## 🤔 What Does This Do?

**Simple Explanation:**
Imagine you have 5 different apps running on different computers in your house. Instead of remembering 5 complicated addresses, you can use one simple address like `myapps.com`, and this tool figures out where to send people based on what they're looking for.

**Real-World Example:**
- Someone types: `blog.mysite.com` → Goes to your blog server
- Someone types: `shop.mysite.com` → Goes to your online shop server
- All managed from one beautiful dashboard!

## ✨ What Can It Do?

- **🎨 Beautiful Dark Interface** - Easy on the eyes, works on phones and computers
- **🔄 Manage Multiple Websites** - Add, edit, or remove websites with a few clicks
- **🖥️ Connect Different Servers** - Works with servers anywhere (your closet, the cloud, anywhere!)
- **📥 Import Old Settings** - Already using Caddy? Bring your old setup right in
- **🔍 Test Before You Save** - Check if servers are reachable before going live
- **💾 Saves Everything Safely** - Your settings are stored securely

## 🚀 The Super Easy Way to Start

**Want to skip all the technical stuff?** Use Docker! (It's like a magic app installer)

### Step 1: Get Docker
Don't have Docker? [Download it here](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) - it's free!

### Step 2: Run One Command
Open your terminal and paste this:

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Wikid82/CaddyProxyManagerPlus.git
cd CaddyProxyManagerPlus

# Start the stack
docker-compose up -d
```

### Step 3: Open Your Browser
Go to: **http://localhost:8080**

**That's it!** 🎉 You're ready to start adding your websites!

> 💡 **Tip:** Not sure what a terminal is? On Windows, search for "Command Prompt". On Mac, search for "Terminal".

For more details, check out the [Docker Deployment Guide](DOCKER.md).

### 🔌 Connecting to Remote Servers (Optional)

**Want to see containers on OTHER servers?**

If you have apps running on a different computer (like a Raspberry Pi or a VPS) and want CPMP to see them automatically:

1.  **Copy** the `docker-compose.remote.yml` file to that *other* computer.
2.  **Run it** there: `docker compose -f docker-compose.remote.yml up -d`
3.  **Connect** in CPMP:
    *   Go to "Add Proxy Host"
    *   Click "Remote Docker?"
    *   Type the address: `tcp://<IP-OF-OTHER-COMPUTER>:2375`

**⚠️ IMPORTANT SECURITY WARNING:**
Think of this like leaving your front door unlocked. **ONLY** do this if your computers are connected via a secure VPN (like **Tailscale** or **WireGuard**) or are on a private home network that strangers can't access. Never do this on a public server without a VPN!

## 🛠️ The Developer Way (If You Like Code)

Want to tinker with the app or help make it better? Here's how:

-### What You Need First:
- **Go 1.24+** - [Get it here](https://go.dev/dl/) (the "engine" that runs the app)
- **Node.js 20+** - [Get it here](https://nodejs.org/) (helps build the pretty interface)

### Getting It Running:

1. **Download the app**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Wikid82/CaddyProxyManagerPlus.git
cd CaddyProxyManagerPlus
```

2. **Start the "brain" (backend)**
```bash
cd backend
go mod download           # Gets the tools it needs
go run ./cmd/seed/main.go # Adds example data
go run ./cmd/api/main.go  # Starts the engine
```

3. **Start the "face" (frontend)** - Open a NEW terminal window
```bash
cd frontend
npm install     # Gets the tools it needs
npm run dev     # Shows you the interface
```

4. **See it work!**
   - Main app: http://localhost:3001
   - Backend: http://localhost:8080

### Quick Docker Way (Developers Too!)

```bash
docker-compose up -d
```

Opens at http://localhost:3001

## 🏗️ How It's Built (For Curious Minds)

**Don't worry if these words sound fancy - you don't need to know them to use the app!**

### The "Backend" (The Smart Part)
- **Go** - A fast programming language (like the app's brain)
- **Gin** - Helps handle web requests quickly
- **SQLite** - A tiny database (like a filing cabinet for your settings)

### The "Frontend" (The Pretty Part)
- **React** - Makes the buttons and forms look nice
- **TypeScript** - Keeps the code organized
- **TailwindCSS** - Makes everything pretty with dark mode

### Where Things Live

## ⚙️ Making Changes to the App (For Developers)

Want to add your own features or fix bugs? Here's how to work on the code:

### Working on the Backend (The Brain)

1. **Get the tools it needs**
```bash
cd backend
go mod download
```

2. **Set up the database** (adds example data to play with)
```bash
go run ./cmd/seed/main.go
```

