🚀 TurboTrades - Gitea Deployment Guide

Complete deployment guide for TurboTrades using Gitea self-hosted repository.


📋 Overview

Repository: https://git.turbotrades.dev/iDefineHD/TurboTrades.git
Server: turbotrades.dev
Deployment Method: Gitea Actions + SSH

Domain Structure

Server Paths

  • Backend Code: /root/ttbackend
  • Frontend Build: /var/www/html/turbotrades
  • Nginx Config: /etc/nginx/sites-available/turbotrades.conf
  • Logs: /root/ttbackend/logs/

🎯 Quick Deployment

For First-Time Setup

# 1. SSH into server
ssh root@turbotrades.dev

# 2. Clone repository
mkdir -p /root/ttbackend
cd /root/ttbackend
git clone https://git.turbotrades.dev/iDefineHD/TurboTrades.git .

# 3. Install dependencies
npm ci --production

# 4. Build frontend
cd frontend
npm ci
npm run build

# 5. Deploy frontend to nginx
mkdir -p /var/www/html/turbotrades
cp -r dist/* /var/www/html/turbotrades/
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/turbotrades

# 6. Configure environment
cd /root/ttbackend

SSH_PRIVATE_KEY -----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----... SSH private key for deployment

2. Generate SSH Key for Deployment

# On your server
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "gitea-deploy" -f ~/.ssh/gitea_deploy

# Add public key to authorized_keys
cat ~/.ssh/gitea_deploy.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

# Copy PRIVATE key for Gitea secret
cat ~/.ssh/gitea_deploy
# Copy entire output including BEGIN/END lines

3. Enable Gitea Actions

🐛 Troubleshooting

Backend Not Starting

# Check logs
pm2 logs turbotrades-backend

# Check if port 3000 is in use
netstat -tulpn | grep 3000

# Check MongoDB connection
mongo --eval "db.runCommand({ ping: 1 })"

# Check environment variables
cd /root/ttbackend
cat .env | grep -v "SECRET\|PASSWORD\|KEY"

Frontend Not Loading

# Check Nginx config
nginx -t

# Check if files exist
ls -la /var/www/html/turbotrades/

# Check permissions
ls -ld /var/www/html/turbotrades/

# Check Nginx logs
tail -f /var/log/nginx/turbotrades-error.log

SSL Certificate Issues

# Renew certificate
certbot renew

# Check certificate status
certbot certificates

# Test SSL
curl -I https://turbotrades.dev

WebSocket Connection Failed

# Check if backend is listening
netstat -tulpn | grep 3000

# Check Nginx WebSocket proxy
grep -A 20 "ws.turbotrades.dev" /etc/nginx/sites-available/turbotrades.conf

# Test WebSocket upgrade
curl -i -N -H "Connection: Upgrade" -H "Upgrade: websocket" https://ws.turbotrades.dev

Database Connection Issues

# Check MongoDB status
systemctl status mongod

# Restart MongoDB
systemctl restart mongod

# Check connection
mongo turbotrades --eval "db.stats()"

Gitea Actions Failed

  1. Check Actions tab: https://git.turbotrades.dev/iDefineHD/TurboTrades/actions
  2. Click failed workflow to view logs
  3. Common issues:
    • SSH key not configured
    • Secrets not set
    • Server unreachable
    • Permission issues

502 Bad Gateway

# Backend not running
pm2 status turbotrades-backend
pm2 start turbotrades-backend

# Port mismatch - check backend port
grep "PORT" /root/ttbackend/.env

# Nginx proxy config
grep "proxy_pass" /etc/nginx/sites-available/turbotrades.conf

🔒 Security Checklist

  • SSL certificates installed for all domains
  • Firewall configured (UFW or iptables)
  • SSH key authentication only (disable password auth)
  • MongoDB secured (authentication enabled)
  • Secrets properly set in .env (not hardcoded)
  • Rate limiting enabled (Nginx + Backend)
  • CORS properly configured
  • Security headers in Nginx
  • Regular backups configured
  • Log rotation enabled
  • Fail2ban installed (optional)
  • Server updates automated

Firewall Setup (UFW)

# Install UFW
apt install -y ufw

# Allow SSH
ufw allow 22/tcp

# Allow HTTP/HTTPS
ufw allow 80/tcp
ufw allow 443/tcp

# Enable firewall
ufw enable

# Check status
ufw status

📦 Backup Strategy

Automated Backup Script

# Create backup script
nano /root/backup-turbotrades.sh

backup-turbotrades.sh:

#!/bin/bash

BACKUP_DIR="/root/backups"
TIMESTAMP=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)

# Create backup directory
mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR

# Backup MongoDB
mongodump --db turbotrades --out $BACKUP_DIR/mongodb-$TIMESTAMP

# Backup backend code
tar -czf $BACKUP_DIR/backend-$TIMESTAMP.tar.gz /root/ttbackend

# Backup frontend
tar -czf $BACKUP_DIR/frontend-$TIMESTAMP.tar.gz /var/www/html/turbotrades

# Backup nginx config
tar -czf $BACKUP_DIR/nginx-$TIMESTAMP.tar.gz /etc/nginx/sites-available/turbotrades.conf

# Keep only last 7 days of backups
find $BACKUP_DIR -name "*.tar.gz" -mtime +7 -delete
find $BACKUP_DIR -name "mongodb-*" -mtime +7 -delete

echo "Backup completed: $TIMESTAMP"
# Make executable
chmod +x /root/backup-turbotrades.sh

# Test backup
/root/backup-turbotrades.sh

# Schedule daily backups (3 AM)
crontab -e
# Add this line:
0 3 * * * /root/backup-turbotrades.sh >> /var/log/turbotrades-backup.log 2>&1

📈 Performance Optimization

Nginx Caching

Add to server block in nginx config:

# Cache static assets
location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico|css|js|svg|woff|woff2|ttf|eot)$ {
    expires 1y;
    add_header Cache-Control "public, immutable";
}

# API response caching (optional)
proxy_cache_path /var/cache/nginx levels=1:2 keys_zone=api_cache:10m max_size=1g inactive=60m;

PM2 Cluster Mode

Update ecosystem.config.js:

instances: 4,  // Use multiple CPU cores
exec_mode: "cluster",

MongoDB Indexes

mongo turbotrades
// Add indexes for better performance
db.users.createIndex({ email: 1 }, { unique: true })
db.users.createIndex({ steamId: 1 }, { unique: true })
db.items.createIndex({ listed: 1, price: 1 })
db.trades.createIndex({ userId: 1, createdAt: -1 })
