+# 🔄 RIT Freshers Hub - Step-by-Step CI/CD Pipeline Guide
+
+Automate your live server deployments with **GitHub Actions** so that whenever you run `git push origin main`, your website, backend, chatbot, and services update on your VPS automatically in 30 seconds!
+
+---
+
+## 🏗️ How the CI/CD Pipeline Works
+
+```mermaid
+graph LR
+    A[💻 Developer Pushes Code] -->|git push origin main| B[🐙 GitHub Repository]
+    B -->|Triggers Workflow| C[⚡ GitHub Actions Runner]
+    C -->|Secure SSH Connection| D[🌐 VPS Server 129.121.126.66]

+    F -->|3. go build| G[🤖 Build Go Engine]
+    G -->|4. systemctl restart| H[🚀 Live Site Updated!]
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🛠️ Step-by-Step Setup Guide
+
+### Step 1: Add SSH Secrets to your GitHub Repository
+
+1. Open your GitHub Repository in your web browser:
+   `https://github.com/Amudieshwar-AG/Freshers-Hub`
+2. Click **Settings** (top toolbar) ⚙️.
+3. In the left sidebar, expand **Secrets and variables** ➔ click **Actions**.
+4. Click **New repository secret** (green button on top right) and add these **3 secrets**:
+
+---
+
+#### 🔑 Secret 1: `VPS_HOST`
+* **Name:** `VPS_HOST`
+* **Secret Value:** `129.121.126.66`
+
+#### 🔑 Secret 2: `VPS_USERNAME`
+* **Name:** `VPS_USERNAME`
+* **Secret Value:** `root`
+
+#### 🔑 Secret 3: `VPS_SSH_KEY`
+* **Name:** `VPS_SSH_KEY`
+* **Secret Value:** Paste your SSH Private Key contents.
+  * *Where to find your key on VPS:* Run `cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa` or `cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519` on your server terminal.
+  * Copy the entire key including `-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----` and `-----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----`.
+
+---
+
+### Step 2: Push the Workflow File to GitHub
+
+The deployment workflow file is already created at:
+[.github/workflows/deploy.yml](file:///f:/fresher/Freshers-Hub/.github/workflows/deploy.yml)
+
+Push it to GitHub by running in your local terminal:
+
+```bash
+git add .github/workflows/deploy.yml CICD_GUIDE.md
+git commit -m "ci: add GitHub Actions automated deployment workflow"
+git push origin main
+```
+
+---
+
+### Step 3: Test your CI/CD Pipeline! 🎉
+
+1. Make any code edit or change on your project.
+2. Push your changes:
+   ```bash
+   git push origin main
+   ```
+3. Go to your **GitHub Repository** ➔ Click the **Actions** tab.
+4. You will see a live workflow named **"Deploy RIT Freshers Hub to VPS"** running!
+5. In ~30 seconds, it will complete with a green checkmark `✓`, and your live server at `https://rit-services.in` will be updated automatically!
+
+---
+
+## 🛑 Troubleshooting CI/CD Pipeline Issues
+
+* **Error: `ssh: handshake failed` or `permission denied (publickey)`**
+  * **Fix:** Make sure the public key corresponding to `VPS_SSH_KEY` is added to `/root/.ssh/authorized_keys` on your VPS.
+  * On your VPS, run: `cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys`
+* **Error: `Host key verification failed`**
+  * **Fix:** `appleboy/ssh-action` handles host key verification automatically, but ensure `VPS_HOST` is set strictly to `129.121.126.66` without extra spaces or `http://`.

+# 🦊 RIT Freshers Hub - Gitea CI/CD Pipeline Guide
+
+Automate your deployments from your self-hosted Gitea repository (`https://git.rit-services.in/ShanmugaKrishnanSM/RIT-nexus.git`) directly to your live VPS!
+
+---
+
+## 🛠️ Choose Your Preferred Gitea CI/CD Method:
+
+* **Method 1: Gitea Actions (Recommended if Gitea Actions is enabled)** — Uses `.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml` with identical syntax to GitHub Actions.
+* **Method 2: Gitea Webhook + Lightweight VPS Script (Fastest & Zero Setup)** — Gitea sends an HTTP trigger on push to automatically execute `git pull && npm run build` on your VPS.
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Method 1: Setting Up Gitea Actions
+
+### Step 1: Add Secrets in Gitea
+1. Open your repository in Gitea:
+   `https://git.rit-services.in/ShanmugaKrishnanSM/RIT-nexus`
+2. Click **Settings** (top right) ➔ **Actions** ➔ **Secrets**.
+3. Add these 3 secrets:
+   * **`VPS_HOST`**: `129.121.126.66`
+   * **`VPS_USERNAME`**: `root`
+   * **`VPS_SSH_KEY`**: Paste your SSH Private Key (`cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa` from VPS).
+
+### Step 2: Push Workflow File
+The Gitea workflow file is located at [.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml](file:///f:/fresher/Freshers-Hub/.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml).
+
+Every `git push origin main` will automatically run the deployment steps on your VPS!
+
+---
+
+## ⚡ Method 2: Setting Up Gitea Webhook (Lightweight & Instant)
+
+If Gitea Actions runner is not active on your Gitea instance, you can use a native **Gitea Webhook**:
+
+### Step 1: Create a Deploy Script on VPS
+On your VPS terminal (`ssh root@129.121.126.66`), create a deployment shell script:
+
+```bash
+cat << 'EOF' > /var/www/freshers-hub/deploy.sh
+#!/bin/bash
+echo "🚀 Deploying latest code from Gitea..."
+cd /var/www/freshers-hub
+git pull origin main
+npm run build
+cd chatbot-service && go build -o chatbot-service main.go
+systemctl restart springboot chatbot telegram-bot nginx
+echo "✅ Deployment finished!"
+EOF
+
+chmod +x /var/www/freshers-hub/deploy.sh
+```
+
+### Step 2: Add Webhook in Gitea
+1. Go to your Gitea Repo ➔ **Settings** ➔ **Webhooks**.
+2. Click **Add Webhook** ➔ Select **Gitea**.
+3. **Target URL:** `http://129.121.126.66:9000/hooks/deploy` (or your webhook port).
+4. **HTTP Method:** `POST`
+5. **Trigger On:** Push Events.
+6. Click **Add Webhook**.
+
+Whenever you push code to Gitea, it triggers `deploy.sh` on your VPS instantly!

