-# Security Scan Report - Wedding Photo Sharing Application
-**Date**: July 13, 2025  
-**Scanner**: Claude Security Audit with --security --validate flags  
-**Overall Risk Level**: MEDIUM-HIGH  
-
-## Executive Summary
-
-The wedding photo sharing application demonstrates strong security fundamentals with comprehensive input validation, proper authentication mechanisms, and good file security practices. However, several critical issues require immediate attention, particularly around hardcoded secrets, token storage, and Content Security Policy configuration.
-
-### Security Score: 6.5/10
-
-**Strengths**: Excellent input validation, parameterized queries, file security, rate limiting  
-**Critical Issues**: Hardcoded JWT secrets, localStorage token storage, weak CSP, console logging in production
-
----
-
-## 🔴 CRITICAL FINDINGS (Immediate Action Required)
-
-### 1. Hardcoded JWT Secret in Development
-- **Location**: Backend `.env` file
-- **Risk**: Token forgery, authentication bypass
-- **Impact**: Complete authentication compromise
-- **Remediation**: 
-  ```bash
-  # Generate secure secret
-  openssl rand -base64 32
-  # Never commit to repository
-  echo ".env" >> .gitignore
-  ```
-
-### 2. Gallery Tokens in localStorage
-- **Location**: Frontend `api.ts` and auth contexts
-- **Risk**: XSS token theft
-- **Impact**: Gallery access compromise
-- **Remediation**: Move to httpOnly cookies:
-  ```typescript
-  Cookies.set(`gallery_token_${slug}`, token, {
-    httpOnly: true,
-    secure: true,
-    sameSite: 'strict'
-  });
-  ```
-
-### 3. Weak Content Security Policy
-- **Location**: Frontend `nginx.conf`
-- **Risk**: XSS, code injection
-- **Current**: `unsafe-inline` and `unsafe-eval` allowed
-- **Remediation**: Implement strict CSP (see detailed recommendations below)
-
----
-
-## 🟠 HIGH SEVERITY FINDINGS
-
-### 1. Console Logging in Production
-- **Locations**: 61 instances across frontend
-- **Risk**: Information disclosure
-- **Impact**: Leaking sensitive data, debugging info
-- **Remediation**: Implement environment-aware logging
-
-### 2. Token Revocation Vulnerability
-- **Location**: Backend `tokenRevocation.js`
-- **Risk**: Token manipulation
-- **Impact**: Bypass revocation checks
-- **Remediation**: Verify token signature before decoding
-
-### 3. Source Maps in Production
-- **Location**: Frontend build configuration
-- **Risk**: Source code exposure
-- **Impact**: Reveals application structure
-- **Remediation**: Disable in production builds
-
-### 4. Missing Security Headers
-- **Location**: nginx configuration
-- **Missing**: HSTS, Permissions-Policy
-- **Impact**: Various client-side attacks
-- **Remediation**: Add comprehensive security headers
-
----
-
-## 🟡 MEDIUM SEVERITY FINDINGS
-
-### 1. Rate Limiting Bypass Potential
-- **Location**: Backend rate limiter
-- **Risk**: DoS attacks
-- **Current**: JWT validation in rate limiter
-- **Remediation**: Use IP-based limiting only
-
-### 2. Incomplete SQL Injection Protection
-- **Location**: Complex dashboard queries
-- **Risk**: Potential injection in edge cases
-- **Current**: Mostly parameterized
-- **Remediation**: Use query builder exclusively
-
-### 3. Session Management
-- **Issue**: No gallery token invalidation on password change
-- **Risk**: Persistent access after compromise
-- **Remediation**: Implement token revocation
-
-### 4. Path Traversal in Gallery Slugs
-- **Location**: Frontend gallery routes
-- **Risk**: Directory traversal attempts
-- **Remediation**: Validate and sanitize slugs
-
----
-
-## 🟢 LOW SEVERITY FINDINGS
-
-### 1. Verbose Error Messages
-- **Location**: Multiple API endpoints
-- **Risk**: Information disclosure
-- **Remediation**: Generic client errors, detailed server logs
-
-### 2. Weak Gallery Passwords
-- **Current**: zxcvbn score 2/4 allowed
-- **Risk**: Brute force attacks
-- **Remediation**: Increase to score 3/4
-
-### 3. Missing File Size Validation
-- **Location**: Frontend upload components
-- **Risk**: DoS via large uploads
-- **Remediation**: Add client-side size checks
-
----

+# Docker Build and Push Workflow
+
+This GitHub Actions workflow automatically builds and pushes Docker images for both the backend and frontend to GitHub Container Registry (ghcr.io).
+
+## Features
+
+- 🔧 **Automatic builds** on push to main/develop branches, PRs, and releases
+- 🏗️ **Multi-architecture support** (linux/amd64 and linux/arm64)
+- 🏷️ **Smart tagging** based on branches, versions, and commits
+- 🔒 **Security scanning** with Trivy vulnerability scanner
+- 💾 **Build caching** for faster subsequent builds
+- 📊 **Build summaries** in GitHub Actions UI
+
+## Authentication
+
+The workflow uses the built-in `GITHUB_TOKEN` for authentication with GitHub Container Registry. No additional setup or personal access tokens are required.
+
+### Required Permissions
+
+The workflow automatically sets the necessary permissions:
+- `contents: read` - To checkout the repository
+- `packages: write` - To push images to ghcr.io
+- `security-events: write` - To upload security scan results
+
+## Image Tags
+
+Images are automatically tagged based on the trigger event:
+
+| Event | Tags Generated |
+|-------|---------------|
+| Push to main | `latest`, `main`, `main-<short-sha>` |
+| Push to develop | `develop`, `develop-<short-sha>` |
+| Pull Request | `pr-<number>` |
+| Release (v1.2.3) | `1.2.3`, `1.2`, `1`, `latest` |
+| Manual trigger | Based on branch + optional push |
+
+## Usage
+
+### Pull Images
+
+Once published, images can be pulled using:
+
+```bash
+# Pull backend image
+docker pull ghcr.io/the-luap/picpeak/backend:latest
+
+# Pull frontend image
+docker pull ghcr.io/the-luap/picpeak/frontend:latest
+
+# Pull specific version
+docker pull ghcr.io/the-luap/picpeak/backend:v1.0.0
+
+# Pull for specific architecture
+docker pull --platform linux/arm64 ghcr.io/the-luap/picpeak/backend:latest
+```
+
+### Using in Docker Compose
+
+```yaml
+version: '3.8'
+
+services:
+  backend:
+    image: ghcr.io/the-luap/picpeak/backend:latest
+    environment:
+      - NODE_ENV=production
+    ports:
+      - "3001:3000"
+
+  frontend:
+    image: ghcr.io/the-luap/picpeak/frontend:latest
+    ports:
+      - "80:80"
+```
+
+### Using in Kubernetes
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: apps/v1
+kind: Deployment
+metadata:
+  name: picpeak-backend
+spec:
+  replicas: 3
+  template:
+    spec:
+      containers:
+      - name: backend
+        image: ghcr.io/the-luap/picpeak/backend:latest
+        imagePullPolicy: Always
+```
+
+## Manual Workflow Trigger
+
+You can manually trigger the workflow from the Actions tab:
+
+1. Go to Actions → "Build and Push Docker Images"
+2. Click "Run workflow"
+3. Select branch and whether to push images
+4. Click "Run workflow"
+
+## Security Scanning
+
+The workflow includes Trivy vulnerability scanning that:
+- Scans for CRITICAL and HIGH severity vulnerabilities
+- Uploads results to GitHub Security tab
+- Available under Security → Code scanning alerts
+
+## Build Optimization
+
+The workflow uses several optimization techniques:
+
+1. **GitHub Actions Cache**: Speeds up builds by caching layers
+2. **Multi-stage builds**: Reduces final image size
+3. **Parallel builds**: Backend and frontend build simultaneously
+4. **Smart rebuilds**: Only rebuilds changed components
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Permission Denied Errors
+
+If you encounter permission errors when pushing images:
+
+1. **First-time setup**: The first push creates a private package. You may need to:
+   - Go to your package settings at `https://github.com/users/YOUR_USERNAME/packages`
+   - Link the package to your repository
+   - Set package visibility (public/private)
+
+2. **Organization repositories**: Ensure the organization allows GitHub Actions to create packages
+
+### Build Failures
+
+Check the workflow logs in the Actions tab for detailed error messages. Common issues:
+- Missing dependencies in package.json
+- Dockerfile syntax errors
+- Network issues during package installation
+
+### Image Not Found
+
+If images aren't visible after successful push:
+- Check package visibility settings
+- Ensure you're authenticated to pull private images:
+  ```bash
+  echo $GITHUB_TOKEN | docker login ghcr.io -u YOUR_USERNAME --password-stdin
+  ```
+
+## Package Management
+
+### View Packages
+
+Your Docker images are available at:
+- Backend: `https://github.com/users/the-luap/packages/container/package/picpeak%2Fbackend`
+- Frontend: `https://github.com/users/the-luap/packages/container/package/picpeak%2Ffrontend`
+
+### Delete Old Versions
+
+To save storage, you can delete old versions:
+1. Go to package settings
+2. Click on "Manage versions"
+3. Select versions to delete
+4. Click "Delete selected versions"
+
+### Set Retention Policy
+
+Configure automatic cleanup in package settings:
+1. Go to package settings
+2. Click on "Manage Actions access"
+3. Set retention days for untagged versions
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use semantic versioning** for releases (e.g., v1.2.3)
+2. **Test images locally** before pushing to production
+3. **Monitor security alerts** from Trivy scans
+4. **Clean up old images** regularly to save storage
+5. **Use specific tags** in production (avoid `latest`)
+
+## Advanced Configuration
+
+### Custom Registry
+
+To use a different registry, update the workflow:
+
+```yaml
+env:
+  REGISTRY: docker.io  # or your custom registry
+  BACKEND_IMAGE_NAME: yourusername/picpeak-backend
+```
+
+### Additional Platforms
+
+To build for more platforms:
+
+```yaml
+platforms: linux/amd64,linux/arm64,linux/arm/v7
+```
+
+### Custom Build Arguments
+
+Add build arguments in the workflow:
+
+```yaml
+build-args: |
+  NODE_VERSION=20
+  API_URL=${{ secrets.API_URL }}
+```

-# CI/CD Strategy for PicPeak
-
-## Overview
-
-This document outlines the CI/CD strategy using both Gitea Actions and Drone CI to avoid conflicts and ensure proper versioning.
-
-## Pipeline Flow
-
-### 1. Development & Testing (Gitea Actions)
-- **Trigger**: Every push to `main` or `develop` branches
-- **File**: `.gitea/workflows/test.yml`
-- **Purpose**: Run tests, linting, and basic validation
-- **Actions**:
-  - Backend linting and tests
-  - Frontend linting and build
-  - Does NOT build Docker images
-
-### 2. Version Management (Gitea Actions)
-- **Trigger**: Push to `main` branch (excluding markdown files)
-- **File**: `.gitea/workflows/version-and-release.yml`
-- **Purpose**: Automatic version incrementing
-- **Actions**:
-  1. Reads current version from `package.json`
-  2. Increments patch version (e.g., 1.0.0 → 1.0.1)
-  3. Updates both backend and frontend `package.json`
-  4. Commits the version change
-  5. Creates a git tag (e.g., `v1.0.1`)
-  6. Pushes changes and tag
-
-### 3. Docker Image Building (Drone CI)
-- **Trigger**: 
-  - Push to `main` or `develop` (builds with commit SHA)
-  - New git tags (builds release versions)
-- **File**: `.drone.yml`
-- **Purpose**: Build and push Docker images
-- **Tags Created**:
-  - `latest` - Always points to newest build
-  - `{commit-sha}` - Specific commit version
-  - `{branch}-latest` - Latest for specific branch
-  - `v1.0.1` - Specific version (on tag trigger)
-
-## Why This Strategy?

