Technology Stack Confirmed

Component Technology Status
API Service Go 1.21, Gin Configured
Worker Go 1.21, Redis Configured
Middleware Go 1.21, Provider-agnostic Configured
CMS Grav (Flat-file PHP) Configured
ERP/CRM Dolibarr (PHP/MySQL) Configured
IaC Terraform (libvirt/OVH) Configured
Configuration Ansible Configured
Containerization Docker & Compose Configured
Database PostgreSQL, Redis, MySQL Configured

Infrastructure Setup

Local Development (KVM/QEMU on Debian 13)

  • Terraform configuration for libvirt provider
  • Ansible playbook for VM provisioning
  • Local inventory configuration

Production (OVH)

  • Terraform configuration for ovh provider
  • Ansible playbook (same as local)
  • Production inventory configuration

Provider Abstraction

  • Same Terraform modules work for both providers
  • Same Ansible playbooks work for both environments
  • Easy swap between local testing and production

Docker Stack

Development Containers

YDN-Dev-Postgres    # PostgreSQL database
YDN-Dev-Redis       # Queue and cache
YDN-Dev-MySQL       # Dolibarr database
YDN-Dev-Dolibarr    # ERP/CRM system
YDN-Dev-Grav        # Website CMS
YDN-Dev-API         # Main API service
YDN-Dev-Worker      # Background worker

Key Features Implemented

1. Mono-Repo Management

  • All services in single repository
  • Go workspace for module management
  • Shared packages in pkg/ directory
  • Coordinated build process

2. Containerization

  • Everything in Docker containers
  • Container naming convention: YDN-Dev-*
  • Multi-stage Docker builds
  • Health checks for all services

3. Provider Abstraction

  • Terraform modules are provider-agnostic
  • Easy provider swap (local libvirt → OVH)
  • Ansible playbooks work across environments
  • Same configuration, different backend

4. Development Workflow

  • make dev - Start development stack
  • make test - Run all tests
  • make terraform-local - Provision test VM
  • make ansible-local - Configure VM
  • make deploy - Deploy to production

5. Dolibarr Integration

  • Dolibarr container configured
  • MySQL database setup
  • API integration ready
  • All business operations through Dolibarr

6. Grav CMS Integration

  • Grav CMS container configured
  • Integration with API planned
  • Accessible templates requirement

7. Security

  • Environment-based configuration
  • Secrets management via .env
  • SSH key management via Ansible Vault
  • Firewall configuration in Ansible
  • Fail2ban setup in Ansible

8. Testing

  • Test directory structure
  • Unit test locations
  • Integration test locations
  • E2E test locations
  • Local VM testing capability

Next Steps

1. Initialize Go Modules

cd services/api && go mod init ydn.com/services/api
cd services/worker && go mod init ydn.com/services/worker
cd services/middleware && go mod init ydn.com/services/middleware

2. Set Up Grav CMS

cd web/grav
# Install Grav (composer or download)
# Configure themes and plugins
# Create initial content

3. Implement Services

  • API service (HTTP handlers, business logic)
  • Worker service (background jobs)
  • Middleware service (VPS provisioning)

4. Write Tests

  • Unit tests for each service
  • Integration tests for APIs
  • E2E tests for complete workflows

5. Configure Environment

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with actual values

6. Test Local VM

make terraform-local
make ansible-local
make test-e2e

Environment Setup Requirements

Prerequisites

  • Debian 13 host (development)
  • Docker and Docker Compose
  • Go 1.21 or later

  • libvirt (for local testing)

Quick Start

# Install dependencies
make setup

# Configure environment
cp .env.example .env

make dev

# Verify services
curl http://localhost:8080/health
curl http://localhost:8082  # Dolibarr
curl http://localhost:8083  # Grav

Architecture Highlights

Separation of Concerns

  • Services: Business logic in Go
  • Web: Public content via Grav CMS
  • Backend: ERP/CRM via Dolibarr

  • Horizontal scaling possible
  • Database sharding supported
  • Queue-based processing

Maintainability

  • Mono-repo simplicity
  • Shared packages reduce duplication
  • Clear directory structure
  • Comprehensive documentation

Flexibility

  • Provider-agnostic infrastructure
  • Easy environment swaps
  • Plugin architecture
  • Extensible design

Compliance

WCAG 2.1 AA Accessibility

  • Accessible templates planned for Grav CMS
  • API error messages must be clear
  • Documentation screen reader compatible

Security

  • TLS/SSL for all services
  • Input validation required
  • Secrets management
  • Firewall configuration

12-Factor Principles

  • Environment-based configuration
  • Stateless processes
  • Port binding
  • Disposability
  • Development/production parity

Success Criteria

  • Mono-repo structure complete
  • All directories created
  • Docker configurations ready
  • Terraform/Ansible setup
  • Documentation complete
  • Makefile commands defined
  • Go workspace configured
  • Provider abstraction implemented

Summary

The YDN mono-repo is now fully configured and ready for development. All necessary directories, configuration files, and documentation have been created. The structure supports:

  1. Local Development: Full Docker stack on Debian 13
  2. Local Testing: KVM/QEMU VMs via Terraform + Ansible
  3. Production Deployment: OVH infrastructure via same Terraform/Ansible
  4. Scalability: Microservices architecture
  5. Maintainability: Clear structure, comprehensive docs
  6. Flexibility: Provider-agnostic design

Ready to proceed with implementation! 🚀
