+# Continuous Deployment: Auto-deploy to staging when CI passes
+
+## Context
+
+CI is complete (Percival ch. 25). The Woodpecker pipeline runs 57 UTs + 9 FTs on every push to Gitea, but deployment to staging is still manual (`ansible-playbook infra/deploy-playbook.yaml`). This plan adds CD: when tests pass on the `main` branch, the pipeline automatically builds the Docker image, pushes it to the Gitea container registry, and deploys it to `staging.earthmanrpg.me`.
+
+**Architecture:** Build in CI pipeline -> push to Gitea registry -> SSH to staging -> pull + restart
+
+---
+
+## Stage 1: Enable Docker socket in Woodpecker pipeline steps
+
+The Woodpecker agent already has the Docker socket mounted (line 53 of `infra/cicd/docker-compose.yaml`), but pipeline steps (containers the agent launches) don't inherit it. We need to tell the agent to pass it through.
+
+### 1a. Edit `infra/cicd/docker-compose.yaml` -- add env var to `woodpecker-agent`
+
+Add this to the agent's `environment:` block:
+
+```yaml
+- WOODPECKER_BACKEND_DOCKER_VOLUMES=/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
+```
+
+**Why:** This makes the host Docker socket available inside every pipeline step container. Without it, the `docker build` and `docker push` commands in our pipeline step would fail with "cannot connect to Docker daemon."
+
+### 1b. Re-deploy CI stack
+
+From WSL:
+
+```bash
+ansible-playbook infra/cicd-playbook.yaml -i infra/inventory.ini --ask-vault-pass
+```
+
+This uploads the updated docker-compose and restarts the CI services.
+
+---
+
+## Stage 2: Prepare staging server for CD
+
+Currently `deploy-playbook.yaml` does everything in one shot: installs Docker, builds the image locally, uploads it, runs it with inline `env:` vars, copies static files, migrates. For CD, we need to split "one-time setup" from "per-deploy actions."
+
+### 2a. Create `infra/gamearray.env.j2` -- container env file template (new file)
+
+```
+DJANGO_DEBUG_FALSE=1
+DJANGO_SECRET_KEY={{ secret_key.content | b64decode }}
+DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOST={{ django_allowed_host }}
+DJANGO_DB_PATH=/home/nonroot/db.sqlite3
+EMAIL_HOST_USER={{ email_host_user }}
+EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD={{ email_host_password }}
+MAILGUN_API_KEY={{ mailgun_api_key }}
+```
+
+**Why:** Instead of passing env vars inline in `docker run`, we template a `.env` file onto the staging server. The deploy script references it with `--env-file`. This keeps secrets out of the pipeline YAML and on the server, managed by Ansible vault.
+
+### 2b. Create `infra/deploy.sh.j2` -- deploy script template (new file)
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+set -euo pipefail
+
+IMAGE=gitea.earthmanrpg.me/discoman/gamearray:latest
+
+echo "==> Pulling latest image..."
+docker pull "$IMAGE"
+
+echo "==> Stopping old container..."
+docker stop gamearray 2>/dev/null || true
+docker rm gamearray 2>/dev/null || true
+
+echo "==> Starting new container..."
+docker run -d --name gamearray \
+  --env-file /opt/gamearray/gamearray.env \
+  -p 127.0.0.1:8888:8888 \
+  "$IMAGE"
+
+echo "==> Running migrations..."
+docker exec gamearray ./manage.py migrate
+
+echo "==> Copying static files..."
+sudo docker cp gamearray:/src/static/. /var/www/gamearray/static/
+
+echo "==> Deploy complete."
+```
+
+**Why:** A single script the pipeline calls via SSH. Keeps the pipeline YAML clean and lets us test deploys manually too (`ssh staging /opt/gamearray/deploy.sh`).
+
+### 2c. Update `infra/deploy-playbook.yaml` -- add env file, deploy script, and registry login
+
+Add these tasks (after the existing "Read secret key" task):
+
+1. **Create `/opt/gamearray/` directory** on staging
+2. **Template `gamearray.env.j2`** to `/opt/gamearray/gamearray.env` (mode 0600)
+3. **Template `deploy.sh.j2`** to `/opt/gamearray/deploy.sh` (mode 0755)
+4. **Docker login to Gitea registry** -- so the deploy script can `docker pull`
+
+For the Docker login, use a Gitea access token (created in the browser, stored in the staging vault):
+
+```yaml
+- name: Login to Gitea container registry
+  ansible.builtin.command:
+    cmd: docker login gitea.earthmanrpg.me -u discoman -p {{ gitea_registry_token }}
+  no_log: true
+```
+
+**Vault additions** needed for staging (`infra/group_vars/staging/vault.yaml`):
+- `gitea_registry_token` -- a Gitea personal access token with `package:read` scope
+
+### 2d. Run the deploy playbook
+
+```bash
+ansible-playbook infra/deploy-playbook.yaml -i infra/inventory.ini -l staging --ask-vault-pass
+```
+
+This sets up the staging server: env file, deploy script, and registry auth.
