## Deployments

Canvas Portfolio is designed to simplify the deployment process on various platforms, whether serverless or not. Below are several detailed methods to deploy your portfolio.

### 1. Serverless Platforms (Vercel, Netlify, etc.)

When using serverless platforms, it's important to note that Nuxt Content v3 relies by default on SQLite for content storage. Since these platforms do not support SQLite natively, we recommend connecting Canvas Portfolio to an external database such as:

-  **PostgreSQL**
-  **Turso**
-  **D1**

For further details on this process and the suitable solutions for serverless deployments, refer to the official Nuxt Content documentation:
[Nuxt Content and Serverless Deployment](https://content.nuxt.com/docs/deploy/serverless)

#### Vercel deployment do not need any extra configuration.

### 3. Deployment via Docker

Canvas Portfolio is also available as a Docker image, making it easy to deploy in containerized environments. An official Docker image is automatically created using a GitHub workflow whenever a new release is made, or it can be triggered manually.

This workflow not only builds the official Canvas image but also provides a standard way for anyone who forks the project to create their own Docker image with a proper version tag (e.g., v2.0, v1.0.0, etc.).

**To pull the latest Docker image:**

```bash
docker pull ghcr.io/hugorcd/canvas:latest
```

You can also use Docker Compose for a quick deployment. A community-provided [docker-compose.community.yml](docker-compose.community.yml) file is available and can be used with platforms like Coolify for one-click deployments.

## How to Modify the Portfolio Content

This portfolio uses [Nuxt Content](https://content.nuxt.com/) to manage the content. Here's how you can modify it:

First check the `app.config.ts` file to change the global configuration of the portfolio, there is a lot of stuff you can change here.

### Writing

1. Navigate to the `content/2.articles` directory.
2. Here, you'll find Markdown files for each article. To modify an article, simply open its Markdown file and make your changes.
3. To add a new article, create a new Markdown file in this directory. The name of the file will be used as the URL slug for the article.

### Works

1. Navigate to the `content/1.works/` directory.
2. Here, you'll find Markdown files for each article. To modify an article, simply open its Markdown file and make your changes.
3. To add a new project, add a new JSON file in this directory.

#### Featured Works

To change the featured works on the homepage, simply add the `"featured": true` key the JSON file.

### Other Content

Simply go to the `content/` directory and edit any of the Markdown or JSON files to modify the content.

## Editing Content with Nuxt Studio

Canvas Portfolio includes [Nuxt Studio](https://content.nuxt.com/docs/studio/setup), a built-in visual editor that allows you to edit your content directly from the browser without touching code.

### Accessing Nuxt Studio

1. Start your development server:
```bash
pnpm dev
```

2. Navigate to `/admin` in your browser (e.g., `http://localhost:3000/admin`)

3. You'll be prompted to authenticate with GitHub to access the editor

### Setting Up Nuxt Studio

To enable Nuxt Studio in production, you need to configure GitHub OAuth:

1. Create a GitHub OAuth App:
   - Go to [GitHub Developer Settings](https://github.com/settings/developers)
   - Click "New OAuth App"
   - Set the Authorization callback URL to: `https://your-domain.com`
   - Copy the Client ID and Client Secret

2. Add the following environment variables to your `.env` file:
```bash
STUDIO_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=your_github_client_id
STUDIO_GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=your_github_client_secret
```

3. Update the repository configuration in `nuxt.config.ts` to match your GitHub repository:
```ts
studio: {
  repository: {
    provider: 'github',
    owner: 'your-username',
    repo: 'your-repo-name',
    branch: 'main',
  },
}
```

Once configured, you can edit all your content (articles, projects, pages) directly from the `/admin` interface with a user-friendly visual editor.

## Setup the Contact Form

This portfolio uses [Resend](https://resend.com/) to handle the contact form, but it's not mandatory. The server handle will not be used if you don't set the `NUXT_PRIVATE_RESEND_API_KEY` environment variable.

To set it up, follow these steps:
- Get your api key from [Resend](https://resend.com/) here [your api key](https://resend.com/api-keys)
- Add your api key in the `.env` file
- change the `from` key in the `sendEmail` route in the `server/api/` folder, you can customize everything you want in this route
- That's it, you're good to go!
