The split backend's Python package data/ lives at /app/data; mounting the
appdata runtime volume there erased data/*.py and broke import at boot. Point
THERMOGRAPH_DATA_DIR + the appdata mount + the singleton lock at /state,
outside the code tree. Pairs with thermograph-backend paths.py making
DATA_DIR/LOGS_DIR env-overridable.
backend and frontend now reference their own images (BACKEND_IMAGE_PATH/TAG,
FRONTEND_IMAGE_PATH/TAG) instead of the shared emi/thermograph/app. deploy.sh
takes SERVICE=backend|frontend|all, rolls just that service with --no-deps,
persists each service's live tag in deploy/.image-tags.env so a single-service
deploy never disturbs the sibling, and fixes the old IMAGE_TAG:? guard that
made every workflow deploy hard-fail. Health-checks per service (8137/8080).

* Split web/worker duties with THERMOGRAPH_ROLE
Background work (the subscription notifier) is welded to the same process
that serves requests, so scaling the web tier to N replicas would also scale
notifier instances unless something restricts it further than leader
election alone.
Add THERMOGRAPH_ROLE (web|worker|all, default all - unchanged single-process
behavior). Every replica runs the same image; ROLE only gates whether a
process is allowed to own the notifier at all, layered on top of the
existing leader election: web replicas never start it even if they'd win
leader election, worker replicas start it if they win. The decision is
pulled into _should_run_notifier() so it's unit-testable without booting the
full app (DB init, places index, neighbor warmer).
Add a minimal /healthz liveness route (no DB/upstream I/O, not under BASE)
so a worker replica - which serves no real traffic - still has something
Swarm can health-check.
* Add the Swarm interim stack file, a pinnable TimescaleDB tag, and a Caddy health-gate
Three changes toward the hop-1 interim cutover, all inert until Track B
stands up the platform:
docker-stack.yml: the Swarm stack file for the interim cutover, distinct
from docker-compose.yml (today's plain-compose deploy, unaffected). Pulls a
pre-built image (IMAGE_TAG) instead of building in place; app/worker publish
no host port (127.0.0.1:8137:8137 has no Swarm equivalent - Swarm's routing
mesh publishes on 0.0.0.0, which would expose the plaintext app un-fronted),
reaching Caddy only over an MTU-lowered overlay network (VXLAN-over-WireGuard
needs a smaller MTU or large payloads silently stall); db is placement-
pinned to a labelled node; app/worker skip inline migrations
(RUN_MIGRATIONS=0) so the runbook's one-shot migrate task is the only thing
that ever runs Alembic; secrets are real Swarm secrets mounted at
/run/secrets, read by the entrypoint shim rather than plain env vars.
TIMESCALEDB_TAG: docker-compose.yml's db image now reads this (default
latest-pg18, today's behavior unchanged), wired through Terraform
(timescaledb_tag, default "latest-pg18") so it can actually be pinned to an
exact minor without hand-editing the host - required before any host of the
stack could replicate with another (a floating tag risks mismatched
extension minors, which blocks a physical replica and risks compressed-
chunk corruption on restore).
Caddy active health-gate: both the Terraform-rendered Caddyfile and the live
deploy/Caddyfile now health-check the app on the same cheap /healthz route
its own Docker HEALTHCHECK uses (now /healthz instead of the SSR homepage,
so it's cheap enough for a tight interval and works identically for a
worker replica, which serves no public traffic at all) - Caddy won't
forward into a container that's still booting or unhealthy.
Verified live: built and booted the real image via docker compose - both
containers report healthy via the new /healthz-based HEALTHCHECK, and GET /
still renders the full SSR homepage unchanged. Both Caddyfiles validated
with the real caddy binary. docker-stack.yml validated with docker compose
config (required-var guards fire with clear messages; secrets correctly
mount at /run/secrets/<name>, matching the entrypoint shim's mapping).
docker-compose.yml validated with and without TIMESCALEDB_TAG set, alongside
the existing openmeteo overlay. terraform validate + fmt clean.
Replace the per-cell parquet cache with TimescaleDB hypertables as the
production backend for the raw daily climate record, and drop pg_duckdb.
Parquet stays the backend whenever THERMOGRAPH_DATABASE_URL is not a
Postgres URL (dev, tests, offline tooling), the same dialect switch the
accounts DB and derived store already use, so CI stays Postgres-free.
- data/climate_store.py: psycopg + polars bridge over climate_history
(a hypertable), climate_recent, and climate_sync (per-cell freshness).
Reads via pl.read_database, writes via COPY + ON CONFLICT upsert;
fail-soft to a cache miss so a DB hiccup degrades to upstream refetch.
- data/climate.py: route every cache/mtime touchpoint through a backend
dispatch. recent_stamp becomes int(recent_synced_at) on Postgres; the
stale-serve path still avoids bumping it, so derived-payload tokens
invalidate on exactly the same events as before.
