# Unraid Installation Guide

Storybid runs as four Docker containers (PostgreSQL, Redis, server, client) managed
by a single `docker-compose.yml`.  This guide covers two installation paths:

- **CLI** — SSH into Unraid and use the terminal directly.  Recommended; always works.
- **GUI** — Use the Community Applications *Compose Manager* plugin to manage the
  stack from the Unraid web interface.

Both methods produce an identical running system.

---

## Prerequisites

| Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|
| Unraid 6.12 or later | Earlier versions lack the built-in Compose support CLI needs |
| Community Applications plugin | Required for GUI method; install from CA store |
| Docker enabled | Unraid → Settings → Docker → Enable Docker = Yes |
| At least 2 GB free RAM | PostgreSQL + Redis + Node API + Nginx |
| A user share for appdata | Default: `/mnt/user/appdata/` |
| A public domain name | For Stripe webhooks and the public bidder URL |
| Stripe account | Live or test; publishable + secret key + webhook secret |
| Twilio Verify service | For SMS OTP login (optional but recommended) |
| SMTP relay | Any transactional email provider (Gmail, Postmark, Mailgun…) |

---

## Directory Layout

All persistent data lives under a single appdata directory.  The recommended path is:

```
/mnt/user/appdata/storybid/
├── repo/               ← cloned source code + docker-compose.yml
│   ├── .env            ← your live config (never commit this file)
│   └── docker-compose.yml
├── postgres/           ← PostgreSQL data volume  (managed by Docker)
├── redis/              ← Redis data volume        (managed by Docker)
└── uploads/            ← uploaded item media      (mapped from media_data volume)
```

> **Tip:** Keep `repo/` on a cache-backed share so builds are fast, but ensure the
> share has `Use Cache: Prefer` or `Only` so data doesn't move to array disks mid-event.

---

## Environment Variables Reference

Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and fill in every value before starting the stack.

```bash
cp /mnt/user/appdata/storybid/repo/.env.example \
   /mnt/user/appdata/storybid/repo/.env
```

### Core app

| Variable | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `NODE_ENV` | `production` | Must be `production` for live deployments |
| `PORT` | `3001` | Internal port the API server listens on |
| `PUBLIC_URL` | `https://bid.example.org` | Externally reachable HTTPS URL.  Used in magic-link emails and as the first-choice socket endpoint |
| `LOCAL_HOSTNAME` | `auction.event.lan` | LAN hostname for event-night failover (see [unifi-dns.md](./unifi-dns.md)).  Must resolve on the event Wi-Fi. |
| `JWT_SECRET` | `64-char random string` | Signs all auth tokens.  Generate with `openssl rand -hex 32` |
| `CLIENT_URL` | `https://bid.example.org` | Allowed CORS origin for the client; usually same as `PUBLIC_URL` |

### Database

| Variable | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `DATABASE_URL` | `postgresql://storybid:PASS@db:5432/storybid` | Postgres connection string.  The hostname is `db` (the Docker service name) in production |

> **Change the password** in both `DATABASE_URL` and the `docker-compose.yml`
> `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` entry before first boot.

### Redis

| Variable | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `REDIS_URL` | `redis://redis:6379` | Redis connection string.  The hostname is `redis` inside the compose network |

### Stripe

| Variable | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `STRIPE_SECRET_KEY` | `sk_live_…` | Stripe secret key from Dashboard → Developers → API keys |
| `STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY` | `pk_live_…` | Stripe publishable key — returned to bidder browsers to initialise payment forms |
| `STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET` | `whsec_…` | Signing secret for `POST /api/webhooks/stripe`.  Created when you register the webhook endpoint in Stripe Dashboard |

### Twilio Verify (SMS OTP)

| Variable | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|

---

## Method 1 — CLI via SSH

### 1. Enable SSH on Unraid

**Unraid web UI → Settings → Management Access → SSH → Enable SSH = Yes**

Connect from your workstation:

```bash
ssh root@192.168.1.X          # replace with your Unraid IP
```

