alexei.dolgolyov bbcc4f55f0 feat(docker-watcher): phase 7 - deployer & health checker
Deploy orchestrator with full pipeline: pull → create container →
start → network → NPM proxy → health check. Rollback on failure,
multi-instance support, max_instances enforcement, webhook notifications.
Fix NPM auth in rollback and error logging in removeInstance.

Phase 7: Deployer & Health Checker

Status: Complete Parent plan: PLAN.md Domain: backend

Objective

Implement the core deployment orchestrator: pull → start container → configure NPM proxy → health check → success/rollback. Plus multi-instance support and notifications.

Tasks

  • Task 1: Define deployer service struct — depends on Docker client, NPM client, store, notifier
  • Task 2: Implement deploy flow: pull image → create container → start → connect to network → configure proxy → health check
  • Task 3: Implement subdomain generation per convention: stage-{stage}-{project} for default, stage-{stage}-{project}-{tag} for specific
  • Task 4: Sanitize tags for DNS (dots → dashes, lowercase, truncate)
  • Task 5: Implement health checker — HTTP GET to http://container:{port}{healthcheck_path} with retries and timeout
  • Task 6: Implement rollback on health check failure — remove new container, delete NPM proxy host, update instance status
  • Task 7: Implement multi-instance support — multiple tags of same project/stage can run simultaneously
  • Task 8: Implement max_instances enforcement — remove oldest instance when limit reached
  • Task 9: Implement notification webhook — POST to configured URL on deploy success/failure
  • Task 10: Create deploy history records in store (status, timestamps, logs)
  • Task 11: Implement deploy log streaming — append log entries during deploy for real-time visibility

Files to Modify/Create

  • internal/deployer/deployer.go — main deploy orchestrator
  • internal/deployer/subdomain.go — subdomain generation and DNS sanitization
  • internal/deployer/rollback.go — rollback logic
  • internal/health/checker.go — HTTP health checker with retries
  • internal/notify/notifier.go — webhook notification sender

Acceptance Criteria

  • Full deploy flow works end-to-end (pull → proxy → health check)
  • Failed health checks trigger automatic rollback
  • Multi-instance: deploying a new tag doesn't stop existing instances
  • max_instances removes oldest instance when exceeded
  • Notifications fire on success and failure
  • Deploy history is recorded with status and timestamps

Notes

  • Health check: 3 retries, 5s between retries, 10s timeout per attempt (configurable later)
  • Subdomain pattern comes from global settings
  • Notifications are fire-and-forget (don't block deploy on notification failure)
  • Deploy logs should be structured entries (timestamp + message) for SSE streaming later
  • The deployer is the central orchestrator — webhook handler and poller both call into it

Review Checklist

  • All tasks completed
  • Rollback cleans up ALL resources (container, proxy, instance record)
  • No goroutine leaks
  • Error handling at every step of the deploy flow
  • Subdomain generation produces valid DNS names
