Deploying Provenance

This directory is the self-host stack: docker-compose.yml (Postgres + MinIO + Caddy + backend + worker + frontend, with a one-shot Alembic migrate job), Caddyfile for the edge, .env.example for configuration, and backup.sh / BACKUP.md for backup and restore.

Run it

cp .env.example .env    # fill in secrets, OWNER_EMAIL, APP_ENV=production
docker compose up -d    # pulls backend/frontend images from git.jpaul.io

Images are pulled from the public git.jpaul.io registry (CI pushes them to the LAN endpoint 192.168.0.2:1234; see CLAUDE.md). To build locally instead, layer the dev override:

docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d --build

Caddy's site address is env-driven (PROVENANCE_SITE_ADDRESS): :80 for plain HTTP behind a tunnel or for http://localhost, or a domain for automatic HTTPS. Nothing in this repo hard-codes a hostname.

Note that a Watchtower image swap recreates only the long-running containers, not the one-shot migrate job — pair auto-deploys with a docker compose up so migrations re-run.

The maintainer's instance

Justin's own deployment — the one holding the Paul/Reier family tree:

URL https://provenance.paul.farm
Host 192.168.0.2 (the fleet host; also the LAN registry endpoint)
Ingress Cloudflare Tunnel → caddy:80; Cloudflare terminates TLS, so PROVENANCE_SITE_ADDRESS stays :80
Owner account [email protected]
Deploys CI builds on merge to main; the host's global Watchtower swaps the test-main images

Health check (no auth): curl https://provenance.paul.farm/health.

It reports "env":"production" — the host's .env sets APP_ENV=production (corrected 2026-09-20; it had been left at the .env.example default). app_env is informational: /health and /api/v1/admin report it, nothing branches on it.
