# NullCart Promo Website
Static promo landing page for [NullCart](https://git.nobswebdev.com/nobswebdev/nullcart) - HTML and CSS only, zero JavaScript.
## Development
No Docker required locally. Open `index.html` in your browser.
## Production
### 1. Requirements
- Ubuntu 22.04+ or similar Linux with Docker Engine and the Compose plugin — follow [Install Docker Engine on Ubuntu](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/#install-using-the-repository)
- A domain name pointing at your server (A records for apex and `www`)
### 2. Server setup
Deploy as **root** on the VPS.
Verify:
```bash
docker compose version
```
### 3. Clone the repository
```bash
cd /root
git clone https://git.nobswebdev.com/nobswebdev/nullcart_promo_website.git nullcart_promo_website
cd nullcart_promo_website
```
### 4. Configure environment
```bash
cd /root/nullcart_promo_website
cp .env.example .env.prod
chmod 600 .env.prod
```
Edit `.env.prod`:
| Variable | Production value |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| `COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME` | `nullcart_promo_prod` |
| `CLEARNET_DOMAIN` | apex only, e.g. `nullcart.net` |
### 5. Bootstrap TLS certificates
Nginx needs certificate files before it can start on port 443. For the **first** deploy, create a temporary self-signed pair (replaced after Let's Encrypt):
```bash
./deploy/scripts/bootstrap-certs.sh
```
After the stack is running, obtain real certificates (step 7).
### 6. Start the stack
```bash
./deploy/scripts/deploy.sh
```
Check containers:
```bash
docker compose --env-file .env.prod -f docker-compose.prod.yml ps
```
### 7. Issue Let's Encrypt certificates
Remove the temporary bootstrap certificates under `deploy/certs/live/` (Certbot cannot issue into the layout created by `bootstrap-certs.sh`):
```bash
rm -rf deploy/certs/live/*
```
Request the real certificate (apex + www):
```bash
./deploy/scripts/issue-certs.sh --email you@example.com
```
Reload nginx:
```bash
docker compose --env-file .env.prod -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec nginx nginx -s reload
```
#### Automatic renewal
Open root's crontab:
```bash
crontab -e
```
Add a weekly job (`/root/nullcart_promo_website` is the standard deploy path):
```cron
0 3 * * 0 /root/nullcart_promo_website/deploy/scripts/renew-certs.sh >> /var/log/nullcart-promo-cert-renew.log 2>&1
```
Save and exit the editor. Optional — run once manually to verify:
```bash
/root/nullcart_promo_website/deploy/scripts/renew-certs.sh
```
### 8. Tor onion address
```bash
./deploy/scripts/show-onion.sh
```
Update onion links in `index.html` if needed, then redeploy:
```bash
./deploy/scripts/deploy.sh
```
### 9. Updates
```bash
./deploy/scripts/update.sh
```
This pulls the latest code and rebuilds the stack (`deploy.sh`).
