Changed default from 'foreground' (invalid choice) to None
Now correctly handles no arguments to start in foreground mode
Tested and verified:
✓ python3 start_servers.py (foreground - all 3 services running)
✓ python3 start_servers.py start (background)
✓ python3 start_servers.py status (shows all services)
✓ python3 start_servers.py stop (graceful shutdown)
✓ HTTP endpoints responding on 8916/8917
✓ HTTPS endpoints responding on 8918/8919 (Caddy)
✓ All three services (backend, frontend, caddy) working together
Complete feature parity with Docker deployment:
- Caddy reverse proxy manages SSL/TLS
- Ports: 8916/8917 (HTTP), 8918/8919 (HTTPS)
- Self-signed certificates (development-friendly)
- Automatic certificate generation via on-demand TLS
- Security headers (HSTS, XSS Protection, etc.)
Changes:
- Created Caddyfile.standalone for localhost config
- Enhanced start_servers.py with Caddy startup/monitoring
- Auto-install Caddy via apt if not present
- Updated status output to show both HTTP and HTTPS URLs
- All three services (backend, frontend, caddy) in one launcher
Both Docker and Standalone modes now have IDENTICAL capabilities:
- Full production-ready SSL/TLS support
- Reverse proxy with auto-certificate management
- HTTPS-only capable
Resolves dual-deployment equivalence requirement
New commands:
start_servers.py # Foreground (interactive, Ctrl+C to stop)
start_servers.py start # Background mode (detached)
start_servers.py stop # Stop background servers
start_servers.py restart # Stop then start background servers
start_servers.py status # Show running servers and PIDs
Features:
- Process IDs saved to .servers.pid for management
- Status command shows all running servers and URLs
- Full argument parsing with help and examples
- Graceful process group handling for clean shutdown
- Make Item.id required (items from DB always have id)
- Use shared Item type from db.ts in QuantityAdjustmentModal
- Show full npm build output instead of silencing errors
- Ensures all modals use consistent type definitions
- Create Toast component for success/error messages
- Fix uvicorn invocation: use backend.main:app from project root
- Ensures relative imports work correctly in backend modules
- Use uvicorn CLI directly (not python -c workaround)
- Add process group handling for cleaner shutdown
- Silent npm output during setup
- Better error messages and logging
- Support graceful SIGTERM/SIGINT handling
- Replaces bash script with robust Python implementation
- Simpler process management using subprocess module
- Better error handling and logging
- Manages venv, dependencies, and both services
- Handles graceful shutdown on Ctrl+C