### 2. Clone the repository

```bash
mkdir -p /mnt/user/appdata/storybid
cd /mnt/user/appdata/storybid
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_ORG/storybid.git repo
cd repo
```

If you don't have `git` on Unraid, install it via the **NerdTools** Community
Applications plugin, or transfer a zip via SCP:

```bash
# From your workstation
scp storybid.zip root@192.168.1.X:/mnt/user/appdata/storybid/
# On Unraid
cd /mnt/user/appdata/storybid && unzip storybid.zip && mv storybid repo
```

### 3. Configure the environment file

```bash
cd /mnt/user/appdata/storybid/repo
cp .env.example .env
nano .env          # or vi .env
```

Minimum required edits:

```bash
NODE_ENV=production
PUBLIC_URL=https://bid.example.org
JWT_SECRET=$(openssl rand -hex 32)   # paste output, don't run inline in .env

DATABASE_URL=postgresql://storybid:CHANGE_ME@db:5432/storybid
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_live_...
STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=pk_live_...
STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_...
SMTP_HOST=smtp.example.com
SMTP_USER=noreply@example.org
SMTP_PASS=...
EMAIL_FROM=Storybid <noreply@example.org>
```

Also update `docker-compose.yml` to match the Postgres password you set above:

```bash
# In docker-compose.yml, under the db service:
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: CHANGE_ME
# And in the server service environment:
DATABASE_URL: postgresql://storybid:CHANGE_ME@db:5432/storybid
```

### 4. Update volume paths (optional — recommended)

By default Docker manages named volumes internally.  To make them visible in the
Unraid GUI and ensure they survive array changes, pin them to explicit paths:

```yaml
# In docker-compose.yml, replace the volumes block at the bottom:
volumes:
  postgres_data:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      type: none
      o: bind
      device: /mnt/user/appdata/storybid/postgres

  redis_data:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      type: none
      o: bind
      device: /mnt/user/appdata/storybid/redis

  media_data:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      type: none
      o: bind
      device: /mnt/user/appdata/storybid/uploads
```

Create the directories first:

```bash
mkdir -p /mnt/user/appdata/storybid/{postgres,redis,uploads}
```

### 5. Build and start the stack

```bash
cd /mnt/user/appdata/storybid/repo
docker compose up -d --build
```

First build downloads base images and compiles the TypeScript source — allow 3–5
minutes.  Watch progress:

```bash
docker compose logs -f
```

All four containers should reach **Up** state:

```
NAME                STATUS
storybid-db-1       Up (healthy)
storybid-redis-1    Up (healthy)
storybid-server-1   Up
storybid-client-1   Up
```

### 6. Run database migrations

Run once after the first boot, and again after any update that includes schema changes:

```bash
docker compose exec server npx prisma migrate deploy
```

### 7. Create the first admin user

```bash
docker compose exec server node -e "
const { prisma } = await import('./dist/lib/prisma.js');
await prisma.organization.create({
  data: {
    name: 'My Charity',
    staffUsers: {
      create: {
        name: 'Admin',
        email: 'admin@example.org',
        role: 'admin',
        passwordHash: null,
      }
    }
  }
});
console.log('Done');
await prisma.\$disconnect();
"
```

Then use the magic-link login flow at `http://UNRAID-IP:8080` to sign in with
`admin@example.org`.  The magic link will arrive at the SMTP address you configured.

---

## Method 2 — GUI via Compose Manager Plugin

The **Docker Compose Manager** plugin lets you manage compose stacks entirely from
the Unraid web interface without touching the terminal.

### 1. Install the plugin

1. Open **Unraid web UI → Apps** (Community Applications).
2. Search for **"Compose Manager"**.
3. Click **Install** on the result by *dcflachs*.
4. After installation, a new **Compose** tab appears in the Docker section.

