Step-by-Step Deployment

1. Database Replication Setup

# Wait for rsync to complete or run it manually
rsync -avz --delete \
  --exclude 'node_modules' \
  --exclude '.next' \
  --exclude '.git' \
  --exclude 'logs/*' \
  --exclude 'postgres-data' \
  /home/icke/traderv4/ root@72.62.39.24:/home/icke/traderv4/

Step 2: Backup and Sync Database

# Dump database from primary
docker exec trading-bot-postgres pg_dump -U postgres trading_bot_v4 > /tmp/trading_bot_backup.sql

# Copy to secondary
scp /tmp/trading_bot_backup.sql root@72.62.39.24:/tmp/trading_bot_backup.sql

Step 3: Deploy on Secondary

# SSH to secondary
ssh root@72.62.39.24

cd /home/icke/traderv4

# Start PostgreSQL
docker compose up -d postgres

# Wait for PostgreSQL to be ready
sleep 10

# Restore database
docker exec -i trading-bot-postgres psql -U postgres -c "DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS trading_bot_v4; CREATE DATABASE trading_bot_v4;"
docker exec -i trading-bot-postgres psql -U postgres trading_bot_v4 < /tmp/trading_bot_backup.sql

# Verify database
docker exec trading-bot-postgres psql -U postgres trading_bot_v4 -c "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM \"Trade\";"

# Build trading bot
docker compose build trading-bot

# Start trading bot (but keep it inactive - secondary waits in standby)
docker compose up -d trading-bot

# Check logs
docker logs -f trading-bot-v4

Step 4: Verify Everything Works

# Check all containers running
docker ps

# Should see:
# - trading-bot-v4 (your bot)
# - trading-bot-postgres
# - n8n (already running)

# Test health endpoint
curl http://localhost:3001/api/health

# Check database connection
docker exec trading-bot-postgres psql -U postgres -c "\l"

Ongoing Sync Strategy

Option A: PostgreSQL Streaming Replication (Best)

Setup once, sync forever in real-time (1-2 second lag)

See HA_DATABASE_SYNC_STRATEGY.md for complete setup guide.

Quick version:

# On PRIMARY
docker exec trading-bot-postgres psql -U postgres -c "
CREATE USER replicator WITH REPLICATION ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'ReplPass2024!';
"

docker exec trading-bot-postgres bash -c "cat >> /var/lib/postgresql/data/postgresql.conf << CONF
wal_level = replica
max_wal_senders = 3
wal_keep_size = 64
CONF"

docker exec trading-bot-postgres bash -c "echo 'host replication replicator 72.62.39.24/32 md5' >> /var/lib/postgresql/data/pg_hba.conf"

docker restart trading-bot-postgres

# On SECONDARY
docker compose down postgres
rm -rf postgres-data/
mkdir -p postgres-data

docker run --rm \
  -v $(pwd)/postgres-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data \
  -e PGPASSWORD='ReplPass2024!' \
  postgres:16-alpine \
  pg_basebackup -h <hetzner-ip> -p 5432 -U replicator -D /var/lib/postgresql/data -P -R

docker compose up -d postgres

# Verify
docker exec trading-bot-postgres psql -U postgres -c "SELECT * FROM pg_stat_wal_receiver;"

Option B: Cron Job Backup (Simple but 6hr lag)

# On PRIMARY - Create sync script
cat > /root/sync-to-secondary.sh << 'SCRIPT'
#!/bin/bash
LOG="/var/log/secondary-sync.log"
echo "[$(date)] Starting sync..." >> $LOG

# Sync code
rsync -avz --delete \
  --exclude 'node_modules' --exclude '.next' --exclude '.git' \
  /home/icke/traderv4/ root@72.62.39.24:/home/icke/traderv4/ >> $LOG 2>&1

# Sync database
docker exec trading-bot-postgres pg_dump -U postgres trading_bot_v4 | \
  ssh root@72.62.39.24 "docker exec -i trading-bot-postgres psql -U postgres -c 'DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS trading_bot_v4; CREATE DATABASE trading_bot_v4;' && docker exec -i trading-bot-postgres psql -U postgres trading_bot_v4" >> $LOG 2>&1

echo "[$(date)] Sync complete" >> $LOG
SCRIPT

chmod +x /root/sync-to-secondary.sh

# Test it
/root/sync-to-secondary.sh

# Schedule every 6 hours
crontab -e
# Add: 0 */6 * * * /root/sync-to-secondary.sh

Health Monitor Setup

Create health monitor to automatically switch DNS on failure:

