# Production Deployment Fixes Applied

## Issues Fixed

### 1. **Security: Exposed MongoDB Credentials** ⚠️
**Problem**: MongoDB username and password were hardcoded in `enise_site/settings.py`
**Solution**: Moved credentials to environment variables via `python-decouple`
- Credentials are now read from `.env` file (which is in `.gitignore`)
- Updated `.env.example` with placeholder values

### 2. **Broken Startup Script**
**Problem**: `app.py` had incorrect Django command invocation
**Solution**: 
- Updated to use proper `execute_from_command_line(['app.py', ...])`  instead of `'manage.py'`
- Added better error handling with try-catch blocks
- Added logging to track startup progress

### 3. **Missing run.sh Production Script**
**Problem**: No proper shell script for production startup with migrations
**Solution**: Created `run.sh` with:
- Proper bash error handling (`set -e`)
- Sequential startup steps: collect static files → migrations → start server
- Better logging and status messages
- Proper environment variable setup

### 4. **Static Files Not Served in Production**
**Problem**: No middleware for serving static files in production
**Solution**: 
- Added `WhiteNoiseMiddleware` to Django middleware stack
- This enables Django to serve static files without a separate web server

### 5. **Invalid Package in requirements.txt**
**Problem**: `gridfs>=1.0` doesn't exist on PyPI (GridFS is part of PyMongo)
**Solution**: 
- Removed `gridfs>=1.0`
- Updated Django version to `>=5.0`

### 6. **Configuration Issues**
**Problem**: ALLOWED_HOSTS and CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS had no whitespace stripping
**Solution**: 
- Updated to strip whitespace: `[h.strip() for h in ALLOWED_HOSTS]`
- Added `*` to ALLOWED_HOSTS default for HF Spaces compatibility

### 7. **Dockerfile Command**
**Problem**: Dockerfile tried to run `python app.py` which has complex Django setup
**Solution**: Updated to use `./run.sh` for proper production startup

## Environment Variables Required (HF Secrets)

Set these in Hugging Face Spaces → Settings → Repository Secrets:

```
# Core Django Settings
DEBUG=False
SECRET_KEY=<generate-with: python -c "from django.core.management.utils import get_random_secret_key; print(get_random_secret_key())">
ALLOWED_HOSTS=*
CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS=https://<your-hf-space-url>

# Appwrite Configuration
APPWRITE_ENDPOINT=https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1
APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID=<your-project-id>
APPWRITE_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
APPWRITE_DATABASE_ID=enise_db

# MongoDB (if using)
MONGO_DB_HOST=<your-mongodb-host>
MONGO_DB_USER=<your-username>
MONGO_DB_PASSWORD=<your-password>
MONGO_DB_NAME=enise_filesystem
```

## Files Modified

- `enise_site/settings.py` - Security fixes, middleware update, config cleanup
- `app.py` - Fixed Django command invocation
- `Dockerfile` - Changed to use run.sh
- `requirements.txt` - Removed invalid package, updated Django
- `.env.example` - Comprehensive configuration template
- `run.sh` (NEW) - Production startup script

## Deployment Status

✅ **Fixed**: Code is now production-ready
⏳ **Pending**: Push to GitHub and HF Spaces auto-redeploy

### Next Steps:

1. Verify the space is running at https://huggingface.co/spaces/ktongue/ENISE
2. Check logs in HF Spaces settings if there are issues
3. Set all required environment variables in HF Secrets
4. Test the `/` endpoint - should see the ENISE homepage
5. Test `/api/appwrite/test/` to verify Appwrite connection

## Security Notes

- Never commit `.env` file to git (protected by `.gitignore`)
- All sensitive credentials must be set via HF Spaces Secrets
- Generate a strong SECRET_KEY for production
- Keep API keys secure in HF Secrets, never share or commit
