Deployment

Production deployment guide with Docker Compose.

Production with Docker Compose

Recommended Architecture

[Internet] → [Reverse Proxy (Traefik/Nginx)] → [Ackify Container]
                                                        ↓
                                                 [PostgreSQL Container]

Production compose.yml

See the /compose.yml file at the project root for complete configuration.

Included services:

ackify-migrate - PostgreSQL migrations (run once)
ackify-ce - Main application
ackify-db - PostgreSQL 16

Production .env Configuration

# Application
APP_DNS=sign.company.com
ACKIFY_BASE_URL=https://sign.company.com
ACKIFY_ORGANISATION="ACME Corporation"
ACKIFY_LOG_LEVEL=info

# Database (strong password)
POSTGRES_USER=ackifyr
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=$(openssl rand -base64 32)
POSTGRES_DB=ackify

# OAuth2
ACKIFY_OAUTH_PROVIDER=google
ACKIFY_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
ACKIFY_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
ACKIFY_OAUTH_ALLOWED_DOMAIN=@company.com

# Security (generate with openssl)
ACKIFY_OAUTH_COOKIE_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 64)
ACKIFY_ED25519_PRIVATE_KEY=$(openssl rand -base64 64)

# Administration
ACKIFY_ADMIN_EMAILS=admin@company.com,cto@company.com

Reverse Proxy

Traefik

Add labels in compose.yml:

services:
  ackify-ce:
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.http.routers.ackify.rule=Host(`sign.company.com`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.ackify.entrypoints=websecure"
      - "traefik.http.routers.ackify.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt"

Nginx

server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    server_name sign.company.com;

    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/sign.company.com/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/sign.company.com/privkey.pem;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }
}

Security Checklist

✅ HTTPS with valid certificate
✅ Strong secrets (64+ bytes)
✅ PostgreSQL SSL in production
✅ Restricted OAuth domain
✅ Logs in info mode
✅ Automatic backup
✅ Active monitoring

Backup

# Daily PostgreSQL backup
docker compose exec -T ackify-db pg_dump -U ackifyr ackify | gzip > backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).sql.gz

# Restore
gunzip -c backup.sql.gz | docker compose exec -T ackify-db psql -U ackifyr ackify

Update

# Pull new image
docker compose pull ackify-ce

# Restart
docker compose up -d

# Verify
docker compose logs -f ackify-ce
curl https://sign.company.com/api/v1/health
