# Deployment Guide Woodpecker runs the SvelteKit build (`pnpm run build` → `dist/`), builds the Docker image from that output, pushes the image to **Gitea’s container registry**, then triggers a **Portainer stack redeploy** via webhook. The stack on your Linode VPS pulls the new image and recreates the container. Opening a pull request runs a separate workflow (lint, tests, and a test build) on the branch without building or pushing the Docker image. ## Portainer stack options You can run the stack in Portainer in two ways; both use the **pre-built image** (Option A). | Option | Description | When to use | |--------|-------------|-------------| | **Git repository** | Portainer pulls the stack definition from this repo (`docker-compose.yml`). Compose path: `docker-compose.yml`. On webhook: Portainer pulls latest compose + image and redeploys. | Stack definition (ports, env) lives in git; one repo for app + stack. | | **Web editor** | You paste the compose YAML in Portainer. No compose file in the repo. On webhook: Portainer pulls the image and redeploys. | You prefer to manage stack only in Portainer and keep the repo app-only. | This repo includes `docker-compose.yml` for the **Repository** option. The compose file only references the image (`git.mifi.dev/mifi-ventures/landing:latest`); it does not build. In Portainer, enable **Re-pull image** so each webhook pulls the new `:latest` and recreates the stack. ## Prerequisites - Gitea with Woodpecker CI and **container registry** enabled - Linode VPS with Docker; Portainer installed and managing that environment - Portainer stack created (Repository pointing at this repo, or Web editor with equivalent compose) ## Step-by-Step Setup ### 1. Prepare VPS and Portainer - Install Docker on the Linode VPS and run Portainer (e.g. as a container or on the host). - In Portainer, add your **Gitea registry**: **Settings → Registries → Add registry**. Use the same URL and credentials you use for `REGISTRY_*` in Woodpecker so the host can pull `git.mifi.dev/mifi-ventures/landing:latest`. ### 1b. First-time: push the image so the stack can deploy Portainer pulls `git.mifi.dev/mifi-ventures/landing:latest`. If that image has never been pushed, you get **manifest unknown**. Push it once (from your machine or by running the Woodpecker pipeline), then create the stack. **Option A – Run Woodpecker:** Ensure Woodpecker secrets and variables are set (steps 4–5 below), then push a commit to `main`. The pipeline will build and push the image; after it succeeds, create the stack in Portainer (step 2). **Option B – Push from your machine:** From the repo root, run `pnpm install` and `pnpm run build` to produce `dist/`, then use Docker (or OrbStack, Colima, Rancher Desktop). **If you’re on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) or another ARM Mac**, the VPS is x86_64, so build for that platform to avoid “exec format error”: ```bash pnpm install pnpm run build # SvelteKit → dist/; Critters inlines critical CSS docker login git.mifi.dev # use your Gitea username and token/password docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 -t git.mifi.dev/mifi-ventures/landing:latest --push . ``` Using `--push` (instead of `--load` then `docker push`) sends the amd64 image straight to the registry and avoids local cache mix-ups. If buildx says “multiple platforms not supported”, run `docker buildx create --name multiarch --use` once, then retry. On an x86 Mac or Linux PC you can use `docker build -t ... .` and `docker push` if you prefer. Then create the stack in Portainer; the image will exist and the deploy will succeed. ### 2. Create the Portainer stack **If using Git repository (recommended):** 1. **Stacks → Add stack** → name (e.g. `landing`). 2. Choose **Git repository**. 3. **Repository URL**: `https://git.mifi.dev/mifi-ventures/landing.git` (or your clone URL). Add credentials if the repo is private. 4. **Repository reference**: `main`. 5. **Compose path**: `docker-compose.yml`. 6. Enable **GitOps updates** → **Webhook**. Copy the webhook URL for the Woodpecker secret `portainer_webhook_url`. 7. Enable **Re-pull image** so each webhook pulls the new image. 8. Optionally set stack env vars: `LANDING_PORT=8080` (or leave default in compose). 9. **Deploy the stack**. **If using Web editor:** 1. **Stacks → Add stack** → name (e.g. `landing`). 