Deployment

Deploy the platform to a single VPS with Docker Compose + nginx. The stack is PostgreSQL + Redis + Go API (also the OIDC issuer) + Next.js BFF.

Prerequisites

  • Docker + the compose plugin
  • nginx + certbot (TLS)
  • A DNS record pointing at the server

Topology

Internet ──► nginx (80/443, Let's Encrypt)
   ├─ /oauth2/*, /.well-known/*, /userinfo ─► api (OIDC issuer)
   ├─ /rp/sign/*      ─► api relay
   ├─ /rp/eid/*, /rp/eid-org/* ─► api (eID proxy)
   └─ everything else  ─► web (Next.js BFF) ──► api
   internal: db (Postgres 16) · redis (7)

Env files (gitignored)

  • .env — compose interpolation (Postgres/Redis secrets, ports, domain).
  • backend.env — API config (JWT_SECRET, EID_RP_, OAUTH_ISSUER, SSO_, …).

Separate secrets

Every deployment must have its own JWT_SECRET, SSO_STATE_KEY and RP credentials — never shared across deployments.

Deploy steps

# 1) get the code
git clone git@github.com:gerege-systems/sso-dgov-mn.git /srv/sso-dgov-mn
cd /srv/sso-dgov-mn

# 2) create the env files (.env + backend.env)

# 3) bring the stack up — migrate applies the schema automatically
docker compose up -d --build

# or re-deploy:
bash deploy/deploy.sh

nginx (example)

server {
    server_name sso.dgov.mn;
    client_max_body_size 30m;

    location /oauth2/                           { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4446; include /etc/nginx/proxy_params; }
    location = /.well-known/openid-configuration { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4446; include /etc/nginx/proxy_params; }
    location = /.well-known/jwks.json            { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4446; include /etc/nginx/proxy_params; }
    location = /userinfo                         { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4446; include /etc/nginx/proxy_params; }

    location /rp/sign/    { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8081/rp/sign/; include /etc/nginx/proxy_params; }
    location /rp/eid/     { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8081/api/v1/eid/;     include /etc/nginx/proxy_params; }
    location /rp/eid-org/ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8081/api/v1/eid-org/; include /etc/nginx/proxy_params; }

    location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3008; include /etc/nginx/proxy_params; }
    listen 443 ssl;  # certbot managed
}

Compose project name

You can run several deployments side by side on one server. Each must have its own COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME, ports and volumes in its .env — otherwise image tags / volumes collide.

Deployment Domain Ports (example)
sso-dgov-mn sso.dgov.mn web 3008
template-dgov-mn template.dgov.mn web 3009
