# Deploy to Synology NAS (Container Manager) — LAN / HTTP

Target: run the ROLAC stack on a Synology **DS220+** (Celeron J4025 / 2GB RAM),
reachable on the LAN at `http://<nas-ip>:8080`. Images are **built on the dev PC**
(the NAS is too weak to compile — Angular's build alone can need >2GB RAM), pushed to
the **Gitea registry** on the NAS, and the NAS only **pulls + restarts** the containers.

```
                 push main
   dev PC  ───────────────►  Gitea (NAS)
   (runner: builder)            │ triggers .gitea/workflows/ci-cd-nas.yml
   test + build + push ─────────┤

                                                                    ▼
browser (LAN)  ->  http://<nas-ip>:8080
                        │  nginx edge (container, 8080->80)
                        ├── /        -> app  container (Angular static)
                        └── /api/    -> api  container (ASP.NET, :8080)
api  ──> existing PostgreSQL @ 192.168.68.55:49154   (not containerized)
```

Why this split: DS220+ can comfortably **run** these lightweight containers
(nginx + precompiled .NET + static files) but cannot **build** them. So building
(test, `dotnet publish`, `ng build`) runs on the dev PC; the NAS just pulls.

Differences vs the Azure plan: no TLS/certbot, edge on **8080** (DSM owns 80/443),
reuse the LAN database, deploy via the on-NAS runner (no SSH).

## Two runners, two jobs

| Job | `runs-on` | Where | Does |
|-----|-----------|-------|------|
| `build-push` | `windows` | **dev PC** | test → build both images → push to registry |
| `deploy` | `nas` | **NAS** | pull images → `docker compose up -d` → health check |

> The dev-PC runner is registered with the label `windows:host` — `runs-on` matches
> the label NAME (`windows`); `:host` is the run mode (executes directly on the PC,
> not in a container, so it uses Docker Desktop + the installed .NET SDK).

`deploy` has `needs: build-push`, so it only runs after the build succeeds.

---

## One-time setup — DEV PC (the `windows` runner)  ✅ already done

The dev PC runs act_runner natively with the label `windows:host`, using its
installed Docker Desktop + .NET 8 SDK. The workflow's `build-push` job targets
`runs-on: windows`. Requirements (for reference):

- Docker Desktop running, and `docker` on PATH.
- .NET 8 SDK on PATH (`dotnet test` runs on this machine).
- **Git for Windows** installed — the job uses `shell: bash` (Git Bash) for the
  multi-line `docker build`/`push` steps.

## One-time setup — NAS (the `nas` runner)

1. **Deploy dir + secrets** (via SSH or File Station):
   ```bash
   mkdir -p /volume1/docker/rolac/nginx/conf.d /volume1/docker/rolac/data/api-storage
   cp /path/to/repo/deploy/nas/.env.example /volume1/docker/rolac/.env
   # edit /volume1/docker/rolac/.env  -> real DB user/password + JWT_SECRET + APP_ORIGIN
   ```

2. **Registry token** — in Gitea: Settings → Applications → new token with
   `read:package` + `write:package`. Log the NAS Docker in once:
   ```bash
   docker login git.golife.love -u ChrisChen   # paste the token
   ```

3. **Install act_runner on the NAS** (Container Manager → Registry → `gitea/act_runner`,
   or `docker run`). It must:
   - mount the host Docker socket: `-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock`
   - mount the deploy dir at the same path: `-v /volume1/docker/rolac:/volume1/docker/rolac`
   - register with the label **`nas`** (this is what `runs-on: nas` targets).
   ```bash
   docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --name rolac-runner \
     -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
     -v /volume1/docker/rolac:/volume1/docker/rolac \
     -e GITEA_INSTANCE_URL=https://git.golife.love \
     -e GITEA_RUNNER_REGISTRATION_TOKEN=<token> \
     -e GITEA_RUNNER_LABELS=nas \
     gitea/act_runner:latest
   ```

## One-time setup — Gitea repo

1. **Secrets** (Settings → Actions → Secrets):
   - `REGISTRY_USER` = `ChrisChen`
   - `REGISTRY_TOKEN` = the package token (with `write:package`)
2. **Enable Actions** for the repo if not already (Settings → Advanced → Actions).

---

## Day-to-day

`git push` to `main` → `.gitea/workflows/ci-cd-nas.yml`:

1. **dev PC** (`builder`): `dotnet test` → build `rolac-api` + `rolac-app`
   (tags `:latest` and `:<git-sha>`) → push to `git.golife.love/chrischen/*`.
2. **NAS** (`nas`): sync compose/nginx → `TAG=<git-sha> docker compose pull` →
   `docker compose up -d` → `curl /api/health`.

Open `http://<nas-ip>:8080` and log in.

Deploy pins `TAG=<git-sha>` (not `latest`), so the NAS always runs exactly the image
this commit produced and `compose pull` forces a fresh fetch.

---

## Manual fallback (no runners yet)

From the dev PC (Docker Desktop + `docker login git.golife.love`):
```powershell
# repo root — build + push both images (tags :latest and :<git-sha>)
.\deploy\build-push.ps1
```
Then on the NAS:
```bash
cd /volume1/docker/rolac
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
curl -fsS http://localhost:8080/api/health
```

## Notes

- **First boot runs DB migrations** against `192.168.68.55` automatically
  (`Program.cs` calls `MigrateAsync()` + seed). Make sure the DB user has DDL rights;
  back up before the first run.
- **Bind-mount paths**: the NAS runner runs compose at `/volume1/docker/rolac` on the
  host (socket-mounted), so `./nginx/conf.d` and `./data` resolve to real NAS paths —
  that's why the runner mounts that dir at the *same* path.
- **Uploaded files** persist under `/volume1/docker/rolac/data/api-storage`.
- **DS220+ runs, never builds.** Keep all compilation on the dev PC / a beefier runner.
- To expose beyond the LAN later, put it behind DSM's reverse proxy (Application Portal)
  or switch to the Azure `deploy/` files with certbot.
