# Deploying to Proxmox (MVP)

This doc assumes you’ll run MirrorMatch as Docker containers on a Proxmox VM or LXC.

## Recommended layout

- **Postgres**: Docker container + persistent volume
- **MinIO**: Docker container + persistent volume
- **MirrorMatch web**: Docker container behind your reverse proxy (Caddy / Nginx / Traefik)

## Environment

Set these in your production environment (do not commit them):

- `DATABASE_URL`
- `AUTH_SECRET`
- `AUTH_URL` (your public URL, e.g. `https://mirrormatch.yourdomain.com`)
- SMTP env vars (`EMAIL_SERVER_*`, `EMAIL_FROM`)
- S3 env vars (`S3_*`)

## Reverse proxy notes

- Ensure `AUTH_URL` matches the external URL exactly (scheme + host).
- Forward `X-Forwarded-Proto` and `X-Forwarded-Host`.

## Images

MinIO bucket is private. The app should generate presigned URLs for authorized users.
