Make Backspace self-hostable in any homelab environment, not just a clean host
that owns ports 80/443.
install.sh is now mode-aware and auto-detects which fits:
- allinone (default): bundled Caddy + auto-HTTPS — unchanged behavior
- proxy: behind your own reverse proxy (nginx / Traefik / Caddy / Nginx Proxy
Manager / SWAG) — app published on 127.0.0.1:APP_PORT, no bundled Caddy,
prints paste-ready proxy snippets
- tunnel: behind a tunnel (Cloudflare / Tailscale) — same, plus a 90MB upload
cap (under Cloudflare's 100MB body limit) and voice force-disabled (WebRTC
over UDP can't traverse a tunnel)
Port detection is Docker-aware (consults `docker ps` published ports, not just
`ss`), so a host whose proxy already owns 80/443 via iptables DNAT — with no
listening socket for `ss` to see — is correctly detected as "taken" instead of
dead-ending.
docker-compose.proxy.yml is a small overlay, layered via COMPOSE_FILE (written
into .env so no `-f` flags are ever needed), that publishes the loopback port and
parks Caddy in an inert profile. The base compose file is untouched, so All-in-One
behaves exactly as before.
Prebuilt image: .github/workflows/docker-publish.yml builds and pushes a
multi-arch (linux/amd64 + linux/arm64) image to ghcr.io/thezwiss/backspace on
release tags (and manual dispatch), so weak/ARM hosts skip the ~1.6GB local build
(the Vite build OOMs small ARM boxes). install.sh and docker-compose.yml default
to pulling it, fall back to an image already present on the host, and finally to a
from-source build — AGPL §13 commit stamping preserved on every path. Kept
deliberately separate from the desktop-installer workflow (release.yml).
Docs: README gains a "Deployment modes" section (all three modes, nginx / Caddy /
Traefik snippets, GUI-proxy field-by-field, cloudflared ingress, the update path,
and voice-per-mode caveats); docs/systems/deployment.md updated to match.
Verified live on a throwaway VM: proxy + all-in-one end-to-end through install.sh
(with a real Let's Encrypt cert), tunnel config generation, loopback-only binding,
and the local-image fallback path.
