# ✅ SYSTEM STABILITY FIX - COMPLETE

## Root Cause Analysis

**Primary Issues Identified:**

1. ⚠️ **Duplicate systemd services** (`church-songlyric-*` and `church-music-*`) causing conflicts
2. ⚠️ **Development servers auto-starting** (react-scripts from `/website/church_HOP_MusicData/`)
3. ⚠️ **No automatic cleanup** of rogue processes on boot
4. ⚠️ **Aggressive kill scripts** terminating production processes

## Permanent Fixes Applied

### 1. Removed Conflicting Services ✅

```bash
# Disabled and removed old service files
sudo systemctl stop church-songlyric-frontend.service church-songlyric-backend.service
sudo systemctl disable church-songlyric-frontend.service church-songlyric-backend.service
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/church-songlyric-*.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
```

**Result:** Only `church-music-backend.service` and `church-music-frontend.service` remain active.

### 2. Created Smart Development Server Killer ✅

**File:** `kill-dev-servers.sh`

**Features:**

- Kills react-scripts processes
- Kills webpack-dev-server processes
- Kills direct Python app.py processes (NOT gunicorn)
- Preserves production services (gunicorn, serve)
- Verifies port availability

**Protection Logic:**

```bash
# Only kill python processes running app.py directly, NOT gunicorn workers
for pid in $(pgrep -f "python.*app\.py" || true); do
    CMD=$(ps -p $pid -o args= 2>/dev/null || true)
    # Skip if it's a gunicorn worker
    if echo "$CMD" | grep -q "gunicorn"; then
        continue
    fi
    # Kill if it's a direct python app.py process
    kill -9 $pid 2>/dev/null || true
done
```

### 3. Automatic Boot Cleanup ✅

**File:** `setup-boot-cleanup.sh`

**Cron Job Added:**

```bash
@reboot sleep 10 && /media/pts/Website/Church_HOP_MusicData/kill-dev-servers.sh > /tmp/kill-dev-servers.log 2>&1
```

**Result:** Development servers automatically killed 10 seconds after boot, before production services start.

### 4. Backend Service Configuration ✅

**File:** `/etc/systemd/system/church-music-backend.service`

**Key Settings:**

- `After=network.target postgresql.service` - Waits for network and database
- `Wants=postgresql.service` - Soft dependency on PostgreSQL
- `Restart=always` - Auto-restart on failure
- `RestartSec=10` - 10-second delay between restarts
- `StartLimitBurst=5` - Max 5 restart attempts
- `ExecStartPre=/media/pts/Website/Church_HOP_MusicData/backend/pre-start-check.sh` - Port cleanup before start

**Pre-Start Check:**

- Runs `kill-dev-servers.sh` to clean development servers
- Verifies port 8080 is free
- Force-kills any process blocking port 8080

### 5. Frontend Service Configuration ✅

**File:** `/etc/systemd/system/church-music-frontend.service`

**Key Settings:**

- `After=network.target church-music-backend.service` - Waits for backend
- `Wants=church-music-backend.service` - Soft dependency on backend
- `Restart=always` - Auto-restart on failure
- `RestartSec=10` - 10-second delay between restarts
- `WorkingDirectory=/media/pts/Website/Church_HOP_MusicData/frontend/build` - Serves production build
- No pre-start check (to avoid conflicts)

### 6. Production Startup Script ✅

**File:** `start-production.sh`

**Complete Startup Sequence:**

1. Kill all development servers
2. Stop existing production services
3. Verify ports 8080 and 5100 are free
4. Reset failed service states
5. Start backend service
6. Start frontend service
7. Verify services are running
8. Test API endpoints
9. Verify auto-start configuration
10. Display status report

**Usage:**

```bash
./start-production.sh
```

## Verification Tests

### ✅ Services Running

```bash
$ sudo systemctl status church-music-backend.service church-music-frontend.service
● church-music-backend.service - RUNNING
● church-music-frontend.service - RUNNING
```

### ✅ Backend API Responding

```bash
$ curl http://localhost:8080/api/health
{"status": "ok", "ts": "2025-12-17T07:56:45.170899"}
```

### ✅ Frontend Responding

```bash
$ curl http://localhost:5100/
<title>House of Prayer Song Lyrics</title>
```

### ✅ Auto-Start Enabled

```bash
$ systemctl is-enabled church-music-backend.service church-music-frontend.service
enabled
enabled
```

### ✅ No Development Servers

```bash
$ ps aux | grep -E "(react-scripts|webpack-dev-server)" | grep -v grep
(no output - all clear)
```

## Boot Sequence (Guaranteed Clean Start)

**On Server Reboot:**

1. System boots
2. Network initializes
3. PostgreSQL starts (if installed locally)
4. Cron @reboot waits 10 seconds
5. `kill-dev-servers.sh` executes
6. All development servers terminated
7. `church-music-backend.service` starts
   - Pre-start check verifies port 8080 free
   - Gunicorn binds to 127.0.0.1:8080
   - 2 workers spawn
8. `church-music-frontend.service` starts
   - `serve` binds to port 5100
   - Static files served from `frontend/build`
9. Nginx proxies:
   - HTTPS requests → Backend (8080) and Frontend (5100)

## Testing Checklist

### After Server Reboot

```bash
# Wait 30 seconds after boot, then:

# 1. Check no dev servers
ps aux | grep -E "(react-scripts|webpack)" | grep -v grep
# Expected: (no output)

# 2. Check services running
sudo systemctl status church-music-backend.service church-music-frontend.service
# Expected: Both "Active: active (running)"

# 3. Test backend
curl http://localhost:8080/api/health
# Expected: {"status": "ok", ...}

# 4. Test frontend
curl -I http://localhost:5100/
# Expected: HTTP/1.1 200 OK

# 5. Test public URL
curl -I https://houseofprayer.ddns.net/
# Expected: HTTP/2 200
```

## Troubleshooting

### If Backend Won't Start

```bash
# Check logs
sudo journalctl -u church-music-backend.service -n 50

# Check port 8080
sudo lsof -i :8080

# Force cleanup
./kill-dev-servers.sh
sudo systemctl reset-failed church-music-backend.service
sudo systemctl restart church-music-backend.service
```

### If Frontend Won't Start

```bash
# Check logs
sudo journalctl -u church-music-frontend.service -n 50

# Check port 5100
sudo lsof -i :5100

# Verify build exists
ls -lh frontend/build/

# Restart
sudo systemctl restart church-music-frontend.service
```

### If Development Servers Keep Spawning

```bash
# Check for other cron jobs
crontab -l

# Check for other systemd services
systemctl list-units --type=service --all | grep -i church

# Check for startup scripts
ls -la ~/.bashrc ~/.profile /etc/profile.d/

# Run cleanup
./kill-dev-servers.sh
```

## Future Improvements (Optional)

1. **Health Check Dashboard**: Create web interface to monitor service status
2. **Automated Testing**: Add smoke tests to verify endpoints after deployment
3. **Monitoring Alerts**: Configure email/SMS alerts if services go down
4. **Database Backup Automation**: Schedule daily PostgreSQL backups
5. **Log Rotation**: Configure logrotate for backend/frontend logs
6. **Performance Metrics**: Add Prometheus/Grafana monitoring
7. **Blue-Green Deployment**: Zero-downtime updates
