# Paper Dynasty Database API — Deployment Guide
## Overview
The Database API (`cal/paper-dynasty-database`) uses a tag-driven CI/CD pipeline via Gitea Actions. Pushing a git tag triggers a Docker image build and push to Docker Hub. There are two deployment tracks:
| Track | Git Tag | Docker Tags | Environment | URL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Production** | CalVer (e.g., `2026.3.6`) | `:2026.3.6` + `:production` | Prod | `pd.manticorum.com` |
| **Dev** | `dev` (force-updated) | `:dev` | Dev | `pddev.manticorum.com` |
## Release Commands
### Dev Deploy
```bash
# Via release script (preferred)
bash /mnt/NV2/Development/paper-dynasty/.claude/skills/release/release.sh database dev
# Manual
cd /mnt/NV2/Development/paper-dynasty/database
git checkout main && git pull --ff-only origin main
git tag -f dev && git push origin dev --force
```
The `dev` tag is **force-updated** every time — it always points to the latest commit you want to test. This is safe because the dev environment is not customer-facing.
### Production Deploy
```bash
# Auto-increment version (preferred)
bash /mnt/NV2/Development/paper-dynasty/.claude/skills/release/release.sh database
# Explicit version
bash /mnt/NV2/Development/paper-dynasty/.claude/skills/release/release.sh database 2026.3.7
```
CalVer format: `YYYY.M.BUILD` (e.g., `2026.3.6`). The script auto-increments BUILD if omitted.
## CI/CD Pipeline
**Workflow file:** `.gitea/workflows/build.yml`
**Trigger:** Push of tags matching `20*` (CalVer) or `dev`
**Steps:**
1. Checkout code with full history
2. Set up Docker Buildx with layer caching
3. Login to Docker Hub (`manticorum67`)
4. Build and push image with appropriate tags
5. Rotate build cache
6. Send Discord notification (success/failure)
**Docker image:** `manticorum67/paper-dynasty-database`
**Build cache:** Persistent volume `pd-buildx-cache` on the Gitea runner — significantly speeds up rebuilds since only changed layers are rebuilt.
## Post-Build: Pulling the New Image
CI builds and pushes the image, but **does not auto-deploy**. You must pull and restart the container on the target host.
### Dev Environment
```bash
ssh pd-database "cd /home/cal/container-data/dev-pd-database && docker compose pull && docker compose up -d"
```
- Host: `pd-database` (SSH alias)
- Container data: `/home/cal/container-data/dev-pd-database/`
- Container: `dev_pd_database`
- Port: 813 (mapped to internal 8000)
- URL: `pddev.manticorum.com`
### Production Environment
```bash
ssh akamai "cd /root/container-data/paper-dynasty && docker compose pull && docker compose up -d"
```
- Host: `akamai` (SSH alias)
- Container: `pd_api`
- Port: 815 (mapped to internal 8000)
- URL: `pd.manticorum.com`
## Verification
### Quick Curl Test
```bash
# Dev
curl -s https://pddev.manticorum.com/api/v2/awards?limit=2 | python3 -m json.tool
# Prod
curl -s https://pd.manticorum.com/api/v2/awards?limit=2 | python3 -m json.tool
```
### Smoke Test
Use the `/smoke-test` skill:
```
/smoke-test dev
/smoke-test prod
```
### Check Running Version
```bash
# Dev — check container image digest
ssh pd-database "docker inspect dev_pd_database --format '{{.Image}}'"
# Prod
ssh akamai "docker inspect pd_api --format '{{.Image}}'"
```
## Rollback
### Dev
Just re-tag `dev` to a known-good commit and force-push:
```bash
git tag -f dev <good-commit-sha>
git push origin dev --force
# Then pull on dev host
ssh pd-database "cd /home/cal/container-data/paper-dynasty-database && docker compose pull && docker compose up -d"
```
### Production
Production images are tagged with both the CalVer version and `:production`. To roll back:
```bash
# On the prod host, pull a specific older version
ssh akamai "docker pull manticorum67/paper-dynasty-database:2026.3.5"
# Update compose to pin to that version, or just retag
ssh akamai "cd /root/container-data/paper-dynasty && docker compose up -d"
```
## Common Gotchas
### CalVer tag does NOT deploy to dev
CalVer tags (e.g., `2026.3.6`) only build `:version` + `:production` Docker tags. The dev environment pulls `:dev`. You **must** push the `dev` git tag separately to deploy to dev.
### CI build takes ~2-3 minutes
After pushing a tag, wait for CI to complete before pulling on the host. Check the Gitea Actions tab or wait for the Discord notification.
### "dev" tag requires force-push
Since `dev` is reused, you must use `git tag -f dev` and `git push origin dev --force`. The release script handles this automatically.
### Branch protection doesn't affect tags
Tags can be pushed by anyone with write access — no PR or review required. The review happens before merging to `main`; tagging is the release step.
### scout_opportunities.py was base64-encoded
As of 2026-03-24, this file was stored as raw base64 in git. The `total-count-pagination` branch rewrote it to proper Python source. If you see base64 content in this file on older branches, that's expected — it's a legacy artifact.
### Multiple PRs merging concurrently causes rebase races
When merging many PRs at once (e.g., batch pagination PRs), branch protection rules (`block_on_outdated_branch` + `dismiss_stale_approvals`) cause a merge storm. Each rebase invalidates the approval, requiring re-approve + re-merge. pd-ops agents handle this automatically but may take several attempts.
