# 🛠️ Troubleshooting Guide
|
|
|
|
This guide addresses common issues when deploying and running Bookhoard on different environments.
|
|
|
|
## ⚠️ Potential Issues & Solutions
|
|
|
|
### 1. **Environment Variables Setup**
|
|
|
|
**Issue:** Missing or incorrect `.env` file
|
|
|
|
**Solution:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# 1. Copy the example file
|
|
cp .env.example .env
|
|
|
|
# 2. Edit with secure values
|
|
nano .env
|
|
|
|
# Required variables:
|
|
# Generate secure passwords (no special characters):
|
|
# JWT_SECRET: openssl rand -hex 32
|
|
# DBPASS: openssl rand -hex 16
|
|
JWT_SECRET="your-secure-jwt-secret-key-here" # 64+ char random string
|
|
DBPASS="your-secure-database-password" # Strong password
|
|
|
|
# Optional variables (with defaults in docker-compose.yml):
|
|
# TEST_MODE=false # Disables rate limiting (NEVER in production)
|
|
# RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED=true # Enable/disable rate limiting
|
|
# REQUESTS_PER_MINUTE=10 # Rate limit per IP
|
|
# BOOKHOARD_CONVERSION_TOOL=/usr/bin/ebook-convert
|
|
# BOOKHOARD_CONVERSION_CACHE_TTL=48h
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. **Port Conflicts**
|
|
|
|
**Issue:** Port 8765 already in use
|
|
|
|
**Solution:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Check what's using the port
|
|
lsof -i :8765
|
|
|
|
# Kill conflicting processes
|
|
sudo kill -9 $(lsof -t -i:8765)
|
|
|
|
# Or change port in .env
|
|
SERVER_PORT=8766
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. **Container Runtime - Podman vs Docker**
|
|
|
|
**Issue:** Container runtime compatibility
|
|
|
|
**Solution:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Podman is recommended (podman-compose works with docker-compose.yml)
|
|
# Install podman-compose:
|
|
sudo apt install podman-compose # Debian/Ubuntu
|
|
|
|
# Docker also works (use docker-compose with docker-compose.yml)
|
|
# Both runtimes use the same docker-compose.yml file
|
|
|
|
# Podman users:
|
|
podman-compose up -d
|
|
|
|
# Docker users:
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 4. **Database Permissions**
|
|
|
|
**Issue:** PostgreSQL fails on foreign key constraints
|
|
|
|
**Solution:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Clean database volume and restart:
|
|
# Podman:
|
|
podman-compose down -v
|
|
podman volume rm bookhoard_postgres_data 2>/dev/null
|
|
podman-compose up -d
|
|
|
|
# Docker:
|
|
docker compose down -v
|
|
docker volume rm bookhoard_postgres_data 2>/dev/null
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|
|
|
# Check database logs for errors:
|
|
podman-compose logs db # or: docker compose logs db
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 5. **Build Dependencies**
|
|
|
|
**Issue:** `sqlc` or `templ` not in PATH
|
|
|
|
**Solution:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Ensure Go tools are installed correctly
|
|
go version # Should be 1.25+
|
|
which sqlc # Check if sqlc is accessible
|
|
which templ # Check if templ is accessible
|
|
|
|
# Rebuild if tools are missing:
|
|
podman-compose build --no-cache # or: docker compose build --no-cache
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 6. **Conversion Cache Issues**
|
|
|
|
**Issue:** KEPUB conversion fails or cache problems
|
|
|
|
**Solution:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Check cache directory exists and is writable
|
|
ls -la /var/bookhoard/cache/kepub
|
|
|
|
# Create cache directory if missing
|
|
sudo mkdir -p /var/bookhoard/cache/kepub
|
|
sudo chmod 755 /var/bookhoard/cache/kepub
|
|
|
|
# Clear conversion cache (safe - will reconvert on next download)
|
|
sudo rm -rf /var/bookhoard/cache/kepub/*
|
|
|
|
# Verify kepubify is installed
|
|
which kepubify
|
|
# or: which ebook-convert
|
|
|
|
# Conversion service defaults are in docker-compose.yml
|
|
# Check if you're overriding them in .env:
|
|
grep BOOKHOARD_CONVERSION .env
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 7. **Platform-Specific Issues**
|
|
|
|
**Issue:** Different OS architectures (ARM vs x86)
|
|
|
|
**Solution:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Check current architecture
|
|
uname -m
|
|
|
|
# For ARM (Apple M1/M2, Raspberry Pi):
|
|
# Ensure all Go dependencies support ARM
|
|
# May need to rebuild Go modules:
|
|
go mod download && go mod tidy
|
|
|
|
# Docker automatically handles multi-arch with:
|
|
FROM golang:1.25-alpine AS builder
|
|
# ... rest of Dockerfile remains same
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 8. **Network Connectivity**
|
|
|
|
**Issue:** Can't connect to localhost
|
|
|
|
**Solution:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Check if containers are running:
|
|
podman-compose ps # or: docker compose ps
|
|
|
|
# Test database connection:
|
|
podman-compose exec db psql -U postgres -d bookhoard -c "SELECT 1;" # or: docker compose exec db ...
