Deployment Skill

This skill provides guidance for deploying LogiAccounting Pro to Render.

Prerequisites

• GitHub repository with the project
• Render account (free tier works)
• Environment variables configured

Quick Deploy

Option 1: Blueprint (Recommended)

The project includes render.yaml for automatic configuration:

# Just push to GitHub and connect to Render
git push origin main

Then in Render:

1. New → Blueprint
2. Connect GitHub repo
3. Select render.yaml
4. Deploy

Option 2: Manual Setup

1. Create Web Service

   • Environment: Python 3
   • Build Command: cd frontend && npm install && npm run build && cd ../backend && pip install -r requirements.txt
   • Start Command: cd backend && uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port $PORT

2. Environment Variables

   SECRET_KEY=<generate-random-string>
   PYTHON_VERSION=3.11.0
   NODE_VERSION=20
   

render.yaml Reference

services:
  - type: web
    name: logiaccounting-pro
    runtime: python
    region: oregon
    plan: free
    buildCommand: |
      cd frontend && npm install && npm run build &&
      cd ../backend && pip install -r requirements.txt
    startCommand: cd backend && uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port $PORT
    envVars:
      - key: SECRET_KEY
        generateValue: true
      - key: PYTHON_VERSION
        value: 3.11.0
      - key: NODE_VERSION
        value: 20
    healthCheckPath: /health

Environment Variables

Health Check

The API exposes /health endpoint:

curl https://your-app.onrender.com/health
# {"status": "healthy"}

Troubleshooting

Build Fails

# Check Node.js version
node --version  # Should be 20+

# Check Python version
python --version  # Should be 3.11+

# Manual build test
cd frontend && npm run build
cd backend && pip install -r requirements.txt

502 Bad Gateway

• Check start command is correct
• Verify PORT environment variable
• Check Render logs for errors

Static Files Not Loading

Ensure FastAPI serves the frontend build:

# backend/app/main.py
app.mount("/", StaticFiles(directory="../frontend/dist", html=True))

Post-Deployment

1. Test all demo credentials work
2. Verify API endpoints respond
3. Check CORS allows your domain
4. Monitor for errors in Render dashboard
