# Azione!Lab

A warm, editorial single-page website for a contemporary theatre workshop. Wagtail
provides an editor-friendly headless CMS, Astro renders the public site, PostgreSQL
stores content, and Docker Compose supplies a reproducible local environment.

## Architecture

- `backend/`: Django and Wagtail admin, content models, media uploads, and the
  aggregate read-only API at `GET /api/site/home/`.
- `frontend/`: Astro components, responsive design system, typed API adapter, and
  Italian fallback content for development when the CMS is unavailable.
- `nginx/`: reverse-proxy virtual host for `azionelab.org`, routing public requests to
  Astro or Wagtail.
- `postgres`: persistent CMS database.
- Docker volumes: `postgres_data` for the database and `media_data` for uploads.

See [the architecture document](docs/architecture.md),
[ADR-0001](docs/adr/0001-headless-wagtail-astro.md), and
[ADR-0002](docs/adr/0002-nginx-reverse-proxy.md) for the rationale.

## Prerequisites

- Docker Engine with Docker Compose v2.
- Ports `8080`, `4321`, and `8000` available on localhost.
- A local hosts-file entry mapping `azionelab.org` to `127.0.0.1`.

No host Python or Node.js installation is required.

## Start locally

```bash
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up --build -d
docker compose ps
docker compose exec backend python manage.py seed_demo
```

For local domain resolution, add this line to `/etc/hosts` using your normal system
administration workflow:

```text
127.0.0.1 azionelab.org
```

Open:

- public site: <http://azionelab.org:8080>
- Wagtail admin: <http://azionelab.org:8080/admin/>
- aggregate API: <http://azionelab.org:8080/api/site/home/>

Direct loopback ports `4321` and `8000` remain available for local diagnostics only.

The frontend remains usable with curated fallback content if the API is unavailable.
On first startup the backend applies migrations and collects static files before
starting Gunicorn. Wait until all four services report healthy.

## Create an editor account

```bash
docker compose exec backend python manage.py createsuperuser
```

Sign in to Wagtail at <http://azionelab.org:8080/admin/>. The public site has no user
accounts or authentication.

## Demo content

The seed command is idempotent and creates or updates the initial home page, site
settings, participation cards, teacher, lessons, shows, gallery entries, and local
placeholder images:

```bash
docker compose exec backend python manage.py seed_demo
```

Re-run it only when you intentionally want to restore the demo records. Content edited
after seeding may be overwritten for records managed by the command.

## Editing content

1. Open Wagtail admin and select **Pages** to edit the home hero, introduction,
   laboratory section, and the three participation cards.
2. Select **Settings > Site settings** for the workshop name and contact details.
3. Use **Snippets** for the teacher, lessons, shows, and gallery.
4. Publish page changes. Snippet and settings changes are returned immediately by the
   aggregate endpoint.

The frontend reads `PUBLIC_CMS_API_URL`; inside Compose it defaults to
`http://backend:8000`. Media URLs use `WAGTAILADMIN_BASE_URL` so browsers receive the
public reverse-proxy address. Change both values for another environment.
The standard published-page endpoint is also available at `/api/v2/pages/`.

## Useful commands

```bash
# Follow application logs
docker compose logs -f postgres backend frontend proxy

# Run database migrations
docker compose exec backend python manage.py migrate

# Run all required checks in containers
docker compose run --rm backend python manage.py test
docker compose run --rm frontend npm run check
docker compose run --rm frontend npm run build
docker compose run --rm proxy nginx -t
docker compose config --quiet

# Stop the stack without deleting content
docker compose down

# Stop and permanently delete local database and uploaded media
docker compose down --volumes
```

The final command is destructive. It is useful only when intentionally resetting the
local environment; run the seed command again after the next startup.

## Database and media backups

Database rows and uploaded files must be backed up together:

```bash
mkdir -p backups/media
docker compose stop frontend backend
docker compose exec -T postgres sh -c 'pg_dump -U "$POSTGRES_USER" "$POSTGRES_DB"' > backups/database.sql
docker compose cp backend:/app/media/. backups/media/
docker compose start backend frontend
```

This brief maintenance window keeps database rows and uploaded files in sync. See
[operations](docs/operations.md) for the destructive restore procedure and its
cautions. Do not commit database dumps, `.env`, or uploaded media.

## Production TODOs

This repository deliberately targets a simple, working local deployment. Before a
public production launch, add TLS certificates, production-grade static/media
serving, off-host backups, monitoring, and a deployment-specific secret manager.
