# RateMyClient - Docker Setup
This guide will help you run the RateMyClient Phoenix application using Docker Compose.
## Prerequisites
- Docker Desktop installed and running
- Docker Compose (included with Docker Desktop)
## Quick Start
1. **Create your .env file:**
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
Then edit `.env` and update the values for your environment:
- For production, generate a new `SECRET_KEY_BASE`
- Update `PHX_HOST` to your production domain (e.g., `ratemyclient.sivic.me`)
2. **Build and start the containers:**
```bash
docker-compose up --build
```
This will:
- Build the Phoenix application Docker image
- Start PostgreSQL database
- Create the database
- Run migrations
- Create an admin user
- Start the Phoenix server
3. **Access the application:**
Open your browser and navigate to: http://localhost:4000
## Default Admin Credentials
- **Username:** `admin`
- **Password:** `admin123`
- **Admin Login:** http://localhost:4000/admin/login
## Useful Commands
### Start containers (detached mode)
```bash
docker-compose up -d
```
### Stop containers
```bash
docker-compose down
```
### View logs
```bash
docker-compose logs -f web
```
### Rebuild after code changes
```bash
docker-compose up --build
```
### Access the Phoenix console
```bash
docker-compose exec web bin/my_first_elixir_vibe_code remote
```
### Run migrations manually
```bash
docker-compose exec web bin/my_first_elixir_vibe_code eval "MyFirstElixirVibeCode.Release.migrate()"
```
### Access PostgreSQL
```bash
docker-compose exec db psql -U postgres -d my_first_elixir_vibe_code_dev
```
## Volumes
The application uses a persistent volume for PostgreSQL data:
- `postgres_data`: Stores database data
To completely reset the database:
```bash
docker-compose down -v
docker-compose up --build
```
## Environment Variables
The application uses a `.env` file for configuration. Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and customize:
- `POSTGRES_USER`: PostgreSQL username (default: postgres)
- `POSTGRES_PASSWORD`: PostgreSQL password (default: postgres)
- `POSTGRES_DB`: PostgreSQL database name
- `DATABASE_URL`: PostgreSQL connection string
- `SECRET_KEY_BASE`: Secret key for Phoenix (**IMPORTANT:** Generate a new one for production!)
- `PHX_HOST`: Hostname for the application (localhost for dev, your domain for production)
- `PORT`: Port to run the application on (default: 4000)
### Generating a new SECRET_KEY_BASE
For production, you must generate a new secret key:
```bash
# Using Docker:
docker-compose run --rm web bin/my_first_elixir_vibe_code eval "IO.puts(:crypto.strong_rand_bytes(64) |> Base.encode64())"
# Or locally if you have Elixir installed:
mix phx.gen.secret
```
## Troubleshooting
### Port already in use
If port 4000 is already in use, change the port mapping in `docker-compose.yml`:
```yaml
ports:
- "8080:4000" # Access via http://localhost:8080
```
### Database connection issues
Make sure the database container is healthy:
```bash
docker-compose ps
```
### Clean rebuild
```bash
docker-compose down -v
docker system prune -a
docker-compose up --build
```
## Production Notes
This Docker setup is configured for production use. For actual production deployment:
1. Change the `SECRET_KEY_BASE` to a new secure value
2. Update database credentials in `docker-compose.yml`
3. Consider using environment files (.env) instead of hardcoded values
4. Set up SSL/TLS termination (nginx, traefik, etc.)
5. Configure proper backup strategies for the database
