# Posse-Party Deployment Guide
**Posse-Party** - POSSE (Publish on Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere) platform for managing your social media presence.
## What is Posse-Party?
Posse-Party helps you:
- **Publish** content on your own website/platform
- **Syndicate** to other social media platforms (Twitter/X, Mastodon, LinkedIn, etc.)
- **Own** your content while still reaching audiences on other platforms
- **Cross-post** automatically to multiple platforms at once
## Quick Start
### 1. Generate Secret Key
```bash
openssl rand -hex 64
```
Copy this value - you'll need it for `SECRET_KEY_BASE`.
### 2. Create Environment File
```bash
cp posse-party.env.example .env
nano .env # or use your preferred editor
```
**Required settings to fill in:**
- `SECRET_KEY_BASE` - The value from step 1
- `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` - A strong database password
- `APP_HOST` - Should already be set to `posseparty.bendtstudio.com`
**Optional but recommended:**
- Email configuration (for login and notifications)
- OAuth providers (for social login)
### 3. Deploy via Dokploy
1. Log into Dokploy: http://192.168.2.130:3000
2. Create a new project
3. Upload the compose file: `posse-party-compose.yml`
4. Upload your `.env` file
5. Deploy!
### 4. Add DNS Record
In Technitium DNS (http://192.168.2.130:5380):
- Add A record: `posseparty.bendtstudio.com``192.168.2.130`
### 5. Access Posse-Party

The first user to register will become the admin.

## Maintenance
### Backup Database

docker exec posse-party-db-1 pg_dump -U postgres posse_party > backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).sql
```
### View Logs

docker logs posse-party-worker-1 -f
```
### Update to Latest Version
```bash

docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
```
## Configuration Details
### Email Setup (Optional but Recommended)
Posse-Party can send emails for:
- Account verification
- Password resets
- Notifications
See the `.env.example` file for supported providers (SendGrid, Mailgun, etc.)
### OAuth Setup (Optional)
Enable social login by configuring OAuth providers:
1. Create OAuth app at the provider (GitHub, Google, etc.)
2. Add callback URL: `https://posseparty.bendtstudio.com/auth/<provider>/callback`
3. Copy Client ID and Secret to `.env`
### S3/MinIO Storage (Optional)
By default, uploads are stored locally. To use S3 or MinIO:
1. Uncomment S3 configuration in `.env`
2. Set your credentials and bucket name
3. Redeploy
## Troubleshooting
### Service Won't Start
Check logs:
```bash
docker service logs posse-party-web-1 --tail 50
```
### Database Connection Issues
Verify database is healthy:
```bash
docker ps | grep posse-party-db
docker logs posse-party-db-1 --tail 20
```
### HTTPS Not Working
1. Check DNS record is correct
2. Verify Traefik labels in compose file