-1. **Separation of Concerns**:
-   - Gitea Actions handles code quality and versioning
-   - Drone CI handles Docker image building
-   - No overlap or race conditions
-
-2. **Sequential Execution**:
-   - Version bump happens first
-   - Tag creation triggers Drone
-   - Docker images are built with correct version
-
-3. **Version Consistency**:
-   - Version in `package.json` matches git tag
-   - Docker images are tagged with same version
-   - No manual version management needed
-
-## Setup Requirements
-
-1. **Gitea Actions Runner**: Must be configured and running
-2. **Drone CI**: Must be connected to your Gitea instance
-3. **Secrets**: 
-   - `GITEA_TOKEN` (optional, for pushing version commits)
-   - Docker registry credentials in Drone
-
-## Version Numbering
-
-- Format: `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH` (e.g., 1.0.0)
-- Automatic increments: PATCH version only
-- Manual increments: Edit `package.json` for MAJOR/MINOR changes
-
-## Usage
-
-1. **Regular Development**:
-   ```bash
-   git add .
-   git commit -m "feat: add new feature"
-   git push origin main
-   ```
-   - Tests run automatically
-   - Version bumps to 1.0.1
-   - Docker images built with v1.0.1 tag
-
-2. **Major/Minor Version Change**:
-   ```bash
-   # Manually edit package.json files to 2.0.0
-   git add .
-   git commit -m "feat!: major release"
-   git push origin main
-   ```
-
-3. **Skip Version Bump**:
-   - Add `[skip ci]` to commit message
-   - Or only change markdown files
-
-## Monitoring
-
-- **Gitea Actions**: Check Actions tab in Gitea
-- **Drone CI**: Check Drone dashboard
-- **Docker Registry**: Verify images are pushed with correct tags
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-1. **Version not incrementing**:
-   - Check Gitea Actions logs
-   - Ensure runner has push permissions
-   - Verify no `[skip ci]` in commit message
-
-2. **Docker images not building**:
-   - Check Drone CI webhook configuration
-   - Verify Drone can see the repository
-   - Check Docker registry credentials
-
-3. **Conflicts**:
-   - Never run both pipelines for same task
-   - Use branch protection to prevent direct pushes
-   - Always let automation handle versioning

-This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
-
-## Product Overview
-
-A secure photo sharing platform designed for weddings and events, enabling photographers to share time-limited, password-protected galleries. The platform features automatic expiration, archiving, and a scrappbook.de-inspired modern, minimalist UI.
-
-## Architecture Overview
-
-- **Backend**: Node.js/Express API with SQLite/PostgreSQL, file-based photo storage
-- **Frontend**: React SPA with scrappbook.de-style design (requires implementation)
-- **Storage**: File-based with active/archived separation
-- **Services**: Background workers for email, archiving, file watching, and expiration monitoring
-- **Analytics**: Umami integration for engagement tracking
-
-## Essential Commands
-
-### Backend Development
-```bash
-cd backend
-npm install               # Install dependencies
-npm run migrate          # Initialize database schema
-npm run dev              # Start with hot-reload (port 3001)
-npm test                 # Run Jest tests
-npm run lint             # ESLint checks
-```
-
-### Running a Single Test
-```bash
-cd backend
-npm test -- path/to/test.test.js
-npm test -- --testNamePattern="test name"
-```
-
-### Production
-```bash
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d  # Production deployment
-pm2 start ecosystem.config.js                     # Alternative: PM2 deployment
-```
-
-## Key Product Requirements (from PRD)
-
-### Core Features
-1. **File-Based System**: Drop photos in folders → automatic gallery creation
-2. **Automatic Expiration**: Default 30 days, with 7-day warning emails
-3. **Password Protection**: Secure access with customizable passwords
-4. **Automatic Archiving**: ZIP compression and storage after expiration
-5. **Email Notifications**: Creation, warning, and expiration notifications
-6. **Analytics**: Umami tracking for views, downloads, and engagement

-
-## Frontend Implementation Requirements
-
-### Design Style (scrappbook.de-inspired)
-- **Color Palette**: Primary green (#5C8762), neutral backgrounds
-- **Typography**: Clean, modern sans-serif (Noto Sans or similar)
-- **Layout**: Minimalist, modular sections with grid-based photo displays
-- **Aesthetic**: Professional yet approachable, photographer-focused
-
-### Key Frontend Components to Build
-1. **Landing Page**: Password entry with event preview
-2. **Gallery View**: 
-   - Responsive photo grid with lazy loading
-   - Toggle between collages/individual photos
-   - Prominent expiration banner
-   - Download urgency indicators
-3. **Photo Lightbox**: Full-screen viewing with zoom
-4. **Mobile-First**: Responsive design with touch gestures
-5. **Personalization**: Dynamic theming per event type
-
-### User Experience Priorities
-- Clear expiration warnings (sticky banner)
-- One-click "Download All" for urgent galleries
-- Smooth image loading with skeleton screens
-- Intuitive navigation between photo categories
-- Professional presentation matching photographer branding
-
-## Key Architecture Patterns
-
-### Authentication Flow
-- JWT-based with separate tokens for admin and gallery access
-- Gallery tokens include event-specific claims
-- Auth middleware: `backend/src/middleware/auth.js`
-  - `adminAuth` - Admin panel protection
-  - `photoAuth` - Protected photo access  
-  - `verifyGalleryAccess` - Gallery-specific validation
-
-### Database Schema (Knex/SQLite)
-Main tables:
-- `events` - Gallery metadata with expiration, custom messages, themes
-- `photos` - Photo records linked to events
-- `access_logs` - IP-based usage tracking
-- `email_queue` - Async email processing
-- `admin_users` - Admin authentication
-
-### Service Architecture
-Background services run as separate processes:
-- **emailService**: Processes email queue with retry logic
-- **archiveService**: Creates ZIP archives of expired events
-- **expirationChecker**: Cron job for expiration warnings
-- **fileWatcher**: Monitors for new photo uploads
-
-### API Structure
-- `/api/admin/*` - Admin panel endpoints (requires adminAuth)
-- `/api/gallery/*` - Public gallery endpoints  
-- `/api/auth/*` - Authentication endpoints
-- Rate limiting: 100 req/15min (general), 5 req/15min (auth)
-
-## Critical Implementation Notes
-
-1. **Security**: All gallery access requires valid JWT with event-specific claims
-2. **Expiration**: Events auto-expire based on `expires_at`, with 7-day email warnings
-3. **Email Queue**: Async processing with retry logic, check `email_queue` table
-4. **File Processing**: Sharp library for thumbnail generation (300x300)
-5. **Frontend Status**: Only skeleton exists - requires full implementation based on PRD
-6. **Umami Analytics**: Track password entries, downloads, views, expiration warnings
-

-# Deployment Guide - Traefik Production Setup
-
-## Overview
-
-This guide explains how to deploy PicPeak with an external Traefik reverse proxy for production use.
-
-## Fixed Issues
-
-1. **Database Migration**: Added missing `created_at` column to `email_queue` table
-2. **502 Bad Gateway**: Properly configured Traefik routing and backend accessibility
-3. **Health Checks**: Fixed health check endpoint imports and paths
-
-## Deployment Steps
-
-### 1. Update Environment Variables
-
-Ensure your `.env` file has the correct URLs:
-```bash
-ADMIN_URL=https://picpeak.nothaft.cloud
-FRONTEND_URL=https://picpeak.nothaft.cloud
-```
-
-### 2. Build Images
-
-```bash
-# Build backend image
-docker build -t picpeak-backend:latest ./backend
-
-# Build frontend image  
-docker build -t picpeak-frontend:latest ./frontend \
-  --build-arg VITE_API_URL=/api \
-  --build-arg VITE_UMAMI_URL=${VITE_UMAMI_URL} \
-  --build-arg VITE_UMAMI_WEBSITE_ID=${VITE_UMAMI_WEBSITE_ID}
-```
-
-### 3. Deploy with Traefik
-
-Use the new Traefik-specific compose file:
-```bash
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.traefik.yml up -d
-```
-
-### 4. Verify Deployment
-
-Check that all services are healthy:
-```bash
-# Check container status
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.traefik.yml ps
-
-# Check backend health
-curl https://picpeak.nothaft.cloud/api/health
-
-# Check logs
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.traefik.yml logs -f backend
-```
-
-## Key Differences from Standard Deployment
-
-1. **No Internal Nginx**: Traefik handles all routing externally
-2. **API Path Stripping**: Traefik strips `/api` prefix when forwarding to backend
-3. **Network Configuration**: Services join external `traefik` network
-4. **Health Checks**: Backend exposes `/health` endpoint (not `/api/health`)
-
-## Why CI/CD Tests Pass But Production Fails
-
-CI/CD tests typically:
-- Use in-memory or temporary databases with fresh migrations
-- Don't test through reverse proxy (direct API calls)
-- Don't run background services (email processor, etc.)
-- Have different network configurations
-
-Production environment has:
-- Persistent database that may have migration state issues
-- Reverse proxy routing complexity
-- All background services running
-- Different security and network constraints
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### 502 Bad Gateway
-- Check Traefik network connectivity: `docker network ls`
-- Verify backend is in traefik network: `docker inspect picpeak-backend`
-- Check Traefik logs: `docker logs traefik`
-
-### Database Issues
-- Connect to database: `docker exec -it picpeak-db psql -U picpeak`
-- Check migration status: `SELECT * FROM migrations;`
-- Run migrations manually: `docker exec -it picpeak-backend npm run migrate:safe`
-
-### Email Service Errors
-- Check email queue: `SELECT * FROM email_queue ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 10;`
-- Monitor email processor: `docker logs picpeak-backend | grep "email"`