|
|
|
|
# Test API endpoint:
|
|
curl -s http://localhost:8765/api/libraries/visible
|
|
|
|
# For remote servers, use actual IP:
|
|
curl -s http://SERVER_IP:8765/api/libraries/visible
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 🚀 Quick Verification

|
|
|
### Basic Health Checks:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Check container status
|
|
podman-compose ps # or: docker compose ps
|
|
|
|
# Test database connection
|
|
podman-compose exec db psql -U postgres -d bookhoard -c "SELECT 1;" # or: docker compose exec db ...
|
|
|
|
# Test API endpoint
|
|
curl -s http://localhost:8765/api/libraries/visible
|
|
|
|
# Check application logs
|
|
docker compose logs app
|
|
```

|
|
|
|
### Environment Variables:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Required production variables
|
|
export JWT_SECRET="your-production-jwt-secret"
|
|
export DBPASS="your-production-db-password"
|
|
|
|
# Consider using environment files
|
|
cp .env.production .env
|
|
|
|
# Build with production optimizations
|
|
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 📋 Debugging Steps
|
|
|
|
### Check Application Logs:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Application logs:
|
|
docker compose logs app
|
|
|
|
# Database logs:
|
|
docker compose logs db
|
|
|
|
# Follow logs in real-time:
|
|
docker compose logs -f app
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Check Database Schema:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Connect to database:
|
|
docker compose exec db psql -U postgres -d bookhoard
|
|
|
|
# List tables:
|
|
\dt
|
|
|
|
# Check specific table:
|
|
\d media_highlights
|
|
\d media_notes
|
|
|
|
# Verify foreign keys:
|
|
SELECT
|
|
tc.constraint_name,
|
|
tc.table_name,
|
|
tc.constraint_type,
|
|
tc.is_deferrable
|
|
FROM information_schema.table_constraints tc
|
|
JOIN information_schema.key_column_usage kcu
|
|
ON tc.constraint_name = kcu.constraint_name
|
|
JOIN information_schema.constraint_column_usage ccu
|
|
ON tc.constraint_name = ccu.constraint_name
|
|
WHERE tc.table_schema = 'public';
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Test New Features:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Test notes API:
|
|
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
|
|
http://localhost:8765/api/media-items/{MEDIA_ID}/notes
|
|
|
|
# Test highlights API:
|
|
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
|
|
http://localhost:8765/api/media-items/{MEDIA_ID}/highlights
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
- Health checks for service dependencies
|
|
|
|
### ✅ **Database Design**
|
|
- PostgreSQL with proper foreign key constraints
|
|
- Cascade deletes for data integrity
|
|
- Indexed for performance
|
|
- pgx v5 compatibility
|
|
|
|
### ✅ **API Design**
|
|
- RESTful endpoints following standards
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 🚀 Expected Behavior
|
|
|
|
When properly set up, you should see:
|
|
|
|
1. **Healthy containers**: `docker compose ps` shows "Up" status
|
|
2. **Working API**: `curl http://localhost:8765/api/libraries/visible` returns JSON
|
|
3. **New tables**: `media_highlights` and `media_notes` exist with proper schema
|
|
4. **No port conflicts**: Application binds to port 8765 without errors
|
|
5. **Database ready**: PostgreSQL accepts connections and serves requests
|
|
|
|
