- Multi-stage Dockerfiles for web/api/generator (pnpm workspace install, tsx runtime — workspace packages are raw TS, same model as runner-template). - docker-compose.prod.yml: postgres + redis + the three app services. api/generator/web use host networking so the generator's host-port probe is correct and every service shares one address space; api + generator mount the Docker socket. Binds nothing on 80/443 — safe beside other apps. - Optional Traefik reverse proxy in infra/traefik/ (heavily gated — only if the box has no existing proxy). - .env.production.example, .dockerignore, DEPLOY.md (Cloudflare zone, GoDaddy nameserver switch, server deploy, Google Cloud Console OAuth app). - api/generator `start` now runs via tsx; `node dist/index.js` could never resolve the raw-TS workspace imports. All three images verified building clean; the API container boots under tsx. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Deploying buildmymcp.com
|
||
|
||
End-to-end runbook: domain → DNS → server → live, plus Google login.
|
||
|
||
This document is written to be executed in order. Steps marked **[you]** require
|
||
logging into a third-party account (Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Google) — those must be
|
||
done by a human; they are not automated here. Steps marked **[server]** run on
|
||
the host over SSH.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 0. What you are deploying
|
||
|
||
Five services, defined in `docker-compose.prod.yml`:
|
||
|
||
| Service | Role | Network |
|
||
|-------------|---------------------------------------------------|----------------|
|
||
| `postgres` | Primary database | bridge → loopback |
|
||
| `redis` | Queue + cache | bridge → loopback |
|
||
| `api` | Fastify control plane + OAuth server (port 4000) | host |
|
||
| `generator` | BullMQ worker — builds & runs generated MCP images| host |
|
||
| `web` | Next.js front end (port 3001) | host |
|
||
|
||
`api` and `generator` mount the Docker socket: the API removes generated
|
||
containers, the generator builds and runs them as host siblings on ports
|
||
4100–4999.
|
||
|
||
**The stack binds nothing on ports 80/443.** It is safe to run alongside the
|
||
other apps already on the box. A reverse proxy terminates TLS in front of it
|
||
(step 7).
|
||
|
||
### Server
|
||
|
||
Per `~/Desktop/DayZ/server_remote/README.md`, the box is a Hetzner machine at
|
||
`213.239.213.217`, Linux, root SSH. **Other production apps already run on it —
|
||
treat ports 80/443 and existing services as occupied until proven otherwise.**
|
||
|
||
> **Gitea / pipeline — unverified.** The request mentioned deploying "via the
|
||
> Gitea pipeline like the other projects." Nothing in the repo or the DayZ
|
||
> server repo confirms Gitea runs on this box, and the DayZ deploy workflow
|
||
> there is a manual `scp` + `systemctl` flow with no CI. Step 6 below gives a
|
||
> Gitea path **and** a plain `git`/`rsync` path — use whichever matches what is
|
||
> actually installed. Confirm with `ssh root@213.239.213.217 "docker ps | grep -i gitea"`.
|
||

|
||
|
||
## 1. Cloudflare — create the zone **[you]**
|
||
|
||
1. Log in to <https://dash.cloudflare.com> (your account — do this yourself).
|
||
2. **Add a site** → `buildmymcp.com` → pick the **Free** plan.
|
||
3. Cloudflare scans existing DNS. **Before changing anything, write down every
|
||
record it finds.** If `buildmymcp.com` currently points anywhere, those
|
||
records must be recreated here or that service goes dark.
|
||
4. Note the **two nameservers** Cloudflare assigns (e.g. `xxx.ns.cloudflare.com`).
|
||
You need them in step 3.
|
||
|
||
### DNS records to create in Cloudflare
|
||
|
||
| Type | Name | Content | Proxy |
|
||
|------|-------|----------------------|--------------|
|
||
| A | `@` | `213.239.213.217` | Proxied (🟠) |
|
||
| A | `api` | `213.239.213.217` | Proxied (🟠) |
|
||
| A | `www` | `213.239.213.217` | Proxied (🟠) |
|
||
|
||
> If you issue TLS certificates with Let's Encrypt HTTP-01 (step 7, optional
|
||
> Traefik), set the records to **DNS only (grey cloud)** first, issue the cert,
|
||
> then switch to **Proxied**. With a Cloudflare Origin Certificate this is not
|
||
> needed — see step 7.