### 2. Upload the source files

The plugin reads compose files from `/boot/config/plugins/compose.manager/projects/`.
Each project is a subdirectory containing `docker-compose.yml` and optionally a `.env`.

**Option A — File Manager plugin (easiest)**

1. Install **Unraid File Manager** from Community Applications.
2. Navigate to `/boot/config/plugins/compose.manager/projects/`.
3. Create a folder named `storybid`.
4. Upload `docker-compose.yml` and your completed `.env` into that folder.

**Option B — SCP from your workstation**

```bash
# From your workstation
scp docker-compose.yml root@192.168.1.X:/boot/config/plugins/compose.manager/projects/storybid/
scp .env               root@192.168.1.X:/boot/config/plugins/compose.manager/projects/storybid/
```

### 3. Set explicit volume bind mounts

Before starting, edit `docker-compose.yml` to replace Docker-managed volumes with
explicit host paths so Unraid can show them in the GUI (same change as step 4 of the
CLI method above):

```yaml
volumes:
  postgres_data:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      type: none
      o: bind
      device: /mnt/user/appdata/storybid/postgres

  redis_data:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      type: none
      o: bind
      device: /mnt/user/appdata/storybid/redis

  media_data:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      type: none
      o: bind
      device: /mnt/user/appdata/storybid/uploads
```

Create the host directories via **Unraid → Tools → New Terminal**:

```bash
mkdir -p /mnt/user/appdata/storybid/{postgres,redis,uploads}
```

### 4. Configure environment variables in the GUI

1. In the **Compose** tab, click the **storybid** project row.
2. Click **Edit** to open the compose file editor — verify paths look correct.
3. Click the **⚙ Environment** button (or edit the `.env` file directly via File
   Manager).
4. Set every variable listed in the [Environment Variables Reference](#environment-variables-reference)
   above.  At minimum:

   | Key | Value |
   |---|---|
   | `NODE_ENV` | `production` |
   | `PUBLIC_URL` | `https://bid.example.org` |
   | `JWT_SECRET` | *(64-char random string — generate in Terminal with `openssl rand -hex 32`)* |
   | `DATABASE_URL` | `postgresql://storybid:CHANGE_ME@db:5432/storybid` |
   | `STRIPE_SECRET_KEY` | `sk_live_…` |
   | `STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY` | `pk_live_…` |
   | `STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET` | `whsec_…` |
   | `SMTP_HOST` | your SMTP server |
   | `SMTP_USER` | sender address |
   | `SMTP_PASS` | SMTP password |
   | `EMAIL_FROM` | `Storybid <noreply@example.org>` |

5. Click **Save**.

### 5. Build and start the stack

1. In the **Compose** tab, click **Up** (▶) next to **storybid**.
2. The compose manager opens a build log window.  First build takes 3–5 minutes.
3. When all containers show **Running**, close the log.

### 6. Run migrations via the terminal

The GUI plugin does not yet have a built-in `exec` interface, so open a terminal for
this one step:

**Unraid → Tools → New Terminal**

```bash
docker exec storybid-server-1 npx prisma migrate deploy
```

> The container name format is `<project>-<service>-1`.  If yours differs, run
> `docker ps` to find the exact name.

## Reverse Proxy (Nginx Proxy Manager)

Storybid needs HTTPS for Stripe webhooks, PWA installation, and the camera API used
by the check-in page.  **Nginx Proxy Manager** is the easiest option on Unraid.

### Install Nginx Proxy Manager

Search **"Nginx Proxy Manager"** in Community Applications and install it.  Default
ports: HTTP 80, HTTPS 443, Admin UI 81.

### Add a proxy host for the client

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Domain Names | `bid.example.org` |
| Scheme | `http` |
| Forward Hostname / IP | Unraid LAN IP (e.g. `192.168.1.50`) |
| Forward Port | `8080` |
| SSL Certificate | Request via Let's Encrypt (built into the GUI) |
| Force SSL | ✅ |
| HTTP/2 Support | ✅ |

### Add a proxy host for the API + WebSocket

Create a **second** proxy host (or add a location block) if your client and server are
on different subdomains, otherwise the single `bid.example.org` host handles both
because the Nginx config inside the client container already proxies `/api` and
`/socket.io` to `server:3001`.

