# Or use Makefile
make docker-deploy
```

## 🛠️ Technical Architecture

### Multi-Stage Dockerfile

**Stage 1: Builder**
- Based on `golang:1.23-alpine`
- Installs build dependencies (gcc, musl-dev, sqlite-dev)
- Downloads Go modules for better caching
- Installs and runs `templ` for template generation
- Builds static binary with CGO support

**Stage 2: Runtime**
- Based on `alpine:3.18` (minimal attack surface)
- Installs only runtime dependencies
- Creates non-root user (security)
- Copies binary and assets
- Sets up proper permissions
- Configures health checks

### Key Features Implemented

#### Security Hardening
- ✅ Non-root user execution (`USER 1001`)
- ✅ Minimal runtime dependencies
- ✅ Package cache cleanup
- ✅ Static binary compilation
- ✅ Health check monitoring
- ✅ Proper file permissions
- ✅ Volume isolation

#### Performance Optimization
- ✅ Multi-stage build (smaller final image)
- ✅ Layer caching optimization
- ✅ `.dockerignore` for faster builds
- ✅ Dependency caching
- ✅ Static binary for faster startup

#### Production Readiness
- ✅ Health checks with retries
- ✅ Graceful shutdown handling
- ✅ Resource limits support
- ✅ Log management
- ✅ Data persistence volumes
- ✅ Configuration externalization

## ⚙️ Configuration Integration

### Viper Configuration Support

The Docker implementation fully integrates with the existing Viper configuration system:

```yaml
# docker-compose.yml
services:
  tankstopp:
    environment:
      # Direct environment variable override
      - TANKSTOPP_SERVER_PORT=8080
      - TANKSTOPP_DATABASE_PATH=/app/data/fuel_stops.db
      - TANKSTOPP_APP_ENVIRONMENT=production
    volumes:
      # Configuration file mounting
      - ./config.production.yaml:/app/config.yaml:ro
```

### Environment-Specific Configurations

| Environment | Configuration | Usage |
|-------------|--------------|-------|
| Development | `config.development.yaml` | Local development with debug enabled |
| Production | `config.production.yaml` | Optimized for production deployment |
| Custom | User-provided config | Mounted as volume |

```

## 🔒 Security Implementation

### Container Security

1. **Non-root Execution**
   ```dockerfile
   USER tankstopp  # UID 1001
   ```

2. **Minimal Attack Surface**
   - Alpine Linux base (minimal packages)
   - No unnecessary tools or libraries
   - Static binary compilation

3. **File System Security**
   ```dockerfile
   # Proper ownership and permissions
   RUN chown -R tankstopp:tankstopp /app
   ```

4. **Runtime Security**
   ```bash
   # Security options in docker-compose
   cap_drop:
     - ALL
   cap_add:
     - NET_BIND_SERVICE
   ```

### Secrets Management

```yaml
# Environment variables for sensitive data
environment:
  - TANKSTOPP_DATABASE_PATH=/app/data/fuel_stops.db
  
# Configuration files mounted as read-only
volumes:
  - ./config.production.yaml:/app/config.yaml:ro
```

## 📈 Monitoring and Health Checks

### Built-in Health Checks

```dockerfile
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=3s --start-period=5s --retries=3 \
    CMD wget --no-verbose --tries=1 --spider http://localhost:8080/ || exit 1
```

### Deployment Monitoring

```bash
# Check deployment status
./scripts/docker/deploy.sh status

# View real-time logs
./scripts/docker/deploy.sh logs

# Monitor resource usage
docker stats tankstopp
```

### Log Management

```yaml
# Structured logging configuration
logging:
  driver: "json-file"
  options:
    max-size: "50m"
    max-file: "3"
```

## 🔄 Backup and Recovery

### Automated Backup

```bash
# Create backup
./scripts/docker/deploy.sh backup

# Scheduled backup with compose
services:
  backup:
    profiles: [backup]
    # Runs SQLite backup with retention
```

### Disaster Recovery

```bash
# Stop services
./scripts/docker/deploy.sh stop

# Restore from backup
./scripts/docker/deploy.sh restore

# Start services
./scripts/docker/deploy.sh start
```

## 🧪 Testing and Validation

### Dockerfile Validation

```bash
# Validate Dockerfile best practices
./scripts/docker/validate.sh

# Results include:
# ✅ Multi-stage build
# ✅ Security practices
# ✅ Layer optimization
# ✅ Required files check
```

### Health Check Testing

```bash
# Manual health check
curl -f http://localhost:8080/ || echo "Health check failed"

# Container health status
docker inspect --format='{{.State.Health.Status}}' tankstopp
```

## 🔧 Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

#### Container Won't Start
```bash
# Check logs
docker logs tankstopp --tail 50

# Verify configuration
docker run --rm tankstopp:latest cat /app/config.yaml

# Test with minimal config
docker run --rm -it tankstopp:latest sh
```

#### Database Issues
```bash
# Check database file permissions
docker exec tankstopp ls -la /app/data/

# Test database connectivity
docker exec tankstopp sqlite3 /app/data/fuel_stops.db ".tables"
```

#### Network Connectivity
```bash
# Test internal connectivity
docker exec tankstopp wget -qO- http://localhost:8080/

# Check external API access
docker exec tankstopp wget -qO- https://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter
```

### Debug Mode

```bash
# Run with debug enabled
docker run -d --name tankstopp-debug \
  -e TANKSTOPP_APP_DEBUG=true \
  -e TANKSTOPP_LOGGING_LEVEL=debug \
  tankstopp:latest

# Interactive debugging
docker run --rm -it tankstopp:latest sh
```
