# Deploy to Dockge (fastest path: build on the host)
# Deploy to Dockge via the Gitea container registry
This is the quickest way to get Flashcard running on your Proxmox + Dockge setup.
Source comes from Gitea; Dockge builds the image locally and runs it. No container
registry, no Gitea Actions, no `docker login` required.
Flashcard ships as one container (API + built frontend). You build the image once,
push it to your Gitea registry, and Dockge pulls it — same pattern as your
`questionnaire` stack.
Repo: `https://gitea.hausmans.cloud/bert.hausmans/flashcards`
- Gitea repo: `https://gitea.hausmans.cloud/bert.hausmans/flashcards`
- Registry image: `10.0.10.205:3000/bert.hausmans/flashcards:latest`
## What gets deployed
## One-time prerequisites (on this Mac)
One container (`flashcard`) serving the API **and** the built frontend. It listens
on port `3000` inside the container, mapped to **`4000` on the Dockge host**
(`4000:3000` in `compose.yaml`). A persistent named volume (`flashcard-data`) holds
the SQLite database.
Migrations run automatically on every container start.
The registry is plain HTTP on an IP, so Docker must trust it. In **Docker Desktop →
Settings → Docker Engine**, add `10.0.10.205:3000` to `insecure-registries`:
## Step 1 — push the code to Gitea (from your dev machine)
```bash
cd /Users/berthausmans/Documents/Development/flashcard
git remote add origin https://gitea.hausmans.cloud/bert.hausmans/flashcards.git # first time only
git push -u origin master
```json
{
"insecure-registries": ["10.0.10.205:3000"]
}
```
## Step 2 — put the stack on the Dockge host
Apply & restart Docker. Then log in to the registry (use your Gitea username and a
Gitea access token or password — run it yourself so the prompt works):
SSH into the host running Dockge. Dockge keeps stacks in `/opt/stacks` by default.
```bash
cd /opt/stacks
git clone https://gitea.hausmans.cloud/bert.hausmans/flashcards.git flashcard
```
! docker login 10.0.10.205:3000
```
A "flashcard" stack now appears in the Dockge UI (it reads `compose.yaml`).
(The Dockge host already trusts this registry since `questionnaire` pulls from it.)
## Step 3configure environment in Dockge
## Step 1build for amd64 and push
Open the **flashcard** stack in Dockge and edit the `environment:` block:
Your Mac is arm64 but the Proxmox host is amd64, so build with `--platform
linux/amd64`. From the repo root:
- `APP_URL` → how you reach the app, e.g. `http://<dockge-host-ip>:4000`
(this is what verification/reset/invite e-mail links use — get it right).
- `COOKIE_SECURE` → leave `"false"` for now (plain HTTP). Flip to `"true"` only
after you put the app behind HTTPS.
- SMTP (Amazon SES) → fill in `SMTP_HOST` (e.g. `email-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com`),
`SMTP_USER`, `SMTP_PASS`, and `SMTP_FROM`. **Optional for first boot** — see Step 5.
```bash
docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 \
-t 10.0.10.205:3000/bert.hausmans/flashcards:latest \
--push .
```
## Step 4 — deploy
That builds the image and pushes it straight to the Gitea registry.
Click **Deploy** (Dockge runs `docker compose up -d --build`). First build takes a
few minutes (installs deps, builds the frontend, compiles better-sqlite3). When it's
up, open `http://<dockge-host-ip>:4000`.
## Step 2 — create the Dockge stack
## Step 5 — create the first account (becomes sysadmin)
In Dockge, **+ Compose** → name it `flashcard`, and paste the contents of
`compose.yaml` from this repo (or copy the file into the stack directory). Then edit
the `environment:` block:
Go to `/register` and sign up. The **first registered user is automatically the
- `APP_URL` → how users reach the app, e.g. `http://10.0.10.205:4000`
(used in verification / reset / invite e-mail links — get it right).
- `COOKIE_SECURE` → leave `false` over plain HTTP; set `true` only behind HTTPS.
- SMTP (Amazon SES) → fill in `SMTP_HOST` / `SMTP_USER` / `SMTP_PASS` / `SMTP_FROM`,
**or** leave `SMTP_HOST` empty for the first boot (see Step 4).
The stack maps host **4000 → container 4000** and persists the SQLite DB in the
`flashcard-data` volume.
## Step 3 — deploy
Click **Deploy**. Dockge pulls the image and starts it. Open
`http://10.0.10.205:4000`. Migrations run automatically on container start.
## Step 4 — create the first account (becomes sysadmin)
Go to `/register` and sign up — the **first registered user is automatically the
sysadmin**.
- If SES is configured: click the verification link in your inbox.
- If you left SMTP empty: grab the verification link from the container logs —
in Dockge open the flashcard stack → Logs, and copy the
`…/verify-email?token=…` URL printed by the stub mailer.
- SES configured click the verification link in your inbox.
- SMTP left empty → open the stack's **Logs** in Dockge and copy the
`…/verify-email?token=…` link printed by the stub mailer.
Then log in. Done.
## Updating later
Rebuild & push the new image, then redeploy in Dockge:
```bash
cd /opt/stacks/flashcard
git pull
docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 \
-t 10.0.10.205:3000/bert.hausmans/flashcards:latest --push .
```
Then in Dockge click **Deploy** again (rebuilds + restarts). The `flashcard-data`
volume — and therefore all lessons, cards and accounts — persists across redeploys.
In Dockge: open the **flashcard** stack → **Pull** (fetches the new image) →
**Deploy**. The `flashcard-data` volume — and all lessons, cards and accounts —
survives redeploys.
> Tip: for safe rollbacks, also tag a version alongside `latest`, e.g.
> `-t 10.0.10.205:3000/bert.hausmans/flashcards:2026-05-21 -t 10.0.10.205:3000/bert.hausmans/flashcards:latest`.
## Notes & gotchas
- **Data safety:** everything lives in the `flashcard-data` Docker volume. Don't
delete it. Back it up by copying `/data/flashcard.db` out of the container/volume.
- **Secure cookies need HTTPS.** With `COOKIE_SECURE=true` over plain HTTP the
browser silently discards the login cookie. Keep it `false` until you have TLS.
- **Mailpit** (`docker-compose.yml`) is dev-only and is ignored here — Dockge uses
`compose.yaml`.
- The backend runs via `tsx` (TypeScript runtime), matching dev. Migrations are
applied automatically by `docker-entrypoint.sh` before the server starts.
- **Data lives in the `flashcard-data` volume** — don't delete it; back up
`/app/data/flashcard.db`.
- **Secure cookies need HTTPS.** Over plain HTTP keep `COOKIE_SECURE=false`,
otherwise the browser drops the login cookie and sign-in silently fails.
- **Mailpit** (`docker-compose.yml`) is dev-only and unrelated to this deploy.
- The backend runs via `tsx` and applies migrations on boot
(`docker-entrypoint.sh`).
## Next step (optional, when you have time)
## Optional: automate with Gitea Actions
Move to the Gitea container registry + Gitea Actions so Dockge pulls a pre-built
image instead of building on the host. Ask and I'll add a `.gitea/workflows/build.yml`
plus a registry-based `compose.yaml`.
If you later register a Gitea `act_runner`, I can add a `.gitea/workflows/build.yml`
that builds and pushes on every push to `master`, so you skip the manual buildx step.