# Create health monitor script (run on laptop or third server)
cat > ~/trading-bot-monitor.py << 'SCRIPT'
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import requests
import time
import os

CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN = "your-token"
CLOUDFLARE_ZONE_ID = "your-zone-id"
CLOUDFLARE_RECORD_ID = "your-record-id"

PRIMARY_IP = "hetzner-ip"
SECONDARY_IP = "72.62.39.24"

PRIMARY_URL = f"http://{PRIMARY_IP}:3001/api/health"
SECONDARY_URL = f"http://{SECONDARY_IP}:3001/api/health"

TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN = os.getenv("TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN")
TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID = os.getenv("TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID")

current_active = "primary"

def send_telegram(message):
    try:
        url = f"https://api.telegram.org/bot{TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN}/sendMessage"
        requests.post(url, json={"chat_id": TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID, "text": message}, timeout=10)
    except:
        pass

def check_health(url):
    try:
        response = requests.get(url, timeout=10)
        return response.status_code == 200
    except:
        return False

def update_cloudflare_dns(ip):
    url = f"https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/{CLOUDFLARE_ZONE_ID}/dns_records/{CLOUDFLARE_RECORD_ID}"
    headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN}", "Content-Type": "application/json"}
    data = {"type": "A", "name": "flow.egonetix.de", "content": ip, "ttl": 120, "proxied": False}
    
    response = requests.put(url, json=data, headers=headers, timeout=10)
    return response.status_code == 200

print("Health monitor started")
send_telegram("🏥 Trading Bot Health Monitor Started")

while True:
    primary_healthy = check_health(PRIMARY_URL)
    secondary_healthy = check_health(SECONDARY_URL)
    
    print(f"Primary: {'✅' if primary_healthy else '❌'} | Secondary: {'✅' if secondary_healthy else '❌'}")
    
    if current_active == "primary" and not primary_healthy and secondary_healthy:
        print("FAILOVER: Switching to secondary")
        if update_cloudflare_dns(SECONDARY_IP):
            current_active = "secondary"
            send_telegram(f"🚨 FAILOVER: Primary DOWN, switched to Secondary ({SECONDARY_IP})")
    
    elif current_active == "secondary" and primary_healthy:
        print("RECOVERY: Switching back to primary")
        if update_cloudflare_dns(PRIMARY_IP):
            current_active = "primary"
            send_telegram(f"✅ RECOVERY: Primary restored ({PRIMARY_IP})")
    
    time.sleep(30)

Verification Checklist

  • Secondary server has all code from primary
  • Secondary has same .env file (same wallet key!)
  • PostgreSQL running on secondary
  • Database streaming replication active (229 trades synced)
  • Trading bot built successfully
  • Trading bot starts without errors
  • Health endpoint responds on secondary
  • n8n running on secondary (already was)
  • Sync strategy chosen and configured (streaming replication)
  • nginx reverse proxy with HTTPS and Basic Auth
  • Certificate sync from srvrevproxy02 (hourly)
  • DNS failover monitor configured and active
  • Test failover scenario completed

Certificate Synchronization (ACTIVE)

Status: Operational - Hourly sync from srvrevproxy02 to Hostinger

# Location on srvrevproxy02
/usr/local/bin/cert-push-to-hostinger.sh

# Cron job
0 * * * * root /usr/local/bin/cert-push-to-hostinger.sh

# View sync logs
ssh root@srvrevproxy02 'tail -f /var/log/cert-push-hostinger.log'

# Manual sync test
ssh root@srvrevproxy02 '/usr/local/bin/cert-push-to-hostinger.sh'

What syncs:

  • Source: /etc/letsencrypt/ on srvrevproxy02 (all Let's Encrypt certificates)
  • Target: /home/icke/traderv4/nginx/ssl/ on Hostinger
  • Method: rsync with SSH key authentication
  • Includes: flow.egonetix.de + all other domain certificates
  • Auto-reload: nginx on Hostinger reloads after sync

DNS Failover Monitor (READY TO ACTIVATE)

Status: ACTIVE - Service running, monitoring primary health every 30s

Key Discovery: INWX API uses per-request authentication (pass user/pass with every call), NOT session-based login. This resolves all error 2002 issues.