-
-# Generate secure secrets
-echo "JWT_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 32)" >> .env
-echo "DB_PASSWORD=$(openssl rand -base64 24)" >> .env
-```
-
-Edit `.env` with your configuration:
-
-```env
-# Your domain
-ADMIN_URL=https://yourdomain.com
-FRONTEND_URL=https://yourdomain.com
-
-# Database (PostgreSQL)
-DB_USER=picpeak
-DB_NAME=picpeak
-# DB_PASSWORD already generated above
-
-# Email
-SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
-SMTP_PORT=587
-SMTP_SECURE=true
-SMTP_USER=your-email@gmail.com
-SMTP_PASS=your-app-password
-EMAIL_FROM=noreply@yourdomain.com
-```
-
-### 2. Frontend Configuration
-
-```bash
-# Configure frontend for production
-echo "VITE_API_URL=/api" > frontend/.env.production
-```
-
-### 3. Deploy with Docker Compose
-
-```bash
-# Build and start services
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
-
-# Check status
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml ps
-
-# View logs
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f
-```
-
-### 4. Deploy with Traefik
-
-If using Traefik, create `docker-compose.override.yml`:
-
-```yaml
-version: '3.8'
-
-services:
-  frontend:
-    labels:
-      - "traefik.enable=true"
-      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak.rule=Host(`yourdomain.com`)"
-      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak.entrypoints=websecure"
-      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt"
-      - "traefik.http.services.picpeak.loadbalancer.server.port=80"
-    networks:
-      - traefik
-      - picpeak
-
-networks:
-  traefik:
-    external: true
-```
-
-## Admin User Setup
-
-### Create First Admin
-
-After deployment, create your admin user:
-
-```bash
-# Production
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec backend node scripts/create-admin.js \
-  --email admin@yourdomain.com \
-  --username admin \
-  --password yourSecurePassword
-
-# Auto-generate password
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec backend node scripts/create-admin.js \
-  --email admin@yourdomain.com
-```
-
-The script will display:
-- ✅ Admin user created successfully!
-- Email: admin@yourdomain.com
-- Username: admin
-- Login URL: https://yourdomain.com/admin/login
-- Password: (save this if auto-generated!)
-
-### Managing Admin Users
-
-```bash
-# List admin users
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec backend \
-  psql postgresql://picpeak:$DB_PASSWORD@db:5432/picpeak \
-  -c "SELECT id, username, email, is_active, last_login FROM admin_users;"
-
-# Deactivate user
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec backend \
-  psql postgresql://picpeak:$DB_PASSWORD@db:5432/picpeak \
-  -c "UPDATE admin_users SET is_active = false WHERE email = 'user@example.com';"
-```
-
-## Configuration Reference
-
-### Database Configuration
-
-PicPeak automatically detects the environment and uses:
-- **Development**: SQLite (`./data/photo_sharing.db`)

+# 🚀 PicPeak Deployment Guide
+
+This guide covers multiple deployment options for PicPeak, from simple local setups to production-ready configurations.
+
+## 🎯 Quick Start - Simple Setup (Recommended for Beginners)
+
+For the easiest installation without Docker or complex configurations, use our **unified setup script**:
+
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/the-luap/picpeak/main/scripts/picpeak-setup.sh -o picpeak-setup.sh && \
+chmod +x picpeak-setup.sh && \
+sudo ./picpeak-setup.sh
+```
+
+This automated script handles everything including:
+- Choice between Docker or Native installation
+- OS detection and dependency installation
+- Database setup and service configuration
+- SSL/HTTPS setup (optional)
+
+Perfect for:
+- Small to medium deployments
+- Local or VPS installations  
+- Users new to server management
+- Quick testing and evaluation
+
+👉 **See [SIMPLE_SETUP.md](./SIMPLE_SETUP.md) for detailed instructions.**
+
+---
+
+## 🐳 Docker Compose Deployment
+
+### Option 1: Using Pre-built Images (Recommended)
+
+PicPeak provides official Docker images via GitHub Container Registry for quick deployment without building:
+
+```bash
+# Clone repository for configuration files
+git clone https://github.com/the-luap/picpeak.git
+cd picpeak
+
+# Copy and configure environment
+cp .env.example .env
+nano .env  # Edit with your values
+
+# Use pre-built images deployment
+docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml up -d
+```
+
+The production compose file uses:
+- **Backend**: `ghcr.io/the-luap/picpeak/backend:latest`
+- **Frontend**: `ghcr.io/the-luap/picpeak/frontend:latest`
+
+Available tags:
+- `latest` - Latest stable release
+- `main` - Latest main branch build
+- `develop` - Development branch (may be unstable)
+- `v1.0.0` - Specific version tags
+
+### Option 2: Building from Source
+
+If you need to customize the application or the pre-built images aren't available, you can build locally:

+- Docker and Docker Compose installed
+- Domain name (for production)
+- SMTP server credentials for emails
+- At least 2GB RAM and 20GB storage
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+### Method 1: Using Pre-built Images (Fastest)
+
+1. **Clone the repository for configs**
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/the-luap/picpeak.git
+   cd picpeak
+   ```
+
+2. **Set up environment**
+   ```bash
+   cp .env.example .env
+   nano .env  # Edit with your values
+   ```
+
+3. **Create required directories**
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p events/active events/archived data logs backup storage
+   chmod -R 755 events data logs backup storage
+   ```
+
+4. **Deploy using pre-built images**
+   ```bash
+   docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml up -d
+   ```
+
+5. **Check logs**
+   ```bash
+   docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml logs -f
+   ```
+
+## External Media Library
+
+PicPeak can reference an existing, read‑only media library mounted into the backend container. This avoids copying originals into PicPeak storage.
+
+- Map your host library path to the container as read‑only in `docker-compose.production.yml`:
+  - Add volume under `backend`: `- ${EXTERNAL_MEDIA}:/external-media:ro`
+  - Add backend env: `EXTERNAL_MEDIA_ROOT=/external-media`
+- In `.env`, set:
+  - `EXTERNAL_MEDIA=/mnt/photos` (example host path)
+  - `EXTERNAL_MEDIA_ROOT=/external-media`
+
+Usage:
+- In Admin → Events, set “Source Mode” to “Reference (external folder)”, select a folder under `/external-media`, then import to index and generate thumbnails. Originals stay in your library.
+
+Backups and Archives:
+- Backups only include data under `STORAGE_PATH` and exclude external originals. The backup manifest includes `metadata.external_references = { excluded: true, events: N, photos: M }` and the Admin UI surfaces a warning.
+- Archiving reference events creates a manifest‑only ZIP and deletes thumbnails for that event. External originals are never moved or deleted.
+
+Local (npm) setup (no Docker):
+
+1. Create or choose a folder that contains your external originals, e.g. `/Users/you/Pictures/picpeak-external` (macOS/Linux) or `C:\\Pictures\\picpeak-external` (Windows).
+2. In `backend/.env` (or your shell), set:
+   - `EXTERNAL_MEDIA_ROOT=/absolute/path/to/picpeak-external`
+   - Ensure `STORAGE_PATH` points to your PicPeak storage (defaults to `./storage`).
+3. Start services from source:
+   - Backend: `cd backend && npm install && npm run migrate && JWT_SECRET=... npm start`
+   - Frontend: `cd frontend && npm install && npm run dev` (or build + serve)
+4. In Admin → Events:
+   - Create an event, set “Source Mode” to “Reference (external folder)”.
+   - Use the folder picker to browse under your `EXTERNAL_MEDIA_ROOT` and select the subfolder to reference.
+   - Click “Import from selected folder” to index files and generate thumbnails on demand.
+
+Notes:
+- PicPeak only reads from `EXTERNAL_MEDIA_ROOT`; it never modifies or deletes your originals there.
+- Thumbnails are generated under `STORAGE_PATH/thumbnails` and are included in backups; originals in `EXTERNAL_MEDIA_ROOT` are excluded.
+- On Windows, use absolute paths (e.g., `C:\\Photos\\Library`) for `EXTERNAL_MEDIA_ROOT`.
+
+### Method 2: Building from Source
+
+1. **Clone the repository**
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/the-luap/picpeak.git
+   cd picpeak
+   ```
+
+2. **Set up environment**
+   ```bash
+   cp .env.example .env
+   nano .env  # Edit with your values
+   ```
+
+3. **Create required directories**
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p events/active events/archived data logs backup storage
+   chmod -R 755 events data logs backup storage
+   ```
+
+4. **Build and deploy**
+   ```bash
+   docker compose build
+   docker compose up -d
+   ```
+
+5. **Check logs**
+   ```bash
+   docker compose logs -f
+   ```
+
+## 🔧 Configuration
+
+### Essential Environment Variables
+
+Generate secure values:
+```bash
+# JWT Secret
+openssl rand -base64 64
+
+# Database Password (avoid $ character - see warning below)
+openssl rand -base64 32 | tr -d '$'
+
+# Redis Password (avoid $ character - see warning below)
+openssl rand -base64 32 | tr -d '$'
+```
+
+⚠️ **PASSWORD WARNING**: Docker Compose interprets `$` as variable substitution. Either:
+- Avoid `$` in passwords (recommended - use the commands above)
+- Escape `$` as `$$` (e.g., `Pass$$word` instead of `Pass$word`)
+- Quote the entire value: `DB_PASSWORD='Pass$word'` (less reliable)
+
+### Public Landing Page
+
+- `npm run migrate` now seeds three general settings: `general_public_site_enabled`, `general_public_site_html`, and `general_public_site_custom_css` so existing installs stay disabled by default.
+- Configure the feature from **Admin → CMS Pages**. The landing page panel exposes the toggle, HTML editor, optional CSS overrides, preview, and a reset-to-default action.
+- All HTML and CSS submitted through the UI is sanitized server-side. Scripts, inline event handlers, disallowed attributes, `@import` rules, and `javascript:` URLs are stripped before content is cached or rendered.
+- Resetting via the UI (or calling `POST /api/admin/settings/public-site/reset`) restores the bundled template and clears custom CSS.
+- The landing page response is cached in-memory. Override the default 60s cache window by setting `PUBLIC_SITE_CACHE_TTL_MS` (milliseconds) in your environment if you need faster cache busting.
+- When the toggle is off PicPeak continues to serve the SPA/login redirect at `/`, preserving legacy behaviour until you explicitly enable the feature.
+
+### Backend Configuration (.env)
+Update `.env` with:
+- `JWT_SECRET` - Authentication secret (REQUIRED - generate a secure random value)
+- `DB_PASSWORD` - PostgreSQL password
+- `REDIS_PASSWORD` - Redis password
+- `SMTP_*` - Email configuration
+- **URL Configuration** (for backend CORS):
+  - `FRONTEND_URL` - Frontend origin (use full URL with scheme, no trailing slash)
+    - Example (Docker): `http://localhost:3000`
+- `ADMIN_URL` - Admin origin (same as `FRONTEND_URL` for Docker; full URL, no trailing slash)
+  - Example (Docker): `http://localhost:3000`
+  
+  Notes:
+  - Do not include trailing `/` (e.g., use `http://host:3000`, not `http://host:3000/`).
+  - Always include the scheme (`http://` or `https://`).
+  - The backend compares origins strictly for CORS; malformed values will cause login requests to fail with 500.
+
+#### Authentication Security
+- Configure login attempt thresholds from **Admin → Settings → Security**. Defaults are 5 failed attempts per IP within 15 minutes, resulting in a 30 minute lockout.
+
+#### External Database Example
+To use an external PostgreSQL instead of the bundled container, set the following in `.env` and ensure the `postgres` service is disabled or removed:
+
+```env
+DB_HOST=db.example.com
+DB_PORT=5432
+DB_USER=picpeak
+DB_PASSWORD=change_me
+DB_NAME=picpeak_prod
+```
+
+Compose uses these values via `env_file: .env`. The backend service also defaults `DB_HOST=${DB_HOST:-postgres}` so if you don’t set `DB_HOST` it will use the bundled `postgres` container.
+
+### Frontend Configuration (frontend/.env)
+Create `frontend/.env` from `frontend/.env.example`:
+```bash
+cp frontend/.env.example frontend/.env
+```
+
+Update `frontend/.env` with:
+- `VITE_API_URL` - Backend API URL
+  - Docker (pre-built images) and production behind reverse proxy: `/api` (recommended; avoids CORS and matches the frontend Nginx proxy in the image)
+  - Local dev (Vite): `http://localhost:3001` or `/api` if proxying through a dev proxy
+
+Note: When using pre-built frontend images, runtime container env does not change the already-built JS. Prefer the default `/api` and let the frontend Nginx proxy forward to the backend.
+
+⚠️ **IMPORTANT PORT CONFIGURATION**: 
+- The frontend runs on port **3000** in Docker (exposed via nginx)
+- The backend API runs on port **3001**
+- The frontend `.env` file MUST point to the correct backend port (3001)
+- Default `.env.example` is configured for Docker deployment
+
+### Email Configuration Examples
+
+#### Gmail
+```env
+SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
+SMTP_PORT=587
+SMTP_SECURE=false
+SMTP_USER=your-email@gmail.com
+SMTP_PASS=your-app-specific-password
+```
+
+#### SendGrid
+```env
+SMTP_HOST=smtp.sendgrid.net
+SMTP_PORT=587
+SMTP_SECURE=false
+SMTP_USER=apikey
+SMTP_PASS=your-sendgrid-api-key
+```
+
+## 📦 Deployment
+
+### Using Pre-built Images (Fastest)
+
+```bash
+# Pull latest images from GitHub Container Registry
+docker pull ghcr.io/the-luap/picpeak/backend:latest
+docker pull ghcr.io/the-luap/picpeak/frontend:latest
+
+# Start services using production compose file
+docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml up -d
+
+# View running containers
+docker compose ps
+```
+
+### Building from Source (For Customization)
+
+```bash
+# Build images locally
+docker compose build
+
+# Or build with no cache for clean build
+docker compose build --no-cache
+
+# Start all services
+docker compose up -d
+
+# View running containers
+docker compose ps
+```
+
+### Access Points
+
+By default, services are exposed on:
+- Frontend (UI + Admin): http://localhost:3000 (admin at `/admin`)
+- Backend/API: http://localhost:3001 (API only; no UI routes)
+- PostgreSQL: localhost:5432 (if needed)
+- Redis: localhost:6379 (if needed)
+
+### Initial Admin Setup
+
+When deploying for the first time, an admin account is automatically created with a secure, randomly generated password. This password is displayed in the Docker logs during initialization and **must be changed** on first login.
+
+#### Finding the Auto-Generated Admin Password
+
+The admin password is automatically generated during the first startup and displayed in the backend container logs. Here's how to find it:
+
+**Option 1: Search Docker logs for admin password** (recommended)
+```bash
+# Find the auto-generated admin password in logs
+docker compose logs backend | grep "Admin password"
+```
+
+You should see output like:
+```
+✅ Admin password generated: BraveTiger6231!
+```
+
+**Option 2: View the complete initialization logs**
+```bash
+# View the complete admin setup logs
+docker compose logs backend | grep -A 10 "Admin user created"
+```
+
+**Option 3: Check the saved credentials file**
+```bash
+# The password is also saved in the backend container
+docker exec picpeak-backend cat data/ADMIN_CREDENTIALS.txt
+```
+
+**Option 4: Use the helper script**
+```bash
+# Show current admin username and email (password is hidden)
+docker exec picpeak-backend node scripts/show-admin-credentials.js
+
+# Reset the admin password to a new random password
+docker exec picpeak-backend node scripts/show-admin-credentials.js --reset
+```
+
+#### Important Security Notes
+
+- **Login requires the email address**, not username
+- The admin password is only displayed once during initial setup
+- **Password change is MANDATORY** on first login - the system will force you to change it
+- If you lose the password before first login, use the `--reset` option to generate a new one
+- New password requirements: minimum 12 characters, mixed case, numbers, and special characters
+
+## 🔐 First Login
+
+After deployment, you must complete the first login process which includes mandatory password change for security.
+
+### Step 1: Locate Your Admin Password
+
+1. **Find the auto-generated password** from the credentials file:
+   ```bash
+   # Docker deployment
+   docker compose exec backend cat /app/data/ADMIN_CREDENTIALS.txt
+   
+   # Or directly from the host (if you have access)
+   cat data/ADMIN_CREDENTIALS.txt
+   ```
+
+2. **Note the admin email** (default: `admin@example.com` unless customized)
+
+### Step 2: Access Admin Panel
+
+1. Navigate to your frontend domain and open the admin section:
+   - `http://your-domain.com/admin` (behind reverse proxy)
+   - `http://localhost:3000/admin` (Docker local)
+   
+   The backend at `:3001` serves API only and does not serve the admin UI.
+2. Login using:
+   - **Email**: `admin@example.com` (or your custom admin email)
+   - **Password**: The auto-generated password from the logs
+
+### Step 3: Mandatory Password Change
+
+Upon first login, the system will **automatically redirect** you to change your password:
+
+1. **You cannot skip this step** - it's enforced for security
+2. Enter the current auto-generated password
+3. Create a new secure password meeting these requirements:
+   - Minimum 12 characters
+   - At least one uppercase letter
+   - At least one lowercase letter
+   - At least one number
+   - At least one special character (!@#$%^&*)
+
+### Security Best Practices for New Password
+
+- **Use a unique password** not used elsewhere
+- **Consider a password manager** for generation and storage
+- **Include mixed characters**: `MySecureP@ssw0rd2024!`
+- **Avoid personal information** (names, dates, etc.)
+- **Save securely** - you cannot recover this password easily
+
+### If You Lose Access
+
+If you lose your admin credentials after the first login, you'll need to manually reset the password in the database or create a new admin user through the database.
+
+**Note**: The credentials file (`ADMIN_CREDENTIALS.txt`) is only created during initial deployment and contains the first admin password. After changing the password, this file becomes outdated but is kept for reference. If you need to regenerate the password and file during a reinstall, re-run the installer with the `--force-admin-password-reset` flag:
+
+```bash
+# Native reinstall example
+sudo ./picpeak-setup.sh --native --force-admin-password-reset
+
+# Docker reinstall example
+sudo ./picpeak-setup.sh --docker --force-admin-password-reset
+```
+
+The flag calls `scripts/reset-admin-password.js` in non-interactive mode, writes a fresh random password into `data/ADMIN_CREDENTIALS.txt`, and prints the new credentials at the end of the installer run.
+
+#### Configuring Admin Email
+
+By default, the admin email is `admin@example.com`. To use a different email address, set it in your `.env` file before first deployment:
+
+```env
+# .env
+ADMIN_EMAIL=your-email@yourdomain.com
+```
+
+**Note**: This only works on first deployment. To change the admin email after deployment, you'll need to update it in the database or create a new admin user through the admin panel.
+
+## 🔒 Reverse Proxy Setup
+
+For production deployments, you should use a reverse proxy for SSL/HTTPS. The application exposes ports directly, allowing you to use any reverse proxy solution.
+
+### Option 1: Nginx
+
+Install nginx and create `/etc/nginx/sites-available/picpeak`:
+
+```nginx
+server {
+    listen 80;
+    server_name your-domain.com;
+    return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
+}
+
+server {
+    listen 443 ssl http2;
+    server_name your-domain.com;
+
+    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/your-domain.com/fullchain.pem;
+    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/your-domain.com/privkey.pem;
+
+    # Frontend
+    location / {
+        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+    }
+
+    # Frontend (serves UI and /admin/*)
+    location / {
+        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+    }
+
+    # Backend API and protected resources
+    location /api {
+        proxy_pass http://localhost:3001;
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+    }
+    location ~ ^/(photos|thumbnails|uploads) {
+        proxy_pass http://localhost:3001;
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Enable the site:
+```bash
+sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/picpeak /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
+sudo nginx -t
+sudo systemctl reload nginx
+```
+
+### Option 2: Traefik
+
+Add labels to `docker-compose.override.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+version: '3.8'
+
+services:
+  frontend:
+    labels:
+      - "traefik.enable=true"
+      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak.rule=Host(`your-domain.com`)"
+      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak.entrypoints=websecure"
+      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt"
+      - "traefik.http.services.picpeak.loadbalancer.server.port=80"
+
+  backend:
+    labels:
+      - "traefik.enable=true"
+      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak-api.rule=Host(`your-domain.com`) && PathPrefix(`/api`)"
+      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak-api.entrypoints=websecure"
+      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak-api.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt"
+      - "traefik.http.services.picpeak-api.loadbalancer.server.port=3001"
+```
+
+### Option 3: Caddy
+
+Create a `Caddyfile`:
+
+```caddyfile
+your-domain.com {
+    # Frontend
+    handle /* {
+        reverse_proxy localhost:3000
+    }
+
+    # Backend API and admin
+    handle /api/* {
+        reverse_proxy localhost:3001
+    }
+    
+    handle /admin/* {
+        reverse_proxy localhost:3001
+    }
+
+    # Protected resources
+    handle /photos/* {
+        reverse_proxy localhost:3001
+    }
+
+    handle /thumbnails/* {
+        reverse_proxy localhost:3001
+    }
+
+    handle /uploads/* {
+        reverse_proxy localhost:3001
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### SSL Certificates
+
+For any reverse proxy, you can use Let's Encrypt:
+
+```bash
+# With Certbot
+sudo certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/certbot -d your-domain.com
+
+# Or use your reverse proxy's built-in ACME support
+```
+
+## 🔧 Maintenance
+
+### Viewing Logs
+
+```bash
+# All services
+docker compose logs -f
+
+# Specific service
+docker compose logs -f backend
+docker compose logs -f frontend
+```
+
+### Backup
+
+#### Manual Backup
+```bash
+# Database backup
+docker exec picpeak-postgres pg_dump -U picpeak picpeak_prod > backup/db_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).sql
+
+# Files backup
+tar -czf backup/photos_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).tar.gz events/
+```
+
+#### Automated Backup
+The application includes a built-in backup service. Configure it in the admin panel:
+1. Login to admin panel
+2. Go to Settings → Backup
+3. Configure destination and schedule
+4. Enable backup service
+
+### Updates
+
+#### Method 1: Using Pre-built Images (Recommended)
+
+```bash
+# Pull latest changes (for configuration updates)
+git pull
+
+# Pull latest images from GitHub Container Registry
+docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml pull
+
+# Restart with new images
+docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml down
+docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml up -d
+
+# Verify services are healthy
+docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml ps
+```
+
+#### Method 2: Building from Source
+
+```bash
+# Pull latest changes
+git pull
+
+# Rebuild and restart
+docker compose down
+docker compose build --no-cache
+docker compose up -d
+
+# Verify services are healthy
+docker compose ps
+```
+
+#### Specific Version Updates
+
+To use a specific version of the images:
+
+```bash
+# Edit docker-compose.production.yml to specify version tags
+# Change: ghcr.io/the-luap/picpeak/backend:latest
+# To:     ghcr.io/the-luap/picpeak/backend:v1.0.0
+
+# Then pull and restart
+docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml pull
+docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml up -d
+```
+
+### Database Migrations
+
+Migrations run automatically on startup, but you can run them manually:
+
+```bash
+docker exec picpeak-backend npm run migrate
+```
+
+## 🚨 Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### 502 Bad Gateway / Login Failures
+**This is the most common deployment issue!** Usually caused by misconfigured URLs or network problems:
+
+1. **CORS Configuration Errors**:
+   ```bash
+   # WRONG - Missing port will cause CORS errors
+   FRONTEND_URL=http://10.0.252.12
+   
+   # CORRECT - Include the port you're accessing from
+   FRONTEND_URL=http://10.0.252.12:3000
+   ```
+   
+   The backend validates Origin headers against `FRONTEND_URL` for CORS. If they don't match exactly, you'll get 500 errors on login.
+
+2. **After Container Restarts**:
+   - Nginx may have cached old container IPs
+   - Solution: `docker restart picpeak-frontend`
+   - Always wait 30-60 seconds for health checks
+
+3. **Backend Not Starting After Migrations**:
+   - The logs may only show migrations completed
+   - Check if server is actually running: `docker exec picpeak-backend ps aux | grep node`
+   - Should see `node server.js` process
+
+4. **Login After Fresh Install**:
+   - Check backend logs for auto-generated admin password: `docker compose logs backend | grep "Admin password"`
+   - Email: `admin@example.com` (or your custom admin email from .env)
+   - Password: Auto-generated and shown in logs (e.g., `BraveTiger6231!`)
+   - Remember: Password MUST be changed on first login
+
+5. **Complete Fix Sequence**:
+   ```bash
+   # 1. Fix your .env file URLs
+   # 2. Full restart
+   docker-compose down
+   docker-compose up -d
+   
+   # 3. Wait for healthy status
+   sleep 60
+   docker ps  # All should show (healthy)
+   
+   # 4. Test backend directly
+   curl http://localhost:3001/health
+   
+   # 5. Test through frontend
+   curl http://localhost:3000/api/public/settings
+   ```
+
+#### Port Already in Use
+```bash
+# Check what's using the port
+sudo lsof -i :3000
+sudo lsof -i :3001
+
+# Change ports in .env
+FRONTEND_PORT=3002
+BACKEND_PORT=3003
+```
+
+#### Docker Compose Variable Substitution Errors
+If you see warnings like:
+```
+WARN[0000] The "fgbf" variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string.
+```
+
+This means your password contains `$` which Docker Compose interprets as a variable. Solutions:
+1. **Best**: Generate passwords without `$`: `openssl rand -base64 32 | tr -d '$'`
+2. **Alternative**: Escape `$` as `$$` in your .env file
+3. **Example**: `DB_PASSWORD=Pass@#$$fgbf` instead of `DB_PASSWORD=Pass@#$fgbf`
+
+#### Permission Errors
+```bash
+# Fix ownership
+sudo chown -R 1000:1000 events data logs backup storage
+chmod -R 755 events data logs backup storage
+```
+
+#### Database Connection Issues
+```bash
+# Check if database is running
+docker compose ps
+docker compose logs postgres
+
+# Test connection
+docker exec picpeak-postgres pg_isready
+```
+
+#### Email Not Sending
+- Verify SMTP settings in .env
+- Check email queue: `docker exec picpeak-backend psql -U picpeak -d picpeak_prod -c "SELECT * FROM email_queue ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 10;"`
+- For Gmail, use app-specific password
+- Check logs: `docker compose logs backend | grep email`
+
+### Health Checks
+
+```bash
+# Backend health
+curl http://localhost:3001/api/health
+
+# Frontend health
+curl http://localhost:3000
+
+# Database health
+docker exec picpeak-postgres pg_isready
+```
+
+### Useful Commands
+
+```bash
+# Enter backend container
+docker exec -it picpeak-backend sh
+
+# Enter database
+docker exec -it picpeak-postgres psql -U picpeak picpeak_prod
+
+# Reset admin password
+docker exec picpeak-backend node scripts/show-admin-credentials.js --reset
+
+# Check disk usage
+df -h
+du -sh events/ storage/ backup/
+
+# View running processes
+docker compose top
+```
+
+## Security Recommendations
+
+1. **Use HTTPS**: Always use a reverse proxy with SSL in production
+2. **Firewall**: Only expose necessary ports (80, 443)
+3. **Secure passwords**: Use strong, unique passwords for all services
+4. **Regular updates**: Keep Docker images and system packages updated
+5. **Backup strategy**: Set up automated backups and test restoration
+6. **Monitor logs**: Regularly check logs for suspicious activity
+7. **Rate limiting**: The app includes built-in rate limiting, configure as needed
+
+## Support
+
+For issues and questions:
+- Check logs first: `docker compose logs`
+- Review documentation in the repository
+- Check existing issues on GitHub
+- Create a new issue with:
+  - Error messages
+  - Log output
+  - Environment details (without secrets)
+  - Steps to reproduce

