Limitation today: the app lives on the laptop — when the laptop is OFF, the site is off. This guide removes that limitation.

HTTPS + domain	Cloudflare named tunnel → PC	Cloudflare DNS (A record) + Caddy auto-HTTPS
Database	SQLite file on PC	SQLite file on server volume (same file, copied over)
Uploads (part photos)	data/uploads on PC	Same folder on server volume
Emails / OTP	toolsnaka@gmail.com SMTP	Unchanged — works anywhere
Uptime	Only while PC is on	24/7/365 — independent of your PC

Provider	Cheapest plan	Cost/mo	Notes

DigitalOcean Basic	1 vCPU · 1 GB RAM	≈ ₹550	Most beginner-friendly panel
Vultr High Frequency	1 vCPU · 1 GB RAM	≈ ₹420	Cheapest reliable entry

Choose Ubuntu 24.04, any region (Mumbai/Singapore for India speed). Pay with UPI/card. You get an IP address + root password — that's all I need from you.

Option A — I do it for you (easiest)

Send me: server IP · root password · confirm the region. I run every step below, transfer the database, switch DNS, verify live.

Option B — you do it (all commands ready)

1 · Upload the package from your PC:

scp ToolNaka-Full-Package.tar.gz root@YOUR_SERVER_IP:/opt/

2 · SSH in and run the one-command setup:

ssh root@YOUR_SERVER_IP
cd /opt && tar -xzf ToolNaka-Full-Package.tar.gz
bash deploy/deploy.sh

3 · Create env + start:

cp deploy/.env.production.example .env
nano .env            # set SMTP_PASS (and SMS key if you have one)
docker compose up -d --build

4 · Copy your live database (keeps all users/orders/products):

# from your PC (laptop), before or after the move:
scp prisma/prisma/dev.db root@YOUR_SERVER_IP:/opt/toolnaka/data/dev.db
ssh root@YOUR_SERVER_IP "cd /opt/toolnaka && docker compose restart"

5 · Point DNS in Cloudflare (2 clicks):

DNS → Add record → A · name: @ · IPv4: YOUR_SERVER_IP · proxy: ON
DNS → Add record → A · name: www · IPv4: YOUR_SERVER_IP · proxy: ON

6 · Wait 2-10 minutes, then:

curl https://toolsnaka.store/api/health   # → {"status":"ok","db":"ok"}

File	What it does
deploy/Dockerfile	Builds ToolNaka (Node 22, standalone Next.js) into one image
deploy/docker-compose.yml	App + auto-HTTPS (Caddy) + persistent volumes + health check
deploy/Caddyfile	Free HTTPS for toolsnaka.store + www (automatic certificates)
deploy/deploy.sh	Installs Docker + daily DB backup cron on the server
deploy/.env.production.example	Template — copy to .env, fill SMTP_PASS
deploy/README-DEPLOY.md	The full written walkthrough (this guide in text form)

• Backups are automatic: every night at 3 AM the server copies dev.db to /opt/toolnaka/backups/.
• Updates: upload new source → docker compose up -d --build. That's it.
• Monitor: https://toolsnaka.store/api/health anytime.
• Your laptop becomes optional: keep it as a dev machine; the site no longer depends on it.