+
+---
+
+## Stage 3: Woodpecker secrets
+
+Two secrets need to be added via the Woodpecker UI (`https://ci.earthmanrpg.me` -> repo settings -> Secrets):
+
+### 3a. `deploy_ssh_key`
+
+Generate a dedicated SSH key pair for CD:
+
+```bash
+ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_cd_deploy -C "woodpecker-cd"
+```
+
+- Add the **public key** to `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` on staging (as `discoman` user)
+- Paste the **private key** contents into a Woodpecker secret named `deploy_ssh_key`
+
+### 3b. `gitea_registry_password`
+
+The Gitea access token (same one from Stage 2c, or a separate one with `package:read,package:write` scope).
+
+- Paste into a Woodpecker secret named `gitea_registry_password`
+- The `build-and-push` step will use this to `docker login` + `docker push`
+
+---
+
+## Stage 4: Update `.woodpecker.yaml`
+
+Add two new steps after `screendumps`:
+
+```yaml
+  - name: build-and-push
+    image: docker:cli
+    environment:
+      REGISTRY_PASSWORD:
+        from_secret: gitea_registry_password
+    commands:
+      - echo "$REGISTRY_PASSWORD" | docker login gitea.earthmanrpg.me -u discoman --password-stdin
+      - docker build -t gitea.earthmanrpg.me/discoman/gamearray:latest .
+      - docker push gitea.earthmanrpg.me/discoman/gamearray:latest
+    when:
+      - branch: main
+      - event: push
+
+  - name: deploy
+    image: alpine
+    environment:
+      SSH_KEY:
+        from_secret: deploy_ssh_key
+    commands:
+      - apk add --no-cache openssh-client
+      - mkdir -p ~/.ssh
+      - printf '%s\n' "$SSH_KEY" > ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
+      - chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
+      - ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no discoman@staging.earthmanrpg.me /opt/gamearray/deploy.sh
+    when:
+      - branch: main
+      - event: push
+```
+
+**Why `docker:cli` instead of a Docker plugin?** Using plain Docker CLI with the socket pass-through is more transparent than a third-party plugin. You can see exactly what's happening.
+
+**Why `alpine` + manual SSH instead of `appleboy/drone-ssh`?** Same reason -- fewer moving parts, easier to debug. The `printf` + `ssh` pattern is dead simple.
+
+**Branch gating:** Both steps only run on pushes to `main`. Feature branch pushes still run tests but don't deploy.
+
+---
+
+## Stage 5: Test end-to-end
+
+1. Push a small visible change (e.g., tweak a template's page title) to `main` on Gitea
+2. Watch the Woodpecker pipeline at `https://ci.earthmanrpg.me`:
+   - `test-UTs` passes
+   - `test-FTs` passes
+   - `build-and-push` builds the image and pushes to the registry
+   - `deploy` SSHes to staging and runs the deploy script
+3. Visit `https://staging.earthmanrpg.me` and verify the change is live
+
+---
+
+## Files modified
+
+| File | Action |
+|------|--------|
+| `infra/cicd/docker-compose.yaml` | Add `WOODPECKER_BACKEND_DOCKER_VOLUMES` to agent |
+| `infra/gamearray.env.j2` | **New** -- container env file template |
+| `infra/deploy.sh.j2` | **New** -- deploy script template |
+| `infra/deploy-playbook.yaml` | Add tasks for env file, deploy script, registry login |
+| `infra/group_vars/staging/vault.yaml` | Add `gitea_registry_token` |
+| `.woodpecker.yaml` | Add `build-and-push` and `deploy` steps |
+
+## Known limitation
+
+**Ephemeral database:** The SQLite database still lives inside the container (deferred issue from memory). Every deploy wipes it. This is fine for staging right now but will need a volume mount or PostgreSQL before production CD.
