🔧 Management Commands

Production Deployment Procedure

IMPORTANT: The correct deployment location is ~/VoiceAssist, NOT /opt/voiceassist. The production containers build from the project codebase at ~/VoiceAssist.

Standard Deployment (Schema/Code Changes)

# 1. Navigate to project directory cd ~/VoiceAssist # 2. Pull latest changes git pull origin main # 3. Rebuild the changed service docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f deployment/asimo-production/docker-compose.prod.yml build voiceassist-server # 4. Stop and remove the old container cd ~/VoiceAssist/deployment/asimo-production docker-compose stop voiceassist-server docker-compose rm -f voiceassist-server # 5. Start the updated container cd ~/VoiceAssist docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f deployment/asimo-production/docker-compose.prod.yml up -d voiceassist-server # 6. Verify health docker ps | grep voiceassist-server docker logs voiceassist-server --tail 50 curl https://assist.asimo.io/health

Quick Restart (No Code Changes)

# Using Docker Compose from project directory cd ~/VoiceAssist docker-compose restart voiceassist-server # Or restart all services docker-compose restart

Emergency Rollback

# 1. Checkout previous commit cd ~/VoiceAssist git log --oneline -10 # Find the commit to roll back to git checkout <commit-hash> # 2. Rebuild and redeploy docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f deployment/asimo-production/docker-compose.prod.yml build voiceassist-server docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f deployment/asimo-production/docker-compose.prod.yml up -d voiceassist-server # 3. Verify rollback curl https://assist.asimo.io/health

⚠️ NOTE: Avoid manual docker run commands for production deployments. Always use docker-compose to ensure proper network configuration, health checks, and restart policies.

Database Password Management

Important: PostgreSQL container passwords are set during initial database initialization and cannot be changed via environment variables alone.

If you need to reset the database password:

# 1. Connect to the postgres container docker exec -it voiceassist-postgres psql -U voiceassist -d voiceassist # 2. Run the ALTER USER command ALTER USER voiceassist WITH PASSWORD 'your_new_password_here'; # 3. Exit psql \q # 4. Update .env file to match # Edit ~/VoiceAssist/.env and update POSTGRES_PASSWORD # 5. Restart the API server to pick up new password docker-compose restart voiceassist-server

Verification:

# Test database connection from API server container docker exec voiceassist-server bash -c 'PGPASSWORD=$POSTGRES_PASSWORD psql -h postgres -U voiceassist -d voiceassist -c "SELECT 1;"' # Should return: 1

Common Issues:

  • FATAL: password authentication failed - Password mismatch between .env and database
  • Solution: Follow password reset procedure above to sync passwords

Service Management

# Using systemd (deprecated - use docker-compose instead) sudo systemctl status voiceassist sudo systemctl restart voiceassist sudo systemctl stop voiceassist sudo systemctl start voiceassist # Using Docker Compose (RECOMMENDED) cd ~/VoiceAssist docker-compose ps # Check status docker-compose logs -f # View logs docker-compose restart # Restart all docker-compose restart voiceassist-server # Restart specific service

Monitoring Stack

cd /opt/voiceassist sudo docker-compose -f deployment/asimo-production/docker-compose.monitoring.yml ps sudo docker-compose -f deployment/asimo-production/docker-compose.monitoring.yml logs -f sudo docker-compose -f deployment/asimo-production/docker-compose.monitoring.yml restart

Health Checks

# Manual health check script /opt/voiceassist/scripts/health-check.sh # Individual service checks curl https://assist.asimo.io/health curl http://localhost:8000/health curl http://localhost:9090/-/healthy curl http://localhost:3001/api/health

Logs

# Application logs sudo docker-compose logs -f voiceassist-server # Apache logs sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/assist-error.log sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/monitor-error.log # System logs sudo journalctl -u voiceassist -f sudo journalctl -u apache2 -f # Monitoring logs sudo docker logs voiceassist-prometheus -f sudo docker logs voiceassist-grafana -f

📝 Automated Tasks

Cron Jobs

Health Monitoring:

*/5 * * * * /opt/voiceassist/scripts/health-check.sh

Runs every 5 minutes to check service health and send alerts if needed.

Log Rotation

Configured via /etc/logrotate.d/voiceassist:

  • Apache logs: 14-day retention
  • Application logs: 30-day retention
  • Compressed after rotation

SSL Certificate Renewal

  • Managed by Certbot systemd timer
  • Automatic renewal before expiration
  • Check status: sudo systemctl status certbot.timer

🐛 Known Issues & Workarounds

1. cAdvisor Port Conflict

Issue: cAdvisor failed to start due to port 8080 already in use by Node process.

Impact: Low - Container metrics unavailable, but system metrics available via Node Exporter.

Status: Non-critical, monitoring still functional without cAdvisor.

Workaround (if needed):

# Find process using port 8080 sudo lsof -i :8080 # Either stop the conflicting process or change cAdvisor port in: # /opt/voiceassist/deployment/asimo-production/docker-compose.monitoring.yml

2. AlertManager Email Configuration ✅ RESOLVED

Issue: AlertManager was restarting due to SMTP configuration errors.

Resolution: Configured Hostinger SMTP with proper credentials:

  • SMTP Server: smtp.hostinger.com:587
  • Email: mo@asimo.io
  • TLS: Enabled
  • All alert notifications now sent to mo@asimo.io

Status: ✅ Resolved - Email alerts operational
