🏗️ System Architecture

ContainerOps follows a microservices architecture with the following key components:

1.Build Server

Analyzes project structure and generates optimized Dockerfiles

Builds Docker images from source code

Pushes built images to the integrated Docker registry

Handles GitHub webhooks for automated builds

2.Proxy Server

Manages container lifecycle (create, start, stop, remove)

Configures Nginx for domain routing and SSL termination

Handles user authentication and authorization

Provides API endpoints for the dashboard

3.Docker Registry

Stores and distributes Docker images

Manages image versioning and tagging

Provides secure access to container images

4.Monitoring Service

Collects container metrics and logs

Provides real-time updates via WebSockets

Monitors container health and performance

5.Database

Stores user data, repository information, and deployment configurations

Tracks container status and history

Maintains system settings and environment variables

🔄 Workflow

1.Authentication & Repository Selection

User authenticates through GitHub or Google OAuth

System requests appropriate permissions for repository access

User selects target repositories for deployment

System validates repository access and structure

2.Configuration & Setup

User provides deployment parameters (environment variables, resource limits)

System analyzes project structure to determine project type

User selects branch and deployment options

System validates configuration for potential issues

3.Dockerfile Management

System auto-generates optimized Dockerfiles based on project type

User can review and customize generated Dockerfiles

System uses existing Dockerfile if present in repository

Support for multi-stage builds and optimized caching

4.Build & Registry

System clones repository and builds Docker image

Build logs streamed in real-time via WebSockets

Built images are tagged and pushed to integrated Docker registry

Image metadata and version history maintained

5.Deployment Pipeline

GitHub webhooks trigger automatic deployment on code changes

System pulls updated images from registry

Container orchestration manages deployment updates

Zero-downtime deployments with health checks

Automatic rollback for failed deployments

6.Monitoring & Management

Interactive dashboard for container status monitoring

Live build and application log streaming

Resource utilization metrics and alerts

Complete container lifecycle management (scale, restart, stop)

Custom domain and routing configuration

🗄️ Database Schema

The ContainerOps database schema includes the following core tables:

1.Users

User authentication and profile information

OAuth tokens and permissions

User preferences and settings

2.Repositories

GitHub repository details and access credentials

Branch information and webhook configuration

Project type and structure metadata

3.Deployments

Container configuration and environment variables

Resource allocation and limits

Deployment history and versioning

Build and runtime logs

4.Containers

Container status and health metrics

Resource utilization statistics

Network configuration and port mappings

Related deployment and image references

5.Domains

Custom domain mappings and SSL certificates

Routing rules and load balancing configuration

DNS verification status and history