- alembic 0002: CREATE EXTENSION timescaledb plus the hypertable schema
(compression policy on year-old chunks), guarded to no-op off Postgres.
- migrate_cache_to_pg.py (make migrate-cache): idempotent backfill of the
parquet cache into the hypertables, preserving file mtimes as sync
timestamps so recent_stamp is unchanged across cutover.
- db image -> stock timescale/timescaledb:latest-pg18; drop the custom
pg_duckdb Dockerfile, the read-only /parquet mount, and the duckdb
tuning GUC. Docs updated for the new backend and cutover.

Two prod-readiness hardening changes:
DB tuning scales with the container budget. Replace the fixed 8 GB
20-tuning.sql with 20-tuning.sh, which derives shared_buffers (25%),
effective_cache_size (75%), work_mem, maintenance_work_mem and
duckdb.max_memory (50%) from the DB_MEMORY the compose db service now passes in.
The ratios reproduce the historical 8 GB tuning exactly and scale linearly, so
the 48 GB prod box (db_memory 16g) gets shared_buffers 4 GB / duckdb 8 GB with
no separate edit. Beta/local (8g default) are unchanged. Docs that told
operators to raise the tuning by hand are updated.
Boot ordering for the self-hosted archive. On an openmeteo host, install a
docker.service drop-in (Wants/After rclone-om.service) so Docker starts after
the object-storage mount is ready on every boot — the restart-policy containers
never bind an empty mount point. rclone-om is Type=notify, so After waits for
the mount to actually be ready. Cleaned up when openmeteo is toggled off.
Terraform config under terraform/ manages the two existing VPS hosts and hands the
app to docker-compose, with local state:
- prod: the new 48GB/12-core VPS (release branch, thermograph.org), sized larger.
- beta: the old VPS 75.119.132.91 (main branch, testing tier), no public domain.
- The LAN dev box stays on deploy/deploy-dev.sh (dev branch) — out of Terraform.
A reusable module (modules/thermograph-host) SSHes each host to install docker/
compose/ufw (+ Caddy when a domain is set), sync the checkout to the host's branch,
render /etc/thermograph.env from Terraform variables (secrets pushed via provisioner
content, never on local disk), `docker compose up -d`, and health-check. Named
volumes are preserved on re-apply, so the Postgres data is never recreated.
Container resources are now env-driven in docker-compose.yml (APP_CPUS/DB_CPUS/
DB_MEMORY/WORKERS) with unchanged defaults, so Terraform can size each host.
deploy/db/init/20-tuning.sql sets the memory budget via ALTER SYSTEM (applied on a
fresh volume, effective after the post-init restart): shared_buffers 2GB,
effective_cache_size 6GB, work_mem 64MB, maintenance_work_mem 512MB, max_wal_size
4GB, plus duckdb.max_memory 4GB for parquet processing.
Compose: the db container gets an 8g memory ceiling + 1g shm_size (parallel-query
shared memory) in prod; the dev overlay resets mem_limit so dev memory is uncapped
too (the ~8 GB budget still comes from the tuning). Verified the settings take
effect and pg_duckdb still loads.
Run Thermograph as a docker-compose stack (app + Postgres 18) and standardize the
data layer on Postgres, while keeping the test suite on SQLite.
- accounts/db.py: DSN-driven engines. On Postgres, a per-worker read-write +
read-only asyncpg pair (the RO engine pins read-only transactions, used by the
pure-GET endpoints) plus a sync psycopg engine for the notifier thread; the
SQLite path is preserved for tests/local (selected when THERMOGRAPH_DATABASE_URL
is unset). models.py: boolean server_default -> sa.false().
- store.py / metrics.py: dialect-flexible — Postgres UNLOGGED tables via psycopg
when configured, else the existing raw-sqlite3 paths byte-for-byte; sync
interfaces and every fail-soft contract preserved.
- Alembic (backend/alembic/) manages the accounts schema; the container entrypoint
runs `alembic upgrade head` before uvicorn (4 workers). migrate_accounts_to_pg.py
copies the accounts data SQLite->PG through the ORM (UUID/bool/JSON coerced),
skips access_token, and resets identity sequences.
- Dockerfile + docker-compose.yml: app image (uvicorn, 4 workers, loopback 8137)
and a Postgres 18 db (2 CPUs) running pg_duckdb (deploy/db/) so the parquet
climate cache is queryable in-DB via read_parquet('/parquet/cache/*.parquet').
- deploy.sh/thermograph.service rewired to manage the compose stack; env example,
Makefile targets (up/down/db-up), and deploy/POSTGRES-MIGRATION.md cutover runbook.
Tests stay on SQLite (dialect fallback) — 323 pass. The full Postgres stack was
verified via docker compose: alembic migrations, register/login, the RO endpoint,
store/metrics round-trips, and the accounts data migration.
