How the browser reaches the API

The SPA is on http://127.0.0.1:5173 (nginx → backend-api on the Compose network). The API is also published on http://127.0.0.1:8000 for host tools and npm run dev (VITE_API_BASE=http://127.0.0.1:8000).

FRONTEND_PORT=5173
BACKEND_PORT=8000
FRONTEND_URL=http://127.0.0.1:5173

Sole env file: backend/.env (no repo-root .env). Always pass it for Compose variable substitution:

docker compose --env-file ./backend/.env up -d --build

Local (host Postgres)

In backend/.env:

PROD_ENV=false
DB_USERNAME=...
DB_PASSWORD=...
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=5432
DB_NAME=hrms
DB_SSLMODE=
FRONTEND_PORT=8080

Containers set IN_DOCKER=1. With PROD_ENV=false, db_setup rewrites localhost / 127.0.0.1host.docker.internal for the connection URL only (SSL off unless DB_SSLMODE is set). Host Postgres must accept Docker-bridge clients (listen_addresses, pg_hba).

cp backend/.env.example backend/.env  # set JWT, OpenAI, DB_*, PROD_ENV=false
docker compose --env-file ./backend/.env up -d --build
Service Host access
frontend ${FRONTEND_PORT:-80} (all interfaces)
backend-api Compose network only (backend-api:8000); nginx proxies
ats-engine Compose network only (ats-engine:8100)
redis Compose network only (redis:6379)
postgres not started (optional --profile postgres)

Optional loopback publishes for host tools (curl / redis-cli / Postman):

docker compose --env-file ./backend/.env -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.host-ports.yml up -d

If bind fails on Windows because Cursor/VS Code still holds :80 / :8100 / :6379 after a previous run, clear Ports in the IDE or set free values in backend/.env (FRONTEND_PORT, and with the overlay ATS_PORT / REDIS_PORT / BACKEND_PORT).

Optional live-reload / bind mounts:

docker compose --env-file ./backend/.env -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d --build

Optional Compose Postgres (empty volume — not host data):

docker compose --env-file ./backend/.env --profile postgres up -d postgres
# set DB_HOST=postgres in backend/.env, then recreate backend services

Production (RDS)

In backend/.env, set PROD_ENV=true and point plain DB_* at RDS (no prefixed credential sets). Blank DB_SSLMODE → SSL require. Host is never rewritten.

cp backend/.env.example backend/.env
# Edit backend/.env: PROD_ENV=true, DB_* = RDS, JWT_SECRET_KEY, FRONTEND_PORT=80, …
docker compose --env-file ./backend/.env up -d --build
docker compose --env-file ./backend/.env ps

Browser → http://<host>/ → nginx (same-origin) → backend-api:8000. CV files live in the attachments-data named volume (shared by API + workers).

Schema / migrations (automatic)

On every backend-api start:

  1. Fresh empty Postgres → create all tables from models and stamp a marker.
  2. Otherwise → alembic upgrade head if any revision files exist in the image (they normally do not — versions stay gitignored and are excluded from builds).
  3. If DB_AUTOGENERATE=true → detect ORM drift and apply DDL in-memory.
  4. Apply any pending backend/migrations/manual/*.sql (seed/RBAC batches only).

Toggle in backend/.env: DB_AUTO_MIGRATE / DB_AUTOGENERATE (default true).

Verify

docker compose --env-file ./backend/.env config
curl -sf http://127.0.0.1:${FRONTEND_PORT:-8080}/health
curl -sf -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" http://127.0.0.1:${FRONTEND_PORT:-8080}/
docker compose --env-file ./backend/.env logs -f backend-api

Secrets

  • Never bake .env into images (.dockerignore already excludes them).
  • Require a strong DB_PASSWORD and JWT_SECRET_KEY before any real deploy.
  • Only backend/.env holds app + Compose substitution values.
  • Do not put DB_HOST under Compose environment: (empty override blanks RDS).

TLS

This stack serves HTTP on the frontend port. Terminate TLS at a reverse proxy or cloud load balancer in front of that port.

Data migration

The optional Compose Postgres volume starts empty. To move an existing host database:

pg_dump -Fc hrms > hrms.dump
pg_restore -h 127.0.0.1 -p 5433 -U postgres -d hrms --clean --if-exists hrms.dump

Useful commands

docker compose --env-file ./backend/.env logs -f backend-api
docker compose --env-file ./backend/.env logs -f taskiq-worker
docker compose --env-file ./backend/.env restart backend-api
docker compose --env-file ./backend/.env down                 # keep volumes
docker compose --env-file ./backend/.env down -v              # wipe volumes
