- **Implemented Dynamic Gatekeeper (Anubis) Proxy:**
- Introduced Anubis as a Gatekeeper proxy layer for services (`web`, `web-staging`, `feedback`, `health`).
- Added `docker-gen` setup (`docker-compose_gatekeeper.template.yml`, `gatekeeper-manager`) to dynamically configure Anubis instances based on container labels (`enable_gatekeeper=true`).
- Updated HAProxy to route traffic through the respective Gatekeeper services.
- **Enhanced Service Health Monitoring & Checks:**
- Integrated `django-health-check` into the Django application, providing detailed health endpoints (e.g., `/health/`).
- Replaced the custom health check view with `django-health-check` URLs.
- Added `psutil` for system metrics in health checks.
- Made Gatus configuration dynamic using `docker-gen` (`config.template.yaml`), allowing automatic discovery and monitoring of service instances (e.g., web workers).
- Externalized Gatus SMTP credentials to environment variables.
- Strengthened `docker-compose_core.yml` with a combined `db-redis-healthcheck` service reporting to Gatus.
- Added explicit health checks for `db` and `redis` services in `docker-compose.yml`.
- **Improved Docker & Compose Configuration:**
- Added `depends_on` conditions in `docker-compose.yml` for `web` and `celery` services to wait for the database.
- Updated `ALLOWED_HOSTS` in `docker-compose_staging.yml` and `docker-compose_web.yml` to include internal container names for Gatekeeper communication.
- Set `DEBUG=False` for staging services.
- Removed `.env.production` from `.gitignore` (standardized to `.env`).
- Streamlined `scripts/entrypoint.sh` by removing the call to the no-longer-present `/deploy.sh`.
- **Dependency Updates:**
- Added `django-health-check>=3.18.3` and `psutil>=7.0.0` to `pyproject.toml` and `uv.lock`.
- Updated `settings.py` to include `health_check` apps, configuration, and use `REDIS_URL` consistently.
- **Streamlined deployment script used in GHA:**
- Updated the workflow to copy new server files and create a new `.env` file in the temporary directory before moving them into place.
- Consolidated the stopping and removal of old containers into a single step for better clarity and efficiency.
- Reduce container downtime by rearranging stop/start steps.
- Introduced `django-linear-migrations` version 2.17.0 to manage migrations more effectively and prevent merges.
- Refactored `INSTALLED_APPS` in `settings.py` to allow linear-migrations to track first party apps explicitly.
- Dev and prod both now run with the same exact docker configuration, except the .env file copied in.
- Removed the `.env` file and added a new `.env.dev` file for development settings, including database configuration and API keys.
- Introduced a `.envrc` file for automatic venv activation.
- Updated `deploy.sh` to utilize `uv` for running management commands and added a command for building Tailwind CSS.
- Created `docker-compose.yml` for local development with PostgreSQL, ensuring proper service dependencies.
- Deleted unnecessary files such as `docker-compose_db_only.yml` and `requirements.txt` to streamline the project structure.
