# Deploying UdyamLinc Two artifacts, one host. | Artifact | Built from | Output | |---|---|---| | API | `UdyamLinc-Backend` | `target/udyamlinc-backend.war` (~80 MB) | | UI | `UdyamLinc-UI` | `dist/` (static files, ~880 kB) | **The war is also executable.** `spring-boot-maven-plugin` repackages it with the provided-scope Tomcat under `WEB-INF/lib-provided`, so one artifact both runs on its own and deploys into a container: ```bash java -jar udyamlinc-backend.war # embeds Tomcat 11 — recommended # or drop it into a servlet container — see §2c ``` ### Pointing the UI at the API without rebuilding The bundle reads its API base from **`config.js`**, served unbundled from the static root. Deploy the backend first, then edit one line on the server — no rebuild, no redeploy of the UI: ```js // config.js, at the web root next to index.html window.__UDYAM_CONFIG__ = { apiBaseUrl: '', // empty = same-origin /api/v1/udyam (the default) } ``` Set it only when the API is on another host: ```js apiBaseUrl: 'https://udyamlinc-api.lincpay.tech/api/v1/udyam' ``` Resolution order is `config.js` → the build-time `VITE_UDYAM_API_BASE_URL` → `/api/v1/udyam`. An empty string means "unset", so the shipped file needs no edit for a same-origin deployment. Two things that bite: - **`config.js` must never be cached.** The nginx and httpd configs below send `no-store` for it. Cached, it pins the old URL for everyone who has already loaded the app, and nothing on the server side shows it. - **A cross-origin value needs `UDYAM_CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS`** set to the UI's origin, or the browser blocks every call while the API itself looks perfectly healthy. The UI bundle is otherwise built with a **relative** default. It therefore contains no hostname, serves correctly from any domain, and is same-origin with the API. That last point is the one worth keeping: same-origin means CORS never applies, and CORS is the single largest source of "worked locally, broken on the server" in a split deployment. The only requirement on the web server is that it does two things: 1. serve `dist/` with an SPA fallback — unknown paths return `index.html`, because React Router owns `/officer/**`, `/nabard/**` and `/app/**`, not the file system; 2. pass `/api/**` through to the Spring Boot process on port 8082. Any of nginx, Apache httpd or Tomcat can do both. Pick the section that matches your box. --- ## 1. The API (identical in all three cases) The jar embeds Tomcat 11. It does not need an application server installed, and it does not go in `webapps/`. ```bash java -jar udyamlinc-backend.jar ``` Configuration is entirely by environment variable — nothing needs editing inside the jar: ```bash export UDYAM_DB_URL=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/UdyamLinc_DEMO export UDYAM_DB_USERNAME=postgres export UDYAM_DB_PASSWORD= # Set this. The default is committed to the repository, so it is public, and a # signing key anyone can read signs anyone's token. export UDYAM_JWT_SECRET= ``` `spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update` builds the schema on first boot, so the database only has to exist and be empty: ```sql CREATE DATABASE "UdyamLinc_DEMO"; ``` ### As a systemd service ```ini [Unit] Description=UdyamLinc API After=network.target postgresql.service [Service] User=udyamlinc WorkingDirectory=/opt/udyamlinc Environment=UDYAM_DB_URL=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/UdyamLinc_DEMO Environment=UDYAM_DB_USERNAME=postgres Environment=UDYAM_DB_PASSWORD=change-me Environment=UDYAM_JWT_SECRET=change-me ExecStart=/usr/bin/java -jar /opt/udyamlinc/udyamlinc-backend.jar SuccessExitStatus=143 Restart=on-failure [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ``` ### First boot takes a while, and the failure mode is silent `UdyamDataSeeder` populates 263 enterprises across 8 partner banks and 16 branches, and it runs as **one transaction**. Nothing is visible in the database until it commits. This has bitten us once already: the machine slept mid-seed, the transaction stayed open overnight, and every figure read from the console during that window was the pre-seed state — reported confidently, with no warning anywhere. **Watch for the seeder's final log line before trusting any number on screen**, and check its timestamp rather than just its text. Verify the API is up: ```bash curl -s localhost:8082/api/v1/udyam/auth/regional-offices ``` That endpoint is deliberately public — the login page reads it before anyone has signed in — so it is a clean liveness check. --- ## 2a. Front door: nginx `UdyamLinc-UI/nginx.conf` is ready to use as-is. Copy `dist/` to the document root and the conf to `/etc/nginx/conf.d/`. It already carries the `/api/` proxy block, the SPA fallback, gzip, and asset caching. Adjust `listen 5173` to `80`/`443` for a real deployment. --- ## 2b. Front door: Apache httpd Enable the modules first — on a stock install `proxy_http` and `rewrite` are usually off: ```bash a2enmod proxy proxy_http rewrite headers ``` Virtual host: ```apache ServerName udyamlinc.lincpay.tech DocumentRoot /var/www/udyamlinc # ── API ───────────────────────────────────────────── # The backend's context-path is already /api/v1/udyam, so the prefix passes # through unchanged rather than being rewritten. ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass /api/ http://127.0.0.1:8082/api/ ProxyPassReverse /api/ http://127.0.0.1:8082/api/ # Ingestion and the three-year backfill are long-running admin calls.

