# Deploying NoteGraph

## VPS Setup (First Time)

### 1. SSH into VPS and set up

```bash
ssh root@217.160.174.2

cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/DoctoDre/NoteGraph.git
cd NoteGraph

# Configure
cp .env.example .env
nano .env
# Set: SB_USER=admin:yourpassword
```

### 2. Add Caddy reverse proxy entry

Add to `/etc/caddy/Caddyfile`:

```
notes.andreknie.de {
    reverse_proxy localhost:3000
}
```

Then reload:
```bash
systemctl reload caddy
```

### 3. Start

```bash
docker compose up -d
```

### 4. DNS

Add an A record: `notes.andreknie.de` → `217.160.174.2`

### 5. Access

Open `https://notes.andreknie.de` — log in with the credentials from `.env`.

## Subsequent Deploys

Push to `main` → GitHub Actions deploys automatically (pulls + restarts containers).

## Git-Backed Notes

The `git-sync` container auto-commits note changes every 5 minutes. To push these to GitHub, set up a deploy key or token on the VPS:

```bash
cd /opt/NoteGraph/notes
git remote add origin https://github.com/DoctoDre/NoteGraph.git
# Or use SSH key for push access
```

## Architecture

- **SilverBullet** runs on port 3000 (Docker)
- **Caddy** handles HTTPS + reverse proxy
- **Notes** stored as markdown in `./notes/` (mounted volume)
- **Git-sync** container auto-commits changes