|
||
|
||
**SSL/TLS mode:** set to **Full (strict)** once the origin has a real
|
||
certificate. Use **Full** in the interim. Never use **Flexible**.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 2. ⚠️ Order of operations — read before step 3
|
||
|
||
The single way this deploy can take a site offline:
|
||
|
||
> **Recreate ALL existing DNS records in Cloudflare (step 1) BEFORE changing the
|
||
> nameservers at GoDaddy (step 3).**
|
||
|
||
Once GoDaddy points at Cloudflare, Cloudflare's zone becomes authoritative.
|
||
Anything not copied into it stops resolving — email (MX), other subdomains,
|
||
verification TXT records, everything. Copy first, switch second.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 3. GoDaddy — point the domain at Cloudflare **[you]**
|
||
|
||
Only after step 1's records exist in Cloudflare:
|
||
|
||
1. Log in to <https://dcc.godaddy.com> (your account — do this yourself).
|
||
2. Find `buildmymcp.com` → **Domain Settings** → **Nameservers** → **Change**.
|
||
3. Choose **Enter my own nameservers (custom)**.
|
||
4. Replace GoDaddy's nameservers with the two from Cloudflare (step 1.4).
|
||
5. Save. Propagation is usually minutes, up to 24 h.
|
||
6. Cloudflare's dashboard shows the zone as **Active** when it has taken over.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 4. Server prep **[server]**
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
ssh root@213.239.213.217
|
||
|
||
# Docker + compose plugin (skip any that are already present)
|
||
docker --version || curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh
|
||
docker compose version
|
||
|
||
# Confirm what already uses 80/443 — do NOT disturb it
|
||
ss -ltnp '( sport = :80 or sport = :443 )'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Firewall: only `22`, `80`, `443` should be open to the internet. The app ports
|
||
(`3001`, `4000`, `5440`, `6390`) must stay private — they are reachable only
|
||
over loopback / the proxy.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 5. Get the code onto the server **[server]**
|
||
|
||
Pick the path that matches the box.
|
||
|
||
**Option A — Gitea pipeline** (only if Gitea is actually installed):
|
||
push this repo to the Gitea instance, then have its Actions runner (or your
|
||
existing deploy pipeline) check out the repo to `/opt/buildmymcp` and run the
|
||
commands in step 6. Mirror whatever the other projects on this box already do.
|
||
|
||
**Option B — plain git / rsync** (always works):
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
mkdir -p /opt/buildmymcp
|
||
# from your workstation:
|
||
rsync -az --delete --exclude node_modules --exclude .git \
|
||
~/Desktop/buildmymcpserver.com/ root@213.239.213.217:/opt/buildmymcp/
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 6. Configure and start the stack **[server]**
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cd /opt/buildmymcp
|
||
|
||
# 1. Create the production env file from the template
|
||
cp .env.production.example .env.production
|
||
openssl rand -hex 32 # paste into SECRETS_ENCRYPTION_KEY
|
||
nano .env.production # fill every CHANGE-ME value
|
||
|
||
# 2. Build and start
|
||
docker compose --env-file .env.production -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d --build
|
||
|
||
# 3. Push the database schema (one-time, and after any schema change)
|
||
docker compose --env-file .env.production -f docker-compose.prod.yml \
|
||
exec api pnpm --filter @bmm/db push
|
||
|
||
# 4. Watch it come up
|
||
docker compose --env-file .env.production -f docker-compose.prod.yml ps
|
||
docker compose --env-file .env.production -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f api
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`.env.production` values that must be correct before first boot:
|
||
|
||
- `SECRETS_ENCRYPTION_KEY` — real 32-byte hex. The API **refuses to boot** in
|
||
production on the all-zero placeholder.
|
||
- `DATABASE_URL` password must match `POSTGRES_PASSWORD`.
|
||
- `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL` is compiled into the web bundle — rebuild `web` if you
|
||
change it (`up -d --build web`).
|
||
- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` — empty runs mock generation; set it for real Claude output.
|
||
|
||
Health check: `curl http://127.0.0.1:4000/health` → `{"ok":true,...}`.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 7. Reverse proxy + TLS **[server]**
|
||
|
||
**First: is there already a proxy?**
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
ss -ltnp '( sport = :80 or sport = :443 )'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- **Something already listens** (the other live apps' proxy): add two vhosts to
|
||
that proxy and **skip the Traefik option**:
|
||
- `buildmymcp.com`, `www.buildmymcp.com` → `http://127.0.0.1:3001`
|
||
- `api.buildmymcp.com` → `http://127.0.0.1:4000`
|
||
|
||
- **Nothing listens** on 80/443: use the optional Traefik in `infra/traefik/`:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cd /opt/buildmymcp/infra/traefik
|
||
cp .env.example .env # set ACME_EMAIL
|
||
docker compose --env-file .env -f docker-compose.traefik.yml up -d
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`dynamic.yml` already routes the three hostnames to the loopback ports.
