Searchable character guide directory.
Structured editors for overview, weapons, artifacts, constellations, teams, and custom sections with autosave and conflict recovery.
Better Auth email/password login with administrator-managed accounts.
Private S3-compatible media uploads with reference-aware same-origin delivery.
PostgreSQL transactions and a retryable outbox.
Shared Redis cache invalidation and privacy-safe Server-Sent Events across replicas.
Discord-triggered Lunaris catalog updates with exact-version synchronization.

The five reference workbooks are represented only by sanitized structural and formula fixtures. Their guide text and media are not imported or published.

Routes

Route	Purpose
`/`	Searchable public character directory
`/[character]`	Redirect to the first visible page
`/[character]/[page]`	Render a public guide page
`/admin/login`	Administrator email/password sign-in
`/admin/register`	Create and remove administrator accounts
`/admin`	Character and page overview
`/admin/[character]/[page]`	Visual page editor
`/admin/create`	Create a structured guide from the synced character catalog
`/media/[id]`	Authorized same-origin media response
`/api/health`	Liveness response
`/api/health?ready=1`	PostgreSQL and Redis readiness response

A page is public only when both its page and character are visible. A visible character without a visible page returns 404.

Local development

Requirements:

Bun 1.3.14
PostgreSQL
Redis
Private S3-compatible object storage

Install dependencies and create your local environment file:

bun install --frozen-lockfile
cp .env.example .env

.env.example contains placeholders only. Configure .env yourself; it is ignored by Git and must never be committed. BETTER_AUTH_URL must exactly match the application origin. Set BASE_URL to the public site origin for SEO metadata, sitemap, and robots.txt. Existing administrators can create additional credential accounts from /admin/register; public registration is disabled.

Prepare the database and start the application:

bun run db:migrate
bun run dev

Fixture-only demo

The UI can be inspected without PostgreSQL, Redis, S3, or authentication credentials by running:

BUZZ_DEMO_MODE=true bun run dev

Demo mode uses sanitized local fixtures and bypasses production authorization and external services. Never enable it in a deployed environment.

Commands

Command	Purpose
`bun run dev`	Start the Next.js development server
`bun run test`	Run the Vitest unit and integration suite
`bun run test:coverage`	Produce V8 coverage output
`bun run typecheck`	Run TypeScript without emitting files
`bun run lint`	Run ESLint
`bun run build`	Compile the production application
`bun run db:generate`	Generate a Drizzle migration from schema changes
`bun run db:migrate`	Apply committed Drizzle migrations
`bun run import:guides`	Preview the one-time Google Sheets guide migration (`-- --apply` to write)
`bun run worker:discord`	Listen for Lunaris update announcements
`bun run worker:outbox`	Process cache and event outbox records

Runtime design

Accepted edits use an expectedVersion and commit guide content, media reference counts, and outbox records in one PostgreSQL transaction. The outbox worker then invalidates affected Redis tags before publishing an opaque { type, id, version } event. Connected clients refetch authoritative state; SSE never contains page content and is not the source of truth.

The Discord catalog worker watches the private channel configured by DISCORD_CHANNEL_ID. It parses new Lunaris Version Change announcements and then fetches and synchronizes the latest version reported by Lunaris. Startup only connects the listener; it does not replay channel history or start a sync. Worker and sync results are sent to DISCORD_LOG_CHANNEL_ID. Enable the Discord Message Content intent and grant the bot View Channel and Send Messages in the configured channels.

Public guides use a shared Redis-backed Next.js cache. Admin routes remain dynamic. SSE streams send a 90-second heartbeat and close after 30 minutes so clients reconnect. Traefik buffering is disabled by the response headers.

Media objects remain private in S3. /media/[id] serves an object publicly only while a published guide references it; otherwise administrator authorization is required.

Verification

Run the complete host-safe verification set with:

bun install --frozen-lockfile
bun run test
bun run typecheck
bun run lint
kubectl kustomize k8s/ >/dev/null

The formula suite validates the exact sanitized corpus of 379 extracted formula cells plus arithmetic edge cases. An optional Redis integration test uses independent connections for two conceptual replicas:

REDIS_INTEGRATION_URL=redis://127.0.0.1:6379 \
  bun run test -- tests/redis-replication.integration.test.ts

It uses unique key and channel prefixes and removes its cache state afterward. Without REDIS_INTEGRATION_URL, that external-service test is skipped.

