tajniak81andClaude Opus 5 ee4ac441be Plugins: drop the plugins.json migration, and the volume it needed

The project has no public installs, so there is nothing to migrate from.
MigrateLegacyFile, the file-backed Store it read through, PLUGINS_FILE and
the legacy path threaded through the Server all go. What is left is one
store, PocketBase, and a plugins package that touches no filesystem at all.

That was the last thing keeping api_data alive, so the volume goes too. All
four compose files now declare exactly one volume, pb_data, and the
standalone API Server compose declares none - it talks to an external
PocketBase and has nothing of its own to keep. Backing up the stack is
backing up one path again.

Both images get simpler for it. The API Server image loses VOLUME /data and
the su-exec entrypoint that existed only to fix a mounted volume's
ownership, so it goes back to a plain USER app; its working directory is
now /app and holds nothing. The AIO image loses its second volume and
chowns only /pb/pb_data.

One consequence worth stating plainly, because it is a small regression
rather than a no-op. The panel's Settings -> PocketBase and Settings -> Web
App screens write .env in the working directory, which is now ephemeral. In
the multi-container stack that changes nothing: compose sets all five of
those keys as container environment, and loadDotEnv only applies a key that
is not already set, so the file could never win a restart there anyway. In
the AIO image it did win for POCKETBASE_ADMIN_EMAIL/_PASSWORD, which are
not in that container's environment - so a service account fixed from the
panel now lasts only until the container is recreated. Both READMEs say so.
Moving those two screens into the app_settings singleton would close it
properly; the PocketBase URL and credentials cannot follow, since they are
how the database is reached in the first place.

go build, go vet and go test ./... pass; the compose files parse and each
resolves to a single pb_data volume. Not verified: no Docker CLI here, so
neither image was built.

DriverVault — Docker AIO (all-in-one image)

PocketBase + API Server + Web App in a single container, supervised by supervisord with nginx serving the SPA and proxying /api/ to the API Server on localhost. One image, one volume set, no compose network — the simplest way to stand DriverVault up on a single host.

Prefer the three-container stack in ../Docker when you want to scale, upgrade or restart the pieces independently.

:80   nginx ─► SPA, and /api/ ─► API Server on 127.0.0.1:8080 ─► PocketBase on :8070

File	Use
`Dockerfile`	the all-in-one image (build context must be the repo root)
`docker-compose.yml`	builds from source — for development and local testing
`docker-compose.prod.yml`	pulls the prebuilt image from the registry
`.env.example` / `.env.prod.example`	copy to `.env` for the matching compose file

Run it

cd "Docker-AIO"
cp .env.example .env        # then edit — PB_ADMIN_* have no safe defaults
docker compose up -d --build

Production, from the registry:

cp .env.prod.example .env   # then edit
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml pull
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

Then: web app on http://host:8090/, the API Server's superadmin panel on http://host:8080/, PocketBase admin on http://host:8070/_/.

Note the port mapping: inside the container the web app is on 80, published as WEB_PORT (8090 by default) to line up with the other deployment.

Building by hand

The build context must be the repo root so the Dockerfile can reach both API Server/ and Web App/:

docker build -f "Docker-AIO/Dockerfile" -t drivervault-aio .

Build args: VITE_API_BASE (leave empty so the bundle uses same-origin /api) and PB_VERSION, which the Dockerfile already pins. Override it to build a different PocketBase; set it to an empty string to resolve the latest release at build time instead.

First boot

Identical to the multi-container stack, and idempotent:

PocketBase upserts its superuser from PB_ADMIN_EMAIL / PB_ADMIN_PASSWORD.
The API Server waits for PocketBase to report healthy, then creates any missing collections, reconciles existing ones, and creates the first app superadmin from DRIVERVAULT_SUPERADMIN_EMAIL / _PASSWORD.

Leave PB_BOOTSTRAP at true, including across upgrades. A release can add collections or fields the server needs, and a stack that skipped the bootstrap never gets them. The API Server self-heals exactly one thing — app_settings, the collection holding the plugin settings, which it creates on demand because it cannot serve the plugin panel without it. Every other schema change still depends on this flag, so turn it off only for a database you know already matches the release you are running.

Volumes

Volume	Holds
`/pb/pb_data`	the PocketBase SQLite database and uploaded files — everything that persists

One volume, because the API Server keeps no state on disk. Plugin enable-state and global config live in the database like the rest of the settings, so backing up this one path backs up the whole image. It defaults to a Docker-managed named volume; set PB_DATA to an absolute host path in the prod file for a bind mount.

One thing does not persist: the API Server panel's Settings → PocketBase and Settings → Web App screens apply immediately but only for the life of the container. Set the corresponding environment variables to change them permanently.

Charger control (OCPP)

Chargers in own/proxy mode dial in to /ocpp/{serial} on the API Server port (8080) — not through nginx — authenticating with a per-charger control token in an OCPP Basic-auth header. Because a plaintext ws:// would expose that token, OCPP_REQUIRE_TLS defaults to true.

This image serves plain HTTP, so charger control needs TLS terminated in front of it, with OCPP_PUBLIC_URL set to the public wss:// base. Only drop OCPP_REQUIRE_TLS on a trusted network.

Caveats

PocketBase and the API Server run as the unprivileged app user; only nginx stays root, because it binds port 80. A crash of supervisord still takes all three services down together — that is the trade for the simplicity.
Logs from all three processes are interleaved on the container's stdout/stderr (docker logs drivervault-aio).
PB_VERSION is pinned in the Dockerfile so two builds of the same source agree. Setting it to an empty string restores the old behaviour of resolving the latest release at build time, which also costs an unauthenticated GitHub API call and is subject to that 60/hour per-IP rate limit.
The container reports health once all three processes answer their probes, so a wedged component shows up in docker ps rather than looking up.
