A full-stack web application for managing and visualizing medical test records with secure authentication and real-time data visualization.

• Frontend: React + TypeScript + Vite + Tailwind CSS
• Backend: FastAPI + Python + SQLAlchemy
• Database: PostgreSQL
• Authentication: JWT with access/refresh tokens
• Email: SMTP for verification and password reset
• Containerization: Docker + Docker Compose

• Docker and Docker Compose
• Node.js 18+ (for local development)
• Python 3.11+ (for local development)

1. Clone the repository

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd labsmonitor

2. Start the development environment

   docker-compose up -d

3. Access the application

   • Frontend: http://localhost:3000
   • Backend API: http://localhost:8000
   • Database: localhost:5432

4. Stop the environment

   docker-compose down

• Docker and Docker Compose installed on production server
• Domain name with SSL certificate
• SMTP email service configured
• PostgreSQL database (or use the included one)

1. Create production environment file

   cp env.prod.template .env.prod

2. Edit .env.prod with your production values

   # Database Configuration
   DB_NAME=medtest_prod
   DB_USER=medtest_user
   DB_PASSWORD=your_secure_password_here
   # Security (Generate secure keys)
   SECRET_KEY=your_very_long_random_secret_key_here
   JWT_SECRET_KEY=your_jwt_secret_key_here
   # Email Configuration
   SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
   SMTP_PORT=587
   SMTP_USER=your_email@gmail.com
   SMTP_PASSWORD=your_app_password_here
   # Application Configuration
   ENVIRONMENT=production
   DEBUG=false
   LOG_LEVEL=INFO
   # CORS Origins (your domain)
   ALLOWED_ORIGINS=https://yourdomain.com,https://www.yourdomain.com

3. Generate secure secrets

   # Generate SECRET_KEY
   openssl rand -hex 32
   # Generate JWT_SECRET_KEY
   openssl rand -hex 32

Option A: Let's Encrypt (Recommended)

# Install certbot
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install certbot
# Get certificate
sudo certbot certonly --standalone -d yourdomain.com
# Copy certificates to project directory
sudo cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/yourdomain.com/fullchain.pem ./ssl/cert.pem
sudo cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/yourdomain.com/privkey.pem ./ssl/key.pem

Option B: Self-signed (Development only)

mkdir ssl
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout ssl/key.pem -out ssl/cert.pem -days 365 -nodes

1. Create production database

   # If using external PostgreSQL
   createdb medtest_prod
   createuser medtest_user
   psql -c "ALTER USER medtest_user PASSWORD 'your_secure_password';"
   psql -c "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE medtest_prod TO medtest_user;"

2. Run database migrations

   # Apply migrations
   docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec backend python -m alembic upgrade head

1. Build and start production containers

   docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d --build

2. Verify deployment

   # Check container status
   docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml ps
   # Check logs
   docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f

3. Access your application

   • Frontend: https://yourdomain.com
   • API: https://yourdomain.com/api

1. Create admin user

   # Access the application and register your first admin user
   # Or use the API directly
   curl -X POST https://yourdomain.com/api/auth/register \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"email":"admin@yourdomain.com","password":"secure_password","firstName":"Admin","lastName":"User"}'

2. Set up monitoring

   # Check application health
   curl https://yourdomain.com/api/health
   # Monitor logs
   docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f backend

3. Configure backups

   # Database backup script
   #!/bin/bash
   docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec -T db pg_dump -U $DB_USER $DB_NAME > backup_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).sql

• Environment Variables: Set in frontend/.env.production
• API URL: Configure VITE_API_URL for backend endpoint
• Build Optimization: Production builds are optimized and minified

• Database: Configure DATABASE_URL in environment
• Email: Set SMTP credentials for email functionality
• Security: Configure CORS origins and JWT settings
• Logging: Set log level and output format

• SSL: Configure SSL certificates in frontend/nginx.conf
• Caching: Static assets are cached for 1 year
• Compression: Gzip compression enabled
• Security Headers: XSS protection, frame options, etc.

• Use strong, unique passwords for all services
• Generate secure random keys for JWT and application secrets
• Configure proper CORS origins
• Set up SSL/TLS certificates
• Enable security headers
• Use non-root containers
• Implement rate limiting
• Set up monitoring and alerting
• Configure automated backups
• Keep dependencies updated

# Never commit .env.prod to version control
echo ".env.prod" >> .gitignore
# Use secrets management in production
# Consider using Docker Secrets or HashiCorp Vault

# Application health
curl https://yourdomain.com/api/health
# Database health
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec db pg_isready
# Container status
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml ps

# View all logs
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs
# Follow specific service logs
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f backend
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f frontend

# Update application
git pull origin main
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml down
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d --build
# Update database schema
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec backend python -m alembic upgrade head

1. Database Connection Failed

   # Check database container
   docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs db
   # Verify environment variables
   docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec backend env | grep DATABASE

2. SSL Certificate Issues

   # Check certificate validity
   openssl x509 -in ssl/cert.pem -text -noout
   # Renew Let's Encrypt certificate
   sudo certbot renew

3. Email Not Working

   # Check SMTP configuration
   docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec backend python -c "from email_service import test_smtp; test_smtp()"

4. High Memory Usage

   # Monitor resource usage
   docker stats
   # Optimize container resources in docker-compose.prod.yml