-# Quick Fix for Migration Error
-
-## Immediate Fix
-
-The error "relation photo_categories already exists" occurs because the database already has tables but the migration tracking doesn't know they were applied.
-
-### Option 1: Use Safe Migration Runner (Recommended)
-
-Update your `docker-compose.prod.yml` to use the safe migration command:
-
-```yaml
-backend:
-  environment:
-    - NODE_ENV=production
-  # ... other config ...
-```
-
-Then update the `wait-for-db.sh` (already done) to use `npm run migrate:safe` in production.
-
-### Option 2: Quick Manual Fix
-
-If you need to fix the running system immediately:
-
-```bash
-# 1. Enter the backend container
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec backend sh
-
-# 2. Run the safe migration script
-npm run migrate:safe
-
-# 3. If that fails, manually mark migrations as applied:
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec db psql -U picpeak -d picpeak
-
-# In PostgreSQL:
-CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS migrations (
-  id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
-  filename VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
-  applied_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
-);
-
--- Mark existing migrations as applied
-INSERT INTO migrations (filename) VALUES 
-  ('init.js'),
-  ('004_add_categories_and_cms.js'),
-  ('006_add_photo_counter_to_categories.js'),
-  ('007_add_read_at_to_activity_logs.js'),
-  ('008_add_language_support_to_email_templates.js'),
-  ('009_update_german_email_templates.js'),
-  ('010_add_missing_email_templates.js'),
-  ('011_add_user_upload_settings.js'),
-  ('012_add_hero_photo_id.js'),
-  ('013_fix_email_links_and_date_format.js'),
-  ('014_add_default_welcome_message.js'),
-  ('014_add_host_name_to_events.js'),
-  ('015_add_login_attempts_table.js'),
-  ('016_add_auth_security_columns.js'),
-  ('017_add_token_revocation_tables.js')
-ON CONFLICT (filename) DO NOTHING;
-
-\q
-```
-
-### Option 3: Fresh Start (Nuclear Option)
-
-If you don't have important data yet:
-
-```bash
-# Stop everything
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml down
-
-# Remove database volume
-docker volume rm wedding-photo-sharing_postgres_data
-
-# Start fresh
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
-```
-
-## Root Cause
-
-The issue happens when:
-1. Database volume persists between deployments
-2. Migration tracking table gets out of sync
-3. The original migration runner doesn't check for existing tables
-
-## Permanent Solution
-
-The new safe migration runner (`migrate:safe`) handles this by:
-1. Checking if tables exist before creating them
-2. Catching "already exists" errors gracefully
-3. Auto-detecting existing schema and marking migrations as applied
-
-## Next Steps
-
-After fixing the migration issue:
-
-1. Create admin user:
-```bash
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec backend node scripts/create-admin.js \
-  --username admin \
-  --email admin@yourdomain.com
-```
-
-2. Check health:
-```bash
-curl http://yourdomain.com/api/health
-```
-
-3. Monitor logs:
-```bash
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f backend
-```

-# Production Deployment Guide
-
-This guide explains how to deploy PicPeak in production behind a reverse proxy like Traefik.
-
-## Environment Configuration
-
-### Frontend Configuration
-
-For production deployment behind a reverse proxy (Traefik, Nginx, etc.), the frontend should use relative URLs to automatically inherit the protocol (HTTPS) and domain.
-
-1. Copy the production environment template:
-   ```bash
-   cp frontend/.env.production.example frontend/.env.production
-   ```
-
-2. Set the API URL to use relative path:
-   ```env
-   # frontend/.env.production
-   VITE_API_URL=/api
-   ```
-
-   This ensures all API calls will use the same domain and protocol as the frontend.
-
-### Backend Configuration
-
-Ensure your backend `.env` file has the correct URLs:
-```env
-# backend/.env
-FRONTEND_URL=https://yourdomain.com
-ADMIN_URL=https://yourdomain.com
-```
-
-## Docker Compose Production
-
-When using Docker Compose in production:
-
-1. Build with production environment:
-   ```bash
-   docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml build --build-arg NODE_ENV=production
-   ```
-
-2. The frontend nginx configuration already includes proper proxy settings for:
-   - `/api` → Backend API
-   - `/photos` → Protected photo access
-   - `/thumbnails` → Thumbnail images
-   - `/uploads` → Public uploads (logos, favicons)
-
-## Traefik Configuration
-
-Example Traefik labels for docker-compose:
-
-```yaml
-services:
-  frontend:
-    labels:
-      - "traefik.enable=true"
-      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak.rule=Host(`yourdomain.com`)"
-      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak.entrypoints=websecure"
-      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt"
-      - "traefik.http.services.picpeak.loadbalancer.server.port=80"
-```
-
-## Important Notes
-
-1. **No Hardcoded URLs**: The application uses environment variables with relative URL fallbacks, making it production-ready.
-
-2. **HTTPS Only**: When `VITE_API_URL=/api`, all requests will use the same protocol as the page (HTTPS in production).
-
-3. **CORS Configuration**: The backend CORS is configured to accept requests from the URLs specified in `FRONTEND_URL` and `ADMIN_URL`.
-
-4. **Static Assets**: All static assets (photos, thumbnails, uploads) are served through the nginx proxy, inheriting authentication headers.
-
-## Verification
-
-After deployment, verify:
-
-1. Check browser console for any localhost URLs (there should be none)
-2. Verify all API calls use HTTPS
-3. Check that images load correctly with authentication
-4. Test favicon and logo display
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-If you see console errors about localhost:
-
-1. Ensure `VITE_API_URL=/api` in frontend environment
-2. Clear browser cache
-3. Rebuild frontend with production environment:
-   ```bash
-   cd frontend
-   npm run build
-   ```
-
-If images don't load:
-
-1. Check that nginx proxy locations are configured
-2. Verify authentication tokens are being sent
-3. Check backend logs for authentication errors

