# Local Kanban Nginx

## Current User-Mode HTTPS Proxy

This repo includes a user-mode Nginx config that does not require sudo:

```bash
nginx -c /home/gahow/projects/kanban/deploy/nginx.user-8443.conf \
  -p /home/gahow/projects/kanban/.nginx
```

It listens on:

```text
https://gahow-pc.ipads-lab.se.sjtu.edu.cn:8443
```

It uses the self-signed certificate under `deploy/certs/`, so browsers will show a certificate warning unless the certificate is trusted locally.

Reload it with:

```bash
nginx -s reload \
  -c /home/gahow/projects/kanban/deploy/nginx.user-8443.conf \
  -p /home/gahow/projects/kanban/.nginx
```

Stop it with:

```bash
nginx -s stop \
  -c /home/gahow/projects/kanban/deploy/nginx.user-8443.conf \
  -p /home/gahow/projects/kanban/.nginx
```

## Production 443 Proxy

For port 443, install `deploy/nginx.local-kanban.conf` into the system Nginx site directory and use a trusted certificate. The root domain serves the portal page, and individual apps keep their own ports:

```bash
sudo cp deploy/nginx.local-kanban.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/local-kanban
sudo ln -sf /etc/nginx/sites-available/local-kanban /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/local-kanban
sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl reload nginx
```

The install script intentionally does not bind port 80 by default, because another local service may already own it. Enable HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect only when port 80 is free:

```bash
KANBAN_ENABLE_HTTP_REDIRECT=1 ./scripts/install-nginx-system.sh
```

The Node app should run only on localhost behind Nginx:

```bash
KANBAN_HOST=127.0.0.1 \
KANBAN_PORT=5180 \
KANBAN_AUTH_SECURE_COOKIE=1 \
KANBAN_REQUIRE_HTTPS=1 \
npm start
```

Kanban is then normally reached through the user-mode HTTPS proxy on:

```text
https://gahow-pc.ipads-lab.se.sjtu.edu.cn:8443/
```

## Persistent User Services

Use the user-level systemd units when the service should stay up without an open shell:

```bash
./scripts/install-user-systemd.sh
```

This installs and starts:

```text
local-kanban.service
local-kanban-nginx-8443.service
```

Check them with:

```bash
systemctl --user status local-kanban.service
systemctl --user status local-kanban-nginx-8443.service
```
