Luca 0874a30ac9 feat(docker): all-in-one image (#1042) — my version of #1067 (#1068)
* feat(docker): add all-in-one image — backend + frontend in one container (#1042)

One container, one Node process, SQLite by default: `docker run` with no
compose file, no nginx, no supervisor, no bundled Postgres/Redis.

- Dockerfile.aio (repo-root context): frontend build stage + backend deps
  stage + a runtime stage mirroring backend/Dockerfile's production stage,
  with the built SPA copied to /app/frontend/dist and SERVE_FRONTEND=true.
  DATABASE_CLIENT=sqlite3 and STORAGE_PATH=/app/storage are pinned
  explicitly — the storage fallback resolves to container-root /storage,
  which EACCESes after the su-exec drop.
- server.js: the SERVE_FRONTEND block now does what the nginx image did —
  renders ${BRAND_TITLE}/${BRAND_DESCRIPTION} into index.html once at boot,
  serves that rendered shell on /index.html and every SPA route, caches
  hashed /assets/* immutably while the shell revalidates, and gzips the
  bundle via compression() mounted after all /api routers. express.static
  now runs with index:false so `/` keeps flowing to handlePublicSiteRequest
  — its default index option was shadowing the landing page on native
  installs.
- wait-for-db.sh: skip the Postgres readiness wait when DATABASE_CLIENT is
  sqlite3. The engine resolver still runs, still logs, and still refuses
  the populated-both conflict (#1038).
- .dockerignore: **/node_modules, so the root-context build can't pick up
  host deps from backend/ or frontend/.
- docker-build.yml: build-aio / merge-aio follow the same per-arch build →
  digest-merge → per-version tag scheme as backend/frontend (GHCR only for
  now; the Docker Hub mirror is wired once the Hub repo exists), plus a
  smoke-aio job that boots the image on every PR and asserts /health, the
  SPA shell, the rendered brand title, immutable asset caching and the
  SQLite engine resolution.

Pointing DB_HOST/DB_USER/DB_PASSWORD + DATABASE_CLIENT=pg at an external
Postgres works exactly like the backend image.

* fix(ci): correct three smoke-aio assertions that would fail a green image (#1042)

Found by running the smoke job locally against a real build — the image
passed every behavioral check, but three assertions were wrong:

- `/` asserts 200, but handlePublicSiteRequest 302s to /admin/login while
  the public landing site is disabled, which is the state of the fresh
  install the smoke container always is. Assert the redirect target
  instead — that still proves express.static's index option is not
  shadowing the handler, which is the thing the check exists for.
- The placeholder-leak grep matched index.html's explanatory comment,
  which mentions BRAND_TITLE in prose and survives into the built shell.
  Match the literal ${BRAND_TITLE}/${BRAND_DESCRIPTION} tokens with -F,
  and cover the description token too.
- Add a gzip assertion, probing with GET: the compression middleware
  skips bodyless responses, so a HEAD probe reports no Content-Encoding
  even when compression is active.

Verified locally on linux/arm64: image builds clean, boots to healthy in
~8s on the SQLite default, and 25/25 checks pass (SPA shell, rendered
brand title, immutable+gzipped assets, no-store shell, SPA fallbacks,
npm removed, su-exec drop to nodejs, no errors in the boot log). The
DATABASE_CLIENT=pg override was exercised against a real Postgres too —
the readiness wait still runs and the engine resolves to postgres.

* fix(server): serve the SPA for every client route, not just /admin and /gallery (#1042)

nginx did `try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html`, so behind compose every
client-side route survived a direct hit or a refresh and the short
`['/admin', '/admin/*', '/gallery/*']` list was never exercised. Without
nginx that list is the whole contract, and everything outside it 404'd:

  /setup  /customer  /impressum  /datenschutz  /payment-check
  /quote/:token  /contract/:token  /invite/:token
  /transfer/:token  /transfer-upload/:token

/setup is the first URL a new install visits, so the all-in-one image was
unusable from a cold start.

The catch-all is registered after `app.use('/api', notFoundHandler)`, so
an unknown /api route still answers JSON instead of being handed the HTML
shell, and after the /s/:shortSlug resolver, so a typo'd short URL still
404s (#699). It is GET-only — a stray POST keeps 404ing rather than
getting a 200 page back. The handler is hoisted out of the
SERVE_FRONTEND block via `spaCatchAll` because that block runs before the
API 404 handler is registered.

Verified on the built image: all ten routes above now 200, /api/nope still
returns JSON 404, /s/nonexistent still returns 404, / still 302s to
/admin/login, and the smoke suite is 25/25. Both boundaries are now
asserted in the smoke-aio job.

* docs(readme): document the single-container install (#1042)

The README had no mention of the all-in-one image, so the only way to
discover it was reading the workflow file. Adds a Quick Start subsection
with the one-line `docker run` and the `docker exec … cat SETUP_TOKEN`
step, plus a row in the documentation table.

Deliberately does not sell it as the default: the note says the compose
stack is still the right choice for anything busier, gives the reason
(SQLite takes one writer at a time), and points at the `.picpeak`
restore as the way out, so nobody picks it and then finds themselves
stuck. Full details live at docs.picpeak.app/deployment/single-container
(PicPeak/docs#8).

* feat(docker): fold #1067's items into the all-in-one image (#1042)

Consolidating the two parallel AIO branches into this one. This PR's approach
is kept wherever the two differed on design — in particular the in-process
brand render, `index: false` (which fixes express.static shadowing
handlePublicSiteRequest, a bug #1067 had), the compression middleware, and the
smoke-aio job. What follows is what #1067 had that this branch did not.

Layout — the issue asks for a single mountable root, and this moves to one:

  /data/db       picpeak.db (+ -wal/-shm) and SETUP_TOKEN
  /data/storage  originals, thumbnails, archives
  /data/logs     application logs
  /data/backup   built-in backup output; /backup symlinks here

`-v picpeak:/data` and nothing else to remember. README and the smoke job's
database-path assertion follow the new layout.

