# Deploying hsa-app
The app runs as a **user systemd service** (no sudo). Tagged releases are
pushed by CI into `~/hsa-app/releases/hsa-app-V<tag>/hsa`, and a `current`
symlink (`~/hsa-app/hsa`) points at the live release. Restarting the service
picks up whatever the symlink resolves to.
## Layout on the host
Mutable state (DB, env, config) lives at the top of `~/hsa-app/` and survives
every deploy. Only the binaries live under `releases/`.
```
~/hsa-app/
hsa_app.sh # launcher: sources env file, exec's the binary
hsa_app.env # environment (KEY=VALUE)
config.json
hsa.db, hsa.db-shm, hsa.db-wal # SQLite state
releases/
hsa-app-V0.0.0a0/hsa
hsa-app-V0.0.1/hsa
hsa -> releases/hsa-app-V0.0.1/hsa # current symlink, swapped on deploy
```
## The current symlink
Create/repoint it **from inside `~/hsa-app`** so the relative target resolves
against the link's own directory (running `ln -s` from `~` produces a broken
link that points at `~/hsa-app/hsa-app/...`):
```bash
cd ~/hsa-app
chmod +x releases/hsa-app-V<tag>/hsa
ln -sfn releases/hsa-app-V<tag>/hsa hsa # -f replace, -n don't follow existing link
ls -l hsa # target must resolve (not broken)
```
This same `ln -sfn` + `chmod +x` is what the CI deploy step runs on each tag.
## Install the service (once)
Save [hsa_app.service](hsa_app.service) to `~/.config/systemd/user/hsa_app.service`,
then:
```bash
loginctl enable-linger "$USER" # run the service without an active login session
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable --now hsa_app
systemctl --user status hsa_app
journalctl --user -u hsa_app -f # follow logs
```
### Why these choices
- **User service** (`systemctl --user`) — no sudo, matches the home-dir deploy.
`enable-linger` lets it start at boot / stay up without an interactive login.
- **`Type=exec`** — `hsa_app.sh` ends in `exec "$BIN"`, so the binary becomes the
unit's main process; signals and exit codes propagate correctly.
- **`WorkingDirectory=%h/hsa-app`** — relative paths in the env file resolve here.
The launcher's comment recommends absolute paths for `DB_PATH` / `STORAGE_DIR` /
`BACKUP_DIR` / `CONFIG_PATH`; either works.
- **ExecStart passes the env file as `$1`** — matches `hsa_app.sh`'s first-arg
precedence, so no `/etc/hsa-app/...` file is needed. `%h` expands to the home dir.
- The launcher defaults its binary to `./hsa` next to itself (`~/hsa-app/hsa`, the
symlink), so a restart after a symlink swap runs the new release automatically.
## Deploy a tagged release
CI pushes the binary on tag and runs the swap + restart. To do it manually:
```bash
cd ~/hsa-app
chmod +x releases/hsa-app-V<tag>/hsa
ln -sfn releases/hsa-app-V<tag>/hsa hsa
systemctl --user restart hsa_app
```
## Roll back
Every release stays under `releases/`, so rollback is a symlink repoint:
```bash
cd ~/hsa-app
ln -sfn releases/hsa-app-V<old-tag>/hsa hsa
systemctl --user restart hsa_app
```
