General Development Guide

This skill provides instructions for developing the Docklift project, a self-hosted Docker deployment platform.

Prerequisites

Docker: Ensure Docker is installed and running.
Bun: This project uses Bun as the package manager and runtime for scripts.

Project Structure

backend/: Node.js Express API server.
frontend/: Next.js 16 React application.
nginx-proxy/: Reverse proxy configuration for deployed projects.
data/: SQLite database storage (mounted volume).
deployments/: Storage for project files (mounted volume).

Quick Start (Development)

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/SSujitX/docklift.git
cd docklift

Backend Setup: Open a terminal and run:

cd backend
cp .env.example .env
bun install
bun run db:generate
bun run db:push
bun run dev

The backend will start on http://localhost:4000.

Frontend Setup: Open a new terminal and run:
```
cd frontend
bun install
bun run dev
```
The frontend will start on http://localhost:3000.

Common Commands

Backend

bun run build: Compile TypeScript.
bun run db:studio: Open Prisma Studio GUI to view/edit database data.
bun run reset-password: Reset the admin password.

Frontend

bun run build: Create a production build of the Next.js app.
bun run lint: Run ESLint checks.

Docker (Infrastructure)

docker compose up -d: Start the production-like environment (nginx, backend, frontend).
docker compose logs -f: View logs for all services.

Architecture Notes

Authentication: detailed in CODEBASE_SUMMARY.md. Uses JWT, stored in localStorage.
Deployments: The backend manages Docker deployments. It clones repos/unzips files, generates docker-compose.yml, and runs docker compose up.
Nginx: Used for routing custom domains to the appropriate containers.

Troubleshooting

"Session validation failed": Check if the JWT token is expired or valid.
Build errors: ensure you are using the correct Node/Bun versions and dependencies are installed.