Correctness items:

- sqlite CLI. DatabaseBackupService SPAWNS `sqlite3` for `.backup` and
  PRAGMA integrity_check; the npm module does not ship that binary.
  backend/Dockerfile omits it because compose always runs Postgres — this
  image defaults to SQLite, so every database backup failed with ENOENT.
- /backup wired in. Migrations 029 + 030 seed /backup/picpeak and
  /backup/database as the backup destinations; nothing created or mounted them,
  so backups had nowhere to write and anything written would die with the
  container. Symlinked into the volume, subdirectories created at startup
  (a bind mount hides the tree baked into the image), and adopted only when
  BACKUP_DIR is set so it never gates boot for compose deployments that do not
  mount it.
- logger.js honours LOG_DIR. It hard-coded <backend>/logs, so logs could not
  leave the container. Unset keeps the old path for every existing install.
- wait-for-db.sh derives its writable roots from STORAGE_PATH / DATA_DIR /
  LOG_DIR instead of hard-coded /app paths, and mkdir -p's them before chown —
  a bind-mounted /data hides the image's tree, and chown against a missing path
  reports "the filesystem rejects chown", which is both wrong and a dead end.
- .dockerignore excludes backend/-prefixed runtime data. Docker reads only the
  root file, so the unprefixed data/*.db, logs/* and storage/* rules missed
  backend/data, backend/logs and backend/storage entirely; a checkout used to
  run PicPeak would bake its database, photos, logs and SETUP_TOKEN into a
  published layer.
- HEALTHCHECK follows $PORT rather than a hard-coded 3000.
- --max-http-header-size=32768 matches nginx's large_client_header_buffers
  4 32k; Node's 16 KiB default would reject a guest carrying several
  per-gallery JWT cookies.

docs/single-container.md is added as the in-repo reference the README links to.

The smoke job gains four assertions for the above: the one-volume layout and
writable backup destinations, the sqlite3 CLI, logs landing on the volume, and
the image carrying no runtime data from the build context.

Verified on a built image — named volume, bind mount and PORT=8080 all healthy;
every existing smoke assertion still passes, including / -> 302 /admin/login,
the rendered BRAND_TITLE, immutable assets, gzip and /s/<unknown> -> 404.

* fix(docker): restore the SPA-fallback exclusions and close the build-context leak (#1042)

Both found by external review of the consolidated branch.

- The SPA catch-all had no backend-owned exclusions. This was a regression I
  introduced while merging: #1067 carried a BACKEND_OWNED prefix list, and
  taking this branch's server.js wholesale (correctly — its index:false and
  in-process brand render are the better design) dropped it. /photos,
  /thumbnails, /uploads and /fonts are static mounts whose middleware calls
  next() on a miss, so the catch-all was answering 200 text/html under image
  and font URLs instead of 404. nginx gave each of those its own location
  block, so try_files never applied to them.

- backend/data is now excluded wholesale rather than by suffix. The suffix list
  (*.db, *.db-wal, *.db-shm, SETUP_TOKEN) let real secrets through: a used
  checkout carries ADMIN_CREDENTIALS.txt next to the database, plus -journal
  files and any DATABASE_PATH not ending in .db. Since Dockerfile.aio builds
  from the repository root and COPYs backend/ wholesale, any of those would be
  baked into a published layer. The directory holds only runtime state and is
  already gitignored in full.

smoke-aio gains an assertion that the backend static routes still 404, so the
exclusion cannot be dropped again silently.

Verified on a built image: /photos, /thumbnails, /fonts and /uploads misses all
404; /setup, /impressum, /gallery/x, /admin/login still 200; / still 302s to
/admin/login; /api/nope still answers JSON; /s/<unknown> still 404s; and the
image carries no *.db, ADMIN_CREDENTIALS.txt, logs or storage from the context.

* fix(aio): three failures that only surface outside a dev laptop (#1042)

Backups aborted on SQLite. getTableChecksums() built its digest with
`CAST(t.* AS TEXT)`, which is Postgres row-to-text syntax; SQLite parses
`*` there as a syntax error, so every backup threw before reaching the
.backup call. Since the all-in-one image ships SQLite by default, that is
every AIO install. Enumerate the columns via columnInfo() and sum their
lengths instead.

The shared /data mount root was never adopted. wait-for-db.sh chowned the
children it creates but not the mount point itself, so a host directory
arriving as 0700 with a foreign owner stayed untraversable by UID 1001
after the su-exec drop. Docker Desktop's permissive bind mounts hide this
completely, which is why local testing passed; a NAS share does not.
DATA_ROOT is now adopted first.

Maintenance mode locked the admin out of the box. The middleware runs at
server.js:493, long before the static block at 891, and exempted the auth
endpoints but not the page that calls them. With the backend serving the
frontend, /admin/login and /assets/* returned 503 JSON, so an admin who
enabled maintenance mode could never load the UI to turn it off. nginx
serves those paths in the compose stack, which is why it never surfaced
there. Guest and API surfaces stay gated.

Verified on a built image: checksums compute across all 95 tables; a bind
mount created 0700/4000:4000 boots healthy and ends up 1001:1001; with
general_maintenance_mode=true, /admin/login, /admin and /assets/* return
200 while /gallery/* and /api/gallery/* return 503 — and 503 across all
three once the exemption is removed again.

* fix(aio): stop leaking .env into the image, fix the broken checksum test (#1042)

The Jest suite was red: mocking db.raw is no longer enough now that the
SQLite checksum branch asks the query builder for its column list, so
db(table) came back undefined and getTableChecksums failed on every PR.
The production code is right; the fixture needed to know about the call.

backend/.env was landing in the published layer. The root ignore file's
`.env`, `.env.*` and `data/*.db` rules read as unanchored but Docker
matches them from the context root, so they catch ./.env and never
backend/.env — and `COPY backend/ .` then puts a real JWT_SECRET at
/app/.env. Matched at any depth instead, the way **/node_modules in the
same file already is. Confirmed by building from a checkout carrying a
planted secret: before, `cat /app/.env` printed it back.

Business documents wrote outside the volume. quoteService, invoice
sending/reminders and contract signatures build paths from
process.cwd()/storage and never read STORAGE_PATH; compose hides it by
setting STORAGE_PATH=/app/storage with WORKDIR /app so the two are the
same directory. Here they are not, and /app is root-owned, so a quote or
invoice PDF failed to write as UID 1001 — and would not survive the
container if it had. Symlinked /app/storage into the volume, matching
the /backup symlink beside it. Teaching those services STORAGE_PATH is
the real fix and wants its own change.

Two smaller ones: the mount root is now chowned shallow rather than
recursively, since every child below it is already walked recursively
and a NAS-sized photo library should not be traversed twice on each
restart; and /assets/ joins the backend-owned prefixes, so a stale
hashed chunk requested by a tab left open across an upgrade gets a 404
instead of index.html served with 200 under a .js URL.

Verified on a built image: planted backend/.env and backend/probe.db are
absent; /app/storage resolves to /data/storage and a business-doc write
as UID 1001 appears on the host; a 0700 bind mount owned by 4000:4000
boots healthy; a missing /assets chunk 404s while the real bundle still
serves 200 as application/javascript. The databaseBackup suite is green
again, and the branch adds no failing suite that origin/main does not
already fail on the same machine.

* test(aio): teach the leak assertion about the storage symlink (#1042)

The previous check listed /app/storage/events and treated a hit as a
leak. That was true while /app/storage was either absent or a copied
directory; now it is a symlink into the volume, so the check followed it
and found the empty tree the image itself creates — a false positive on
its own design.

