The deploy.sh script is now re-added to the entrypoint.sh script
to ensure it runs only during first container startup.
A flag file (/flags/.deployed) is now created after a successful deployment.
The deploy.sh script checks for this flag and will not re-run
deployment steps unless FORCE_DEPLOY is set to true. This prevents
unnecessary re-runs of migrations, collectstatic, etc., on subsequent
container starts within the same deployment.
Corrected permissions for `/app/.cursor-server` and created a `/flags`
directory with appropriate permissions in the `Dockerfile`. Added
ENV DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE with default value to `Dockerfile`.
- **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.
- Modified Docker commands in `.vscode/tasks.json` to remove the `-d` flag for running services, allowing for better visibility of logs during development.
- Adjusted `entrypoint.sh` to streamline the startup process by running the development server and npm concurrently, enhancing the development workflow.