If you prefer separate subdomains:

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Domain Names | `api.example.org` |
| Scheme | `http` |
| Forward Hostname / IP | `192.168.1.50` |
| Forward Port | `3001` |
| SSL | Let's Encrypt |
| WebSockets Support | ✅ |

Then update `PUBLIC_URL` and `CLIENT_URL` in `.env` accordingly.

---

## Register the Stripe Webhook

1. Go to **Stripe Dashboard → Developers → Webhooks → Add endpoint**.
2. Endpoint URL: `https://bid.example.org/api/webhooks/stripe`
3. Events to listen for:
   - `payment_intent.succeeded`
   - `payment_intent.payment_failed`
4. Click **Add endpoint**.
5. Copy the **Signing secret** (`whsec_…`) into `STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET` in `.env`.
6. Restart the server container to pick up the new value:

   ```bash
   # CLI
   docker compose restart server

   # GUI — Compose tab → storybid → Restart
   ```

---

## Updating Storybid

### CLI

```bash
cd /mnt/user/appdata/storybid/repo
git pull
docker compose up -d --build
docker compose exec server npx prisma migrate deploy
```

### GUI

1. Transfer the updated `docker-compose.yml` to the project folder (same path as
   installation).
2. **Compose tab → storybid → Pull + Up** — this rebuilds images and restarts containers.
3. Open **Unraid → Tools → New Terminal** and run:
   ```bash
   docker exec storybid-server-1 npx prisma migrate deploy
   ```

---

## Port Reference

| Port | Service | Exposed to |
|---|---|---|
| `3001` | API server | Reverse proxy / LAN |
| `8080` | Client (Nginx) | Reverse proxy / LAN |
| `5432` | PostgreSQL | LAN only (close in production if not needed) |
| `6379` | Redis | LAN only (close in production if not needed) |

To restrict Postgres and Redis to the Docker internal network only (recommended for
production), remove their `ports:` entries from `docker-compose.yml`:

```yaml
# Remove or comment out these blocks:
  db:
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"   # ← remove

  redis:
    ports:
      - "6379:6379"   # ← remove
```

---

## Troubleshooting

### Containers restart immediately

```bash
docker compose logs server   # check for DATABASE_URL or JWT_SECRET errors
docker compose logs db       # check for volume permission issues
```

### Migration fails with "relation already exists"

The database was already migrated.  This is safe to ignore, or run:

```bash
docker compose exec server npx prisma migrate status
```

### `STRIPE_SECRET_KEY is not configured` error in logs

The `.env` file is not being loaded.  Verify:

- `.env` is in the same directory as `docker-compose.yml`.
- The `server` service in `docker-compose.yml` has `env_file: .env`.
- No trailing whitespace or Windows line endings in `.env`
  (`dos2unix .env` fixes CRLF issues).

### Media uploads return 404

Check that the `uploads` bind-mount directory exists and is writable:

```bash
ls -la /mnt/user/appdata/storybid/uploads
chmod 755 /mnt/user/appdata/storybid/uploads
docker compose restart server
```

### Bidders can't connect via local LAN hostname

1. Verify the DNS record resolves from a device on the event Wi-Fi:
   ```bash
   nslookup auction.event.lan
   ```
2. Confirm `LOCAL_HOSTNAME` in `.env` matches the DNS record exactly.
3. See [unifi-dns.md](./unifi-dns.md) for full UniFi DNS setup steps.

### Compose Manager shows "project not found"

The project directory must be inside `/boot/config/plugins/compose.manager/projects/`.
Files on `/mnt/user/` shares are not read by the plugin.  Use SCP or File Manager to
place files in the correct location on `/boot`.
