🎉 POTE Setup Complete!

✅ What's Done

1. Branch Strategy ✅

• main (production) - Protected
• qa (staging) - Protected
• dev (development) - Protected

2. Branch Protection ✅

All branches now have:

• CI status checks required
• Force push blocked
• Proper merge requirements

3. CI/CD Pipeline ✅

• Runs on all branches (main, qa, dev)
• 93 tests passing
• Security scanning
• Dependency scanning
• Docker build verification

4. Complete Documentation ✅

• Branch strategy guide
• Deployment workflows
• Secrets management
• Email reporting setup
• Automation guides

🚀 Your Workflow Now

Development Flow:

1. Work on dev branch
   git checkout dev
   git pull origin dev
   # make changes
   git commit -m "Add feature"
   git push origin dev
   ↓
   CI runs automatically
   ↓
   ✅ Tests must pass before push succeeds

2. Promote to QA
   Create PR: dev → qa in Gitea
   ↓
   CI runs on PR
   ↓
   ✅ Tests + Security + Dependencies must pass
   ↓
   Get 1 approval
   ↓
   Merge to qa

3. Promote to Production
   Create PR: qa → main in Gitea
   ↓
   CI runs on PR
   ↓
   ✅ All checks must pass (tests, security, deps, docker)
   ↓
   Get approval(s)
   ↓
   Merge to main

🎯 Next Steps

1. Merge Documentation to Main

Go to: https://git.levkin.ca/ilia/POTE/compare/main...dev

Create PR with all the new documentation:

• Branch strategy guide
• Pipeline setup guide
• Email configuration
• Gitea secrets guide
• And more!

2. Add Gitea Secrets (5 minutes)

Go to: https://git.levkin.ca/ilia/POTE/settings/secrets

Add these secrets:

Secret Name	Value	Purpose
SMTP_PASSWORD	your mail password	Email reports
DB_PASSWORD	changeme123	Database
SMTP_HOST	mail.levkin.ca	Email server
SMTP_USER	test@levkin.ca	Email user
FROM_EMAIL	test@levkin.ca	From address
REPORT_RECIPIENTS	test@levkin.ca	Report recipients

For multi-environment (later):

• DEV_HOST, DEV_USER, DEV_SSH_KEY
• QA_HOST, QA_USER, QA_SSH_KEY
• PROXMOX_HOST, PROXMOX_USER, PROXMOX_SSH_KEY

3. Set Up Email Reporting (5 minutes)

On your deployed server:

ssh poteapp@your-proxmox-ip
cd ~/pote

# Add password to .env
nano .env
# Update: SMTP_PASSWORD=your_actual_password

# Test email
source venv/bin/activate
python scripts/send_daily_report.py --to test@levkin.ca --test-smtp

# Set up automation
./scripts/setup_cron.sh

4. Configure Ansible Integration (optional)

Update your Ansible auto-deploy system to:

• Listen for Gitea webhooks
• Deploy based on branch (dev/qa/main)
• Use environment-specific configs

See: docs/14_branch_strategy_and_deployment.md