ProxyTimeout 300 Require all granted Options -Indexes # ── SPA fallback ──────────────────────────────── # Anything that is not a real file, not a real directory, and not the # API is handed to index.html for React Router to resolve. Without the # !^/api/ guard this rule swallows API calls and returns HTML to axios, # which surfaces as a JSON parse error rather than a routing problem. RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/api/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.html [L] # Fingerprinted assets are immutable; index.html must never be cached or a # deploy cannot reach browsers that already have it. Header set Cache-Control "public, max-age=2592000, immutable" Header set Cache-Control "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate" ``` --- ## 2c. Front door: Tomcat Two things are worth separating here, because "Tomcat" can mean either. ### Serving the UI from Tomcat — fine Copy `dist/` into `$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/` and add the SPA fallback via the rewrite valve. In `conf/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml` (or the `` element): ```xml ``` with `webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/rewrite.config`: ``` RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/api/ RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.html ``` The API still runs as its own `java -jar` process on 8082, and Tomcat proxies to it — or you put httpd/nginx in front of both. ### Deploying the API as a WAR into Tomcat Supported — the build produces a war and `UdyamLincApplication` extends `SpringBootServletInitializer`. Two conditions, and both are hard: **1. Tomcat 11 or newer.** Spring Boot 4.0.1 is built on Jakarta EE 11 / Servlet 6.1. Tomcat 9 is `javax.*` and cannot load a `jakarta.*` application at all; Tomcat 10 is short of the servlet level. Check before deploying: ```bash $CATALINA_HOME/bin/version.sh # or version.bat ``` **2. Deploy it as `api#v1#udyam.war`.** Under a container `server.servlet.context-path` is ignored — the file name decides the path, and Tomcat reads `#` as a separator. So: ```bash cp udyamlinc-backend.war $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/api#v1#udyam.war ``` serves `/api/v1/udyam`, which is what the UI's relative API base expects. Deployed under any other name every endpoint moves and the UI gets 404s that look like a broken build. Environment variables are read the same way; set them in `setenv.sh` or the service definition rather than per-shell. **Still, running the war directly is the lower-risk option** — it embeds Tomcat 11, so neither condition can bite, and the same file works both ways. --- ## Checklist before showing anyone - [ ] `curl localhost:8082/api/v1/udyam/auth/regional-offices` returns JSON - [ ] The seeder's final log line has appeared, with a plausible timestamp - [ ] The site loads, and a hard refresh on a deep link such as `/nabard/geography` returns the app rather than a 404 — this is the SPA fallback, and it is the single most common thing to get wrong - [ ] The browser network tab shows `/api/v1/udyam/...` calls returning 200, not HTML - [ ] `UDYAM_JWT_SECRET` is not the committed default ## Restoring the demo database — do this rather than seeding fresh Verified on 2026-08-15: a freshly seeded database and the working demo database are **not the same demo**. The seeder writes the plan, which is 129 enterprises; the working database carries 263, along with three years of real Agmarknet prices that only a `DATAGOV_API_KEY` and a long backfill can produce. | | Restored dump | Fresh boot + bootstrap | |---|---|---| | Enterprises | 263 | 129 | | RED | 50 | 14 | | Trip-wires firing | **6** | **5** — TW-05 silent | | Open alerts | 344 | 70 | | Real Agmarknet rows | 8,292 | 0 | TW-05 reads a price anomaly against a three-year seasonal mean. Generated series are calibrated to sit near the real data's typical z of 0.44, so they legitimately do not breach a 1.5 threshold — the trip-wire is not broken on a fresh database, it simply has nothing anomalous to find. ```bash createdb -U postgres UdyamLinc_DEMO pg_restore -U postgres -d UdyamLinc_DEMO --no-owner --no-privileges udyamlinc_demo.dump ``` Then start the jar. The seeder is idempotent and will leave the restored book alone. `--no-owner --no-privileges` matters when the demo server's Postgres role is not `postgres`; without them the restore fails on every `ALTER ... OWNER TO` line. Verify: ```sql select count(*) from enterprise; -- expect 263 select source, count(*) from market_signal group by source; -- expect an AGMARKNET row ``` The sequence below is the fallback for a server that has no dump to restore. ## Populating a fresh database — the demo sequence The seeder writes the portfolio, the ledger and the forecasts. It does **not** write loan history, UPI inflows or the no-feed price series: those are admin calls, so a fresh database comes up without them and several screens look thinner than they should. **One call does all of it.** After the seeder's final log line: ```bash BASE=http://localhost:8082/api/v1/udyam TOKEN= curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" "$BASE/admin/bootstrap/demo?months=24" ``` That runs six steps in dependency order and reports each one: | Step | What it writes | |---|---| | `loan-history` | 24 monthly DPD snapshots per loan, `SEEDED_HISTORY` | | `upi-inflows` | 26 weeks per enterprise, `SIMULATED` — the Account Aggregator stand-in | | `prices-no-feed` | milk, egg, fodder, sugarcane — the four with no API anywhere | | `prices-all` | three years for **every remaining basket pair**, so `price_z_score` has a seasonal mean and TW-05 can fire without a data.gov.in key | | `features` | the 15 derivations across the book | | `scoring` | stress scores, bands, trip-wires, alerts | It is **idempotent** — re-running is safe, and each step commits on its own, so a failure in one leaves the others intact and the response names which failed. The individual endpoints remain if you want to run a stage on its own: `/admin/loan-history/generate`, `/admin/upi/simulate`, `/admin/ingestion/simulate/no-feed`, `/admin/ingestion/simulate/all`, `/admin/features/compute`, `/admin/scoring/run`. Verify with the coverage endpoints, both of which report synthetic and real separately: ```bash curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" "$BASE/admin/loan-history/coverage" curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" "$BASE/admin/upi/coverage" ``` ### All of it is labelled, and none of it can overwrite a fact Every row written above carries its provenance in the table — `SEEDED_HISTORY` on loan records, `SIMULATED` on UPI and price rows — and the simulators refuse to overwrite a non-simulated row even when asked to. Real data can land beside this at any time and stays distinguishable forever. The console surfaces the distinction rather than leaving it to a slide. Two consequences to state out loud rather than discover later: - **`loan-history/coverage` reports `trainable: false`** while no real extract exists, and that is correct. The seeder derives DPD from the risk band and the UPI simulator derives inflow drift from the same band, so a model trained on this would learn the seeder's own rule and validate beautifully while knowing nothing. The synthetic data is here to exercise the pipeline and fill the console, not to train. - **No external dependency at all.** The bootstrap needs no `DATAGOV_API_KEY`, no Account Aggregator consent and no bank connection: every screen fills from generated data. If a key *is* present, run the real ingestion first and the price simulator will skip any pair that already holds real rows, filling the gaps around the real series rather than across it. ## What is deliberately off `udyam.ingestion.enabled` is `false`, so a demo boot never calls a government endpoint, and `DATAGOV_API_KEY` is unset. The portfolio is seeded, which is enough for every screen. To refresh from live sources, set the key and run, in order: ``` POST /admin/ingestion/run POST /admin/features/compute POST /admin/scoring/run ``` Space bulk ingestion runs a couple of minutes apart — data.gov.in meters by quota per window, so a run started too soon after another returns 429 on every pair at once and records the whole ingestion as failed with zero rows.
