Staging still builds on the application VPS and bakes in the temporary hostname. Allow the manual container workflow on staging with its own branch-restricted GitHub environment and validate its final URL, app environment and Clerk key before publishing. Add CI coverage for those checks and document the backup, approval and migration gates before deployment.

Validation: eight focused configuration tests, actual staging configuration through the workflow CLI, type checking and 2,104 passing unit tests. Lint has 79 existing warnings and no errors. Image publishing does not deploy or change DNS.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Container images can now be built for both master and staging, with settings selected for each branch. The workflow publishes an image without deploying it or applying database migrations.
  • Documentation
    • Updated self-hosting and container-image guides with build and deployment steps, including immutable image digests, pull credentials, and migration and backup checks before deployment. Also clarified that existing Vercel deployments remain in place until retirement is approved.

Walkthrough

The container-image workflow now supports master and staging with matching GitHub environments. A Python script validates public build settings. Documentation describes image publishing, migration checks, and deployment through Coolify.

Changes

Container image build and deployment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Build configuration validation
scripts/container_build_config.py, scripts/container_build_config_test.py, .github/workflows/ci.yml
The script validates Dockerfile-declared public arguments, branch-specific values, and input safety. Tests cover valid configurations and rejected values. CI runs the test suite.
Branch-aware image build
.github/workflows/container-image.yml
The workflow runs on master and staging, selects the matching GitHub environment, and uses the script to validate public build settings. The build step label is now “Build application image.”
Image deployment procedure
docs/container-image.md, docs/SELF_HOSTING.md
The documentation describes runner-side Prisma generation, migration checks, immutable image deployment through Coolify, runtime settings, and deployment verification. It states that image publication does not deploy the image or apply hosted migrations.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to db7d4

The workflow validates branch-specific public settings before publishing, and the deployment guidance covers registry access, immutable images, and migration gates. No concrete merge-blocking risk is evident.

P1 Badge Apply schema migrations before deploying the app image

When the selected commit contains a Prisma migration, this runbook sends the operator directly from publishing to deploying the app digest, but the workflow applies migrations only to its disposable runner database and the runtime image starts node server.js without migrating the deployment database. docs/SELF_HOSTING.md explicitly requires running the same-commit migrator target before the app image, so following these new instructions can start application code against an outdated schema; publish a corresponding migrator image or require that migration step here before deployment.

  • The version-setting instruction in docs/SELF_HOSTING.md appears redundant because the Docker build already sets APP_VERSION. Remove it or clarify when it applies.
