Environment Setup ```bash # Copy and configure environment cp .env.example .env nano .env # Edit with production values ``` ### 2. SSL Certificate ```bash # Install Certbot sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx -y # Obtain certificate sudo certbot --nginx -d yourdomain.com # Test auto-renewal sudo certbot renew --dry-run ``` ### 3. Deploy ```bash # Build and deploy docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d --build # Verify docker compose ps curl http://localhost/api/health ``` ### 4. Verify HTTPS ```bash # Test redirect curl -I http://yourdomain.com # Should return 301 redirect to HTTPS # Test HTTPS curl -I https://yourdomain.com # Should return 200 OK ``` ### 5. Monitor ```bash # Check logs docker compose logs -f # Check resource usage docker stats # Check disk space df -h ``` --- ## Post-Deployment Validation ### Functional Tests - [ ] Homepage loads correctly - [ ] All navigation links work - [ ] AI Studio tools functional - [ ] Document Vault works - [ ] Project export/import works - [ ] Multi-language switching works (EN/FR/AR) - [ ] API health check returns 200 ### Security Tests - [ ] HTTPS redirect works - [ ] Security headers present (check with curl -I) - [ ] Rate limiting triggers after 100 requests - [ ] Invalid API requests return 400 - [ ] Non-existent routes return 404 ### Performance Tests - [ ] Page load < 3 seconds on 3G - [ ] API response < 500ms (excluding AI generation) - [ ] Gzip compression active (check Content-Encoding header) - [ ] Static assets cached (check Cache-Control header) ### Monitoring Tests - [ ] Health check accessible - [ ] Logs rotating properly - [ ] Backup script runs successfully - [ ] Uptime monitoring receiving pings --- ## Rollback Procedure If deployment fails or issues arise: ### 1. Immediate Rollback ```bash # Stop current deployment docker compose down # Revert code cd /opt/atlasgreen git checkout # Rebuild with previous version docker compose up -d --build ``` ### 2. Verify Rollback ```bash # Check containers docker compose ps # Check logs docker compose logs -f # Test functionality curl http://localhost/api/health ``` ### 3. Document Issue - Record what went wrong - Document steps taken to resolve - Update deployment checklist if needed --- ## Maintenance Schedule ### Daily - [ ] Check error logs - [ ] Verify uptime monitoring - [ ] Check disk space ### Weekly - [ ] Review access logs for anomalies - [ ] Check backup completion - [ ] Review API usage patterns ### Monthly - [ ] Update system packages - [ ] Update Docker images - [ ] Review and rotate API keys - [ ] Test backup restoration - [ ] Review user feedback ### Quarterly - [ ] Security audit (dependencies, configs) - [ ] Performance review - [ ] Update documentation - [ ] Review and update firewall rules - [ ] Penetration testing (optional) --- ## Emergency Contacts | Role | Name | Contact | |------|------|---------| | Primary Admin | [Name] | [Phone/Email] | | Secondary Admin | [Name] | [Phone/Email] | | VPS Provider Support | [Provider] | [Support URL/Phone] | | Domain Registrar | [Registrar] | [Support URL/Phone] | --- ## Incident Response ### Severity Levels - **P1 (Critical)**: Site down, data breach - **P2 (High)**: Major functionality broken - **P3 (Medium)**: Minor functionality issues - **P4 (Low)**: Cosmetic issues, minor bugs ### Response Times - P1: Immediate (< 15 minutes) - P2: Within 2 hours - P3: Within 24 hours - P4: Within 1 week ### Escalation Path 1. Primary Admin 2. Secondary Admin 3. External consultant (if needed) --- ## Success Criteria Deployment is considered successful when: - [ ] All functional tests pass - [ ] All security tests pass - [ ] Performance benchmarks met - [ ] Monitoring active and alerting - [ ] Backups running successfully - [ ] Documentation complete - [ ] Team trained on procedures --- **Version**: 1.0 **Last Updated**: January 2026 **Next Review**: February 2026
