Project Tracker - Docker Compose Deployment

Quick Start

git clone https://gitea.ledrew.me/ledadmin/project-tracker.git
cd project-tracker/deploy
docker compose up -d

App available at http://<your-server-ip>

First Run Notes

The SQLite database initializes automatically on first start (empty)
The database file is persisted in a Docker named volume (project-tracker-data)
Projects added through the web UI are stored in the database, not in the code

Seed Sample Projects

To populate with sample projects after first deploy:

docker exec -it project-tracker-api node -e "
const db = require('better-sqlite3')('/app/data/projects.db');
const items = [
  {name:'Bastion setup with Headscale/Tailscale',priority:'Medium',url:'',notes:'Use i3-4130T as hardened jump-box/gateway into homelab.',status:'Active',owner:'Ada',tags:'vpn,homelab,security'},
  {name:'Outline',priority:'Med-High',url:'https://www.getoutline.com/',notes:'Self-hosted knowledge base/wiki (Notion alternative).',status:'Backlog',owner:'Ada',tags:'wiki,notes'},
  {name:'Tinyauth',priority:'Med-High',url:'https://tinyauth.app/',notes:'Self-hosted zero-trust authentication platform.',status:'Backlog',owner:'Ada',tags:'auth,security'},

  {name:'Retro ROM Collection Organization',priority:'Low',url:'',notes:'Catalog and organize extensive ROM collection.',status:'Backlog',owner:'Ada',tags:'gaming,retro,emulation'},
];
const stmt = db.prepare('INSERT INTO projects (name,priority,url,notes,status,owner,tags) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?)');
items.forEach(i => stmt.run(i.name,i.priority,i.url,i.notes,i.status,i.owner,i.tags));
console.log('Seeded', items.length, 'projects');