+
+## 🛠️ 5. Common Troubleshooting & Emergency Fixes
+
+### 🚨 Problem 1: "502 Bad Gateway" on Website
+* **Cause:** The Spring Boot backend or Go chatbot is stopped.
+* **Fix:** Restart all services:
+  ```bash
+  systemctl restart springboot chatbot nginx
+  ```
+
+---
+
+### 🚨 Problem 2: Nginx Configuration Test Fails
+* **Check for Nginx syntax errors:**
+  ```bash
+  sudo nginx -t
+  ```
+* **If it says syntax is OK, reload Nginx:**
+  ```bash
+  sudo systemctl reload nginx
+  ```
+
+---
+
+### 🚨 Problem 3: Check & Renew SSL Certificates (HTTPS)
+* **Check all SSL certificates & expiry dates:**
+  ```bash
+  sudo certbot certificates
+  ```
+* **Force renew SSL certificates (if needed):**
+  ```bash
+  sudo certbot renew --force-renewal
+  sudo systemctl reload nginx
+  ```
+
+---
+
+### 🚨 Problem 4: PostgreSQL Database Connection Error
+* **Check PostgreSQL status:**
+  ```bash
+  systemctl status postgresql
+  ```
+* **Test Database Password manually:**
+  ```bash
+  PGPASSWORD='RITHosting123' psql -U postgres -h localhost -d freshers_hub_db -c '\dt'
+  ```
+
+---
+
+### 🚨 Problem 5: Full Server Reboot (Emergency Reset)
+If the server becomes completely unresponsive or memory is full:
+
+```bash
+sudo reboot
+```
+
+*Wait 60 seconds, reconnect via SSH, and check services:*
+```bash
+systemctl status springboot chatbot telegram-bot nginx postgresql
+```
+
+---
+
+## 💾 6. Database Backup & Restore
+
+### Backup PostgreSQL Database to a `.sql` File:
+```bash
+PGPASSWORD='RITHosting123' pg_dump -U postgres -h localhost freshers_hub_db > /root/backup_freshers_hub_$(date +%F).sql
+```
+
+### Restore Database from a `.sql` Backup File:
+```bash
+PGPASSWORD='RITHosting123' psql -U postgres -h localhost freshers_hub_db < /root/backup_freshers_hub_2026-08-04.sql
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🛡️ 7. Systemd Service File Reference Paths
+
+For reference, all auto-start systemd service configuration files are stored at:

-#   Gradle start up script for POSIX generated by Gradle.
-#
-#   Important for running:
-#
-#   (1) You need a POSIX-compliant shell to run this script. If your /bin/sh is
-#       noncompliant, but you have some other compliant shell such as ksh or
-#       bash, then to run this script, type that shell name before the whole
-#       command line, like:
-#
-#           ksh Gradle
-#
-#       Busybox and similar reduced shells will NOT work, because this script
-#       requires all of these POSIX shell features:
-#         * functions;
-#         * expansions «$var», «${var}», «${var:-default}», «${var+SET}»,
-#           «${var#prefix}», «${var%suffix}», and «$( cmd )»;
-#         * compound commands having a testable exit status, especially «case»;
-#         * various built-in commands including «command», «set», and «ulimit».
-#
-#   Important for patching:
-#
-#   (2) This script targets any POSIX shell, so it avoids extensions provided
-#       by Bash, Ksh, etc; in particular arrays are avoided.
-#
-#       The "traditional" practice of packing multiple parameters into a
-#       space-separated string is a well documented source of bugs and security
-#       problems, so this is (mostly) avoided, by progressively accumulating
-#       options in "$@", and eventually passing that to Java.
-#
-#       Where the inherited environment variables (DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS, JAVA_OPTS,
-#       and GRADLE_OPTS) rely on word-splitting, this is performed explicitly;
-#       see the in-line comments for details.
-#
-#       There are tweaks for specific operating systems such as AIX, CygWin,
-#       Darwin, MinGW, and NonStop.
-#
-#   (3) This script is generated from the Groovy template
-#       https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/HEAD/platforms/jvm/plugins-application/src/main/resources/org/gradle/api/internal/plugins/unixStartScript.txt
-#       within the Gradle project.
