After the migrations the entrypoint ensures healthlog_app, a login role
with row access to the app's schema, MAINTAIN on measurements and
ownership of the pgboss schema, and starts the app with a DATABASE_URL
for it in place of the owner's. The role cannot alter or drop tables,
create roles, schemas or functions in the app's schema, read server
files or run programs, or write the migration history.
The password is an HMAC of a fixed label under API_TOKEN_HMAC_KEY, so a
separate worker container derives the same one, and it is sent as a
SCRAM verifier. Every boot re-applies the grants in one transaction
under an advisory lock, and drops as the owner the indexes the
maintenance job may no longer drop. When the owner cannot create roles,
the server is older than Postgres 17, or the role cannot log in, the
boot says why and the app stays on the owner as before. DB_APP_ROLE=off
skips it.
The image creates DB_BACKUP_DIR owned by the app user, so an install that
runs it without the backups volume could write there, and every nightly and
pre-migration dump landed in the container's own layer. The next update
threw them away while the admin page, the boot line and the readiness card
called them kept on this server.
A dump directory now counts as kept only when it survives the container:
inside a container (Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, a container cgroup or an
overlay root) the directory must sit on a mount of its own that is not a
tmpfs, read from /proc/self/mountinfo with a device-number fallback;
outside one, a writable directory is a disk. Otherwise no dump is written
there: the nightly run uploads off-host only and records not_persistent,
the pre-migration dump is skipped with a warning, the boot line says the
directory is inside the container, the backups page stops promising local
dumps and ignores local-only ledger rows, and readiness fails with no
bucket and notes the bucket-only setup otherwise.
The Unraid template gains a path for the dumps, the Unraid and TrueNAS
pages say why it is needed, and the restore drill first runs the stack
without the volume and checks that nothing is kept or claimed.
The image now carries postgresql18-client (pg_dump and pg_restore 18.6)
and a /var/lib/healthlog/backups directory owned by the app user, which
the bundled compose file backs with a new `backups` volume for `app` and
the commented `app-worker`; a fresh named volume inherits that owner.
Before `migrate deploy`, when migrations are pending on a database that
has applied some, the entrypoint writes healthlog-<time>-pre-migration.dump
with its manifest and keeps the last two. A failed dump on a writable
directory stops the boot and names DB_BACKUP_BEFORE_MIGRATE=false; without
a writable directory it warns and continues.
`docker compose run --rm db-restore <file|latest|list>` runs
scripts/db-restore.mjs in the app image with plain node. It opens an
off-host .dump.enc with BACKUP_ENCRYPTION_KEY (or a previous key), checks
the archive against the manifest's SHA-256, compares the keys in the
environment with the manifest's fingerprints and refuses on a different
active encryption key unless --ignore-key-mismatch, refuses a database
that holds any table, restores in one transaction, runs ANALYZE, and
compares every table's row count with the manifest, emptying the database
again on a difference.
DB_BACKUP_ENABLED, DB_BACKUP_DIR, DB_BACKUP_SCHEDULE, DB_BACKUP_KEEP and
DB_BACKUP_BEFORE_MIGRATE join the compose whitelist, both example files
and the env manifest.
migrate deploy runs a migration file statement by statement, so the
top-level SET LOCAL lock_timeout in 0412 did nothing: the migration
waited as long as the lock was held, with every write to measurements
queued behind it, and a file that failed half-way stayed half-applied.
0412 now takes its locks inside one DO block with a statement-scoped
timeout, which rolls back whole, after an idempotent CREATE OR REPLACE.
The entrypoint runs migrate deploy through scripts/migrate-deploy.mjs.
A 55P03 failure of a migration marked -- @retry-on-lock-timeout is
marked rolled back and retried after 15/30/60/120/240 s, read from
Prisma's report or, after P3009, from the stored row. Every other
failure stays fatal. A guard holds migrations to the shape that makes
the marker true, and 0411/0413 add their columns with IF NOT EXISTS so
a manual re-run is safe too.