2. Choose **Web editor** and paste the same structure as `docker-compose.yml` (service with `image: git.mifi.dev/mifi-ventures/landing:latest`, `pull_policy: always`, `ports`, `restart`). 2. Enable the stack **webhook**, copy the URL for `portainer_webhook_url`. 3. **Deploy the stack**. ### 3. Gitea container registry Use Gitea’s built-in container registry. Image path: - **Registry URL**: `git.mifi.dev` - **Image (REGISTRY_REPO)**: `git.mifi.dev/mifi-ventures/landing` - Create a **Gitea token** or use your password with **package:write** (or equivalent) for the `mifi-ventures/landing` package. Use that as `registry_password` in Woodpecker. ### 4. Configure Woodpecker Secrets Woodpecker has no separate “Variables” UI — add everything under **Repo → Settings → Secrets** in Woodpecker: | Name | Value | |------|-------| | `registry_username` | Your Gitea username (used for `docker login`) | | `registry_password` | Gitea token or password (package write to the repo’s registry) | | `portainer_webhook_url` | Portainer stack webhook URL (from step 2) | `REGISTRY_URL` and `REGISTRY_REPO` are set in `.woodpecker/deploy.yaml`; you don’t need to add them anywhere. ### 5. Test Deployment #### Local Test Build The Docker image is built from the contents of `dist/`. That directory is produced by the SvelteKit build, so you must run `pnpm run build` before `docker build` (or let the Dockerfile run it inside the image). ```bash # Clone repo git clone https://git.mifi.dev/mifi-ventures/landing.git cd landing # Install deps and build static site (SvelteKit + Critters) pnpm install pnpm run build # Build Docker image (uses dist/ from the previous step if built on host, # or the Dockerfile runs the build inside the container) docker build -t test . # Run locally docker run -d -p 8080:80 --name test test # Test curl http://localhost:8080 # Cleanup docker stop test && docker rm test ``` To test the static site without Docker, run `pnpm run preview` after `pnpm run build` and open the URL shown (e.g. http://localhost:4173). #### Trigger CI/CD ```bash # Make a small change echo "# Test deployment" >> README.md # Commit and push to main git add README.md git commit -m "test: trigger deployment" git push origin main # Watch pipeline in Woodpecker UI (Gitea → Repository → Pipelines). # After build + push, deploy step calls Portainer webhook; Portainer redeploys the stack. ``` ### 6. Verify Deployment After the pipeline completes: - In **Portainer**, open the stack and confirm the service is running and the image was pulled. - From your machine: `curl http://your-vps-ip:8080` (or the port you set in the stack). - In a browser: visit `http://your-vps-ip:8080` (or your domain if you use a reverse proxy). ## Port Configuration The stack compose uses `LANDING_PORT` (default `8080`). Set it in Portainer stack env vars or in `docker-compose.yml`: - **Direct port 80**: set `LANDING_PORT=80` in the stack. - **Custom port (e.g. behind Traefik)**: set `LANDING_PORT=8080` and proxy 80/443 → 8080. **Note**: With Traefik, security headers are added at the proxy level. ## Traefik Integration Example If using Traefik as reverse proxy, add labels to the service in `docker-compose.yml`: ```yaml services: landing: image: ${LANDING_IMAGE:-git.mifi.dev/mifi-ventures/landing:latest} pull_policy: always restart: unless-stopped labels: - "traefik.enable=true" - "traefik.http.routers.mifi.rule=Host(`mifi.ventures`)" - "traefik.http.routers.mifi.entrypoints=websecure" - "traefik.http.routers.mifi.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt" - "traefik.http.services.mifi.loadbalancer.server.port=80" networks: - traefik-public networks: traefik-public: external: true ``` (Remove or omit `ports` if Traefik is the only entry point.) ## Common Issues ### Registry Login Failed (Woodpecker push) - Ensure `REGISTRY_URL` is `git.mifi.dev` and `REGISTRY_REPO` is `git.mifi.dev/mifi-ventures/landing`. - Use a Gitea token with package write permission (or your password if allowed). - Test locally: `echo "TOKEN" | docker login git.mifi.dev -u USERNAME --password-stdin`. ### unauthorized: reqPackageAccess (push rejected after login) Gitea accepted your login but denied **package** access. Fix: 1. **Token scope** – Create a Gitea **Personal Access Token** with **Read & Write** (or equivalent) for **Packages**. Use that token as the password for `docker login git.mifi.dev`. 