-# Production Deployment Fixes
-
-This document describes the fixes applied to resolve production deployment issues in Docker.
-
-## Issues Fixed
-
-### 1. Database Connection Error: "getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND postgres"
-**Problem**: The backend was trying to connect to hostname "postgres" but the database service is named "db" in docker-compose.
-**Solution**: 
-- Updated `knexfile.js` to use correct default host "db" instead of "postgres"
-- Added `depends_on: db` to backend service in docker-compose.prod.yml
-
-### 2. Backend Starting Before Database Ready
-**Problem**: Backend service started before PostgreSQL was ready, causing connection failures.
-**Solution**:
-- Created `wait-for-db.sh` script that waits for PostgreSQL to be ready
-- Updated Dockerfile to install postgresql-client and use the wait script
-- Script also runs migrations automatically on startup
-
-### 3. Email Processor Initialization Failure
-**Problem**: Email processor tried to initialize on module load before database was available.
-**Solution**:
-- Modified `emailProcessor.js` to export initialization functions
-- Updated `server.js` to call initialization after database is ready
-- Added proper error handling for email service initialization
-
-### 4. Missing Environment Variables
-**Problem**: Critical storage path environment variables were missing.
-**Solution**:
-- Added STORAGE_PATH, EVENTS_PATH, and ARCHIVE_PATH to docker-compose.prod.yml
-- Created `.env.example` documenting all required environment variables
-
-### 5. Enhanced Health Check
-**Problem**: Basic health check didn't verify database connectivity.
-**Solution**:
-- Updated `/api/health` endpoint to check database connection
-- Returns proper HTTP 503 status when unhealthy
-
-## Files Modified
-
-1. **backend/knexfile.js** - Fixed production database defaults
-2. **backend/wait-for-db.sh** - Created database wait script
-3. **backend/Dockerfile** - Added postgresql-client and wait script
-4. **docker-compose.prod.yml** - Added dependencies and environment variables
-5. **backend/src/services/emailProcessor.js** - Disabled auto-initialization
-6. **backend/server.js** - Added email initialization and improved health check
-7. **backend/.env.example** - Created environment variable documentation
-
-## Deployment Steps
-
-1. Ensure all environment variables are set according to `.env.example`
-2. Build and deploy with docker-compose:
-   ```bash
-   docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml build
-   docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
-   ```
-3. The backend will now:
-   - Wait for PostgreSQL to be ready
-   - Run migrations automatically
-   - Initialize all services in proper order
-   - Provide health status at `/api/health`
-
-## Verification
-
-Check deployment health:
-```bash
-curl http://localhost/api/health
-```
-
-Expected response:
-```json
-{
-  "status": "ok",
-  "database": "connected",
-  "timestamp": "2025-07-13T20:30:00.000Z"
-}
-```
-
-## Email Configuration
-
-Email service requires configuration in the database. If email is not configured:
-- The service will log a warning but continue running
-- Emails will be queued but not sent
-- Configure email settings in the admin panel after deployment
-
-## PostgreSQL Connection Fix
-
-### Issue: "no pg_hba.conf entry for host"
-This error occurs when PostgreSQL requires SSL but the client connects without encryption.
-
-### Solution:
-- Disabled SSL requirement for PostgreSQL in Docker environment (`ssl=off`)
-- Added proper authentication method (`scram-sha-256`)
-- This is acceptable for internal Docker networks where all traffic is isolated
-
-### Security Note:
-For production deployments exposed to the internet:
-1. Use SSL certificates for PostgreSQL
-2. Or ensure the database is only accessible within the Docker network
-3. Never expose PostgreSQL port (5432) directly to the internet

-openssl rand -base64 32
-
-# Generate Database Password
-openssl rand -base64 24
-
-# Generate Umami Hash Salt
-openssl rand -hex 32
-```
-
-## Deployment Steps
-
-### 1. Initial Setup
-
-```bash
-# Clone repository
-git clone https://github.com/yourusername/wedding-photo-sharing.git
-cd wedding-photo-sharing
-
-# Create required directories
-mkdir -p storage/events/active storage/events/archived storage/thumbnails storage/uploads
-mkdir -p data logs
-mkdir -p certbot/conf certbot/www
-
-# Set permissions (important!)
-chmod -R 755 storage data logs
-```
-
-### 2. Fix Docker Volume Permissions
-
-Create `docker-compose.override.yml` for local volume configuration:
-
-```yaml
-version: '3.8'
-
-services:
-  backend:
-    volumes:
-      - ./storage:/app/storage:delegated
-      - ./data:/app/data:delegated
-      - ./logs:/app/logs:delegated
-    user: "1001:1001"  # nodejs user
-
-  db:
-    volumes:
-      - ./postgres-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
-```
-
-### 3. Build and Deploy
-
-```bash
-# Build images
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml build
-
-# Start services
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
-
-# Check logs
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f backend
-```
-
-### 4. Create Admin User
-
-After deployment, create the first admin user:
-
-```bash
-# Enter backend container
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec backend sh
-
-# Create admin
-node scripts/create-admin.js \
-  --username admin \
-  --email admin@yourdomain.com \
-  --password <your-secure-password>
-
-# Exit container
-exit
-```
-
-### 5. Configure Email (if using database config)
-
-1. Login to admin panel: https://yourdomain.com/admin
-2. Go to Settings > Email Configuration
-3. Enter SMTP details
-4. Test email sending
-
-## Common Issues and Solutions
-
-### Issue 1: Migration Failures
-
-**Error**: "relation already exists"
-
-**Solution**: The safe migration runner handles this automatically. If issues persist:
-
-```bash
-# Reset migrations tracking
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec db psql -U picpeak -d picpeak
-
-# In PostgreSQL:
-DROP TABLE IF EXISTS migrations;
-\q
-
-# Re-run migrations
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec backend npm run migrate:safe
-```
-
-### Issue 2: Permission Denied Errors
-
-**Error**: "EACCES: permission denied"
-
-**Solution**: Fix container permissions:
-
-```bash
-# Stop containers
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml down
-
-# Fix permissions on host
-sudo chown -R 1001:1001 storage data logs
-
-# Restart
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
-```
-
-### Issue 3: Database Connection Failed
-
-**Error**: "no pg_hba.conf entry"
-
-**Solution**: Already fixed in docker-compose.prod.yml with:
-- SSL disabled for internal Docker network
-- Proper authentication method (scram-sha-256)
-
-### Issue 4: Frontend Can't Connect to Backend
-
-**Error**: CORS errors or connection refused
-
-**Solution**: Ensure environment variables match:
-- Backend: `FRONTEND_URL` must match your frontend URL
-- Frontend: `VITE_API_URL` must be set during build
-
-### Issue 5: Email Not Sending
-
-**Solution**: Check email configuration:
-
-```bash
-# Check backend logs
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs backend | grep email
-
-# Verify SMTP settings
-# Gmail users: Use app password, not regular password
-# Enable "Less secure app access" or use OAuth2
-```
-
-## SSL/HTTPS Setup
-
-1. Update `nginx/sites-enabled/default` with your domain
-2. Run certbot:
-
-```bash
-# Initial certificate
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml run --rm certbot certonly \
-  --webroot --webroot-path=/var/www/certbot \
-  -d yourdomain.com -d www.yourdomain.com
-
-# Auto-renewal is handled by the certbot container
-```
-
-## Monitoring
-
-### Health Checks
-
-```bash
-# Backend health
-curl http://localhost/api/health
-
-# Database connection
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec backend \
-  psql -U picpeak -d picpeak -c "SELECT 1"
-```
-
-### Logs
-
-```bash
-# All services
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f
-
-# Specific service
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f backend
-```
-
-## Backup and Restore

-## Production Best Practices
-
-1. **Always use named volumes** in production for better data persistence
-2. **Set up monitoring** with Prometheus/Grafana
-3. **Enable backups** with automated scripts
-4. **Use a reverse proxy** (Nginx) for SSL termination
-5. **Implement rate limiting** at the Nginx level
-6. **Regular updates** - Keep Docker images updated
-7. **Log rotation** - Configure log rotation for application logs
-
-## Troubleshooting Commands
-
-```bash
-# Check running containers
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml ps
-
-# Restart a service
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml restart backend

+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+Get PicPeak running in under 5 minutes:
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/the-luap/picpeak.git
+cd picpeak
+
+# Copy environment template
+cp .env.example .env
+
+# Edit configuration (required: JWT_SECRET)
+nano .env
+
+# Start with Docker Compose
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# Access at http://localhost:3005
+```
+
+Note on Docker file permissions (PUID/PGID)
+- When using bind mounts (e.g., `./storage`, `./data`, `./logs`, `./events`), ensure the container user can write to these host folders. The backend runs as a non‑root user by default.
+- Set `PUID` and `PGID` in your `.env` to match your host user’s UID/GID (run `id -u` and `id -g` on the host). Compose maps the container user to these values.
+- Example in `.env`:
+  - `PUID=1000`
+  - `PGID=1000`
+- Without this, creating events, uploads, thumbnails, or logs can fail with “Permission denied”.
+

-./setup-remaining-files.sh
-```
-
-This will create all remaining directories and files needed.
-
-### 3. Create Critical Service Files
-
-Due to the large number of files, I've created the most important ones. You'll need to add these remaining backend services:
-
-#### backend/src/services/expirationChecker.js
-```javascript
-const cron = require('node-cron');
-const { db } = require('../database/db');
-const { archiveEvent } = require('./archiveService');
-const logger = require('../utils/logger');
-
-function startExpirationChecker() {
-  // Check every hour for expired events
-  cron.schedule('0 * * * *', async () => {
-    await checkExpirations();
-  });
-  
-  logger.info('Expiration checker started');
-}
-
-async function checkExpirations() {
-  try {
-    const now = new Date();
-    const warningDate = new Date(now.getTime() + 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
-    
-    // Check for events needing warning emails
-    const eventsNeedingWarning = await db('events')
-      .where('is_active', true)
-      .where('is_archived', false)
-      .where('expires_at', '<=', warningDate)
-      .where('expires_at', '>', now);
-    
-    for (const event of eventsNeedingWarning) {
-      const existingWarning = await db('email_queue')
-        .where('event_id', event.id)
-        .where('email_type', 'warning')
-        .first();
-      
-      if (!existingWarning) {
-        await queueExpirationWarning(event);
-      }
-    }
-    
-    // Check for expired events
-    const expiredEvents = await db('events')
-      .where('is_active', true)
-      .where('is_archived', false)
-      .where('expires_at', '<=', now);
-    
-    for (const event of expiredEvents) {
-      await handleExpiredEvent(event);
-    }
-    
-  } catch (error) {
-    logger.error('Error checking expirations:', error);
-  }
-}
-
-async function queueExpirationWarning(event) {
-  const daysRemaining = Math.ceil((new Date(event.expires_at) - new Date()) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
-  
-  await db('email_queue').insert({
-    event_id: event.id,
-    recipient_email: event.host_email,
-    email_type: 'warning',
-    email_data: JSON.stringify({
-      event_name: event.event_name,
-      days_remaining: daysRemaining,
-      share_link: event.share_link
-    })
-  });
-  
-  logger.info(`Queued expiration warning for event ${event.slug}`);
-}
-
-async function handleExpiredEvent(event) {
-  try {
-    await db('events').where('id', event.id).update({ is_active: false });
-    
-    await db('email_queue').insert([
-      {
-        event_id: event.id,
-        recipient_email: event.host_email,
-        email_type: 'expiration',
-        email_data: JSON.stringify({
-          event_name: event.event_name