Check the shape instead: /app/storage must be a symlink pointing at
/data/storage, and the volume's photo tree must contain no files on a
fresh install. A real directory there now fails loudly, which is the
condition the assertion was always trying to catch. Also extended the
path list to /app/.env and loose database files, matching the
.dockerignore rules added alongside.

* fix(aio): show the maintenance screen instead of raw JSON to guests (#1042)

The previous commit exempted the admin shell so an admin could still
reach the switch they had just flipped. Guests had the same problem for
the same reason: with no nginx in front, /gallery/<slug> reaches this
middleware long before the static block, so a visitor during maintenance
got a 503 JSON body where every other deployment shows the branded
maintenance screen the frontend already ships.

Replaced the two path-specific exemptions with the rule they were both
special cases of: a GET that is not an API call and not a backend-owned
content mount is the SPA shell, and the shell is inert HTML — it boots,
reads /api/public/settings (already exempt) and renders MaintenanceMode
on its own. Everything that carries real data stays gated: /api/*,
/photos/, /thumbnails/, /fonts/, and any non-GET.

Compose is untouched by construction, since nginx answers those paths
and they never arrive here.

Verified on a built image with the flag on: /gallery/x, /customer/x,
/admin and /admin/login return 200 text/html while /api/gallery/x/verify,
/photos/x.jpg and /thumbnails/x.jpg return 503 and a POST to a public API
still returns 503; with the flag off the same paths go back to 404. Added
a middleware test over that exemption matrix — over-exemption is the real
risk in this change, so it asserts the gated half too. It fails on five
cases without the fix.

* fix(aio): stop the shell exemption from un-gating /og and the public CMS (#1042)

The previous commit exempted "any GET that is not an API call". That
negative rule reads as safe and is not: /og/gallery/<slug> and its
/cover render the event name and the hero thumbnail, /s/<code> renders
short-link previews, and `/` is handed to the public CMS. All four are
proxy_passed to the backend by nginx, so they were gated before this PR
in every deployment — the rule un-gated them, and for compose too, not
just the new image. A site switched to maintenance would have kept
publishing gallery metadata.

Replaced the guess with the split nginx already defines: exempt what the
frontend container answers itself, gate what it proxies. That is the
same rule the all-in-one image needs by definition, since its whole job
is to be both halves of that stack, and it now matches compose in both
directions rather than only in the direction the last commit tested.

Verified on a built image with the flag on: /admin/login,
/gallery/<slug> and /customer/* return 200, while /, /og/gallery/x,
/og/gallery/x/cover, /s/abc, /robots.txt, /api/* and /photos/* return
503; with the flag off all of them behave normally again. The middleware
test grew the gated cases — it now covers 21, most of them asserting
what must NOT be exempt.

* fix(aio): give the image a FRONTEND_URL default so share links are absolute (#1042)

getFrontendBaseUrl() reads FRONTEND_URL, falls back to the
general_site_url setting, and otherwise returns an empty string — which
makes share_url come back as a bare "/gallery/<slug>/<token>". Compose
defaults the variable to http://localhost:3000, but the documented
one-liner for this image passes only JWT_SECRET, so every fresh
single-container install handed out relative links in API responses, QR
codes and emails.

Defaulted to the same value compose uses; -e FRONTEND_URL=https://...
overrides it, as does the site URL field in Settings.

Found by pointing tests/e2e/local at a running AIO container:
auth/06-api-tokens asserts share_url matches /^https?:\/\//, and it was
the one spec that failed for a product reason rather than a harness one.
It passes now, and the suite is 19/20 against the image — the remaining
failure is smoke/02-auth-flow, whose seed helper shells out to a
hard-coded `docker exec picpeak-backend`, so it cannot arrange its
precondition against any other container.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ra4hcsYiKuQLbbRsg6EjAc

* feat(aio): mark the image so face recognition stays off (#1042, #1074)

Face recognition needs a separate ML container this image does not contain,
and enabling it here would add a second image-processing pipeline competing
with Sharp for the CPU and memory of a container sized for one photographer
plus guests browsing. The failure mode would not be a clear error — just a
slow install that looks broken.

The backend gate for this lands in #1075 and keys on PICPEAK_SINGLE_CONTAINER.
Without this line the guard never triggers on an actual all-in-one build, so
the two changes have to arrive together: whichever merges second completes
the pair. Verified against this file's exact value — isFeatureEnabled()
returns false with it set.

An explicit marker rather than inferring from SERVE_FRONTEND or the SQLite
path, because legitimate multi-container deployments do both of those and
should keep the feature.

Also adds it to the Limits section of docs/single-container.md, next to the
SQLite and Redis constraints, since that is where someone will look before
choosing this image.

Paul Nothaft 6de30e5bf1 fix(docker): default NODE_ENV=production so non-compose deploys don't fall back to SQLite (#1038) (#1039)
* fix(docker): default NODE_ENV=production so non-compose deploys don't fall back to SQLite (#1038)

knexfile.js selects its config block by NODE_ENV and the `development` block
defaults to sqlite3. The image never set NODE_ENV, so every deployment that
doesn't go through our compose files — Kubernetes, Helm, plain `docker run` —
silently ran on SQLite and ignored DB_HOST/DB_USER/DB_PASSWORD.

It stayed invisible because wait-for-db.sh is shell: it reads DB_HOST directly,
connects to Postgres, creates the database and logs "PostgreSQL is up" in the
same container where the Node process then writes to a SQLite file. Migrations
go through src/database/db.js → the same knexfile, so they also ran against
SQLite, leaving the provisioned Postgres database empty.

Setting the default alone would be unsafe: an affected install would flip to
Postgres on its next image pull and come up against an EMPTY database, which
reads as total data loss. So this adds a guard that runs before migrations
touch anything:

  - logs the resolved engine + target at boot (nothing did before, which is
    why this went unnoticed for so long)
  - refuses to start when pointed at a virgin Postgres while a populated
    SQLite file exists, naming the file and the .picpeak export path for
    moving the data, with PICPEAK_ALLOW_EMPTY_PG=true as the escape hatch
  - warns but boots when Postgres settings are present yet SQLite is in use

Compose files already set NODE_ENV explicitly, so compose users are unaffected.

The engine-selection tests resolve knexfile in a child process with a clean
cwd — dotenv.config() would otherwise let a developer's backend/.env decide
the answer instead of the knexfile defaults under test. Fake credentials in
the describeEngine tests are built at runtime rather than written inline, so
secret scanners don't flag a literal after `password:`.

* fix(db): stay on SQLite instead of blocking, and add a migration path (#1038)

Reworks the guard from the previous commit after walking through what an
existing install actually experiences on its next image pull.