2. **Owner in the image path** – The path is `git.mifi.dev/{owner}/{image}`. The **owner** must be a user or org you can publish packages for: - If the repo is under org **mifi-ventures**, your user must be a **member** of that org with **Write** (or Admin) so you can create packages under `mifi-ventures`. - If the repo is under your **user** (e.g. `mifi/landing`), use **your username** as owner: `git.mifi.dev/mifi/landing` (and set `REGISTRY_REPO` to match in Woodpecker and in `docker-compose.yml`). 3. **2FA** – If your account uses 2FA, you must use a token; account password alone may not be enough for package push. ### Portainer Cannot Pull Image - In Portainer, add the Gitea registry under **Settings → Registries** with the same URL and credentials. - Ensure the stack’s **Re-pull image** (or equivalent) is enabled so redeploys pull the new image. ### Webhook Returns 4xx/5xx - Confirm the webhook URL is correct and the stack exists. - In Portainer, open the stack → Webhook and verify the URL matches the secret `portainer_webhook_url`. ### Container Won’t Start (Portainer) - In Portainer, open the stack → service → **Logs**. - Check for port conflicts on the host (e.g. another service using the same port). - Ensure the Gitea registry is added in Portainer so the image can be pulled. ### exec format error (exec /docker-entrypoint.sh) The container is running an image built for the wrong CPU architecture (e.g. **ARM64** on Apple Silicon vs **AMD64** on Linode). 1. **Rebuild and push for amd64** (from your Mac, after `docker login git.mifi.dev`): ```bash docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 -t git.mifi.dev/mifi-ventures/landing:latest --push . ``` Using `--push` sends the amd64 image straight to the registry. If you see “multiple platforms not supported”, run `docker buildx create --name multiarch --use` once, then retry. 2. **Force the VPS to pull the new image** — otherwise it may keep using a cached ARM64 copy of `latest`. On the Linode host (SSH): ```bash docker rmi git.mifi.dev/mifi-ventures/landing:latest ``` Then in Portainer use **Pull and redeploy** (or redeploy with “Re-pull image” enabled) so it pulls the image again. Or redeploy the stack from the Portainer UI after removing the image on the host. 3. **Confirm the image in the registry is amd64** (optional): after pushing, run `docker buildx imagetools inspect git.mifi.dev/mifi-ventures/landing:latest` — the manifest should list `linux/amd64`. Woodpecker runs on amd64, so pipeline-built images are already correct for typical VPS hosts. ## Rollback Procedure If a bad image was deployed: 1. **Portainer**: Open the stack → **Redeploy** with “Re-pull image” off, or edit the stack to use a specific image tag (e.g. `git.mifi.dev/mifi-ventures/landing:`) if you tag by SHA in Woodpecker. 2. **Or** in Gitea, revert the commit and push to `main`; the pipeline will build and push a new image, then the webhook will redeploy. Ensure the reverted commit builds successfully. ## Monitoring - **Portainer**: Stack → service → **Logs**, **Inspect**, **Stats**. - **On the host** (if you have SSH): `docker ps`, `docker logs `, `docker stats `. - **Nginx logs** (from host): `docker exec tail -f /var/log/nginx/access.log` (and `error.log`). - **Disk**: Portainer → **Host** → disk usage; or on host: `docker system df`, `docker image prune -af --filter "until=72h"`. ## Security Checklist - [ ] Registry (Gitea) uses authentication; token stored only in Woodpecker secrets - [ ] Portainer webhook URL stored only in Woodpecker secrets (not in repo) - [ ] VPS firewall configured (ufw or iptables) - [ ] Traefik (or reverse proxy) handles TLS termination if used - [ ] Container runs as non-root user (nginx user in the image) - [ ] Regular security updates on the host (`apt update && apt upgrade`) ## Next Steps 1. Set up monitoring (Prometheus + Grafana) 2. Configure automated backups 3. Add Slack/Discord notifications to the Woodpecker pipeline 4. Set up a staging stack in Portainer (e.g. different port or branch) 5. Optionally tag images by commit SHA in Woodpecker for easier rollback in Portainer --- **Last Updated**: 2026-01-31 **Maintainer**: Mike Fitzpatrick
