release.yml's first real run failed: docker/login-action against 192.168.0.3:3000 hit "server gave HTTP response to HTTPS client" — Docker refuses any non-localhost registry over plain HTTP by default, so this was never actually a workflow bug. Rejected insecure-registries in daemon.json after reading this Unraid host's own rc.docker script: applying it needs a full dockerd restart, and with Live Restore disabled here, that stops every one of the ~40 other containers on the box first. Also rejected a real Let's Encrypt cert on a public bbergle.com subdomain — this host's other subdomains are Cloudflare-proxied, which would terminate TLS at Cloudflare's edge and never reach our own cert at all. Chosen instead, scoped to touch nothing already working: a self-signed cert for registry.bbergle.com behind a new NPMplus proxy host (found its real HTTPS port, 9537, by reading `docker port NPMplus` rather than assuming 443, which is a different nginx process on this box entirely); an /etc/hosts entry on the Unraid host so only that host needs to resolve the name (no DNS record, no router/NAT dependency); and its CA dropped into /etc/docker/certs.d, which Docker's own docs confirm is read per-connection with no daemon restart required. Also pins buildx to driver: docker instead of setup-buildx-action's default docker-container driver, which runs an isolated builder that doesn't see /etc/docker/certs.d and would have quietly defeated all of the above. Full record, including what was rejected and why, in docs/DECISIONS.md D17.

Everything needed to run Velodrome as one container. See docs/DECISIONS.md D15 (why SQLite
and one container) and D16 (why migrations run from the entrypoint, and the Caddy/tini setup)
before changing anything here.
../Dockerfile Multi-stage build: web SPA + API venv + Caddy, into one runtime image
Caddyfile Serves the static SPA, proxies /api/* to uvicorn on loopback
entrypoint.sh Runs migrations, then supervises uvicorn + Caddy as PID 1's children
unraid-template.xml Unraid Community Applications template — turns the env vars below into
fillable web UI fields instead of a .env file
There is no docker-compose here, deliberately — the app is one container, not a set of services
that need orchestrating together. (Later phases may add genuinely separate containers — a
tileserver, a local LLM — see docs/PLAN.md's "Service topology"; those would get their own
compose file or Unraid templates when a phase actually needs one, not speculatively now.)
Build
From the repo root (the build context — the Dockerfile needs both apps/api and apps/web):
docker build -t velodrome .
Run
docker run -d \
--name velodrome \
-p 8080:8080 \
-v velodrome-data:/data \
-e VELODROME_PUBLIC_URL=https://bikes.example.com \
-e VELODROME_SECRET_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32) \
-e VELODROME_ENVIRONMENT=production \
velodrome
Put a TLS-terminating reverse proxy (whatever's already fronting other services on the host) in front of port 8080 — this container only ever serves plain HTTP itself.
GET http://<host>:8080/api/v1/healthz should return {"status": "ok"} once it's up.
Environment variables
All read by apps/api/velodrome/config.py (prefix VELODROME_) — the app and Alembic both read
the same values, there's no separate migration-time config anymore (docs/DECISIONS.md D15).
| Variable | Required | Default (baked into the image) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
VELODROME_DATABASE_URL |
No — don't override | sqlite+aiosqlite:////data/velodrome.db |
Fixed to the /data volume mount. Change the volume mapping, not this. |
VELODROME_PUBLIC_URL |
Yes | none | The externally-visible URL. Checked against Origin on cookie-authenticated mutations — get this wrong and every logged-in write silently 403s. |
VELODROME_SECRET_KEY |
Yes | insecure dev placeholder | openssl rand -hex 32. Not yet used for anything reachable (arrives with Bryton credential encryption in a later phase) — set a real value now anyway. |
VELODROME_ENVIRONMENT |
Yes | development |
development | test | production. Gates the session cookie's Secure flag — always production behind real HTTPS. |
VELODROME_SESSION_TTL_DAYS |
No | 90 |
Login session lifetime. |
VELODROME_SESSION_COOKIE_NAME |
No | vd_session |
Only matters if it collides with another app on the same domain. |
Volumes
| Path | Contents |
|---|---|
/data |
The SQLite database file. Will also hold the content-addressed blob store once Phase 1 builds ingestion. This is the only thing that needs backing up. |
Unraid
Import unraid-template.xml from the Docker tab's "Add Container" template picker — it exposes
the Port, Data path, and the env vars above as fillable web UI fields, matching the earlier
decision to keep configuration in Unraid's own UI rather than a .env file on disk. Every field
stays editable by hand afterward regardless of what the template pre-fills.
Publishing the image
.gitea/workflows/release.yml builds this Dockerfile and pushes it to the Gitea container
registry at registry.bbergle.com:9537/bbergle/bike-app on a v* tag push, or on manual
workflow_dispatch. Not 192.168.0.3:3000 (Gitea's own plain-HTTP address) directly — Docker
refuses any non-localhost registry over plain HTTP by default, so registry.bbergle.com:9537 is
an NPMplus proxy host in front of Gitea's registry that terminates TLS with a self-signed cert.
See docs/DECISIONS.md D17 for the full setup (cert, NPMplus proxy host, certs.d trust, and the
buildx driver change this required) — none of it is committed here, since it's host-local trust
material and NPMplus config, not something this repo can or should own.
It does not SSH into the host and recreate the running container — rolling out a new image on Unraid (pulling it and clicking "Apply" on the container, or via Unraid's own update-checking) is left as a manual/Unraid-side step, not something CI does unattended.
What's not here yet
Backups (docs/PLAN.md calls for a systemd timer running restic against /data, independent of
CI) and the import_inbox USB-watch bind mount are both Phase 1+ concerns — nothing in the schema
uses them yet.