Blocking was the wrong trade. An operator who had unknowingly been running on
SQLite (because the image left NODE_ENV unset) would have pulled the fix and
got a CrashLoopBackOff: data safe, galleries offline, for something they did
not do. Now the boot RESOLVES the engine before migrations run and stays on
whichever one holds the data:

  - Postgres configured but holding no galleries, while a populated SQLite file
    exists → keep serving from SQLite, print what happened and how to migrate.
    Nothing moves until the operator decides.
  - once Postgres holds the data, the next restart switches over on its own.
  - an explicit DATABASE_CLIENT is always honoured.

The check is keyed on Postgres holding DATA, not on it having tables: a stray
`run-migrations` against the empty database creates every table, which would
otherwise blind the check and strand the operator on an empty install.

wait-for-db.sh resolves the engine and exports DATABASE_CLIENT before the
migration step, so the runner and the server always agree. Manual migration
runs (no entrypoint, no exported client) now refuse rather than build a schema
in the wrong database.

Adds scripts/migrate-sqlite-to-postgres.js for moving the data across. It
reuses the .picpeak export/import services rather than hand-rolling a
cross-engine copy — they already handle FK suspension, JSON columns and
Postgres sequence resync. Two things had to be added for the SQLite → Postgres
direction, both opt-in and CLI-only so the upload/restore UI is untouched:

  - `allowEngineSwitch` relaxes the importer's same-engine guard
  - cross-engine row coercion: SQLite has no real date or boolean types, so
    its rows carry epoch numbers where Postgres wants a timestamp and 0/1
    where it wants a boolean. Postgres rejects both outright
    ("date/time field value out of range: 1786548038763"). Coercion is driven
    by the TARGET schema, never guessed from the value.

Verified end to end against a real PostgreSQL 15: a seeded SQLite install
migrated across with booleans, timestamps and foreign keys intact, and the
serial sequences correctly advanced (the next INSERT got id 2, not a
primary-key collision). Photo files on disk are never touched and the SQLite
file is left in place as a rollback.

* fix(db): close four review findings on the SQLite fallback + migration (#1038)

External review (codex) found four issues, all confirmed against the code and
fixed here. Two of them could have cost data.

1. The engine resolver was reachable only through wait-for-db.sh. A Kubernetes
   manifest that sets `command`/`args`, or a plain `docker run … node
   server.js`, bypasses the entrypoint — exactly the deployment styles this fix
   targets. With NODE_ENV now baked into the image, such an install would have
   resolved to Postgres and come up against an empty database while its SQLite
   data sat there unseen. server.js now resolves the engine itself, before
   anything requires knexfile, via the same script the entrypoint uses.
   Verified by running `node server.js` directly against an install with
   stranded SQLite data: it logs the banner and serves SQLite.

2. Cross-engine loads double-encoded JSON. SQLite has no json type, so its json
   columns are TEXT holding JSON; the export dumps that as a string and
   serialiseJsonColumns stringified it again, storing `true` as the scalar
   string "true". app_settings.setting_value is json on every install, so this
   reshaped every migrated setting. The text is decoded before serialisation
   now — verified against a real Postgres: json_typeof(setting_value) is
   `boolean`, matching a native install exactly.

3. The migration could silently miss concurrent writes. If the backend keeps
   serving, rows written after the export never reach Postgres and vanish from
   view once the engine switches. The script now fingerprints the SQLite tables
   whose loss would be noticed, checks for drift BEFORE loading Postgres (so a
   detected race leaves the target untouched) and again after, and refuses with
   the exact rows that moved. It also says plainly to stop the backend first.

4. The child phases shared stdout with winston. Outside production, and
   whenever LOG_TO_CONSOLE=true, createPicpeak's own log line was concatenated
   with the archive path and the migration failed on a bogus filename. Payloads
   travel through a result file now; verified with LOG_TO_CONSOLE=true.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0168gubtwYYacJv8weAjy8DM

* fix(db): close review round 2 — six more data-safety findings (#1038)

1. The engine choice is now PINNED once the data is in Postgres. Previously the
   boot decided from "does Postgres hold galleries", so an operator who later
   deleted every gallery would be sent back to the stale pre-migration SQLite
   file while their settings, admins and CRM data stayed in Postgres. The
   migration writes a marker next to the database file (and retires the file
   itself by renaming it); the marker wins over any probe.

2. The migration refused to overwrite Postgres only when it held GALLERIES. A
   target with admins, customers, invoices or projects but no galleries was
   wiped without --force. Both the source and target checks now look for user
   data across the tables that are empty on a fresh install.

3. Same bug in the other direction: an install with no galleries but real
   admins/settings/customers was refused a migration it was entitled to.

4. Drift detection covered four tables and only count/max(id), so an in-place
   UPDATE (event edit, password change) or a write to any other table passed
   unnoticed. It now fingerprints every table the export carries, including
   max(updated_at). It still is not a substitute for stopping the backend, and
   the script says so rather than implying a guarantee.

5. probeSqliteData() treated an unreadable or corrupt file as "no data", which
   would have switched the install to an empty Postgres — the very failure this
   module exists to prevent. It fails closed now and stays on SQLite so the real
   error surfaces.

6. The "you are leaving SQLite data behind" warning was unreachable: setting
   DATABASE_CLIENT skipped the probes, so the branch that produces it never had
   the inputs. Postgres and SQLite are both probed whenever Postgres is the
   engine in play.

Also: the final verification compares row counts for EVERY table rather than
just galleries, and flags only a shortfall — the import legitimately adds an
app_settings row (setSessionsValidAfter) that made the strict equality fail on
a first real run.

Verified against a real PostgreSQL 15 end to end, including: the marker keeps
an install on Postgres after every gallery is deleted; removing the marker and
restoring the file rolls back to SQLite as documented.

* fix(db): close review round 3 — occupancy, bootstrap admin, secrets in /tmp (#1038)

1. Both engine probes judged occupancy by GALLERIES alone. An install whose
   galleries were all deleted, but which still has admins, customers or
   accounting records, was treated as empty: on the SQLite side that meant
   booting the empty Postgres and appearing to lose everything; on the Postgres
   side it meant diverting a live install to a stale SQLite file. Both now look
   across the tables that are empty on a fresh install, matching the migration
   script.

2. The migration ran migrate-schema BEFORE checking the target, and migration
   001 seeds a bootstrap admin when ADMIN_PASSWORD is set (common on legacy
   installs). The occupancy check then saw that admin and refused, pushing the
   operator towards --force against a genuinely empty database. The target is
   read first now.

3. probeSqliteData()'s warning went through the app logger, which writes to
   STDOUT when LOG_TO_CONSOLE=true — and the resolver's stdout is the protocol
   channel wait-for-db.sh captures, so DATABASE_CLIENT could have been set to a
   JSON log line. Diagnostics take an injected sink (stderr in the resolver),
   and the shell now validates the value it captured instead of trusting it.

