Adriano 4de7d78b66 docs: document stations end-to-end (user guide + API + deployment)
Stations were the headline V2.0.0 feature but had no user-facing
documentation outside the architecture page. Filled the gap across
the three operational docs.

USER_GUIDE.md
- New entries in "Key Concepts": Station and Station assignment.
- New "Recipes you see are filtered by station" subsection in the
  MeasurementTec workflow, explaining why the Select Recipe page may
  legitimately show fewer recipes than expected and what the
  "Stazione non configurata" error means at the operator level.
- New "Station Management" section under Admin Workflow covering:
  the mental model, station create/edit/delete, the two-column
  recipe-assignment modal, the immutable-code rule, the role of the
  ST-DEFAULT seed station, and the tablet deployment cheat sheet.
- Admin role description updated to mention stations.

DEPLOYMENT.md
- Environment Variables Reference: added STATION_CODE row and noted
  that an empty value triggers the deliberate fail-fast HTTP 503 on
  /measure/select. Updated RATE_LIMIT_GENERAL default (300, per the
  V2.0.0 perf change). Clarified UPLOAD_DIR resolves against the
  project root.

API.md
- New "Stations" endpoint section listing all eight routes with
  request/response examples and the 401/403/404/409 error contract:
  GET / POST /stations, GET /stations/{id}, PUT /stations/{id},
  DELETE /stations/{id}, GET /stations/{id}/recipes,
  GET /stations/by-code/{code}/recipes (the operator-facing one used
  by the Flask client), POST /stations/{id}/recipes,
  DELETE /stations/{id}/recipes/{recipe_id}.
- TOC updated with the new "Stations" anchor.

## Database Setup
### 1. Create MySQL Database and User
```bash
mysql -u root -p
```
```sql
-- Create database
CREATE DATABASE tiemeasureflow CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
-- Create user
CREATE USER 'tmflow'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'secure_password_here';
-- Grant permissions
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON tiemeasureflow.* TO 'tmflow'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
-- Exit
EXIT;
```
### 2. Run Database Migrations
```bash
cd server
pip install -r requirements.txt
alembic upgrade head
```
This creates all required tables:
- `users` - System users
- `recipes` - Measurement recipes
- `recipe_versions` - Immutable recipe versions
- `recipe_tasks` - Tasks within recipes
- `recipe_subtasks` - Subtasks within tasks (individual measurements)
- `measurements` - Recorded measurements
- `access_logs` - API access audit trail
- `system_settings` - Configuration key-value pairs
- `recipe_version_audit` - Recipe change history
### 3. Create Initial Admin User (Optional)
Use the Flask client to create the first admin user, or run:
```bash
cd server
python -c "
from database import init_db, SessionLocal
from services.auth_service import create_user
import asyncio
async def init():
await init_db()
async with SessionLocal() as db:
await create_user(
db,
username='admin',
password='change_me_first_login',
display_name='Admin',
email='admin@example.com',
roles=['Maker', 'MeasurementTec', 'Metrologist'],
is_admin=True
)
await db.commit()
print('Admin user created: admin / change_me_first_login')
asyncio.run(init())
"
```