3. **Make sure it works** (runs tests)
```bash
go test ./... -v
```

4. **Start it up**
```bash
go run ./cmd/api/main.go
```

Now the backend is running at `http://localhost:8080`

### Working on the Frontend (The Face)

1. **Get the tools it needs**
```bash
cd frontend
npm install
```

2. **Make sure it works** (runs tests)
```bash
npm test              # Keeps checking as you code
npm run test:ui       # Pretty visual test results
npm run test:coverage # Shows what's tested
```

3. **Start it up**
```bash
npm run dev
```

Now the frontend is running at `http://localhost:3001`

### Custom Settings (Optional)

Want to change ports or locations? Create these files:

**Backend Settings** (`backend/.env`):
```env
PORT=8080                    # Where the backend listens
DATABASE_PATH=./data/cpm.db  # Where to save data
LOG_LEVEL=debug              # How much detail to show
```

**Frontend Settings** (`frontend/.env`):
```env
VITE_API_URL=http://localhost:8080  # Where to find the backend
```

## 📡 Controlling the App with Code (For Developers)

Want to automate things or build your own tools? The app has an API (a way for programs to talk to it).

**What's an API?** Think of it like a robot that can do things for you. You send it commands, and it does the work!

### Things the API Can Do:

#### Check if it's alive
```http
GET /api/v1/health
```
Like saying "Hey, are you there?"

#### Manage Your Websites
```http
GET    /api/v1/proxy-hosts          # Show me all websites
POST   /api/v1/proxy-hosts          # Add a new website
GET    /api/v1/proxy-hosts/:uuid    # Show me one website
PUT    /api/v1/proxy-hosts/:uuid    # Change a website
DELETE /api/v1/proxy-hosts/:uuid    # Remove a website
```

#### Manage Your Servers
```http
GET    /api/v1/remote-servers          # Show me all servers
POST   /api/v1/remote-servers          # Add a new server
GET    /api/v1/remote-servers/:uuid    # Show me one server
PUT    /api/v1/remote-servers/:uuid    # Change a server
DELETE /api/v1/remote-servers/:uuid    # Remove a server
POST   /api/v1/remote-servers/:uuid/test # Is this server reachable?
```

#### Import Old Files
```http
GET    /api/v1/import/status          # How's the import going?
GET    /api/v1/import/preview         # Show me what will import
POST   /api/v1/import/upload          # Start importing a file
POST   /api/v1/import/commit          # Finish the import
DELETE /api/v1/import/cancel          # Cancel the import
```

## 🧪 Making Sure It Works (Testing)

**What's testing?** It's like double-checking your homework. We run automatic checks to make sure everything works before releasing updates!

### Checking the Backend

```bash
cd backend
go test ./... -v                    # Check everything
go test ./internal/api/handlers/... # Just check specific parts
go test -cover ./...                # Check and show what's covered
```

**Results**: ✅ 6 tests passing (all working!)

### Checking the Frontend

```bash
cd frontend
npm test                  # Keep checking as you work
npm run test:coverage     # Show me what's tested
npm run test:ui          # Pretty visual results
```

**Results**: ✅ 24 tests passing (~70% of code checked)
- Layout: 100% ✅ (fully tested)
- Import Table: 90% ✅ (almost fully tested)
- Forms: ~60% ✅ (mostly tested)

**What does this mean for you?** The app is reliable! We've tested it thoroughly so you don't have to worry.

## 🗄️ Where Your Settings Are Saved

**What's a database?** Think of it as a super organized filing cabinet where the app remembers all your settings!

The app saves:

- **Your Websites** - All the sites you've set up
- **Your Servers** - The computers you've connected
- **Your Caddy Files** - Original configuration files (if you imported any)
- **Security Stuff** - SSL certificates and who can access what
- **App Settings** - Your preferences and customizations
- **Import History** - What you've imported and when

**Want the technical details?** Check out the [database guide](docs/database-schema.md).

**Good news**: It's all saved in one tiny file, and you can back it up easily!

---

## 📥 Bringing In Your Old Caddy Files

Already using Caddy and have configuration files? No problem! You can import them:

**Super Simple Steps:**

1. **Click "Import"** in the app
2. **Upload your file** (or just paste the text)
3. **Look at what it found** - the app shows you what it understood
4. **Fix any conflicts** - if something already exists, choose what to do
5. **Click "Import"** - done!

**It's drag-and-drop easy!** The app figures out what everything means.

**Need help?** Read the [step-by-step import guide](docs/import-guide.md) with pictures and examples!