4. The .picpeak archive holds password hashes, SMTP credentials and API keys in
   plaintext, and was only removed on the fully-successful path — any drift or
   import failure left it in /tmp. Every exit path removes it now.

5. A database-only migration still hauled every business-doc and upload through
   /tmp and back into the same volume. createPicpeak takes includeFiles:false
   for this path; rows move, files stay where they already are.

Verified against a real PostgreSQL 15: a gallery-less install with only an admin
account now stays on SQLite and migrates successfully with ADMIN_PASSWORD set;
the resolver emits exactly one token on stdout with LOG_TO_CONSOLE=true and a
corrupt database; a drift failure leaves Postgres untouched and no archive
behind.

* fix(db): pin the boot to SQLite while a migration is unfinished (#1038)

Review round 4. A migration that dies after touching Postgres leaves rows
behind — schema creation alone seeds a bootstrap admin when ADMIN_PASSWORD is
set, and a drift or row-count failure can leave a partial load. Since the
occupancy probes were widened in round 3, those rows read as "Postgres is
occupied", so the next restart would switch engines and hide the SQLite data
that is still the database of record.

The script now writes a pin file next to the database BEFORE its first Postgres
write and clears it only on success (after the success marker exists, so no
restart in between can pick the wrong engine). While the pin is present the
resolver stays on SQLite and explains why.

Verified against a real PostgreSQL 15 by reproducing the exact scenario: a
migration failed mid-run with ADMIN_PASSWORD set, leaving one bootstrap admin
in Postgres. With the pin the next boot resolves to sqlite3; with the pin
removed it resolves to pg — the failure this closes. The subsequent successful
re-run clears the pin and the boot moves to Postgres.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0168gubtwYYacJv8weAjy8DM

* fix(db): close review round 5 — occupancy, path drift, retry, host default (#1038)

1. A seeded bootstrap admin counted as "Postgres is occupied". core/001_init.js
   inserts one whenever ADMIN_PASSWORD is set, so a Postgres that was
   initialised once and never used would have beaten a SQLite file full of real
   galleries — the exact failure the guard exists to prevent, reintroduced by
   widening the probe in round 3. The two sides are deliberately asymmetric now:
   the SQLite probe counts any user data (err towards keeping data visible),
   the Postgres probe ignores rows that schema creation seeds (err towards
   requiring proof of real use).

2. The guard resolved DATABASE_PATH with its own logic while knexfile trimmed
   whitespace and collapsed the legacy duplicated-backend form. A path either
   engine normalised differently meant probing a file nobody uses, concluding
   there was no SQLite data, and booting an empty Postgres. The resolution now
   lives in one module both require.

3. Re-running after a partial migration — the documented recovery — was refused
   unless the operator passed the destructive-sounding --force, because the
   half-written rows read as target data. An unfinished run of this same script
   is now recognised as a safe retry.

4. wait-for-db.sh verified readiness against its own default host (`postgres`)
   while knexfile's production block defaults to `db`. With NODE_ENV now baked
   in, a bare `docker run` without DB_HOST would have passed the readiness check
   against one host and then dialled another. The entrypoint exports the exact
   connection it verified. Compose sets DB_HOST explicitly and is unaffected.

Verified: a Postgres holding only a seeded admin now loses to real SQLite data;
a DATABASE_PATH with surrounding whitespace resolves to the identical file in
both knexfile and the guard.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0168gubtwYYacJv8weAjy8DM

* fix(db): close review round 6 — explicit-client bypasses, retry scope, cleanup (#1038)

1. An explicit DATABASE_CLIENT bypassed the unfinished-migration pin, because
   decideBootEngine honoured it first. docker-compose sets DATABASE_CLIENT=pg,
   so a failed migration would have restarted on a half-written Postgres on
   exactly the deployments that pin it. Worse in the other direction: with
   DATABASE_CLIENT=sqlite3, a SUCCESSFUL migration renames the source file, so
   the next start created a NEW, empty SQLite database and served that. The pin
   now outranks explicit pg (clearing the marker is the override), explicit
   sqlite3 is left alone since it already points at the data, and the migration
   refuses up front when the deployment pins anything other than pg.

2. The retry allowance was bound to the SQLite file, not to the target. An
   operator who repointed DB_HOST/DB_NAME between attempts could have replaced
   an unrelated populated database without --force. The pin records the target
   and the allowance only applies when it matches.

3. The printed rollback did not roll back: with data on both sides and no
   marker, the resolver still selects Postgres. It now spells out all three
   steps, including DATABASE_CLIENT=sqlite3.

4. A failure inside createPicpeak left a partial archive — plaintext hashes and
   credentials — in the caller-supplied temp dir, which that service
   deliberately does not clean. The export phase removes it on error.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0168gubtwYYacJv8weAjy8DM

* fix(db): close review round 7 — pin bypass on direct start, real admins (#1038)

1. server.js only ran the engine resolver when DATABASE_CLIENT was unset, so a
   deployment that both bypasses the entrypoint (Kubernetes `command:`) AND
   pins DATABASE_CLIENT=pg never consulted the migration pin — the round-6 fix
   was unreachable on exactly that path, and a failed migration would have
   served a half-populated Postgres. The resolver now also runs whenever a pin
   file exists.

2. Round 5 excluded admin_users from Postgres occupancy to stop a seeded
   bootstrap admin counting as real data. That over-corrected: an install that
   has completed first-run setup but has no galleries yet has exactly one
   user-created row — an admin — so Postgres looked empty and, with a stale
   SQLite file present, the boot would switch away and the admin's credentials
   and configuration would disappear.

   core/001_init.js seeds must_change_password=true; setupService writes false
   once a human completes setup. The FLAG, not the table, distinguishes them,
   and a legacy NULL counts as a real admin.

Verified against a real PostgreSQL 15: a Postgres holding only the seeded row
loses to real SQLite data, the same Postgres wins once setup is completed, and
a server started directly with DATABASE_CLIENT=pg and a pin present comes up on
SQLite with the warning.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0168gubtwYYacJv8weAjy8DM

* fix(db): close review round 8 — reset admins, CLI config, JSON nulls (#1038)

1. must_change_password is mutable: resetAdminPassword() re-raises it on REAL
   accounts (userManagementService.js:474). Round 7's discriminator therefore
   read a gallery-less Postgres whose only admin had been reset as an untouched
   bootstrap seed — and with a stale SQLite file present, the boot would have
   switched away and hidden those live credentials. The rule is layered now:
   more than one admin, any admin that has logged in, or must_change_password
   false all count as use. Only core/001_init.js's exact leftovers — one admin,
   never logged in, still flagged — read as a seed.

