Deployment Setup via IP Address

Current Setup

• Domain: quixy.uk configured with Cloudflare proxy
• Problem: SSH connection via domain doesn't work (Cloudflare only proxies HTTP/HTTPS)
• Solution: Deploy directly via IP address

Docker Compose Configuration

• Traefik currently configured with Host rule for domain
• Need to modify to accept connections by IP address

Options to modify Traefik labels in docker-compose.yml:

Option 1: Add IP to existing rule

- "traefik.http.routers.quixotic.rule=Host(`${DOMAIN:-localhost}`) || Host(`[server_IP]`)"

Option 2: Remove host restriction completely

- "traefik.http.routers.quixotic.rule=PathPrefix(`/`)"

GitHub Actions / CI/CD

• User will configure GitHub deployment to use direct IP address
• SSH connection: ssh user@[server_IP]
• No domain dependency for deployment process

Current Status

• Containers are running and healthy
• Need to update .env with DOMAIN=quixy.uk (but deployment will use IP)
• Website will be accessible via both domain (through Cloudflare) and direct IP
