Quick Start

Prerequisites

Tool	Version
Node.js	≥ 20
Docker & Compose	≥ 24
PostgreSQL	16
Redis	7
Helm	≥ 3.12

1. Clone & Install

git clone <repo-url> host && cd host
cd backend && npm install && cd ..
cd frontend && npm install && cd ..

2. Environment Variables

cp backend/.env.example backend/.env
cp frontend/.env.local.example frontend/.env.local
# Edit both files with your DB, JWT, Redis, and registry settings

3. Run with Docker Compose

docker compose up --build

Backend at port 4000, Frontend at port 3000.

4. Deploy Platform on Kubernetes (Helm)

Prerequisites: NGINX Ingress, cert-manager (if TLS enabled), StorageClass for PVCs.

# Build images (set API URL to match ingress.api.host when TLS is on)
export REG=your-registry.example.com
docker build -t $REG/cloudhost-backend:latest ./backend
docker build -t $REG/cloudhost-frontend:latest \
  --build-arg NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=https://api.platform.example.com ./frontend
docker push $REG/cloudhost-backend:latest $REG/cloudhost-frontend:latest

# Install (copy and edit values-production.example.yaml first)
helm upgrade --install cloudhost ./backend/helm/cloudhost-platform \
  -n cloudhost --create-namespace \
  -f backend/helm/cloudhost-platform/values-production.example.yaml

Key values: ingress.enabled, ingress.tls.enabled, ingress.frontend.host, ingress.api.host, postgres.password, secrets.jwtSecret.

See chart defaults in backend/helm/cloudhost-platform/values.yaml and post-install notes via helm get notes cloudhost -n cloudhost.

5. Run Locally (development)

# Terminal 1 — Backend
cd backend && npm run start:dev

# Terminal 2 — Frontend
cd frontend && npm run dev

Security

• JWT access + refresh tokens with configurable expiry
• Bcrypt password hashing (12 rounds)
• Helmet HTTP security headers
• RBAC role-based route guards (@Roles(UserRole.ADMIN))
• Namespace isolation — each user deploys to their own K8s namespace
• Secrets — env vars stored as K8s Secrets, never in plain manifests
• Input validation — class-validator on all DTOs
