# Copenhagen Truck Wash API
Backend API for Copenhagen Truck Wash services.
## Architecture & Stack
- **Edge Proxy:** [Traefik 2.11](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/) (Handles TLS termination, routing, and rate limiting).
- **Web Server:** [Caddy 2.7](https://caddyserver.com/) (Serves the PHP application via FastCGI).
- **PHP Runtime:** PHP 8.2-FPM (Scale out with workers `php1` to `php5`).
- **Cache/Queue:** Redis 7.
- **Observability:** Jaeger (Tracing), Prometheus (Metrics).
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
- Docker Desktop 4.x+
- PHP 8.2 CLI (optional, for host-side testing)
### Local Development
To bring up the minimal development stack (Traefik, Redis, Caddy, and one PHP worker):
```powershell
docker compose up -d traefik redis php1 caddy
```
The API is accessible at:
- `http://localhost`
- `https://localhost` (using Traefik default cert)
- `http(s)://localhost/api/` (proxied with `/api` prefix stripped)
To start all services including multiple PHP workers and development tools (Jaeger, Portainer):
```powershell
docker compose --profile dev up -d
```
### Configuration
Configuration is primarily managed via environment variables.
- The application root is located at `services/nginx/app`.
- `services/nginx/app/config.php` loads configuration from the environment (requires `USE_ENV=true`).
- `php1` performs an automatic `composer install` on startup if `AUTO_COMPOSER_INSTALL=true`.
## Testing
The project uses a lightweight testing approach using procedural PHP scripts.
### Running Tests
Tests are located in `services/nginx/app/tests/`.
**From the host (requires PHP 8.2):**
```powershell
php services/nginx/app/tests/subusers/SelfservePermissionInitTest.php
```
**Inside Docker (recommended for integration tests):**
```powershell
docker compose exec -T php1 php /var/www/html/tests/subusers/SelfservePermissionInitTest.php
```
### Creating New Tests
Place new tests under `services/nginx/app/tests/<domain>/`. Every test should define the `WD` constant to point to the app root:
```php
if (!defined('WD')) { define('WD', dirname(__DIR__, 2)); }
```
## Logs & Monitoring
- **Logs:** `docker compose logs -f [service_name]` (e.g., `php1`, `caddy`, `traefik`).
- **Traefik Dashboard:** `http://traefik.localhost` (available in dev).
- **Jaeger (Tracing):** `http://localhost:16686` (when running with `--profile dev`).
- **Portainer:** `http://localhost:9000` (when running with `--profile dev`).
## API Documentation
- **OpenAPI:** The authoritative OpenAPI 3.0 contract is at `openapi.yaml`.
- **Writerside:** Documentation projects are located in `/Writerside` and `/Writerside2`.
