Task Manager — Cloud Deployment (SK1)

A full-stack task management web application deployed to Microsoft Azure using Docker Compose.

🏗️ Architecture

Container	Image	Port	Purpose
Caddy	caddy:2-alpine	443, 80	Reverse proxy + automatic HTTPS (Let's Encrypt)
Frontend	nginx:alpine	80	Static files + API reverse proxy
API	node:20-alpine	3000	Express REST API (CRUD)
PostgreSQL	postgres:16-alpine	5432	Persistent relational database
Redis	redis:7-alpine	6379	In-memory cache

🚀 Quick Deploy

# 1. Login to Azure (requires Azure for Students subscription)
az login

# 2. Clone and configure
git clone git@git.kemt.fei.tuke.sk:gs699he/zkt26.git
cd zkt26/sk1
cp env.example .env
nano .env    # Set POSTGRES_PASSWORD, optionally change DNS_LABEL

# 3. Deploy (creates VM, installs Docker, starts containers)
./prepare-app.sh

# 4. Visit: https://taskmanager-gs699he.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com

🗑️ Remove (after exam)

./remove-app.sh    # Deletes entire resource group (VM, IP, disk)

💾 Backup & Logs

./backup-db.sh              # Download database dump
./view-logs.sh              # All container logs
./view-logs.sh --api -f     # Follow API logs in real-time