# SSH to Hostinger
ssh root@72.62.39.24

# Run setup script with INWX credentials
bash /root/setup-inwx-direct.sh Tomson lJJKQqKFT4rMaye9

# Start monitoring service
systemctl start dns-failover

# Check status
systemctl status dns-failover

# View logs
tail -f /var/log/dns-failover.log

CRITICAL: INWX API Authentication

INWX uses per-request authentication (NOT session-based):

  • WRONG: Call account.login() first, then use session → This gives error 2002
  • CORRECT: Pass user and pass with every API call

Example from the working monitor script:

api = ServerProxy("https://api.domrobot.com/xmlrpc/")

# Pass user/pass directly with each call (no login session needed)
result = api.nameserver.info({
    'user': username,
    'pass': password,
    'domain': 'egonetix.de',
    'name': 'flow',
    'type': 'A'
})

How it works:

  • Monitors primary server health every 30 seconds
  • 3 consecutive failures (90s) triggers automatic failover
  • Updates DNS via INWX API: flow.egonetix.de → 72.62.39.24
  • Deploys dual-domain nginx config
  • Automatic recovery when primary returns online

Configuration:

  • Script: /usr/local/bin/dns-failover-monitor.py
  • Service: /etc/systemd/system/dns-failover.service
  • State: /var/lib/dns-failover-state.json
  • Logs: /var/log/dns-failover.log

Test Failover

# Option 1: Automatic (if dns-failover running)
# Stop primary reverse proxy
ssh root@srvrevproxy02 "systemctl stop nginx"
# Monitor will detect failure in ~90s and switch DNS automatically

# Option 2: Manual
# 1. Update INWX DNS: flow.egonetix.de → 72.62.39.24
# 2. Wait for DNS propagation (5-10 minutes)
# 3. Deploy nginx config on Hostinger
ssh root@72.62.39.24 '/home/icke/traderv4/deploy-flow-domain.sh'

# 4. Test endpoints
curl -u admin:TradingBot2025Secure https://flow.egonetix.de/api/health

# 5. Restart primary
ssh root@srvrevproxy02 "systemctl start nginx"
ssh root@hetzner-ip "cd /home/icke/traderv4 && docker compose start trading-bot"

Summary

Your secondary server is now a full replica:

  • Same code as primary
  • Same database (snapshot)
  • Same configuration (.env)
  • Ready to take over if primary fails

Choose sync strategy:

  • 🔄 PostgreSQL Streaming Replication - Real-time, 1-2s lag (BEST)
  • Cron Job - Simple, 6-hour lag (OK for testing)

Enable automated failover:

  • 🤖 Run health monitor script (switches DNS automatically)
  • 📱 Gets Telegram alerts on failover/recovery
  • 30-60 second failover time

2. Deploy Trading Bot to Secondary

2.1 Create Deployment Directory

ssh root@72.62.39.24 'mkdir -p /root/traderv4-secondary'

2.2 Rsync Complete Codebase

cd /home/icke/traderv4
rsync -avz --exclude 'node_modules' --exclude '.next' --exclude 'logs' --exclude '.git' \
  -e ssh . root@72.62.39.24:/root/traderv4-secondary/

2.3 Configure Database Connection

ssh root@72.62.39.24 'cd /root/traderv4-secondary && \
  sed -i "s|postgresql://[^@]*@[^:]*:[0-9]*/trading_bot_v4|postgresql://postgres:postgres@trading-bot-postgres:5432/trading_bot_v4|" .env'

2.4 Create Docker Compose

ssh root@72.62.39.24 'cat > /root/traderv4-secondary/docker-compose.yml << "COMPOSE_EOF"
version: "3.8"

services:
  trading-bot:
    container_name: trading-bot-v4-secondary
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    ports:
      - "3001:3000"
    environment:
      - NODE_ENV=production
    env_file:
      - .env
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      - traderv4_trading-net
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://localhost:3000/api/health"]
      interval: 30s
      timeout: 10s
      retries: 3
      start_period: 40s

networks:
  traderv4_trading-net:
    external: true
COMPOSE_EOF
'

2.5 Build and Deploy

ssh root@72.62.39.24 'cd /root/traderv4-secondary && \
  docker compose build trading-bot && \
  docker compose up -d trading-bot'

2.6 Verify Deployment

ssh root@72.62.39.24 'curl -s http://localhost:3001/api/health'

Expected: {"status":"healthy","timestamp":"...","uptime":...}

3. Configure pfSense Firewall

CRITICAL: Allow secondary to monitor primary health.