Consolidated hotfix landing the findings from a six-axis audit
covering mobile security, UX + accessibility, code quality + docs,
README + discoverability, web performance, and mobile-deep responsive
behaviour. None of the changes break the public API or the existing
data shape; every fix is additive and SAFE under the v1.4.34.x web
freeze. Full audit reports live in `.planning/round-audit-*.md`.
Security
- Password rotation now wipes API tokens + refresh tokens in the
same `$transaction` as session revocation. A stolen iOS Bearer no
longer survives a user-initiated password change or an admin reset.
- `/.well-known/` proxy bypass tightened to an explicit-allowlist
`Set`. Stale `/api/auth/codex/callback` PUBLIC_PATHS entry dropped.
- HSTS gains `preload`. Withings host removed from the global CSP
and gated to the integration's own routes.
- `getClientIp` warns once per process on `TRUST_PROXY_HOPS`/XFF
mismatch + exposes a tagged helper for tighter universal buckets.
- Service worker rejects off-origin notification-click URLs. Offline
fallback body switched to a locale-neutral icon. Manifest gains
`scope`, `id`, `display_override`.
UX + accessibility
- i18n leaks closed on Dialog/Sheet close-X, ChartSkeleton's loading
announcement, and the notifications-section breadcrumb.
- Focus rings on bottom-nav, the More overflow button, and the
mobile top-bar user menu.
- Tap-target floor: Input / NativeSelect / Select / DateTimeInput
switch to `h-11 sm:h-10`.
- Admin chip-strip auto-scroll-into-view (matches v1.4.33 settings).
- List-page subtitles visible on mobile.
- Insights empty-state CTA vocabulary normalised so the link opens
the right measurement form (was silently failing for
BODY_TEMPERATURE / BLOOD_GLUCOSE / PULSE).
Mobile-deep
- `viewport.themeColor` reacts to light/dark mode.
- TopBar + Coach FAB reserve safe-area-inset-top / -bottom for
notched iPhones.
- Sonner toaster switches to `theme="system"`.
Code quality
- `SESSION_SECRET` dropped — the env var was documented as required
but never read by code. Three secrets, not four. Self-hosters
upgrading can delete the existing line.
- `toJson<T>()` helper consolidates seven Prisma JSON-cast sites.
- `db-compat.ts` gains a header docstring naming it the
schema-bootstrap path.
- Passkey response types adopted from `@simplewebauthn/server`;
`any` + eslint-disable pragmas drop out.
- Zero-TODO CI gate added at `.github/workflows/no-todo-markers.yml`.
Documentation + discoverability
- README rework: How-it-compares matrix, Apple Health + AI Coach
promoted to standalone Key-Features bullets, status block, latest
release + GHCR badges, OpenAPI pointer, three-secret Quick Start.
- openGraph + twitter cards now carry `images` and a
`summary_large_image` Twitter card.
- GitHub repo metadata: description tightened from 290 to 156
chars + keyword-front, `homepageUrl` flipped from a personal
tenant to the demo site, six generic / PII-adjacent topics
swapped for six high-intent ones.
- Five new user-facing docs: `docs/self-hosting/getting-started.md`,
`docs/self-hosting/reverse-proxy.md`,
`docs/integrations/apple-health.md`,
`docs/integrations/withings.md`,
`docs/integrations/ai-providers.md`.
- `docs/README.md` clarifies the docs tree as internal playbooks
vs the user-facing `docs.healthlog.dev` site.
The ${VAR:?error} syntax in docker-compose.yml broke Coolify-style
deploys: that platform parses the compose file eagerly and stores the
fallback error string as the env-var value when the var is unset, which
then propagates into DATABASE_URL and breaks the running app with
P1000 auth failures.
Switched to plain ${VAR} interpolation. Validation moves into
docker-entrypoint.sh, which checks DATABASE_URL, SESSION_SECRET,
ENCRYPTION_KEY, API_TOKEN_HMAC_KEY before connecting to the database
and exits with a deploy-platform-agnostic error listing the unset vars.
