deploy-shot-client-next

Deploy shot-client-next to Fly.io

Instructions

1. Navigate to the shot-client-next directory
2. Run npm run build to verify the build succeeds locally
3. Verify all changes are committed to git
4. Execute the deployment using fly deploy
5. Monitor the deployment logs for build or startup errors
6. Verify the application is running on Fly.io
7. Test critical user flows in production (login, campaign management, fight creation)

Deployment Steps

# Navigate to shot-client-next
cd /Users/isaacpriestley/tech/isaacpriestley/chi-war/shot-client-next

# Verify build succeeds
npm run build

# Verify git status
git status

# Deploy to Fly.io
fly deploy

# Monitor deployment
fly logs

# Verify health
curl https://[your-app-name].fly.dev

Examples

• User: "Deploy the latest frontend changes"
• User: "Release the new UI updates to Fly.io"
• User: "Push the Next.js updates to production"
• User: "Deploy the client"
• User: "Update the production frontend"
• User: "Deploy shot-client-next"

Guidelines

• Always verify the build succeeds locally before deploying
• Ensure API endpoint URLs are correct for production environment
• Monitor deployment logs for build or startup errors
• Test responsive design and critical flows after deployment
• Clear browser cache when testing UI changes
• Verify WebSocket connections work properly
• Deployment typically takes 3-5 minutes (includes Docker build)

Pre-Deployment Checklist

• All changes committed to git
• npm run build succeeds locally
• No TypeScript errors
• Environment variables configured in Fly.io
• API base URL points to correct backend

Post-Deployment Checks

• Test user login/registration
• Verify campaign switching works
• Test WebSocket real-time updates
• Check fight creation and management
• Test character creation with AI image generation
• Verify autocomplete components work
• Test drawer forms and modals
• Check responsive design on mobile

Environment Variables

Ensure these are set on Fly.io:

• NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL - Backend API URL (https://shot-elixir.fly.dev)
• NEXT_PUBLIC_WS_URL - WebSocket URL
• Any other required environment variables

Troubleshooting

If deployment fails:

• Check fly logs for build errors
• Verify Next.js build succeeds locally
• Check environment variables with fly secrets list
• Review recent git commits for breaking changes
• Test API connectivity from production environment
• Rollback if needed: fly releases rollback

Docker Build Notes

• Uses Node.js 18+ base image
• Multi-stage build for optimized image size
• Production build with npm run build
• Deployment process caches layers for faster rebuilds
