Docker Deployment Guide

This guide explains how to deploy the EzSepa Bank Payment landing page using Docker.

Prerequisites

• Docker installed (version 20.10 or higher)
• Docker Compose installed (version 1.29 or higher)

Quick Start

Option 1: Using Docker Compose (Recommended)

# Build and start the container
docker-compose up -d

# View logs
docker-compose logs -f

# Stop the container
docker-compose down

The application will be available at http://localhost:8080

Option 2: Using Docker Commands

# Build the image
docker build -t ezsepa-landing:latest .

# Run the container
docker run -d \
  --name ezsepa-landing \
  -p 8080:80 \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  ezsepa-landing:latest

# View logs
docker logs -f ezsepa-landing

# Stop and remove the container
docker stop ezsepa-landing
docker rm ezsepa-landing

Production Deployment

Using a Custom Port

# Change the port mapping in docker-compose.yml or use:
docker-compose up -d -p 80:80

Environment Variables

You can customize the deployment by setting environment variables:

environment:
  - NODE_ENV=production
  - PORT=80

Behind a Reverse Proxy (Nginx/Apache)

If you're deploying behind a reverse proxy, map to a different port:

docker run -d \
  --name ezsepa-landing \
  -p 3000:80 \
  ezsepa-landing:latest

Then configure your reverse proxy to forward requests to http://localhost:3000

Using Docker Hub

# Tag the image
docker tag ezsepa-landing:latest yourusername/ezsepa-landing:latest

# Push to Docker Hub
docker push yourusername/ezsepa-landing:latest

# Pull and run on any server
docker pull yourusername/ezsepa-landing:latest
docker run -d -p 8080:80 yourusername/ezsepa-landing:latest

Health Checks

The container includes a health check that runs every 30 seconds:

# Check container health status
docker ps
docker inspect --format='{{json .State.Health}}' ezsepa-landing

Nginx Configuration

The container uses a custom nginx configuration (nginx.conf) that includes:

• Gzip compression for better performance
• Security headers (X-Frame-Options, CSP, etc.)
• Static asset caching (1 year for images, CSS, JS)
• HTML no-cache for latest content
• Custom error pages

Volume Mounting (Development)

For development with hot-reload:

docker run -d \
  --name ezsepa-landing-dev \
  -p 8080:80 \
  -v $(pwd)/dist:/usr/share/nginx/html \
  ezsepa-landing:latest

Troubleshooting

Container won't start

# Check logs
docker logs ezsepa-landing

# Check if port is already in use
netstat -ano | findstr :8080  # Windows
lsof -i :8080                 # Linux/Mac

Permission issues

# On Linux, if you encounter permission issues:
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER dist/

Rebuild without cache

docker build --no-cache -t ezsepa-landing:latest .

Monitoring

Check resource usage

docker stats ezsepa-landing

Access container shell

docker exec -it ezsepa-landing sh

Cleanup

# Remove container
docker-compose down

# Remove container and image
docker-compose down --rmi all

# Remove unused Docker resources
docker system prune -a

Kubernetes Deployment (Optional)

For Kubernetes deployment, here's a basic manifest:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: ezsepa-landing
spec:
  replicas: 3
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: ezsepa-landing
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: ezsepa-landing
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: ezsepa-landing
        image: ezsepa-landing:latest
        ports:
        - containerPort: 80
        resources:
          requests:
            memory: "64Mi"
            cpu: "100m"
          limits:
            memory: "128Mi"
            cpu: "200m"
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: ezsepa-landing-service
spec:
  selector:
    app: ezsepa-landing
  ports:
  - protocol: TCP
    port: 80
    targetPort: 80
  type: LoadBalancer

Security Best Practices

1. Use specific image versions instead of latest in production
2. Scan images for vulnerabilities: docker scan ezsepa-landing:latest
3. Run as non-root user (already configured in the Dockerfile)
4. Keep base images updated: docker pull nginx:alpine
5. Use secrets for sensitive data instead of environment variables

Performance Optimization

The Docker image is optimized for:

• Small size: Multi-stage build (~25MB)
• Fast builds: Cached layers
• Quick startup: Alpine-based images
• Efficient serving: Nginx with gzip compression

Support

For issues related to Docker deployment, please check:

• Docker logs: docker logs ezsepa-landing
• Container status: docker ps -a
• System resources: docker system df
