01a8fecfixed 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 from01a8fecare 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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# DriverVault — Docker (multi-container stack)
|
|
|
|
Three containers — **PocketBase**, **API Server**, **Web App** — on one compose
|
|
network. This is the deployment to use unless you specifically want everything
|
|
in a single image; for that see [`../Docker-AIO`](../Docker-AIO).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Browser ─► Web App BFF (:8090) ──/api/*──► API Server (:8080) ─► PocketBase (:8070)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Only the Web App port is meant to be public. The API Server and the PocketBase
|
|
admin UI are published for convenience and, in the prod file, bound to
|
|
`127.0.0.1` by default.
|
|
|
|
| File | Use |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `docker-compose.yml` | **builds from source** in this repo — for development and local testing |
|
|
| `docker-compose.prod.yml` | **pulls prebuilt images** from the registry — for deployment |
|
|
| `.env.example` / `.env.prod.example` | copy to `.env` for the matching compose file |
|
|
| `pocketbase/` | the PocketBase image (official release binary on alpine) |
|
|
|
|
## Run it
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd Docker
|
|
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/_/`.
|
|
|
|
## First boot
|
|
|
|
Both steps are idempotent, so restarts and upgrades are safe:
|
|
|
|
1. **PocketBase** upserts its superuser from `PB_ADMIN_EMAIL` / `PB_ADMIN_PASSWORD`.
|
|
This is the only way to create the first superuser — the REST API cannot
|
|
bootstrap it. The API Server then authenticates with the same credentials.
|
|
2. **The API Server** creates any missing collections and reconciles existing
|
|
ones, then creates the first app `superadmin` from
|
|
`DRIVERVAULT_SUPERADMIN_EMAIL` / `_PASSWORD` if no such user exists.
|
|
|
|
> 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.
|
|
|
|
No manual `setup-pocketbase.mjs` step is needed here — the server runs the same
|
|
schema reconcile itself.
|
|
|
|
## Volumes
|
|
|
|
| Volume | Holds |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `pb_data` | the PocketBase SQLite database and uploaded files |
|
|
| `api_data` | the `.env` the API Server panel rewrites when a superadmin retargets the PocketBase connection (plugin settings live in `pb_data`, with everything else) |
|
|
|
|
Both default to Docker-managed named volumes. In the prod file, set `PB_DATA` /
|
|
`API_DATA` to absolute host paths for bind mounts instead.
|
|
|
|
> The API Server serves as the unprivileged `app` user, so `/data` has to be
|
|
> writable by it. Its entrypoint arranges that itself: it starts as root, takes
|
|
> ownership of `/data` if `app` does not already hold it, then drops privileges.
|
|
> So a **bind mount** to a root-owned host path needs no manual `chown`, and
|
|
> neither does a **named volume** left over from an image that ran as root. The
|
|
> one case it cannot fix is a container forced to another user (`user:` in
|
|
> compose, `docker run --user`), where the entrypoint has no privileges to
|
|
> `chown` with — prepare the host directory yourself there. PocketBase runs as
|
|
> root, so `PB_DATA` is unaffected either way.
|
|
|
|
Plugin enable-state and global config used to live in a `plugins.json` on this
|
|
volume, which made them the one piece of configuration a lost volume could erase
|
|
without anyone noticing. They are now in PocketBase, backed up with `pb_data`
|
|
like everything else. An existing `plugins.json` is imported automatically on the
|
|
first boot after the upgrade and renamed to `plugins.json.migrated`; keep the
|
|
volume mounted for that boot.
|
|
|
|
## Charger control (OCPP)
|
|
|
|
Chargers in own/proxy mode dial in to `/ocpp/{serial}` **on the API Server
|
|
port**, authenticating with a per-charger control token in an OCPP Basic-auth
|
|
header. A plaintext `ws://` would put that token on the wire in the clear, so
|
|
`OCPP_REQUIRE_TLS` defaults to `true` and non-TLS connections are rejected.
|
|
|
|
This stack serves plain HTTP, so to actually use charger control you need to
|
|
terminate TLS in a reverse proxy in front of it and set `OCPP_PUBLIC_URL` to the
|
|
public `wss://` base (behind a proxy, deriving it from request headers is
|
|
unreliable). `OCPP_REQUIRE_TLS=false` is for trusted networks only. You will
|
|
also need `API_BIND` set so the proxy can reach the port.
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- `docker-compose.yml` builds the API Server and Web App from `../API Server`
|
|
and `../Web App`, so run it from this directory with the repo checked out.
|
|
- The Web App's Vue bundle is built with an empty `VITE_API_BASE`, so the
|
|
browser uses same-origin `/api` and the BFF proxies it — no CORS in play.
|
|
- `CORS_ALLOW_ORIGINS` therefore only matters if a browser calls the API Server
|
|
directly. Native mobile apps are not subject to CORS at all.