|
||
|
||
> **Let's Encrypt + Cloudflare:** HTTP-01 issuance works most reliably while the
|
||
> Cloudflare records are **DNS only (grey cloud)**. Issue the cert, confirm
|
||
> HTTPS, then flip the records to **Proxied (orange)**.
|
||
> Alternative: generate a **Cloudflare Origin Certificate** (15-year, in the
|
||
> Cloudflare dashboard → SSL/TLS → Origin Server), drop the cert + key into the
|
||
> proxy, and skip ACME entirely. Then set Cloudflare SSL to **Full (strict)**.
|
||
|
||
> **Generated MCP servers** currently get a `http://RUNNER_HOST:<port>` URL and
|
||
> are not yet routed through the proxy by subdomain. Wiring `*.mcp.buildmymcp.com`
|
||
> to the dynamic runner ports is a follow-up before opening generated servers to
|
||
> the public internet.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 8. Google login — Google Cloud Console **[you]**
|
||
|
||
1. Log in to <https://console.cloud.google.com> (your account — do this yourself).
|
||
2. **Create a project** — e.g. `buildmymcp`.
|
||
3. **APIs & Services → OAuth consent screen:**
|
||
- User type: **External**.
|
||
- App name `BuildMyMCP`, support email, developer contact.
|
||
- Scopes: `openid`, `.../auth/userinfo.email`, `.../auth/userinfo.profile`.
|
||
- Add yourself as a **test user**, or **Publish** the app for public sign-in.
|
||
4. **APIs & Services → Credentials → Create credentials → OAuth client ID:**
|
||
- Application type: **Web application**.
|
||
- **Authorized redirect URI** — must be exact:
|
||
```
|
||
https://api.buildmymcp.com/v1/auth/google/callback
|
||
```
|
||
- (For local testing also add `http://localhost:4000/v1/auth/google/callback`.)
|
||
5. Copy the **Client ID** and **Client secret** into `.env.production`:
|
||
```
|
||
GOOGLE_OAUTH_ID=...apps.googleusercontent.com
|
||
GOOGLE_OAUTH_SECRET=...
|
||
```
|
||
6. Restart the API so it picks them up:
|
||
```bash
|
||
docker compose --env-file .env.production -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d api
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The redirect URI is derived from `CONTROL_PLANE_PUBLIC_URL`. If that is not
|
||
`https://api.buildmymcp.com`, the URI registered in Google must match whatever
|
||
it is. When `GOOGLE_OAUTH_ID`/`SECRET` are set, the login page shows the
|
||
**Continue with Google** button automatically; when unset it is hidden.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 9. Verify live
|
||
|
||
- `https://buildmymcp.com` — landing page loads over HTTPS.
|
||
- `https://api.buildmymcp.com/health` — `{"ok":true,...}`.
|
||
- `https://buildmymcp.com/login` — magic link **and** Continue with Google.
|
||
- Sign in with Google → lands on `/dashboard`.
|
||
- `https://buildmymcp.com/admin/login` — admin login with `ADMIN_EMAIL` /
|
||
`ADMIN_PASSWORD`.
|
||
- Create a server in the wizard → build reaches `live`.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 10. Operations
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cd /opt/buildmymcp
|
||
C="docker compose --env-file .env.production -f docker-compose.prod.yml"
|
||
|
||
$C ps # status
|
||
$C logs -f generator # tail a service
|
||
$C up -d --build # redeploy after a code change
|
||
$C up -d --build web # rebuild only web (e.g. NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL changed)
|
||
$C restart api # restart one service
|
||
$C down # stop the stack (volumes/data preserved)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Rollback:** `$C down` then redeploy the previous commit. Named volumes
|
||
(`bmm_pg`, `bmm_redis`, `bmm_keys`, `bmm_build_context`) survive `down`, so data
|
||
and OAuth signing keys persist. `down -v` would destroy them — do not use it.
|
||
|
||
**Back up the database before any schema change:**
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$C exec postgres pg_dump -U bmm bmm > backup-$(date +%F).sql
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Known follow-ups (not blockers, but track them)
|
||
|
||
1. Per-server subdomain routing (`*.mcp.buildmymcp.com`) for generated MCP
|
||
servers — not yet wired (step 7).
|
||
2. Magic-link email is printed to the API log in all environments — wire a real
|
||
transport (Resend / SES) before relying on email sign-in in production.
|
||
3. CI/CD: if a Gitea pipeline is adopted, the deploy step is exactly the step 6
|
||
commands.
|