-}
-
-module.exports = { startExpirationChecker };
-```

-### 4. Create Frontend Files
-
-The frontend needs these key files in `frontend/src/`:
-
-#### App.js
-```javascript
-import React from 'react';
-import { Routes, Route, Navigate } from 'react-router-dom';
-import { AuthProvider } from './contexts/AuthContext';

+
+## 🌐 Access Methods
+
+### Direct Access (Simplest)
+- Docker: `http://your-server:3000` (frontend and admin at `/admin`)
+- Backend/API: `http://your-server:3001` (API only; no UI routes)
+  
+For native installs, serve the built frontend (e.g., with nginx or Caddy) and access the admin at `/admin` on the frontend domain.
+
+### With Domain & HTTPS
+If configured during setup:
+- `https://your-domain.com` - Gallery frontend
+- `https://your-domain.com/admin` - Admin panel
+
+### Behind Existing Proxy
+Add to your Nginx/Apache configuration (split frontend vs backend):
+```nginx
+# Frontend (UI + /admin/*)
+location / {
+    proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
+    proxy_http_version 1.1;
+    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+    proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
+    proxy_set_header Host $host;
+    proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
+    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+}
+
+# Backend API and protected resources
+location /api {
+    proxy_pass http://localhost:3001;
+    proxy_http_version 1.1;
+    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;

-# Traefik Deployment Guide
-
-This guide explains how to deploy the PicPeak application with Traefik as the reverse proxy.
-
-## Overview
-
-The application consists of:
-- **Frontend**: React app served by nginx (port 80)
-- **Backend**: Node.js API (port 3000)
-- **Database**: PostgreSQL (port 5432, internal only)
-
-## Traefik Configuration
-
-### 1. Docker Labels for Traefik
-
-Add these labels to your `docker-compose.prod.yml` services:
-
-```yaml
-services:
-  frontend:
-    labels:
-      - "traefik.enable=true"
-      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak-frontend.rule=Host(`picpeak.yourdomain.com`)"
-      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak-frontend.entrypoints=websecure"
-      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak-frontend.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt"
-      - "traefik.http.services.picpeak-frontend.loadbalancer.server.port=80"
-      # Priority for catch-all route
-      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak-frontend.priority=1"
-
-  backend:
-    labels:
-      - "traefik.enable=true"
-      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak-api.rule=Host(`picpeak.yourdomain.com`) && PathPrefix(`/api`)"
-      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak-api.entrypoints=websecure"
-      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak-api.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt"
-      - "traefik.http.services.picpeak-api.loadbalancer.server.port=3000"
-      # Higher priority for API routes
-      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak-api.priority=10"
-      
-      # Additional routes for backend static files
-      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak-uploads.rule=Host(`picpeak.yourdomain.com`) && PathPrefix(`/uploads`)"
-      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak-uploads.entrypoints=websecure"
-      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak-uploads.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt"
-      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak-uploads.service=picpeak-api"
-      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak-uploads.priority=10"
-      
-      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak-images.rule=Host(`picpeak.yourdomain.com`) && PathPrefix(`/images`)"
-      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak-images.entrypoints=websecure"
-      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak-images.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt"
-      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak-images.service=picpeak-api"
-      - "traefik.http.routers.picpeak-images.priority=10"
-```
-
-### 2. Network Configuration
-
-Ensure your services are on the Traefik network:
-
-```yaml
-networks:
-  picpeak:
-    external: false
-  traefik:
-    external: true
-
-services:
-  frontend:
-    networks:
-      - picpeak
-      - traefik
-      
-  backend:
-    networks:
-      - picpeak
-      - traefik
-      
-  db:
-    networks:
-      - picpeak  # Don't expose to traefik
-```
-
-### 3. Remove Nginx Service
-
-Since you're using Traefik, remove the nginx service from `docker-compose.prod.yml`:
-
-```yaml
-# Remove this entire service:
-# nginx:
-#   image: nginx:alpine
-#   ...
-```
-
-## Frontend Configuration
-
-The frontend is built with the API URL set to `/api`. This is important because:
-
-1. All API calls will be relative to the same domain
-2. Traefik will route `/api/*` to the backend service
-3. No CORS issues since everything is on the same domain
-
-## Environment Variables
-
-Ensure these are set correctly:
-
-```bash
-# Backend needs to know the public URLs
-ADMIN_URL=https://picpeak.yourdomain.com

-## Troubleshooting
-
-### 502 Bad Gateway Errors
-
-1. **Check if backend is running**:
-   ```bash
-   docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml ps
-   docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs backend
-   ```
-
-2. **Verify Traefik can reach the backend**:
-   - Ensure both services are on the same Docker network
-   - Check Traefik logs: `docker logs traefik`
-
-3. **Check backend health**:
-   ```bash
-   docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec backend curl http://localhost:3000/api/health
-   ```
-
-### Frontend Can't Reach API
-
-1. **Verify API paths don't have double `/api`**:
-   - Frontend should call `/auth/admin/login`, not `/api/auth/admin/login`
-   - The base URL in axios should be `/api`
-
-2. **Check browser console for actual URLs being called**
-
-3. **Ensure Traefik routing rules are correct**:
-   - API routes should have higher priority than frontend catch-all
-
-### CORS Issues
-
-Should not occur since everything is on the same domain. If you see CORS errors:
-1. Check that `FRONTEND_URL` and `ADMIN_URL` match your actual domain
-2. Ensure you're not mixing HTTP and HTTPS
-
-## Testing the Setup
-
-1. **Test API directly**:
-   ```bash
-   curl https://picpeak.yourdomain.com/api/health
-   ```
-
-2. **Test frontend**:
-   ```bash
-   curl https://picpeak.yourdomain.com/
-   ```
-
-3. **Test admin login**:
-   - Navigate to https://picpeak.yourdomain.com/admin/login
-   - Check browser console for any errors
-
-## Important Notes
-
-1. **SSL/TLS**: Traefik handles SSL termination, so the backend doesn't need SSL
-2. **Port Exposure**: Don't expose backend ports directly - let Traefik handle routing
-3. **Health Checks**: Configure Traefik health checks for better reliability
-4. **Rate Limiting**: Consider adding Traefik rate limiting middleware for API routes

-# Traefik Troubleshooting Guide
-
-## Common Issues and Solutions
-
-### 1. 404 Errors on API Routes
-
-**Problem**: Getting 404 errors when accessing `/api/*` routes
-
-**Causes**:
-- Traefik routing rules not properly configured
-- Backend container not healthy
-- Path stripping not working correctly
-
-**Solutions**:
-
-1. **Check container health**:
-```bash
-docker ps # Check if backend is running
-docker logs picpeak-backend # Check for startup errors
-```
-
-2. **Test backend directly**:
-```bash
-# Access backend container
-docker exec -it picpeak-backend sh
-
-# Test health endpoint
-wget -O- http://localhost:3000/health
-
-# Test public settings endpoint
-wget -O- http://localhost:3000/public/settings
-```
-
-3. **Check Traefik routing**:
-```bash
-# Check if routes are registered in Traefik
-curl https://traefik.yourdomain.com/api/http/routers | jq '.[] | select(.rule | contains("picpeak"))'
-```
-
-### 2. Backend Not Accessible Through Traefik
-
-**Key Configuration Points**:
-
-1. **Traefik Labels** (in deploy section):
-   - `traefik.enable=true` - Enable Traefik for this container
-   - `traefik.docker.network=proxy` - Specify which network Traefik should use
-   - `traefik.http.routers.picpeak-backend.priority=100` - Higher priority for API routes
-
-2. **Path Stripping**:
-   - Frontend expects `/api/*` but backend serves routes without `/api` prefix
-   - Middleware strips `/api` before forwarding to backend
-
-3. **Network Configuration**:
-   - Backend must be in both `picpeak` (internal) and `proxy` (Traefik) networks
-
-### 3. Environment Variable Issues
-
-**Critical Variables**:
-- `ADMIN_URL` and `FRONTEND_URL` must match your actual domain
-- These affect CORS configuration
-
-**Example .env**:
-```env
-# URLs
-ADMIN_URL=https://picpeak.local.nothaft.cloud
-FRONTEND_URL=https://picpeak.local.nothaft.cloud
-
-# Database
-DB_USER=picpeak
-DB_PASSWORD=your_secure_password
-DB_NAME=picpeak
-
-# JWT
-JWT_SECRET=your_secure_jwt_secret
-
-# Email (optional)
-SMTP_HOST=smtp.example.com
-SMTP_PORT=587
-SMTP_SECURE=true
-SMTP_USER=noreply@example.com
-SMTP_PASS=smtp_password
-EMAIL_FROM=noreply@example.com
-```
-
-### 4. Debugging Steps
-
-1. **Check if backend is receiving requests**:
-```bash
-# Watch backend logs
-docker logs -f picpeak-backend
-
-# Look for incoming requests when you try to access the admin page
-```
-
-2. **Test API routes directly**:
-```bash
-# From outside
-curl -v https://picpeak.local.nothaft.cloud/api/public/settings
-
-# Should see backend logs if request reaches container
-```
-
-3. **Verify Traefik middleware**:
-```bash
-# Check if stripprefix middleware exists
-curl https://traefik.yourdomain.com/api/http/middlewares | jq '.[] | select(.name | contains("picpeak"))'
-```
-
-### 5. Quick Fix Checklist
-
-- [ ] Backend container is healthy (`docker ps`)
-- [ ] Backend is in both networks (`docker inspect picpeak-backend | grep -A 20 Networks`)
-- [ ] Traefik labels use correct network (`traefik.docker.network=proxy`)
-- [ ] Priority is set correctly (backend: 100, frontend: 10)
-- [ ] ADMIN_URL and FRONTEND_URL match your domain
-- [ ] Database is accessible from backend
-- [ ] Migrations have run successfully
-
-### 6. Alternative Testing
-
-If Traefik routing is problematic, test backend directly:
-
-```bash
-# Port forward to test backend directly
-docker run --rm -it --network picpeak alpine/curl curl http://backend:3000/health
-
-# Or expose backend port temporarily
-docker run -d --name picpeak-backend-test \
-  --network picpeak \
-  -p 3001:3000 \
-  registry.local.nothaft.cloud/picpeak-backend:latest
-```
-
-Then access http://localhost:3001/health to verify backend is working.

