# 📦 Application Container Deployments
This document details the containerized application architecture, storage mounts, and Systemd service mappings deployed across the virtual machine nodes using rootless **Podman**.
---
## 🏗️ Application & Systemd Service Architecture
Every application workload runs inside an isolated rootless container. The host's local **Systemd** daemon manages the startup dependencies and lifecycle of the containers:

## 📄 Application Specifications
The container lifecycle is automated via `ansible/playbooks/04_services_deploy.yml`:
### 1. Portfolio Hub (`portfolio.lab.local`)
* **Engine**: Launches `docker.io/library/nginx:alpine` using rootless Podman.
* **Statis Assets**: Clones and mounts the HTML/CSS website files into `/usr/share/nginx/html` in read-only(`ro`) mode.
* **Port Mapping**: Maps container port to 80 to target port 80 of the virtual machine.
### 2. Fabric Minecraft Server (`minecraft.lab.local`)
* **Engine**: Launches `docker.io/itzg/minecraft-server:java17`(java-based wrapper).
* **Configurations**:
* `EULA=TRUE`: Accepts user agreements.
* `TYPE=FABRIC`: Deploys Fabric mod loader.
* `VERSION=1.20.1`: Deploys game runtime version.
* `MEMORY=4G`: Allocates memory bounds(configured dynamically via variables).
* `MODRINTH_PROJECTS`: Deploys specific mod files(Fabric API, Architectury API, Geckolib, Kotlin runtime, hamster pets, etc.).
* **Persistent Storage**: Mounts `/home/sho/containers/minecraft` to `/data` in read-write mode to preserve world data, player profiles, and server properties.
### 3. Music Streaming Node (`navidrome.lab.local`)
* **rclone Google Drive FUSE Mount**:
* Installed packages `fuse3` and `rclone`.
* Modifies `/etc/fuse.conf` to enable `user_allow_other`(allowing rootless containers to read paths mounted by host users).
* Configures `rclone` with Google Drive credentials and spawns a background mount service daemon(`rclone-mount.service`) directing drive data to `/mnt/gdrive` using cache mode `full`(cached locally for 24h).
* **Navidrome Engine**:
* Launches `docker.io/deluan/navidrome:latest`.
* Mounts the FUSE path `/mnt/gdrive` into `/music:ro`.
* Systemd configurations map a `Requires=rclone-mount.service` dependency, preventing the Navidrome container from running if the Google Drive FUSE mount fails.

## 🚀 Execution & Management
Deploy the application containers using the Ansible tags target:
```bash
ansible-playbook site.yml --tags "services" --ask-vault-pass
```
### Container Status Verification
Log in to any service virtual machine and query Podman:
```bash
# View running container status
podman ps
# Inspect container startup logs
podman logs navidrome
```
