Write the self-hosting guide and add the optional caddy TLS profile (#88)
docs/self-hosting/README.md is the complete operator contract: install
from the two reference files, first-run wizard walkthrough, update
procedure with the one-release downgrade window, backup/restore with the
sidecar, readyz-based troubleshooting (incl. the classic proxy/WebSocket
and APP_BASE_URL/CSRF mistakes), and a build-from-source note; linked
from the repository README; English-only by documented decision. The
reference compose gains a `caddy` profile (new Caddyfile) that publishes
80/443 and terminates TLS via Let's Encrypt for $DOMAIN — localhost uses
Caddy's internal CA for smoke tests. deploy/self-hosting-verify.sh
scripts the clean-machine test: a fresh directory with only the
published files boots to the wizard answering over TLS, then removes
itself; verified green on the stage host.

# Dorfteich
Dorfteich is an open-source wiki system built around **ponds** (German:
_Teiche_) — self-contained wiki spaces that people and teams organize freely
with hierarchical labels, directories, and Obsidian-style page relations.
Pages are edited in a collaborative WYSIWYG editor with live cursors and
offline support.
- Project site: <https://dorfteich.cloud>
- Public flagship instance: <https://dorfteich.online>
- License: [MIT](LICENSE)
## Key features
- **Real-time collaboration** — multiple people edit the same page
simultaneously; everyone sees the other participants' cursors and input
live. Offline edits merge conflict-free on reconnect (CRDT-based).
- **Ponds** — isolated wiki spaces with their own members, permissions,
fonts, and page organization. Every registered person gets a personal pond.
- **Flexible organization** — hierarchical labels, free page ordering,
`[[wikilinks]]` with backlinks. A classic page tree is possible but never
enforced.
- **Fine-grained permissions** — roles (Site Admin, Pond Admin, Editor,
Reader, Public) can be granted per pond, per label, or per page; the most
specific setting wins.
- **Import & export** — Markdown as the primary exchange format, plus
best-effort structural import from Word/OpenOffice and export to
Word/OpenOffice/PDF.
- **Plugins** — sandboxed extensions (custom blocks, styles, page tools)
installable at runtime without redeploying the instance.
- **Self-hosting first** — a single `docker compose up` plus a guided
first-run setup wizard yields a working instance. Start here:
[`docs/self-hosting/README.md`](docs/self-hosting/README.md).
## Repository layout
| Path | Contents |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `docs/architecture/` | Architecture documentation: ADRs, data model, permission model, collaboration and plugin concepts, deployment and operations |
| `docs/self-hosting/` | Install, update, backup, and troubleshooting guide for running your own instance |
| `apps/` | Application packages (web frontend, API server, collaboration server) — created as implementation proceeds |
| `packages/` | Shared packages (types, permission logic, plugin SDK) |
| `deploy/` | Docker Compose stacks and deployment tooling |
## Development
Requirements: Node.js ≥ 22 and [pnpm](https://pnpm.io) (`npm install -g pnpm`).
```sh
pnpm install # install all workspace dependencies
pnpm lint # ESLint + Prettier check across the repo
pnpm typecheck # TypeScript --noEmit in every package
pnpm test # Vitest in every package
pnpm build # build every package (dependency order)
```
The workspace packages live under `apps/` (web, api, collab) and
`packages/` (shared). Shared logic goes into `packages/shared` and is
imported as `@dorfteich/shared` — never copy code between apps.
## Status
The project is in the architecture and backlog phase. Implementation stories
are tracked as issues in this repository. Start reading at
[`docs/architecture/README.md`](docs/architecture/README.md).
## Contributing
Code, comments, and documentation are written in English. Write clear code
that humans can follow easily; when in doubt, prefer readability over
cleverness. All contributions are accepted under the MIT license.
