v0.3.0 — Production Runtime Operational

🚀 Production Runtime Operational

This release marks a major milestone where the production-configured infrastructure is fully operational locally.

Key Achievements

• Production Docker stack builds and runs successfully
• Environment variable system implemented using .env.prod
• Persistent volumes configured for application data
• Nginx ↔ PHP-FPM communication established
• MySQL initialization and volume behavior understood and controlled
• Redis service integrated and healthy

Improvements

• Transition from configuration-only → fully running production environment
• Resolved container networking and service discovery issues
• Established repeatable startup workflow using environment injection

Notes

• .env.prod is required for all compose commands
• Use docker compose --env-file .env.prod ...
• Database initialization depends on volume state (down -v for reset)

Status

✔ Production runtime operational locally
✔ Services stable and communicating
✔ Ready for domain + HTTPS integration

Next Steps

• Connect domain to server (DNS)
• Update Nginx for domain-based routing
• Enable HTTPS (Let’s Encrypt or Cloudflare)
• Validate public accessibility