Containers

The application image compiles Next.js in a Node builder stage, then runs the standalone server and bundled workers on Bun as the unprivileged numeric UID/GID 1000:1000. The migration image runs the committed Drizzle migrations with the same identity.

docker build \
  --target app \
  --build-arg BASE_URL=https://guide.sudloh.com \
  --build-arg NEXT_DEPLOYMENT_ID=<immutable-revision> \
  --build-arg VCS_REF=<immutable-revision> \
  --tag buzz-sheet:<immutable-revision> \
  .

docker build \
  --target migration \
  --build-arg VCS_REF=<immutable-revision> \
  --tag buzz-sheet:migrate-<immutable-revision> \
  .

The runtime images do not contain local .env files. BASE_URL is required during the Next.js build and at runtime. CI supplies the build argument, and the Kubernetes ConfigMap supplies the runtime value. Keep both values aligned when changing the public site origin.

Kubernetes

Kustomize resources live in k8s/ and define:

Namespace buzz-sheet.
Two rolling web replicas, one outbox worker, and one Discord catalog worker.
ClusterIP port 3000 and Traefik ingress for guide.sudloh.com.
Cloudflare edge TLS with the cluster's standard HTTP Traefik origin route.
Startup, liveness, and dependency-aware readiness probes.
Web requests of 500m CPU/1 GiB and limits of 1 CPU/2 GiB.
HPA from 2 to 6 web replicas at 70% CPU or 75% memory and a PDB with one available.
Non-root, read-only containers with dropped capabilities and seccomp.
ARM64 scheduling constraints matching the production hosts and images.
A versioned migration Job and namespace-scoped CI deployer permissions.

PostgreSQL, Redis, and S3 are external services. The manifests deliberately do not create in-cluster data stores or credentials.

External prerequisites

Before the first rollout, a cluster administrator must provision a buzz-sheet-env Secret in the buzz-sheet namespace containing:

DATABASE_URL
BETTER_AUTH_SECRET
REDIS_URL
CATALOG_SYNC_CONCURRENCY
S3_ENDPOINT
S3_PUBLIC_URL
S3_BUCKET
S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID
S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
NEXT_SERVER_ACTIONS_ENCRYPTION_KEY

NEXT_SERVER_ACTIONS_ENCRYPTION_KEY must be generated once and remain stable across replicas and rolling deployments. Do not place secret values in the ConfigMap or commit them to this repository.

Every page also subscribes to /api/active. When a serving pod reports a newer deployment ID than the browser's current build, a persistent Thai notification offers a full reload into the new release.

The base manifests contain deliberate replace-me image and deployment values. For initial bootstrap, the platform operator applies k8s/base through an environment overlay that supplies an existing immutable image revision. The aggregate k8s/ kustomization includes the migration resource for rendering and validation; normal releases create their own revision-named migration Job.

Use this command for local manifest validation only:

kubectl kustomize k8s/ >/dev/null

Gitea Actions release

.gitea/workflows/ci.yml verifies every push and pull request. After the repository variable DEPLOY_ENABLED is explicitly set to true, a successful push to main builds multi-architecture images at:

registry.neko-piranha.ts.net/astral/buzz-sheet:<git-sha>
registry.neko-piranha.ts.net/astral/buzz-sheet:migrate-<git-sha>

Configure these Gitea secrets later:

Secret	Purpose
`KUBE_CONFIG_B64`	Base64 kubeconfig for the `ci-deployer` identity
`REDIS_INTEGRATION_URL`	Optional isolated Redis endpoint for CI integration coverage

The deploy job creates a revision-named migration Job, waits for completion, updates NEXT_DEPLOYMENT_ID, and only then rolls out the immutable application image to the web and both worker deployments. Schema changes must follow an expand/contract sequence so the previous application revision stays compatible during a rolling update.
