`prisma migrate deploy` ran in one place only: a workflow step on the Gitea
runner, which has to reach the target host's MySQL on 3306 directly. Two
paths went around it:
- `skip_migrate=true`, the documented answer for when the runner cannot
reach 3306, left the schema a release behind with nothing to catch it.
The mismatch surfaced later as a column-not-found at runtime rather than
as a failed deploy.
- A container brought back by `restart: unless-stopped` after a host
reboot, or a stack re-applied by hand in Portainer, never runs the
workflow at all.
docker/api-entrypoint.sh becomes the api image's ENTRYPOINT: migrate, then
exec node. If the migration fails the container exits non-zero and the API
never listens — serving against a schema that does not match the code is
worse than being down, because the failures are partial and silent (a write
to a missing column breaks one feature while the rest looks healthy).
This does not replace the workflow step and is not a substitute for it. That
step still runs FIRST, while the old code is serving, which is the order
expand/contract migrations are designed around. `migrate deploy` is
idempotent, so on the normal path the container's run is a no-op query.
Behaviour:
RUN_MIGRATIONS=false skip and start anyway; plumbed through both app
stack files, for a schema moved by hand
DATABASE_URL unset refuse to start, and say why
P1001 (unreachable) retry, default 20 x 3s -- a cold db container, and
galactus's MagicDNS lookup right after a reboot
anything else exit at once; retrying a broken migration only
delays the same error. P3005 prints the
`migrate resolve --applied 0000_init` hint the
workflow step already printed.
Only P1001 retries, so a genuinely broken migration is not buried under a
minute of noise.
Both stacks are replicas: 1 and must stay so for an unrelated reason (the
servicios email sweep has no DB lock). The old comment claiming migrations
must not run per-container because "N replicas would race" is dropped: they
would not corrupt anything, since Prisma takes a database advisory lock and
the losers find nothing pending -- they would only each pay the wait.
The prisma CLI is already in the runtime layer (the image copies
/repo/node_modules wholesale), but which of the two plausible .bin paths
carries it is an implementation detail of pnpm's hoisted linker, so the
entrypoint accepts either and the Dockerfile asserts one exists at BUILD
time. A missing CLI breaks the image build, not a production boot.
Verified by running the entrypoint against stubbed prisma binaries: clean
run, P3005, P1001-to-exhaustion, P1001-then-recovery, RUN_MIGRATIONS=false,
missing DATABASE_URL, missing CLI.

Jorge Cuadros & Asociados — Platform
Internal platform for a Baja California insurance brokerage and property-services
firm: a single expedient joining each client's properties/services,
insurance policies, account statement, and the firm's checkbook.
It replaces a legacy PHP/Access app (see RESUME.md and PLAN.md for the full
history and rebuild rationale, and docs/BACKLOG.md for
everything still outstanding).
The UI is Spanish-first; the codebase and this document are in English.

API feature modules: auth, users, customers, policies, properties,
billing, bank, reports, notifications, renewals, mail, statements,
policy-ocr, ocr, storage, settings, ops.
Web routes: /inicio, /clientes, /polizas (+ /polizas/captura, policy
PDF OCR capture), /servicios, /estado-cuenta, /banco (chequera),
/recibos (utility statement OCR capture), /notificaciones (mass email +
renewal avisos; /renovaciones is an alias onto its Pólizas tab), /reportes,
/catalogos, /operaciones (DB ingest/backup, ADMIN), /usuarios, /login.
Two OCR intakes share one OcrProvider seam (src/ocr/, Tesseract today):
utility statements → ledger rows (docs/STATEMENT_OCR.md)
and carrier policy PDFs → Policy rows (docs/POLICY_OCR.md).
Both need tesseract-ocr, tesseract-ocr-data-spa, poppler-utils and object
storage; each reports its own availability and disables only itself if either
is missing.
Prerequisites
- Node.js >= 20 and pnpm (
npm i -g pnpm) - Docker (for MySQL, or bring your own MySQL 8)
- Python 3 — only if you run the legacy data migration
Run it locally (development)
1. Install
pnpm install
pnpm blocks postinstall build scripts by default; the trusted ones
(argon2, prisma, @prisma/client, @prisma/engines, @nestjs/core) are
allowlisted in pnpm-workspace.yaml, so the native builds run automatically.
2. Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
Then edit .env. For the Docker MySQL below the defaults already line up;
just set a real SESSION_SECRET:
DATABASE_URL=mysql://jorgecuadros:jorgecuadros@localhost:3306/jorgecuadros
SESSION_SECRET=<any long random string>
WEB_ORIGIN=http://localhost:3000
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_ORIGIN=http://localhost:3001
The API loads DATABASE_URL, SESSION_SECRET, WEB_ORIGIN, and optional
PORT (default 3001). WEB_ORIGIN is comma-separated — list every origin the
app is reached under, or credentialed fetches from the missing ones fail CORS.