2. The CLI read process.env directly but never loaded the configuration the
   child phases get through knexfile, so running it directly (or via
   `docker exec`, which does not inherit wait-for-db.sh's exports) failed the
   pre-flight checks even with valid settings in backend/.env or
   /run/secrets/db_password. Both sources are loaded up front now.

3. The migration's target check counted a seeded bootstrap admin as user data
   while probePgData classified the identical row as empty, so migrating into a
   previously-initialised-but-unused Postgres demanded --force. Same rule on
   both sides.

4. Cross-engine JSON handling is simpler and no longer lossy. SQLite keeps json
   columns as TEXT holding valid JSON and Postgres accepts JSON text directly,
   so the correct action is to pass them through untouched. Round 1 parsed then
   re-serialised them to undo a double-stringify; that round-tripped the JSON
   literal `null` into SQL NULL, changing data and breaking NOT NULL json
   columns. Not serialising at all fixes both.

Verified against a real PostgreSQL 15: a migrated install now carries
json_typeof = null for a JSON null, object for a nested object, and boolean for
a boolean — matching a native install exactly.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0168gubtwYYacJv8weAjy8DM

* fix(db): close review round 9 — probe error classes, marker ordering (#1038)

1. probePgData() answered every failure with "Postgres has data". That is right
   for an unreachable server — the app cannot run on it either way, and
   diverting a healthy pg install to a stale SQLite file over a transient blip
   would be worse — but wrong for a server that answers and then fails the
   query, which is what a half-built or damaged schema looks like. That is not
   evidence of data, and reporting it as such booted the empty Postgres and hid
   a populated SQLite file: the exact failure this guard exists to prevent.

   Reachability is now established with SELECT 1 first, so the two cases get
   opposite answers: unreachable → leave the configured engine alone;
   reachable-but-uninspectable → unproven, and the SQLite side wins if it
   actually holds data.

2. The success marker was written after the SQLite file was renamed away. A
   failure in between — a full disk — left the source retired with no marker:
   the next attempt reported "No SQLite database", the in-progress pin stayed,
   and the operator never saw the rollback path. The marker is written first
   and updated with the retired filename once the rename succeeds, so a failure
   at any point leaves everything recoverable.

Verified against a real PostgreSQL 15: a reachable database whose admin_users
table lacks the probed column now resolves to sqlite3 rather than hiding the
data, while an unreachable host still resolves to pg.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0168gubtwYYacJv8weAjy8DM

* fix(db): don't fail the migration on empty SQLite-only tables (#1038)

Review round 10. The final verification flagged every source table missing from
Postgres, regardless of whether it held rows — and SQLite-only tables do exist:
initializeDatabase() creates an `events_new` scratch table and, when its legacy
column copy throws, the catch swallows the error and leaves the empty table
behind (db.js:236). The importer correctly skips tables Postgres does not have,
so verification then reported a mismatch AFTER the data had already landed,
exited 1, and left the install pinned to SQLite with no way to finish.

An absent target table only matters if the source actually had rows. Empty ones
are now listed and skipped.

Reproduced both ways against a real PostgreSQL 15 with an events_new table
present: without the fix the run ends in "ROW COUNTS DO NOT MATCH" and leaves
the in-progress pin; with it, the table is reported as skipped, the migration
completes and the pin is released.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0168gubtwYYacJv8weAjy8DM

* fix(db): a completed migration overrides an implicit SQLite config (#1038)

Review round 11. The migration allowed the one configuration it should have
worried about most: DATABASE_CLIENT unset AND NODE_ENV not "production", which
resolves to the development block — i.e. sqlite3. That is precisely the state
the affected installs are in, since it is why they ended up on SQLite at all,
so an operator can easily run the migration before fixing it. The script then
renames the source database away, and the next start resolved to the implicit
sqlite3, created a NEW empty database and served it — after reporting success.

The success marker now overrides an IMPLICITLY resolved sqlite3 when Postgres
settings are present, because the marker is durable proof of where the data
actually went. An explicit DATABASE_CLIENT=sqlite3 still wins: that is the
documented rollback.

The script says something rather than refusing — refusing would block exactly
the population this exists for.

Reproduced with NODE_ENV and DATABASE_CLIENT both empty, against a real
PostgreSQL 15: the migration completes, the source is renamed away, and the
next boot resolves to pg with the data intact. Before this it resolved to
sqlite3 and would have served an empty database.

* refactor(db): drop the dead reachability flag in probePgData (#1038)

github-code-quality flagged `if (reachable)` as always true, and it is right:
the unreachable branch returns, so everything below it runs only when the probe
connected. The variable and the conditional were leftovers from a first draft
that used a single catch for both failure classes.

No behaviour change — the two error paths still return opposite answers.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0168gubtwYYacJv8weAjy8DM

* fix(db): refuse to choose when both databases hold data (#1038)

Review round 12.

1. An install that ran on PostgreSQL, lost NODE_ENV/DATABASE_CLIENT, and kept
   working on SQLite has REAL data on both sides: old rows in Postgres, newer
   ones in SQLite. The stranded-data rule only protected SQLite when Postgres
   was empty, so pulling this fix would have booted Postgres and hidden every
   gallery created since the switch — the exact failure this PR exists to
   prevent, in a variant I had not considered.

   A completed migration leaves a marker saying which side is current. Without
   one, two populated databases are a conflict: the boot stops and prints both
   targets, the two DATABASE_CLIENT values that resolve it, and the migration
   command that merges them. This is the only deliberate refusal in the change —
   guessing here would hide data AND split subsequent writes across two
   databases.

2. probePgData was handed knexConfig.connection even when knexfile had resolved
   to SQLite (a completed migration whose environment still says sqlite3), so
   node-postgres dialled its own localhost defaults instead of DB_HOST/DB_NAME —
   false "unreachable" diagnostics and a needless delay on every boot. The probe
   target is now built from the environment when the config is not pg.

The conflict is honoured by all three entry points: the resolver exits 3 with an
empty stdout, wait-for-db.sh stops the container, and server.js refuses to start.

Two existing tests asserted that Postgres wins when both sides hold data. They
encoded the pre-conflict assumption and described a state that cannot occur
after a real migration (which always leaves a marker); both now pass the marker.

Found while testing: the resolver's logger shim had no .error, so the conflict
path threw, was swallowed by the fallback, and silently chose Postgres — the
precise outcome this refuses to make. The shim is complete now.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0168gubtwYYacJv8weAjy8DM

* fix(db): symmetric bootstrap rule, one resolved Postgres target (#1038)

Review round 13. Both findings are consequences of earlier rounds.

