# Installation Guide

This guide covers deploying Likwid for production use.

## Requirements

- **PostgreSQL 16+**
- **Rust 1.75+** (for building backend)
- **Node.js 20+** (for building frontend)
- **Container runtime** (Podman or Docker) - optional but recommended

## Quick Start with Containers

### 1. Clone the Repository

```bash
git clone https://codeberg.org/likwid/likwid.git
cd likwid
```

### 2. Configure Environment

```bash
cp compose/.env.production.example compose/.env.production
# Edit .env.production with your settings
```

Required settings:
- `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` - Strong database password
- `JWT_SECRET` - Random 64+ character string

### 3. Deploy

```bash
cd compose
podman-compose --env-file .env.production -f production.yml up -d
```

### 4. Access

- Frontend: http://localhost:4321
- Backend API: http://localhost:3000

## Manual Installation

### Backend

```bash
cd backend

# Install dependencies and build
cargo build --release

# Run migrations
export DATABASE_URL="postgres://user:pass@localhost/likwid"
sqlx migrate run

# Start server
./target/release/likwid
```

### Frontend

```bash
cd frontend

# Install dependencies
npm ci

# Build for production
npm run build

# Start server
node ./dist/server/entry.mjs
```

## Configuration Files

| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `compose/production.yml` | Production container deployment |
| `compose/demo.yml` | Demo instance deployment |
| `compose/.env.production.example` | Environment template |
| `backend/.env` | Backend configuration |

## Reverse Proxy

For production, use a reverse proxy (nginx, Caddy) with:
- HTTPS termination
- WebSocket support (for real-time features)
- Proper headers

Example nginx config:

```nginx
server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    server_name likwid.example.org;

    ssl_certificate /path/to/cert.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /path/to/key.pem;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4321;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    }

    location /api {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    }
}
```
