redefined-designs/docker-compose.qa.yml

# QA stack — a disposable copy of the app for reviewing merged-but-undeployed
# changes online. See issue #25.
#
# Deployed as its own Portainer stack, separate from production. Every value
# that could collide with production has been changed: container names, host
# port, volume paths, database name, and image tag. Do not copy a path or port
# back from the production stack — a shared Postgres data directory would mean
# QA writing into production's database files.
#
# Name the Portainer stack `redefined-designs-qa`, NOT `redefined-designs`.
# The stack name becomes the compose project name. Reusing production's name
# would make compose treat this as the same project and reconcile the two
# against each other — it would happily remove the production containers
# because they are not declared in this file.
#
# DEPLOY THIS AS A GIT REPOSITORY STACK, not from the web editor.
#
#   Repository:   https://gitea.bermudalamb.synology.me/bermudalamb/redefined-designs
#   Reference:    refs/heads/main
#   Compose path: docker-compose.qa.yml
#
# The repository is public, so no credentials are needed. Portainer then does
# the whole cycle from one button: it pulls the repo, builds the image from the
# Dockerfile below, and recreates the containers. Nothing is built by hand on
# the NAS, and no image has to be pushed anywhere first.
#
# `pull_policy: build` matters. Without it the stack reuses whatever is already
# tagged redefined-designs:qa, which is how a redeploy can appear to succeed
# while still running old code. Leave any Portainer option that re-pulls images
# turned OFF — there is no registry to pull this image from.
#
# Required stack environment variables:
#   QA_DB_PASSWORD  — deliberately not named DB_PASSWORD, so pasting the
#                     production stack's variables here does nothing silently.
#   PUBLIC_URL      — the QA hostname, e.g.
#                     https://qa-redefined-designs.bermudalamb.synology.me
#   QA_SMTP_USER    — Brevo SMTP login. Named QA_ for the same reason as the
#   QA_SMTP_PASSWORD  database password: pasting production's variables in here
#   QA_SMTP_FROM      must not silently work.
