The enhanced deployment maintains the same reliable twelve-factor workflow while +minimizing manual operational setup to unavoidable external dependencies. From 8134c594c32a3ae264fdee0d194f140ef88253e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jose Celano Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2025 12:27:27 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 2/5] docs: [#21] add comprehensive application installation automation plan - Create detailed implementation plan for Phase 3: Maximum Practical Application Installation Automation - Document current state analysis with accurate status of implemented vs missing components - Provide technical implementation details for SSL certificate automation and MySQL backup automation - Include testing strategy with unit, integration, SSL workflow, and end-to-end testing approaches - Define success criteria focusing on 90%+ automation with minimal manual steps - Add risk assessment and mitigation strategies for high-risk areas - Establish timeline and dependencies for SSL automation (Week 1) and MySQL backup automation (Week 1-2) - Document extension points for existing twelve-factor deployment workflow - Include comprehensive crontab template integration and cloud-init automation - Provide detailed technical specifications for supporting scripts and environment template updates Critical Review Findings: - Updated status table to reflect actual repository state (40% complete, 4/12 components) - Identified missing files: mysql-backup.sh, crontab_utils.sh - Clarified nginx template state (HTTP active, HTTPS commented out) - Corrected environment template status (SSL/backup variables already present) - Fixed all markdown linting issues and improved documentation structure This plan provides the foundation for implementing maximum practical automation while maintaining the existing robust twelve-factor deployment architecture. --- README.md | 48 +- docs/README.md | 8 +- docs/guides/cloud-deployment-guide.md | 646 ++++++++++++++++++ docs/guides/grafana-setup-guide.md | 408 +++++++++++ docs/guides/quick-start.md | 0 .../config/environments/local.env.tpl | 14 + .../config/environments/production.env.tpl | 14 + .../templates/crontab/mysql-backup.cron | 6 + .../config/templates/crontab/ssl-renewal.cron | 6 + infrastructure/scripts/generate-secrets.sh | 29 + project-words.txt | 9 + 11 files changed, 1165 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) create mode 100644 docs/guides/cloud-deployment-guide.md create mode 100644 docs/guides/grafana-setup-guide.md delete mode 100644 docs/guides/quick-start.md create mode 100644 infrastructure/config/templates/crontab/mysql-backup.cron create mode 100644 infrastructure/config/templates/crontab/ssl-renewal.cron create mode 100755 infrastructure/scripts/generate-secrets.sh diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 9b41e1b..41ded6d 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -56,31 +56,31 @@ This project implements a complete [twelve-factor app](https://12factor.net/) ar clear separation between infrastructure provisioning and application deployment: ```text -┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ -│ Configuration Management │ -├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ +┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ +│ Configuration Management │ +├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ • Environment Templates (local.env.tpl, production.env.tpl) │ -│ • Configuration Processing (configure-env.sh) │ -│ • Template Rendering (.tpl → actual configs) │ -└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ +│ • Configuration Processing (configure-env.sh) │ +│ • Template Rendering (.tpl → actual configs) │ +└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ ▼ -┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ -│ Infrastructure Layer │ -├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ -│ • VM Provisioning (provision-infrastructure.sh) │ -│ • Environment-specific Setup (templated cloud-init) │ -│ • Provider Abstraction (local implemented, cloud planned) │ -└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ +┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ +│ Infrastructure Layer │ +├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ +│ • VM Provisioning (provision-infrastructure.sh) │ +│ • Environment-specific Setup (templated cloud-init) │ +│ • Provider Abstraction (local implemented, cloud planned) │ +└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ ▼ -┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ -│ Application Layer │ -├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ -│ • Environment-aware Deployment (templated configs) │ -│ • Dynamic Service Configuration │ -│ • Comprehensive Health Validation │ -└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ +┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ +│ Application Layer │ +├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ +│ • Environment-aware Deployment (templated configs) │ +│ • Dynamic Service Configuration │ +│ • Comprehensive Health Validation │ +└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` ### Key Features @@ -105,6 +105,9 @@ peer connections, and system health. ## 🚀 Quick Start +**New users start here**: [**Deployment Guide**](docs/guides/cloud-deployment-guide.md) -