## Docker Deployment
### Docker Compose (Complete Stack)
The project includes a `docker-compose.yml` for easy deployment:
```bash
# Build images
docker-compose build
# Start services
docker-compose up -d
# View logs
docker-compose logs -f
# Stop services
docker-compose down
```
### Manual Docker Build
#### API Server
```dockerfile
FROM python:3.11-slim
WORKDIR /app/server
COPY server/requirements.txt .
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
COPY server/ .
COPY .env ..
EXPOSE 8000
CMD ["uvicorn", "main:app", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "8000"]
```
Build and run:
```bash
docker build -f server/Dockerfile -t tiemeasureflow-api .
docker run -p 8000:8000 --env-file .env tiemeasureflow-api
```
#### Web Client
```dockerfile
FROM python:3.11-slim
WORKDIR /app/client
COPY client/requirements.txt .
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
COPY client/ .
COPY .env ..
EXPOSE 5000
CMD ["gunicorn", "--workers", "4", "--bind", "0.0.0.0:5000", "app:app"]
```
Build and run:
```bash
docker build -f client/Dockerfile -t tiemeasureflow-web .
docker run -p 5000:5000 --env-file .env tiemeasureflow-web
```
---
## SSL/TLS
### Self-Signed Certificate (Development)
```bash
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout server.key -out server.crt -days 365 -nodes
```
### Let's Encrypt (Production)
```bash
sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx
sudo certbot certonly --nginx -d yourdomain.com
```
### Configure in .env
```env
SSL_CERTFILE=/etc/ssl/certs/yourdomain.com.crt
SSL_KEYFILE=/etc/ssl/private/yourdomain.com.key
```
### Start Server with SSL
```bash
cd server
gunicorn main:app \
--workers 4 \
--worker-class uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker \
--bind 0.0.0.0:8443 \
--certfile /etc/ssl/certs/yourdomain.com.crt \
--keyfile /etc/ssl/private/yourdomain.com.key
```
---
## Backup Strategy
### Daily Database Backups
Create backup script `/opt/tiemeasureflow/backup.sh`:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
BACKUP_DIR="/opt/tiemeasureflow/backups"
TIMESTAMP=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
DB_NAME="tiemeasureflow"
DB_USER="tmflow"
mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR
# MySQL dump
mysqldump -u $DB_USER -p$MYSQL_PASSWORD $DB_NAME \
| gzip > $BACKUP_DIR/db_$TIMESTAMP.sql.gz
# Keep only last 30 days
find $BACKUP_DIR -name "db_*.sql.gz" -mtime +30 -delete
# Upload to S3 (optional)
# aws s3 cp $BACKUP_DIR/db_$TIMESTAMP.sql.gz s3://your-bucket/backups/
echo "Backup completed: $BACKUP_DIR/db_$TIMESTAMP.sql.gz"
```
Schedule with crontab:
```bash
crontab -e
```
Add line:
```cron
0 2 * * * /opt/tiemeasureflow/backup.sh >> /var/log/tiemeasureflow/backup.log 2>&1
```
### Restore from Backup
```bash
# Decompress
gunzip < backups/db_20250207_020000.sql.gz | \
mysql -u tmflow -p tiemeasureflow
```
---
## Troubleshooting
### Database Connection Failed
```
sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (asyncmy.errors.ProgrammingError) (2003, "Can't connect to MySQL server...")
```
**Check:**
```bash
# Verify MySQL is running
mysql -u tmflow -p -e "SELECT 1"
# Check .env variables
grep DB_ .env
# Test connection string
cd server && python -c "from config import settings; print(settings.database_url)"
```
### Port Already in Use
```
OSError: [Errno 48] Address already in use
```
**Solution:**
```bash
# Find process on port 8000
lsof -i :8000
kill -9 <PID>
# Or use different port
uvicorn main:app --port 8001
```
### Import Errors
```
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fastapi'
```
**Solution:**
```bash
cd server
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
### File Upload Not Working
```
/app/server/uploads: Permission denied
```
**Solution:**
```bash
# Create uploads directory with correct permissions
mkdir -p server/uploads
chmod 755 server/uploads
```
### Migrations Failed
```
alembic.util.exc.CommandError: Can't locate revision identified by...
```
**Solution:**
```bash
cd server
# Check migration status
alembic current
# Reset migrations (CAUTION - deletes data)
alembic downgrade base
alembic upgrade head
```
### API Key Not Working
```
detail: "Invalid API key"
```
**Solution:**
```bash
# Regenerate API key for user (admin endpoint)
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/users/1/regenerate-key \
-H "X-API-Key: admin_token"
```
---
## Performance Tuning
### MySQL
Edit `/etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf`:
```ini
[mysqld]
# Connection pool
max_connections = 100
# Buffer sizes
innodb_buffer_pool_size = 256M
innodb_log_file_size = 100M
# Query optimization
query_cache_size = 0
query_cache_type = 0
# Logging
slow_query_log = 1
long_query_time = 2
```
Restart:
```bash
sudo systemctl restart mysql
```
### Application Workers
Increase Gunicorn workers (rule: 2 * CPU_cores + 1):
```bash
gunicorn --workers 9 ... # For 4-core system
```
### Nginx Caching
Add to nginx config:
```nginx
proxy_cache_path /var/cache/nginx levels=1:2 keys_zone=api_cache:10m max_size=1g inactive=60m;
location /api/statistics/ {
proxy_cache api_cache;
proxy_cache_valid 200 10m;
add_header X-Cache-Status $upstream_cache_status;
}
```
---
## Monitoring & Logging
### Application Logs
```bash
# API server
tail -f /var/log/tiemeasureflow/api_error.log
# Web client
tail -f /var/log/tiemeasureflow/web_error.log
# System
journalctl -u tiemeasureflow-api -f
```
### Health Check Endpoint
```bash
curl http://localhost:8000/api/health
```
Response:
```json
{
"status": "ok",
"service": "TieMeasureFlow API",
"version": "0.1.0"
}
```
### Database Connection Pooling
Monitor with:
```bash
# MySQL connections
mysql -e "SHOW PROCESSLIST;" | grep tiemeasureflow
```
