build: migrate off Vercel to self-hosted static export + Caddy - #9
Conversation
Serve the site as a fully static Next.js export (`output: "export"`) behind Caddy in a slim Docker image, replacing Vercel hosting. Cuts the prod image from ~1.5GB to ~47MB. Hosting / image: - Rewrite Dockerfile: deps -> build -> caddy:2-alpine runtime serving the exported `out/`, with BuildKit cache mounts for bun + .next/cache. - Add Caddyfile (HTTP :80 behind an external TLS proxy; clean URLs, compression, immutable asset caching, Document-Policy for Sentry browser profiling). - Add .dockerignore. - publish-image workflow now builds on `v*.*.*` tags and pushes to GHCR with VERSION (from the git tag) + COMMIT_SHA build args; drop the package.json version gate. Remove the Vercel deploy workflow. De-Vercel: - Remove @vercel/analytics, @vercel/speed-insights, vercel.json. - Sentry environment is now derived at runtime from hostname instead of VERCEL_ENV, so one image serves staging and prod. Static-export cleanup: - Delete server/edge Sentry (config + instrumentation) and @sentry/profiling-node; keep client Sentry + sourcemap upload. - Delete Sentry example route/page (route handlers are unsupported). - Force-static the sitemap. Add a footer showing app version + commit (NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_VERSION / NEXT_PUBLIC_COMMIT_SHA build args) for later display.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe application now builds as a static Next.js export and serves through Caddy on port 8080. Docker uses staged Bun builds. Image publishing runs for version tags. Vercel deployment, analytics, example Sentry pages, and server Sentry configuration were removed. ChangesStatic export and container publishing
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This PR replaces Vercel with a static export served by Caddy and changes image publication. Current issues could prevent the development container from starting correctly, block release image publication, or apply incorrect browser caching to responses, so merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance.

Bug: The ENV instruction in the Dockerfile uses Bash-style parameter expansion (${VERSION#v}), which is not supported. This will result in an incorrect application version string.
Severity: MEDIUM
Suggested Fix
To correctly strip the prefix from the VERSION argument, use a RUN instruction with a shell to set the environment variable and export it, for example by writing to /etc/profile.d/. Alternatively, perform the string manipulation in the CI/CD workflow before passing the value to the docker build command.

not valid.
Location: Dockerfile#L18
Potential issue: The `ENV` instruction on line 18 of the Dockerfile, `ENV
NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_VERSION=${VERSION#v}`, uses Bash-style parameter expansion to strip the
'v' prefix from the `VERSION` build argument. This syntax is not supported by Docker's
standard `ENV` instruction. Consequently, the `NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_VERSION` environment
variable will be set to an incorrect value during the Docker build. This incorrect value
is then read by the Next.js application and rendered in the footer, causing the wrong
version number to be displayed to users.

Inline comments:
In @.github/workflows/publish-image.yml:
- Around line 28-33: Update the Docker login step to use docker/login-action@v4
instead of `@v2`, preserving the existing GHCR registry, username, and
GITHUB_TOKEN configuration.
In `@Caddyfile`:
- Around line 38-47: Update the Caddyfile try_files directive so its final
fallback is =404 rather than /404.html, allowing handle_errors to serve
/404.html while preserving the HTTP 404 status for missing routes.
In `@Dockerfile`:
- Around line 41-45: Update the Dockerfile’s dev stage after WORKDIR to copy the
application source, public assets, and Next.js configuration into /usr/src/app,
matching the inputs used by the build stage before CMD runs bun dev.
- Line 19: Update the Dockerfile ENV assignment for NEXT_PUBLIC_COMMIT_SHA to
use "local" as the fallback when COMMIT_SHA is unset, matching the fallback
check in the Footer component and preventing local builds from linking to a
nonexistent commit.
- Around line 50-54: Update the runtime stage based on caddy:2-alpine to run
Caddy as a non-root user: create or reuse an unprivileged USER, grant it read
access to /srv and write access to /data and /config, and update the Caddyfile
listener from :80 to an unprivileged port unless NET_BIND_SERVICE is explicitly
granted. Keep the existing Caddy startup behavior intact.
- Around line 15-19: Define NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN as a Docker build argument
and expose it before the bun run build step, then pass the Sentry DSN build
value from .github/workflows/publish-image.yml at lines 43-47. Update the
Dockerfile metadata block at lines 15-19 and the workflow’s image build
arguments, preserving the existing version and commit SHA handling.

Address review findings on the self-hosted image pipeline.
Dockerfile:
- Add ARG NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN and pass it into `bun run build` so the
exported client bundle actually reports to Sentry in production (was
never provided → prod shipped with no DSN).
- Move NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_VERSION / NEXT_PUBLIC_COMMIT_SHA into the build
RUN shell; `${VERSION#v}` prefix-stripping is unsupported in stable
Dockerfile ENV substitution, so the ENV form left the leading "v".
- Run Caddy as a non-root user; serve on unprivileged :8080; chown
/srv, /data, /config; EXPOSE 8080.
Caddyfile:
- try_files final fallback :80→=404 so missing routes return a real HTTP
404 (handle_errors still serves Next's exported 404.html) instead of a
soft 404 with HTTP 200.
- Listen on :8080 to match the non-root runtime.
CI (publish-image.yml):
- Bump docker/login-action v2 → v4.
- Pass NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN build-arg from the repo variable.

Because the block also deletes
X-Powered-By, Caddy defers its header operations. Caddy orders the named@immutablehandler before the catch-all handler, so the deferredCache-Control: no-cachecan overwrite the immutable value. (caddyserver.com)Use
