Docker & GHCR Deployment

Containerized deployment of CodeNotify Server using Bun, Docker, Docker Compose, and GitHub Container Registry (GHCR).

Overview

CodeNotify Server is packaged into an optimized, multi-stage Alpine Linux image using the native Bun runtime. It runs with non-root security privileges on port 3999 and is published automatically to GHCR via GitHub Actions.

Prerequisites

• Docker 24+ & Docker Compose v2+
• GitHub Container Registry access (for prebuilt images) or local Docker build environment

Quick Start (with Docker Compose)

1. Navigate to Server Directory

cd server

2. Configure Environment

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your MongoDB URI, JWT secrets, and bot credentials

3. Start Container

# Pull and start the pre-built GHCR image (or build locally)
docker compose up -d

# View logs
docker compose logs -f

# Check health status
docker compose ps

Production Multi-Stage Dockerfile

CodeNotify uses a 3-stage Dockerfile to produce a minimal, secure production image:

# ==============================================================================
# Stage 1: Build & Verification Stage
# ==============================================================================
FROM oven/bun:1-alpine AS builder

WORKDIR /app

# Copy dependency definitions
COPY package.json bun.lock ./

# Install all dependencies (including devDependencies for build verification)
RUN bun install --frozen-lockfile

# Copy source code and TypeScript config files
COPY tsconfig.json tsconfig.build.json nest-cli.json ./
COPY src ./src

# Run build verification
RUN bun run build

# ==============================================================================
# Stage 2: Production Dependencies Stage
# ==============================================================================
FROM oven/bun:1-alpine AS deps

WORKDIR /app

COPY package.json bun.lock ./
RUN bun install --production --frozen-lockfile

# ==============================================================================
# Stage 3: Minimal Production Runtime
# ==============================================================================
FROM oven/bun:1-alpine AS runner

WORKDIR /app

# Set production environment defaults
ENV NODE_ENV=production \
    PORT=3999

# Copy production dependencies and source files with non-root ownership
COPY --from=deps --chown=bun:bun /app/node_modules ./node_modules
COPY --from=builder --chown=bun:bun /app/package.json ./package.json
COPY --from=builder --chown=bun:bun /app/tsconfig.json ./tsconfig.json
COPY --from=builder --chown=bun:bun /app/src ./src

# Use the non-root bun user (UID/GID 1000)
USER bun

# Expose the configured production port
EXPOSE 3999

# Container healthcheck
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=5s --start-period=15s --retries=3 \
  CMD bun -e "fetch('http://localhost:3999/health').then(r => {if (r.status !== 200) process.exit(1)}).catch(() => process.exit(1))"

# Start production server
CMD ["bun", "src/main.ts"]

GitHub Actions CI/CD Pipeline

The workflow .github/workflows/docker-publish.yml automatically builds and pushes multi-stage images to GitHub Container Registry upon push to main and semver tags (v*.*.*):

• Image URL: ghcr.io/celestial-0/codenotify-server:latest
• Cache: GitHub Actions Cache backend (type=gha,scope=codenotify-build)
• Tags Generated: latest, v1.0.0, 1.0, 1, sha-<short>