1. The conflict rule added in round 12 counted an untouched SQLite bootstrap
   admin as data. core/001_init.js seeds one whenever ADMIN_PASSWORD is set —
   including into the accidental SQLite database — so a healthy Postgres install
   that had ever started once without NODE_ENV would have had a seeded-only
   SQLite file beside it, been declared a both-populated conflict, and REFUSED
   TO BOOT. The bootstrap discrimination is applied on both sides now; a
   setup-completed or logged-in admin still counts as real use on either.

2. The CLI's child phases inherited whichever knexfile block NODE_ENV selected.
   The development block defaults Postgres to localhost/postgres/photo_sharing,
   production to db/picpeak/picpeak — and this script is explicitly meant to run
   with NODE_ENV unset. With DB_USER/DB_NAME left to defaults it would therefore
   have migrated into `photo_sharing`, after which following the script's own
   advice to set NODE_ENV=production pointed the app at an empty `picpeak`.

   The target is resolved once, with production defaults, and passed explicitly
   to every phase — so the block knexfile happens to pick can no longer decide
   which database the data lands in. The pin and success marker record that same
   resolved identity.

Verified against a real PostgreSQL 15: a live Postgres beside a seeded-only
SQLite file now boots pg rather than refusing, flipping that admin to
setup-completed restores the conflict, and a migration records
localhost:7102/picpeak_r13b as its target rather than a defaulted guess.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0168gubtwYYacJv8weAjy8DM

* fix(db): one Postgres identity everywhere; protect the credentials file (#1038)

Review round 14. Three of the six findings were the same defect as round 13's,
surfacing through paths that fix did not cover: the connection used to PROBE or
MIGRATE could differ from the one the application then OPENS, because
knexfile's development block points Postgres at localhost/postgres/photo_sharing
while production uses db/picpeak/picpeak.

1. server.js exported only DATABASE_CLIENT=pg after the resolver decided, so
   knexfile filled in host/user/database from whichever block NODE_ENV selected.
   With SQLite already retired by a migration, that meant opening an empty
   database. The whole connection is pinned now.

2. Two defaults existed for DB_HOST: wait-for-db.sh resolves and exports
   `postgres`, knexfile's production block says `db`. Since the entrypoint
   exports its value, `postgres` is what a running container actually uses — so
   a `docker exec` migration, which inherits neither, has to agree with that,
   not with the default that is only reached when the entrypoint did not run.

3. The migration's Postgres phases inherited an unset NODE_ENV and therefore the
   development block, which ignores DB_SSL entirely — a managed Postgres
   requiring TLS could never be migrated into. The phases run with production
   semantics now.

4. core/001_init.js writes data/ADMIN_CREDENTIALS.txt, and that data directory
   belongs to the SOURCE install. Bootstrapping the Postgres schema replaced the
   operator's real credentials file with ones for a temporary admin the import
   immediately discards. The file is preserved across the phase, including when
   it fails.

5. The boot line described knexConfig, so an install redirected to Postgres by a
   migration marker still logged "Database engine: sqlite (...)", contradicting
   the warning printed one line earlier.

6. On a both-populated conflict resolveBootEngine returns client:null, and both
   migration runners told the operator their data was in "null" and to set
   DATABASE_CLIENT=null. They now present the two real choices.

Verified against a real PostgreSQL 15: a migrated install started directly with
NODE_ENV unset now logs `postgres (localhost:7102/picpeak_r14)` and opens it,
where before it would have gone to the development block's photo_sharing.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0168gubtwYYacJv8weAjy8DM

* refactor(db): resolve the PostgreSQL target in exactly one place (#1038)

Rounds 13 and 14 both traced back to the same thing, each time through a caller
the previous fix had not covered: three different defaults existed for the same
connection.

  knexfile development : localhost / postgres / photo_sharing
  knexfile production  : db        / picpeak  / picpeak
  wait-for-db.sh       : postgres  / picpeak  / picpeak   (and it EXPORTS them)

So a process that probed or migrated against one could hand over to a process
that opened another. Patching each caller was not converging — the guard, then
the CLI's child phases, then server.js — so this deletes the divergence instead.

`src/utils/pgConnection.js` now owns the resolution and knexfile's development
and production blocks both derive from it, as does the engine guard. Same shape
as the earlier sqlitePath.js extraction, for the same reason.

The database NAME is what made this dangerous: a wrong host or user fails
loudly at connect time, while a wrong name connects fine and presents an empty
installation.

BEHAVIOUR CHANGE: with DATABASE_CLIENT=pg and no DB_* variables, a
non-production environment now resolves to postgres/picpeak/picpeak instead of
localhost/postgres/photo_sharing. Deployments are unaffected — compose sets
these explicitly and wait-for-db.sh exports them — but a local machine running
Postgres bare now needs DB_HOST=localhost DB_USER=postgres DB_NAME=photo_sharing
(or DATABASE_CLIENT=sqlite3, which is what backend/.env already uses). The
failure mode of getting this wrong is a refused connection, not a silently empty
database.

Side effect worth having: DB_SSL is now honoured whatever NODE_ENV says, so the
managed-Postgres case is fixed at the root rather than by forcing production
semantics onto the migration's child phases.

The test block keeps its own photo_sharing_test default — isolation is the point
there.

Verified: every block plus the guard resolve identically from the same
environment; explicit DB_* still wins; production's pool tuning is preserved;
and a full SQLite → PostgreSQL migration with NODE_ENV unset lands in the right
database with JSON shapes intact.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0168gubtwYYacJv8weAjy8DM

* fix(db): two more components that guessed the database instead of asking (#1038)

Both found while sweeping for copies of the connection defaults. Checked in
detail first — one of my suspicions about them was wrong.

scripts/set-admin-password.js hand-rolled its own knex config while all four
sibling scripts (reset-admin-password, create-admin, show-admin-credentials,
reset-admin-mfa) use the application's connection. Two consequences:

  - it read DB_CLIENT, a variable nothing else in this codebase sets, so it
    defaulted to Postgres and could not work on a SQLite install at all;
  - it defaulted to database `picpeak_dev`, a name no other component uses.

It now uses `require('../src/database/db')` like its siblings, so it follows
whatever engine the install actually runs on. Timestamps are written as ISO
strings because it reaches SQLite now, where raw Date objects are the documented
landmine.

NOT changed: the script's "all existing sessions have been invalidated" notice
is accurate — auth.js compares token iat against password_changed_at — and it
deliberately leaves must_change_password alone, which is right for an operator
choosing a password rather than being issued one.

routes/adminSystem.js re-derived three things the live connection already knows,
and each could disagree with it:

  - the engine, from DATABASE_CLIENT || 'sqlite3' — so a Postgres install
    without an explicit DATABASE_CLIENT took the SQLite branch;
  - the Postgres database, from DB_NAME || 'picpeak';
  - the SQLite file, from a hardcoded ../../data/photo_sharing.db that ignored
    DATABASE_PATH entirely.

