where_woof/openspec/changes/deploy-admin/proposal.md

Why

The Laravel admin works in dev on .27:3030 (Phase 4). Phase 8 puts it live on .13:3030 behind the existing admin.where-woof.com Caddy block (user has added the DNS A records). Same shared Postgres, running via the same Docker approach as dev — no code changes.

What Changes

• Deploy admin/ to .13 (/home/sam/Docker/Containers/wherewoof-admin/): rsync source (exclude vendor/node_modules/.env), build the php:8.3 image on .13, composer install there, write .env pointing at the local Postgres (192.168.20.13:5434), docker compose up -d on :3030.
• Firewall: port 3030 must be allowed on .13's NixOS firewall (same as 3020) — user step.
• Admin user: already in the shared DB (admin@where-woof.com, is_admin) — no re-seed needed.
• Verify: localhost:3030 on .13 → 200; admin.where-woof.com via .35 Caddy once DNS propagates.

Capabilities

New Capabilities

• admin-live: the Laravel admin runs on .13:3030 as a Docker service, reachable via admin.where-woof.com through Caddy.

Modified Capabilities

Impact

• On .13: /home/sam/Docker/Containers/wherewoof-admin/ (Dockerfile, compose, app source), built image, port 3030.
• Repo: no code changes; deploy docs updated.
• Shared DB, users, tags all unchanged.
