Use an authorized checkout and the documented Node/pnpm versions. The supported path here is an operator-managed Node process behind your HTTPS proxy. Container packaging has a known prerequisite described below.

Build the application

Build before production startup. Supply configuration through your shell or secret manager: Node startup does not automatically load .env files.

Configure the production process

Set these deployment-owned values. The origin and directory below are synthetic examples; replace them with resources you control. Inject fresh secrets rather than putting their literal values into a script or shell history.
BUGSPRAY_ADMIN_PASSWORD must be at least 12 characters and QA_SUITE_TOKEN at least 32. Production requires an explicit HTTPS public origin and access control. Keep the data directory private and writable by the app’s operating-system user. Configure your service manager to use the checkout as its working directory and restart the process deliberately.

Put HTTPS in front

Configure an operator-owned reverse proxy for the exact public origin, forwarding to the loopback listener. Preserve the intended Host/origin relationship and support streaming MCP responses and uploads. Test unauthenticated UI access, successful sign-in, authorized API calls and rejected wrong-origin mutations. Do not disable Host/origin validation to make a proxy work. The bootstrap REST token is for internal/legacy bridging. Administrator mutations require a signed-in UI session. Hosted OAuth/service-token semantics should not be assumed for an ordinary Node installation.

Add only required capabilities

Leave provider variables unset until you deliberately configure integrations. Install Chromium and recording dependencies before browser use. Enable repro execution only after accepting the trust model.

Compose is not ready as a copy-and-run path

The current Dockerfile dependency-install layer omits required vendor/*.tgz inputs. Fix and validate that packaging before building an image. Then use the existing .env.production.example, a private populated environment file and the repository’s Compose definition behind your HTTPS proxy. Preserve its data volume; down -v destroys persistent data and is not an upgrade procedure. Read the existing deployment runbook for container commands once that prerequisite is resolved. This guide does not certify a Linux container build or publish an image.