All three now come from db.client.config, with pg_database_size(current_database()).

Verified: set-admin-password works on SQLite (new hash verifies, old rejected)
and still on PostgreSQL; and on a SQLite install with a custom DATABASE_PATH the
size logic reports the real database (1,748,992 bytes) where the old code
reported a different file entirely (1,851,392) — or 0 where that path does not
exist.

* fix(db): bind the migration marker to its target; fix a phantom table (#1038)

Review round 15.

1. The marker records `host:port/database`, but only its EXISTENCE was checked.
   Repoint DB_NAME or DB_HOST at a different, empty PostgreSQL after migrating
   and the marker would vouch for that one too — booting it, presenting an empty
   installation, and suppressing the SQLite fallback while the real data sits in
   the recorded target and the renamed rollback copy. The marker is compared
   against the current connection now, and a mismatch stops the boot with both
   targets named and the two ways out.

2. `incoming_invoices` is not a table — supplier documents live in
   `inbound_documents` (core migration 124). Both occupancy lists skip tables
   that do not exist, so those records were silently not protecting anything:
   an install whose only remaining data was inbound documents could be switched
   away from, or overwritten without --force. Verified every other name in the
   lists against the live schema at the same time.

Verified: a marker naming picpeak_original with picpeak_mk configured refuses
with exit 3 and prints both; making them agree boots pg.

* fix(security): close the 5 open Trivy alerts — dep bumps + drop npm from the runtime image

Backend deps:
- postcss 8.5.10 -> 8.5.18 (CVE-2026-45623, GHSA-r28c-9q8g-f849; the pin

Runtime image:
- Remove the npm CLI from the final stage instead of upgrading it: npm's
  bundled node_modules ship tar 7.5.19 and brace-expansion 5.0.7 (no npm
  release bundles the fixed versions — checked 11.18.0 and 12.0.1), and
  npm never runs in production. wait-for-db.sh now invokes the migration
  runners via node directly. This ends the recurring npm-bundled-CVE
  alert class; the previous 'npm install -g npm@11' line was itself a
  patch for the last batch.

* fix(restore): run post-restore migrations via node — the image ships no npm

restoreService still shelled out to 'npm run migrate:safe' after a
restore; with npm removed from the runtime image that would ENOENT into
the non-fatal catch, silently leaving a restored older backup on a

migrations/run-migrations-safe.js through node directly, matching
wait-for-db.sh. The PR #596 source-contract test now pins the new

Paul Nothaft 1505775678 fix(install): self-chowning entrypoint kills fresh-install restart loop (#484)
The fresh-install restart loop reported by @MrGabri (and confirmed by
@AloePacci with the user:0:0 workaround) had a clear root cause:

  - Dockerfile pinned USER nodejs (UID 1001) before the entrypoint
    ran, so the existing chown branch in init-production.sh:13 was
    dead code.
  - wait-for-db.sh (the actual entrypoint, not init-production.sh)
    silently swallowed mkdir/EACCES on bind mounts with || true,
    then a downstream migration error surfaced as the visible failure.
  - Net effect on a typical Linux host where the bind-mount dir is
    owned by UID 1000: container can't write, exits non-zero,
    restarts forever with no clear error.

Switch to the standard Docker drop-privileges pattern:

  1. Install su-exec, drop `USER nodejs` from the Dockerfile —
     container now starts as root.
  2. wait-for-db.sh: if running as root, chown /app/storage,
     /app/data, /app/logs to nodejs and re-exec self via
     su-exec nodejs:nodejs. App still ends up running as UID 1001.
  3. Preflight check for non-root invocations (compose `user:`
     overrides): verify the bind mounts are actually writable
     before continuing. If not, exit 1 immediately with an
     actionable error pointing at the docs — no more silent
     restart loops.

Also:

  - Delete backend/init-production.sh. It was an orphan — no caller
    in the Dockerfile, compose, or anywhere else. Its chown logic
    looked authoritative enough that @MrGabri ran it manually trying
    to debug, which is what finally surfaced the EACCES.
  - docker-compose.yml: drop user: + PUID/PGID env. The pattern-B
    UID-matching workaround they implemented is obsolete now that
    pattern A (root-then-drop) is in place.
  - .env.example + README: drop PUID/PGID documentation.
  - Add fresh-install smoke test workflow. Boots backend + postgres
    against bind mounts owned by UID 1000 (the GitHub runner UID,
    and the common-mismatch case on Linux hosts) and verifies:
    + container reaches healthy without restart-looping
    + chown happened (dirs now owned by 1001 inside the container)
    + node runs as nodejs, not root (su-exec drop worked)
    + /health returns status:ok
    + with --user 5005:5005 + unwritable mounts, preflight exits
      loud with the expected error string

Verified locally end-to-end against a fresh Postgres + UID-501-owned
bind mount: backend reaches healthy in ~20s, chown applied, node
runs as nodejs, no restart loop. Docs in picpeak-docs cover the new
behavior + a Troubleshooting section for the install-path bugs
fixed in #484/#494/#511/#488.

Claude a59a4232ff Fix worker service and Docker storage permission issues (Issues #66, #67)
Issue #66: Remove redundant picpeak-workers.service creation from setup script.
Workers (fileWatcher, expirationChecker, emailProcessor) are now started
automatically by server.js, so a separate systemd service is not needed.
The legacy service cleanup code is retained for migration purposes.

Issue #67: Ensure storage directories exist at container startup in
wait-for-db.sh. When host directories are bind-mounted in Docker, the
container's built-in directories are overridden. This fix creates the
required directory structure (events/active, events/archived, thumbnails)
before the application starts, preventing EACCES permission errors.

Original: feat: enhance security logging and ensure rate limit blocks are properly tracked

- Add comprehensive logging for rate limit blocks with full request details
  - IP address (with proper proxy detection), user agent, headers, timestamps
  - Rate limit info (current count, limit, remaining, reset time)
  - Separate tracking for auth vs general endpoints

- Enhance authentication failure logging
  - JWT validation failures with detailed error info
  - Admin auth attempts without token
  - Failed token validation with user context
  - All events include IP, path, method, user agent

- Improve Winston logger configuration for production
  - Add automatic log rotation (10MB errors, 50MB combined)
  - Create separate security.log for auth/rate limit events
  - Ensure logs directory exists automatically
  - Add structured JSON format for log aggregation
  - Support container logging with LOG_TO_CONSOLE env var

- Create comprehensive documentation
  - Security logging guide with examples
  - Monitoring recommendations
  - Configuration reference

- Add test script to verify logging functionality

All rate limit settings remain configurable via admin panel:
- Window duration, max requests, auth limits
- Skip authenticated requests option
- Public endpoints only option
