Spec brief (plan / risks / stack)

difficulty=S cpu=2 vCPU (burstable OK) ram=2GB disk=30GB

A Dockerized, Traefik-proxied template app on a single VPS is a common baseline for validating providers, demoing deployments, and spinning up new projects quickly with predictable ops.

Why high demand

A Dockerized, Traefik-proxied template app on a single VPS is a common baseline for validating providers, demoing deployments, and spinning up new projects quickly with predictable ops.

Core features

Public landing page for Test App (demo)
Health/status endpoints and basic uptime page
Simple CRUD demo entity (e.g., Notes) with validation
Admin login + protected admin page
Deployment-ready Docker Compose stack behind Traefik

MVP scope

One responsive web UI with a single protected admin route
REST API with CRUD for one model + pagination
PostgreSQL persistence with migrations
Session-based auth for admin user (single role)
Basic logs and metrics endpoint; simple error reporting

Step-by-step plan

Define domains/subdomains and DNS records (app, api, traefik/dashboard if needed)
Create repo structure: /frontend /backend /infra with docker-compose.yml and Traefik dynamic config
Implement backend service: CRUD, migrations, health endpoints, admin auth
Implement frontend: landing + admin login + CRUD UI (minimal styling)
Wire Traefik routes/middlewares: HTTPS via ACME, gzip, security headers, rate limit (basic)
Add observability: structured logs, basic metrics, error capture; confirm container log rotation
Add backup job: nightly pg_dump to local + optional offsite (S3-compatible) and restore test
CI/CD: build and deploy via SSH (or GitHub Actions) pulling repo and running compose up -d
Load test lightly (wrk/k6) and tune: DB connections, request limits, container resources
Document runbook: deploy, rollback, backups, restore, renew certs, rotate secrets

Possible risks

Under-provisioned VPS leading to OOM/restarts during builds or peak traffic
Misconfigured Traefik routing/TLS causing downtime or redirect loops
Database backups not tested or not automated
Secrets leakage via env files, logs, or Git history
Single-server blast radius: no HA; upgrades can cause outages

Tech stack

Key	Value
frontend	React + Vite (served by Nginx container) or simple server-side templates if preferred
backend	Node.js (Express) with TypeScript
db	PostgreSQL 16
auth	Cookie-based sessions (express-session) + bcrypt; single admin user in DB
storage	Local volume for uploads (optional) with clear size limits; consider S3-compatible later
queue	None for MVP; use in-process cron for simple jobs (backups handled outside app)
observability	Docker logs (json-file) + Traefik access logs + optional Prometheus node exporter

Infra notes

Single VPS with Docker Engine + Docker Compose; pin image versions and use restart: unless-stopped
Traefik as edge router with ACME TLS; only expose 80/443; keep DB internal network-only
Use .env for secrets on server only; never commit; rotate admin password and session secret
Persistent volumes: postgres data, app uploads (if any), Traefik acme.json; set correct permissions
Backups: schedule via host cron or lightweight backup container; verify restores monthly
Resource limits: set memory limits per container to prevent host OOM; enable swap only if necessary
Security: automatic OS updates, firewall (ufw), disable password SSH, fail2ban optional

Questions

Do you need a custom domain and HTTPS, or is provider IP access sufficient for the demo?
Should this be a pure API + static frontend, or server-rendered pages to reduce complexity?
Is persistence required for the demo, or can the CRUD be ephemeral/in-memory?
Do you need multi-user auth or only a single admin account?
Any requirement to support file uploads or background jobs in the MVP?