+  - Performance testing with large files
+  - Detailed progress reporting
+
+## Running Tests
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+1. **For Unit Tests**: No special setup required, all dependencies are mocked.
+
+2. **For Integration Tests**: Requires a running S3-compatible service (MinIO recommended)
+   ```bash
+   # Start MinIO using Docker
+   docker run -d \
+     -p 9000:9000 \
+     -p 9001:9001 \
+     --name minio-test \
+     -e MINIO_ROOT_USER=minioadmin \
+     -e MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=minioadmin \
+     minio/minio server /data --console-address ":9001"
+   ```
+
+3. **Environment Variables** (for integration tests):
+   ```bash
+   # Optional - defaults work with local MinIO
+   export TEST_S3_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:9000
+   export TEST_S3_ACCESS_KEY=minioadmin
+   export TEST_S3_SECRET_KEY=minioadmin
+   
+   # Skip S3 tests if no S3 service available
+   export SKIP_S3_TESTS=true
+   ```
+
+### Running Unit Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all backup service tests
+npm test -- __tests__/services/backupService.enhanced.test.js
+
+# Run specific test suite
+npm test -- __tests__/services/backupService.enhanced.test.js -t "S3 Backup Functionality"
+
+# Run with coverage
+npm test -- --coverage __tests__/services/backupService.enhanced.test.js
+```
+
+### Running Integration Tests
+
+```bash
+# Ensure MinIO is running first!
+
+# Run S3 integration tests
+npm test -- __tests__/integration/backup-s3.test.js
+
+# Run with verbose output
+npm test -- __tests__/integration/backup-s3.test.js --verbose
+
+# Skip S3 tests if needed
+SKIP_S3_TESTS=true npm test -- __tests__/integration/backup-s3.test.js
+```
+
+### Running Manual Integration Tests
+
+```bash
+# Test with local MinIO (default)
+node scripts/test-backup-integration.js
+
+# Test with AWS S3
+node scripts/test-backup-integration.js \
+  --endpoint https://s3.amazonaws.com \
+  --access-key YOUR_ACCESS_KEY \
+  --secret-key YOUR_SECRET_KEY \
+  --bucket your-test-bucket
+
+# Test local backup
+node scripts/test-backup-integration.js --type local
+
+# Test with cleanup after completion
+node scripts/test-backup-integration.js --cleanup
+
+# Verbose output
+node scripts/test-backup-integration.js --verbose
+```
+

+
+### Service Management
+- ✅ Cron job scheduling
+- ✅ Service start/stop
+- ✅ Manual backup triggering
+- ✅ Backup history and status
+
+## Mock Setup
+
+The unit tests use comprehensive mocking:
+
+```javascript
+// Database mocking
+jest.mock('../../src/database/db');
+
+// S3 client mocking
+jest.mock('../../src/services/storage/s3Storage');
+
+// File system mocking
+const mockFs = require('mock-fs');
+
+// Cron job mocking
+jest.mock('node-cron');
+```
+
+## CI/CD Integration
+
+To run tests in CI/CD pipeline:
+
+```yaml
+# Example GitHub Actions
+- name: Run Unit Tests
+  run: npm test -- __tests__/services/backupService.enhanced.test.js
+
+- name: Start MinIO
+  run: |
+    docker run -d \
+      -p 9000:9000 \
+      --name minio-test \
+      -e MINIO_ROOT_USER=minioadmin \
+      -e MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=minioadmin \
+      minio/minio server /data
+
+- name: Run Integration Tests
+  run: npm test -- __tests__/integration/backup-s3.test.js
+```
+
+## Debugging Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run tests in debug mode
+node --inspect-brk ./node_modules/.bin/jest __tests__/services/backupService.enhanced.test.js
+
+# Run single test with console output
+npm test -- __tests__/services/backupService.enhanced.test.js -t "should perform S3 backup" --verbose
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- Integration tests create real files and S3 objects
+- Each test run creates a unique S3 bucket to avoid conflicts
+- Cleanup is automatic but can be disabled for debugging
+- Large file tests (10MB+) are included but can be slow
+
+## Adding New Tests
+
+When adding new backup features:
+
+1. Add unit tests to `backupService.enhanced.test.js`
+2. Add integration tests to `backup-s3.test.js` if S3-specific
+3. Update manual test script for comprehensive testing
+4. Ensure mocks are properly configured
+5. Document any new environment requirements

+# Security Logging Documentation
+
+## Overview
+This document describes the comprehensive security logging implemented in the PicPeak application to track authentication failures, rate limiting, and suspicious activities.
+
+## Log Files
+
+### 1. **security.log**
+- Location: `logs/security.log`
+- Contains: All security-related events (authentication, rate limiting, suspicious activity)
+- Max Size: 20MB with rotation (keeps 10 files)
+- Format: JSON with timestamp
+
+### 2. **error.log**
+- Location: `logs/error.log`
+- Contains: All error-level logs including auth failures
+- Max Size: 10MB with rotation (keeps 5 files)
+
+### 3. **combined.log**
+- Location: `logs/combined.log`
+- Contains: All logs (info, warn, error)
+- Max Size: 50MB with rotation (keeps 10 files)
+
+## Security Events Logged
+
+### Rate Limiting
+When rate limits are exceeded, the following is logged:
+```json
+{
+  "timestamp": "2024-01-18 14:23:45.123",
+  "level": "warn",
+  "message": "Rate limit exceeded",
+  "security": true,
+  "ip": "192.168.1.1",
+  "path": "/api/admin/login",
+  "method": "POST",
+  "authenticated": false,
+  "userAgent": "Mozilla/5.0...",
+  "referer": "https://app.example.com",
+  "origin": "https://app.example.com",
+  "headers": {
+    "x-forwarded-for": "192.168.1.1",
+    "x-real-ip": "192.168.1.1"
+  },
+  "requestUrl": "/api/admin/login",
+  "rateLimitInfo": {
+    "limit": 5,
+    "current": 6,
+    "remaining": 0,
+    "resetTime": "2024-01-18T14:38:45.123Z"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Authentication Failures
+
+#### Admin Login Failures
+- Tracked in `login_attempts` table
+- Logged with: IP address, username, user agent, timestamp
+- Account lockout after 5 failures in 15 minutes
+
+#### Gallery Password Failures
+- Tracked in `access_logs` table with action='login_fail'
+- Logged with: event_id, IP address, user agent
+- Gallery lockout after 5 failures in 15 minutes
+
+### JWT Validation Failures
+```json
+{
+  "timestamp": "2024-01-18 14:23:45.123",
+  "level": "warn",
+  "message": "JWT validation failed",
+  "ip": "192.168.1.1",
+  "path": "/api/admin/events",
+  "method": "GET",
+  "userAgent": "Mozilla/5.0...",
+  "error": "TokenExpiredError",
+  "message": "jwt expired"
+}
+```
+
+### Suspicious Activity
+- Multiple IPs attempting login for same account
+- Token usage from different IP than issued
+- Token usage after password change
+- Revoked token usage attempts
+
+## Configuration Settings
+
+All rate limiting settings are configurable via the admin panel:
+
+| Setting | Default | Range | Description |
+|---------|---------|-------|-------------|
+| rate_limit_enabled | true | - | Enable/disable rate limiting |
+| rate_limit_window_minutes | 15 | 1-60 | Time window for rate limit |
+| rate_limit_max_requests | 1000 | 10-10000 | Max requests for general endpoints |
+| rate_limit_auth_max_requests | 5 | 1-100 | Max requests for auth endpoints |
+| rate_limit_skip_authenticated | true | - | Skip rate limit for authenticated requests |
+| rate_limit_public_endpoints_only | false | - | Only rate limit public endpoints |
+
+## Database Tables
+
+### login_attempts
+```sql
+- id
+- username
+- ip_address
+- user_agent
+- success (boolean)
+- created_at
+```
+
+### access_logs
+```sql
+- id
+- event_id
+- ip_address
+- user_agent
+- action ('view', 'download', 'login_success', 'login_fail')
+- photo_id (nullable)
+- created_at
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+- `LOG_LEVEL`: Set logging level (default: 'info')
+- `LOG_TO_CONSOLE`: Enable console logging in production (default: false)
+
+## Monitoring Recommendations
+
+1. **Set up alerts for:**
+   - Rate limit exceeded events (possible DDoS)
+   - Multiple failed login attempts from same IP
+   - Account lockout events
+   - JWT validation failures spike
+
+2. **Regular review:**
+   - Check security.log for patterns
+   - Review login_attempts table for brute force attempts
+   - Monitor access_logs for suspicious gallery access patterns
+
+3. **Log analysis tools:**
+   - Use log aggregation tools (ELK stack, Splunk)
+   - Set up dashboards for security metrics
+   - Configure alerts for threshold breaches
+
+## Production Deployment Notes
+
+1. Ensure logs directory has proper permissions
+2. Set up log rotation outside of application if needed
+3. Consider shipping logs to centralized logging service
+4. Monitor disk space for log files
+5. Set `LOG_TO_CONSOLE=true` for container deployments
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+1. Never log sensitive data (passwords, tokens)
+2. Use generic error messages to prevent user enumeration
+3. Clean up old login attempts regularly (7 days retention)
+4. Monitor for unusual patterns in real-time
+5. Keep rate limit settings appropriate for your usage

+# Database Migrations
+
+This directory contains database migrations for the Wedding Photo Sharing platform.
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+### `/core`
+Essential migrations that are always run for new deployments. These include:
+- `init.js` - Initial database schema creation
+- Backup service tables (029-035)
+- Gallery feedback tables (033)
+
+### `/legacy`
+Migrations needed only when upgrading from older versions. New deployments can skip these as the core schema already includes all necessary tables and columns.
+
+## For New Deployments
+
+If you're deploying this application for the first time:
+1. The `initializeDatabase()` function in `src/database/db.js` will create all necessary tables
+2. Only migrations in the `/core` directory will be run
+3. This ensures a clean, optimized database schema
+
+## For Existing Deployments
+
+If you're upgrading from an older version:
+1. All migrations (both core and legacy) will be run in sequence
+2. The migration system tracks which migrations have been applied
+3. Only new migrations will be executed
+
+## Running Migrations
+
+```bash
+# Development
+npm run migrate
+
+# Production
+npm run migrate:prod
+```
+
+## Note on Duplicate Migration Numbers
+
+The legacy directory contains renamed duplicates:
+- `014_add_host_name_to_events_duplicate.js` (was duplicate of 014)
+- `027_add_rate_limit_settings_duplicate.js` (was duplicate of 027)
+
+These have been renamed to avoid conflicts while preserving the migration history.
