tajniak81andClaude Opus 5 660af5736a Plugins: create the settings collection instead of waiting for it forever
01a8fec fixed the advice that led operators into this, but advice is not a
guard: a stack still running PB_BOOTSTRAP=false gets no app_settings
collection on upgrade, and the plugin panel sits at 503 while the retry
loop reads a collection that does not exist.

The fix is not to soften the reading. A missing collection stays "not
ready" rather than "no plugins configured", because the alternative lets
the first save write a fresh document over settings the server merely
failed to find - the failure this whole line of work exists to prevent.
Instead the server now fixes the cause: on a missing collection it creates
that collection and reads again.

Three pieces:

bootstrap.EnsureCollection creates one named collection from the desired
schema if absent, and nothing else. Deliberately narrower than Run - no
field reconcile elsewhere, no super-admin - so it is safe to call on a
deployment that turned the full bootstrap off. It creates the collection
the server cannot start without, not the schema the operator declined.

The store tells a missing collection apart from an outage. A 404 from a
list means the collection itself is gone: an existing but empty one answers
200 with no items. That is tagged errNoCollection, which wraps errNotReady
so every write is still refused, and IsMissingCollection narrows it. The
distinction matters because the remedies are opposites - creating
collections against a flaky database is exactly the wrong reflex, and a
test pins that an outage does not trigger it.

loadPlugins acts on the tag once, then re-reads. Failing to create is
reported as the original read error rather than the repair's, so the log
names the real problem.

Six tests: the tag and its negative in internal/plugins, and three in
internal/api against a fake PocketBase covering the collection being
created exactly once, an existing collection not being recreated, and an
outage creating nothing.

Docs from 01a8fec are corrected in the same pass - they said the panel
would answer 503 forever, which is no longer true. They now say what still
depends on the bootstrap (every other collection and field) and what does
not (app_settings alone).

go build, go vet and go test ./... pass; compose files still parse. Not
verified: no Docker CLI here, so the repair has not been exercised against
a real PocketBase, only the fake.

# 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`](../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
```bash
cd "Docker-AIO"
cp .env.example .env # then edit — PB_ADMIN_* have no safe defaults
docker compose up -d --build
```
Production, from the registry:
```bash
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/`:
```bash
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:
1. PocketBase upserts its superuser from `PB_ADMIN_EMAIL` / `PB_ADMIN_PASSWORD`.
2. 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 |
| `/data` | the `.env` the API Server panel rewrites when a superadmin retargets the PocketBase connection (plugin settings live in `/pb/pb_data`, with everything else) |
Both default to Docker-managed named volumes; set `PB_DATA` / `API_DATA` to
absolute host paths in the prod file for bind mounts.
## 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.
