Moheeb Zara 7eb83676e7 feat(notifications): P2e member self-view on /me + docs
getMyNotifications (service-client self-view, mirrors getMyBilling) +
a read-only Notifications section on /me. Docs updated in the same
change: ARCHITECTURE (Phase 2 subsystem + limitation #5), API_REFERENCE
(notifications section, fixed the stale no-auth-middleware claim),
DATABASE_SCHEMA + DB_SCHEMA_MAP (migration 041 + table), DEPLOYMENT
(env vars + dispatcher crontab), HANDOFF pass-45.

# Deployment
The supported production target is a single DigitalOcean Droplet running self-hosted Supabase plus the Next.js app behind Caddy with automatic HTTPS. The end-to-end procedure lives in [DEPLOY_DO_SELFHOSTED.md](./DEPLOY_DO_SELFHOSTED.md).
## At a glance
| Component | Hosted on |
|-----------|-----------|
| Database (Postgres) | Supabase container on the Droplet, data on a persistent block volume |
| Auth (GoTrue) | Supabase container on the Droplet |
| REST and Realtime | Supabase containers on the Droplet |
| App (Next.js) | systemd service on the Droplet, port 3000 |
| Reverse proxy | Caddy 2 on the Droplet, ports 80 and 443 |
| Email | Resend (SMTP) |
| Backups | Daily `pg_dumpall` to `/mnt/data/backups`, 14-day retention |
| Continuous deployment | GitHub Actions runs `/opt/hackerspace-ops/deploy.sh` over SSH on every push to `main` |
## Required environment variables
All variables are listed in [.env.example](../.env.example). At minimum:
- `NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL` — public Supabase API URL
- `NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY` — anon JWT, public
- `SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY` — service-role JWT, server-side only
- `NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL` — public URL of the deployed app, used in OAuth redirects
Optional:
- `NEXT_PUBLIC_OAUTH_GITHUB` / `NEXT_PUBLIC_OAUTH_GOOGLE` — set to `"true"` only for an OAuth provider you have actually configured in Supabase Auth. The login page hides any provider button that is not enabled, and hides the whole social-sign-in block if neither is set. These are build-time public values, so a change requires a redeploy to take effect.
- `RESEND_API_KEY` — Resend HTTP API key for transactional email. Unset means the notification outbox still fills but nothing is sent (dispatcher records each row as failed with "transport not configured").
- `EMAIL_FROM` — from address for all platform email, e.g. `HeatSync Labs <[email protected]>`. The domain must be verified in Resend (SPF + DKIM) for production delivery.
- `CRON_SECRET` — shared secret guarding the notification dispatcher. Generate with `openssl rand -hex 32`. Unset means the dispatcher returns 503 and never sends.
## How a deploy runs
1. A developer pushes to `main`.
2. GitHub Actions (`.github/workflows/deploy.yml`) opens an SSH connection to the Droplet using a deploy key stored in repository secrets.
3. The action invokes `/opt/hackerspace-ops/deploy.sh`, which:
- Fetches latest `main`.
- Runs `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`.
- Iterates over `scripts/0*.sql`. Any file not present in `public._migrations_applied` is applied and recorded.
- Restarts PostgREST to refresh its schema cache.
- Runs `pnpm build`.
- Restarts the `hackerspace-app` systemd unit.
- Probes the local app for a 200 response.
Migrations are idempotent. A redeploy that introduces no new migrations is a no-op on the database.
## Local development
See [LOCAL_DEV.md](./LOCAL_DEV.md) for the fresh-clone-to-running sequence using the Supabase CLI.
## First-time provisioning
For initial server provisioning (Docker, the Supabase stack, Caddy, firewall, SSH hardening, deploy-key registration, the systemd unit, backup cron), follow [DEPLOY_DO_SELFHOSTED.md](./DEPLOY_DO_SELFHOSTED.md) end to end.
### Notification dispatcher cron
Transactional email is an outbox drained by `POST /api/cron/notifications`. Add a once-a-minute root crontab entry on the Droplet (after `RESEND_API_KEY`, `EMAIL_FROM`, `CRON_SECRET` are set in the app `.env`):
```
* * * * * curl -fsS -m 30 -X POST http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/cron/notifications -H "Authorization: Bearer $CRON_SECRET" >/dev/null 2>&1
```
It hits the app locally (bypassing Caddy), self-throttles under Resend's rate limit, and is idempotent, so a missed or overlapping minute is harmless. Migration `041_notifications.sql` is applied automatically by `deploy.sh` like every other `scripts/0*.sql`; no manual database step.
## Operational checklist
- Monitor `/var/log/hackerspace-deploy.log` for deploy outcomes.
- Verify backups by restoring `pg_*.sql.gz` to a staging instance quarterly.
- Rotate the Supabase service-role key and JWT secret if the `.env` on the Droplet is ever exposed.
- Keep the host OS patched. The bootstrap installs `unattended-upgrades`.