The web app needs no API URL of its own: the browser derives it from the page it
loaded (same host on port 3001 over plain HTTP, or the same-origin /api path
behind a TLS proxy). Set NEXT_PUBLIC_API_ORIGIN (dev) or API_ORIGIN (deploy,
read at request time) only to override that — for instance when running the API
on a non-default port.
3. Start MySQL
docker compose up -d mysql
(Or point DATABASE_URL at an existing MySQL 8 instance.)
4. Create the schema + generate the Prisma client
The schema is managed with prisma db push (no migration history committed):
pnpm --filter @jorgecuadros/database exec prisma db push
pnpm --filter @jorgecuadros/database generate
5. Seed a sign-in user
node apps/api/scripts/seed-user.mjs
Idempotent (upsert by email). Defaults — override with SEED_EMAIL,
SEED_PASSWORD, SEED_NAME:
- email:
admin@jorgecuadros.local - password:
ChangeMe!2026 - role:
ADMIN
6. Run the apps (two terminals)
# API → http://localhost:3001
pnpm --filter @jorgecuadros/api start:dev
# Web → http://localhost:3000
pnpm --filter @jorgecuadros/web dev
Root shortcuts also exist: pnpm dev:api, pnpm dev:web.
7. Log in
Open http://localhost:3000, sign in with the seeded credentials. Sessions are cookie-based and last 8 hours.
Run it with Docker (full stack)
Builds MySQL + API + web from docker-compose.yml:
export SESSION_SECRET=$(openssl rand -hex 32)
docker compose up --build
Web on http://localhost:3000, API on http://localhost:3001. SESSION_SECRET
is required (compose fails without it). After first boot, push the schema and
seed a user against the container DB:
docker compose exec api node apps/api/scripts/seed-user.mjs
Common commands
| Task | Command |
|---|---|
| Install | pnpm install |
| Dev — API | pnpm dev:api |
| Dev — Web | pnpm dev:web |
| Build all | pnpm build |
| Generate Prisma client | pnpm prisma:generate |
| Push schema (dev) | pnpm --filter @jorgecuadros/database exec prisma db push |
| Prisma Studio | pnpm prisma:studio |
| API tests | pnpm --filter @jorgecuadros/api test |
| Lint (web / api) | pnpm --filter @jorgecuadros/web lint · ... /api lint |
| Seed admin user | node apps/api/scripts/seed-user.mjs |
Auth & roles
Session auth via Passport local strategy; passwords hashed with Argon2 (no
plaintext, unlike the legacy app). Roles gate the UI and API — e.g. managing
/catalogos and /usuarios requires the appropriate ability (ADMIN /
MANAGER). New users are created by an admin in /usuarios; the first admin
comes from the seed script above.
Legacy data migration (optional)
migration/ holds the one-off Python ETL that lifts data out of the old
Microsoft Access database into MySQL.
pip install -r migration/requirements.txt
python migration/run_all.py
⚠️
run_all.pytruncates and reloads all downstream tables. Never run an individualtransform_*.pyin isolation — it orphans dependent tables. Seemigration/RECONCILIATION.mdfor details.
Scheduled jobs
The API runs two automatic email sweeps. Neither cadence is in the source:
both are stored in app_settings and edited at /notificaciones →
"Programación de envíos" (ADMIN, setting:manage), taking effect immediately
without a restart. Shipped defaults:
| Job | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Pólizas | on, 06:00 daily (America/Tijuana) | Renewal avisos at 30/15 days before expiry and 7 days after. |
| Servicios | off | All four mass-email jobs in order, same as "Ejecutar todos". |
A scheduled run never uses the UI's send flags — in particular it ignores
debug, so a forgotten test toggle cannot silently stop customer mail. Full
detail in docs/MASS_EMAIL_NOTIFICATIONS.md.
Sending needs SES_* in the environment. Without it the API still boots and
logs mail to stdout in dev; in production every send fails loudly and is
recorded as FAILED rather than quietly going nowhere.
Production notes
- Use
pnpm --filter @jorgecuadros/database exec prisma migrate deployif/when a committed migration history is adopted; today dev usesdb push. - Set a strong
SESSION_SECRETand a locked-downDATABASE_URL. - The API expects
WEB_ORIGINto match the browser origin for session cookies. - Documents are stored in MinIO in the deployed environment (see
RESUME.md).