  1. Open pfSense web UI
  2. Navigate to: Firewall → Rules → WAN
  3. Add new rule:
    • Action: Pass
    • Protocol: TCP
    • Source: 72.62.39.24 (Hostinger)
    • Destination: 95.216.52.28 (Primary)
    • Destination Port: 3001
    • Description: Allow DNS monitor health checks
  4. Save and apply changes

This enables the failover monitor to check http://95.216.52.28:3001/api/health directly.

4. Test Complete Failover Cycle

4.1 Initial State Check

# Check DNS points to primary
dig +short flow.egonetix.de @8.8.8.8
# Should return: 95.216.52.28

# Verify primary is healthy
curl http://95.216.52.28:3001/api/health
# Should return: {"status":"healthy",...}

4.2 Trigger Failover

# Stop primary bot
ssh root@10.0.0.48 'docker stop trading-bot-v4'

# Monitor failover logs on secondary
ssh root@72.62.39.24 'tail -f /var/log/dns-failover.log'

Expected Timeline:

  • T+00s: Primary stopped
  • T+30s: First health check failure detected
  • T+60s: Second failure (count: 2/3)
  • T+90s: Third failure (count: 3/3)
  • T+90s: 🚨 Automatic failover initiated
  • T+90s: DNS updated to 72.62.39.24 (secondary)

4.3 Verify Failover

# Check DNS switched to secondary
dig +short flow.egonetix.de @8.8.8.8
# Should return: 72.62.39.24

# Test secondary bot
curl http://72.62.39.24:3001/api/health
# Should return healthy status

4.4 Test Failback

# Restart primary bot
ssh root@10.0.0.48 'docker start trading-bot-v4'

# Continue monitoring logs
# Wait ~5 minutes for primary to fully initialize

Expected Timeline:

  • T+00s: Primary restarted
  • T+40s: Container healthy
  • T+60s: First successful health check
  • T+60s: Primary recovery detected
  • T+60s: 🔄 Automatic failback initiated
  • T+60s: DNS restored to 95.216.52.28 (primary)

4.5 Verify Failback

# Check DNS back to primary
dig +short flow.egonetix.de @8.8.8.8
# Should return: 95.216.52.28

5. Production Monitoring

Monitor Logs

# Real-time monitoring
ssh root@72.62.39.24 'tail -f /var/log/dns-failover.log'

# Check service status
ssh root@72.62.39.24 'systemctl status dns-failover'

Health Check Both Servers

# Primary
curl http://95.216.52.28:3001/api/health

# Secondary
curl http://72.62.39.24:3001/api/health

Verify Database Replication

# Compare trade counts
ssh root@10.0.0.48 'docker exec trading-bot-postgres psql -U postgres -d trading_bot_v4 -c "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM \"Trade\";"'
ssh root@72.62.39.24 'docker exec trading-bot-postgres psql -U postgres -d trading_bot_v4 -c "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM \"Trade\";"'

  docker compose up -d --force-recreate trading-bot'

Manual DNS Switch (Emergency)

# If needed, manually trigger failover
ssh root@72.62.39.24 'python3 /usr/local/bin/manual-dns-switch.py secondary'

# Or failback
ssh root@72.62.39.24 'python3 /usr/local/bin/manual-dns-switch.py primary'

Troubleshooting

Monitor Not Detecting Primary

  1. Check pfSense firewall rule active
  2. Verify primary bot on port 3001: docker ps | grep 3001
  3. Test from secondary: curl -m 5 http://95.216.52.28:3001/api/health
  4. Check monitor logs: tail -f /var/log/dns-failover.log

Failover Not Triggering

  1. Check INWX credentials in systemd service
  2. Verify monitor service running: systemctl status dns-failover
  3. Test INWX API access manually
  4. Review full log: cat /var/log/dns-failover.log | grep -E "(FAIL|ERROR)"

Database Replication Lag

  1. Check replication status on primary:
    SELECT * FROM pg_stat_replication;
    
  2. Check replica lag on secondary:
    SELECT pg_last_wal_receive_lsn(), pg_last_wal_replay_lsn();
    
  3. If lagging, check network connectivity between servers

Secondary Bot Not Starting

  1. Check logs: docker logs trading-bot-v4-secondary
  2. Verify database connection in .env
  3. Check network: docker network inspect traderv4_trading-net
  4. Ensure postgres running: docker ps | grep postgres

Deployment completed November 25, 2025. Failover tested and verified working. Infrastructure is production ready.
