Copenhagen Truck Wash API

Backend API for Copenhagen Truck Wash services.

Architecture & Stack

• Edge Proxy: Traefik 2.11 (Handles TLS termination, routing, and rate limiting).
• Web Server: Caddy 2.7 (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, MySQL debug DB, Caddy, and one PHP worker):

docker compose up -d traefik redis mysql-debug 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):

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.

Environment Change Runbook

When updating .env values used by PHP containers (for example e-conomic tokens), recreate affected services so Docker applies the new env:

docker compose up -d --force-recreate php1 php2 php3 php4 php5 php-cron

Testing

The project now uses Pest as the primary test runner in services/nginx/app.

Running Tests

All commands are run from services/nginx/app:

composer test
composer test:unit
composer test:integration
composer test:api
composer test:coverage

For local Docker development, run the PHP suites inside php1:

docker exec php1 sh -lc "cd /var/www/html && composer test:unit"
docker exec php1 sh -lc "cd /var/www/html && composer test:integration"
docker exec php1 sh -lc "cd /var/www/html && composer test:api"

Integration tests are opt-in and should be run with required services available:

$env:RUN_INTEGRATION_TESTS='1'
composer test:integration

API Test Suite

The Api suite exercises real HTTP endpoints instead of calling route handlers in-process.

• composer test:api enables RUN_API_TESTS=1 automatically.
• By default the suite starts a temporary PHP server with php -S 127.0.0.1:18080 index.php and hits the app over HTTP.
• The suite covers the real router, request parsing, auth headers, status codes, and JSON response envelopes.
• Tests run serially and use explicit database/Redis fixtures plus reverse-order cleanup instead of transaction rollbacks.
• The default phase-1 coverage includes /ping, auth session routes, departments, department categories, and orders CRUD including the legacy PUT /order alias.
• API server logs are written to services/nginx/app/build/logs/api-server.out.log and services/nginx/app/build/logs/api-server.err.log.

To point the suite at an already-running base URL instead of the self-started PHP server:

$env:API_TEST_BASE_URL='http://127.0.0.1:18080'
composer test:api

The suite requires an initialized application schema. Redis-backed flows are used when Redis is configured, but the suite can still boot without caddy or the full reverse-proxy stack.

Run Tests Against A Cloned Live DB (Docker-Isolated)

Use the helper scripts in scripts/ to:

1. Clone the configured live DB into a local MySQL Docker container.
2. Start an isolated Redis container.
3. Run tests in a separate temporary PHP Docker container pointed at that clone.

PowerShell:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\clone-live-db-and-test.ps1 -Force

Bash:

FORCE=1 ./scripts/clone-live-db-and-test.sh

Optional overrides:

• Test command: -TestCommand "composer test:integration" or TEST_COMMAND="composer test:integration"
• Keep containers after run: -KeepContainers or KEEP_CONTAINERS=1
• Skip image build: -SkipBuild or SKIP_BUILD=1
• Force image rebuild: -ForceBuild or FORCE_BUILD=1

Clone Live DB Into mysql-debug Service

To refresh the docker-compose debug DB from live credentials in .env:

PowerShell:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\clone-live-to-debug-db.ps1 -Force

Bash:

FORCE=1 ./scripts/clone-live-to-debug-db.sh

Test Layout

• tests/Unit/*: isolated unit and route-level behavior tests.
• tests/Integration/*: Redis/DB-backed tests intended for Docker/CI environments.
• tests/Api/*: real HTTP endpoint tests that boot a temporary PHP server and assert full request/response behavior.
• tests/Api/api_coverage_manifest.php: selected phase-1 endpoint manifest used by the API meta-test to enforce happy-path and failure coverage.
• tests/<legacy-domain>/*: legacy procedural scripts retained during migration; keep them runnable until matching Pest coverage exists.

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.
• Self-Serve Module Guide: Implementation and API guide at services/nginx/app/modules/selfserve/selfserve.md.
• Writerside: Documentation projects are located in /Writerside and /Writerside2.
• Generated Writerside API Reference: The active Writerside project lives in /documentation and is generated from openapi.yaml.

Writerside OpenAPI Generation Workflow

Prerequisite:

• Python 3 with PyYAML (pip install pyyaml)

Run from repository root:

python scripts/generate_writerside_openapi_docs.py generate
python scripts/generate_writerside_openapi_docs.py check

Contribution rule:

1. Update openapi.yaml.
2. Regenerate docs (python scripts/generate_writerside_openapi_docs.py generate).
3. Verify (python scripts/generate_writerside_openapi_docs.py check).
