Deployment

Production deployment, TLS, upgrades, and backup strategy.

Weavestream is designed for self-hosted deployment using Docker Compose. This section covers everything you need to run it reliably in production.

Architecture Summary

Internet → Reverse Proxy (Nginx/Caddy/Traefik) → web:3000 → api:4000
                                                            ↓
                                                       postgres / redis
                                                            │
                                              (api & worker share a
                                               host bind-mounted dir
                                               for uploaded files)

Weavestream does not terminate TLS itself. A reverse proxy handles HTTPS and forwards to the Next.js web container on port 3000.
