 "page_title": "How to self-host a team instance with Docker Compose with Social Coach",
 "summary": "Deploy a single-instance Social Coach behind Caddy with automatic HTTPS on your own server.",
 "who": "An ops-minded team lead or coach who wants a private Social Coach instance on a domain they control for a small group.",
 "problem": "A shared group needs a hosted practice tool on its own domain rather than the public demo.",
 "outcome": "The app is reachable over HTTPS at your domain and responds to a practice request.",
 "steps": [
  "From the repository root, run `cd app` and then `cp .env.production.example .env.production`.",
  "Edit .env.production with your model credentials and rate limit settings.",
  "Replace example.com in the Caddyfile with your domain, point that domain's DNS to the server, and make sure ports 80 and 443 are open.",
  "Run `docker compose up -d --build` from the app folder.",
  "Open your domain in a browser and complete one practice dialogue to confirm the deployment."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the SocialCoach repository, prepare a Docker Compose deployment in the app folder using <domain> and the provider settings in .env.production. Confirm that the Caddyfile uses the domain, that docker compose up -d --build succeeds, and that the site responds over HTTPS. Report the steps that need a human, such as DNS and secrets.",

 "requirements": [
  "A web browser for the hosted site at socialcoach.aurax.live",
  "For a local run: Node.js 22+, pnpm 11, and Anthropic or OpenAI compatible model credentials",
  "For self-hosting: a server with Docker, a domain name pointed at it, and ports 80 and 443 open"
