# CapRover Deployment Guide - Quantum Tasks AI
## Overview
Step-by-step guide for deploying the Quantum Tasks AI Django application on CapRover.
## Prerequisites
- CapRover installed and running on your VPS
- GitHub repository with the project
- Basic understanding of Django and CapRover
---
## Part 1: Project Setup
### Required Files
Your repository contains these CapRover-ready files:
```
quantumtaskai-caprover/
├── captain-definition # CapRover configuration
├── Dockerfile.captain # Production Docker setup
├── requirements.txt # Essential Python dependencies
├── .dockerignore # Docker build optimization
└── netcop_hub/settings.py # Django settings with production support
```
### Key Features
- **Database**: Supports SQLite (dev), PostgreSQL (production)
- **Static Files**: WhiteNoise for production serving
- **Environment Variables**: Production-ready configuration
---
## Part 2: CapRover Deployment
### Step 1: Create New App
1. **Open CapRover Dashboard**
2. **Apps → Create New App**
3. **App Name**: `quantumtaskai` (or your preferred name)
4. **Click "Create New App"**
### Step 2: Configure GitHub Deployment
1. **Go to**: App → Deployment Tab
2. **Method**: Deploy from GitHub
3. **Repository**: `https://github.com/thecyberlearn/quantumtaskai-caprover.git`
4. **Branch**: `main`
5. **Authentication**: Use GitHub Personal Access Token
### Step 3: Environment Variables
**Go to**: App Configs → Environment Variables → Bulk Edit
**Essential Variables:**
```env
SECRET_KEY=your-unique-secret-key-here
DEBUG=false
ALLOWED_HOSTS=yourapp.yourdomain.com
DATABASE_URL=postgres://user:password@host:5432/database
```
**Optional Variables:**
```env
# Email Configuration (for notifications)
EMAIL_HOST_USER=your-email@gmail.com
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=your-app-password
# Stripe Configuration (for payments)
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_test_your_stripe_key
STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_your_webhook_secret
```
### Step 4: Deploy Application
1. **Deployment Tab****Deploy Now**
2. **Monitor build logs** for successful completion
3. **Check App URL** after deployment completes
---
## Part 3: Database Setup (Optional)
If you need PostgreSQL database:
### Option A: CapRover PostgreSQL
1. **One-Click Apps****PostgreSQL**
2. **Create database instance**
3. **Get connection details** from app configs
4. **Add DATABASE_URL** to your app environment variables
### Option B: External Database
1. **Use Railway, Neon, or other PostgreSQL provider**
2. **Get connection string**
3. **Add to environment variables**
---
## Part 4: Custom Domain (Optional)
1. **App Settings****HTTP Settings**
2. **Add your domain**: `yourdomain.com`
3. **Enable HTTPS**: Force HTTPS redirect
4. **Update DNS**: Point your domain to CapRover server IP
---
## Part 5: Post-Deployment
### Create Admin User
1. **App → Web Terminal**
2. **Run commands**:
```bash
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser
```
### Verify Deployment
1. **Visit your app URL**
2. **Check admin panel**: `/admin/`
3. **Test agent marketplace**: `/agents/`
---
## Troubleshooting
### Build Failures
- **Check logs** in Deployment tab
- **Verify environment variables** are set
- **Ensure SECRET_KEY** is properly set
### Runtime Issues
- **Check App Logs** in CapRover dashboard
- **Verify DATABASE_URL** format
- **Check ALLOWED_HOSTS** includes your domain
### Database Issues
- **Run migrations**: `python manage.py migrate`
- **Check database connectivity**
- **Verify PostgreSQL is running** (if using)
