Phase 17: Docker Deployment Verification Report

Phase Goal: The application runs reliably in a Docker container on the production server — secrets are injected at runtime, email delivers correctly, uploaded files survive container restarts, and a health check confirms database connectivity Verified: 2026-04-03T23:15:00Z Status: PASSED Re-verification: No — initial verification

Goal Achievement

Observable Truths

# Truth Status Evidence
1 next.config.ts has output: 'standalone' enabling self-contained server.js VERIFIED output: 'standalone' present on line 4 of next.config.ts
2 Dockerfile uses node:20-slim with --platform=linux/amd64 on all 3 FROM lines VERIFIED All 3 FROM lines confirmed; grep -c "platform=linux/amd64" Dockerfile returns 3
3 SMTP secrets are injected at runtime via env_file, not baked into image VERIFIED docker-compose.yml uses env_file: .env.production; no secrets in any Dockerfile ARG/ENV line
4 Uploaded PDFs persist across container restarts via named Docker volume VERIFIED Named volume uploads:/app/uploads in docker-compose.yml matches standalone process.cwd()+/uploads
5 GET /api/health returns 200 OK when database is reachable, 503 when not VERIFIED Route runs SELECT 1 via Drizzle, returns {ok:true,db:"connected"} or {ok:false,error} 503
6 Database connection pool is limited to 5 connections VERIFIED postgres(url, { max: 5 }) confirmed in src/lib/db/index.ts line 12
7 SMTP DNS fix prevents EAI_AGAIN errors in container VERIFIED dns: [8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1] + NODE_OPTIONS=--dns-result-order=ipv4first in docker-compose.yml
8 seeds/forms directory is available inside the container for form library imports VERIFIED Dockerfile runner stage: COPY --from=builder /app/seeds ./seeds
9 DEPLOYMENT.md documents the full deploy workflow including migration step VERIFIED File covers: env setup, drizzle-kit migrate, docker compose up -d --build, health check

Score: 9/9 truths verified

From To Via Status Details
docker-compose.yml .env.production env_file directive WIRED env_file: .env.production present
docker-compose.yml Dockerfile build: context WIRED build: context: . dockerfile: Dockerfile present
Dockerfile server.js CMD directive WIRED CMD ["node", "server.js"] confirmed
src/app/api/health/route.ts src/lib/db/index.ts import { db } from '@/lib/db' WIRED Import present; db.execute(sql\SELECT 1`)` called
docker-compose.yml uploads volume /app/uploads named volume mount WIRED uploads:/app/uploads matches process.cwd()+'/uploads' in standalone

Data-Flow Trace (Level 4)

Not applicable — this phase produces infrastructure files (Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, config), not components that render dynamic data. The health endpoint is a simple passthrough probe, not a data-rendering artifact.

Behavioral Spot-Checks

Step 7b: SKIPPED — no running server available. The health endpoint requires DATABASE_URL to be set. Static code verification is sufficient for infrastructure artifacts (Dockerfile, compose, config files).

Behavior Command Result Status
health route exports GET file read + grep confirmed PASS
health route calls SELECT 1 grep "SELECT 1" route.ts confirmed PASS
health route returns 503 on failure grep "503" route.ts confirmed PASS
Dockerfile has 3 platform-targeted FROM lines grep -c "platform=linux/amd64" Dockerfile 3 PASS
No secrets baked into Dockerfile grep for PASSWORD/SECRET/KEY= in Dockerfile nothing found PASS

Requirements Coverage

Requirement Source Plan Description Status Evidence
DEPLOY-01 17-01, 17-02 App runs in Docker with production docker-compose.yml (node:20-slim, three-stage, not Alpine) SATISFIED Dockerfile confirmed 3x node:20-slim + --platform=linux/amd64
DEPLOY-02 17-01, 17-02 All secrets injected at runtime via env_file — not baked into image SATISFIED env_file directive in compose; no secrets in Dockerfile
DEPLOY-03 17-02 Email delivery works from container (SMTP connects to external SMTP server) SATISFIED DNS fix (dns array + NODE_OPTIONS) in compose; SMTP vars in .env.production.example wired to signing-mailer.tsx and contact-mailer.ts
DEPLOY-04 17-01 GET /api/health returns 200 OK when database is reachable SATISFIED Route exists, SELECT 1 via Drizzle, returns {ok:true} or 503
DEPLOY-05 17-02 Uploaded PDFs persist across container restarts (named Docker volume for uploads dir) SATISFIED Named volume uploads:/app/uploads in compose

Anti-Patterns Found

File Line Pattern Severity Impact
None

No TODO/FIXME/placeholder patterns found in phase-17 artifacts. No hardcoded secrets found in Dockerfile or compose files.

One notable observation: the .dockerignore contains .env* which would exclude .env.production.example from the Docker build context. This is correct — the example file is not needed inside the container image. It is committed to git for operator reference (confirmed: git ls-files .env.production.example returns the file). Similarly *.md excludes DEPLOYMENT.md from the build context, which is intentional.

Human Verification Required

1. SMTP Delivery from Container

Test: On the production server, after deploying with real SMTP credentials, submit the contact form or trigger a document signing. Confirm the email arrives in the recipient's inbox. Expected: Email delivered successfully; no EAI_AGAIN DNS errors in container logs. Why human: Cannot test SMTP connectivity without a live container connected to a real SMTP server. The DNS fix (dns array + NODE_OPTIONS) addresses the known Docker SMTP DNS issue, but confirmation requires an actual send from the deployed container.

2. Upload Persistence Across Container Restart

Test: Upload a PDF document via the portal, then run docker compose restart. Confirm the uploaded file is still accessible after restart. Expected: File still present and downloadable after restart. Why human: Named volume wiring is verified statically. Actual persistence requires running the container and restarting it.

3. Health Check Endpoint Live Response

Test: After docker compose up -d --build on the server, run curl http://localhost:3000/api/health. Expected: {"ok":true,"db":"connected"} with HTTP 200. Why human: Requires live DATABASE_URL pointed at Neon; cannot test without the running container connected to the database.


Gaps Summary

No gaps found. All 9 observable truths verified. All 5 requirements (DEPLOY-01 through DEPLOY-05) are satisfied by concrete code artifacts. All key links are wired. All commits (fa7d6a9, 57326d7, e83ced5, a107970, 72c23f8) exist in git log.

The three human verification items above are runtime behaviors that require a live container on the production server — they cannot be confirmed statically but there are no code-level blockers preventing them from succeeding.
