## Deployment Notes

This Space packages the Django backend (OCR + RAG stack) from the `TryHarDemNayProject` repo. It installs the full backend inside the container and exposes the API on port **7860** via Gunicorn.

### Environment variables required

Set the following secrets in **Settings → Repository secrets** before building the Space:

| Variable | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `DATABASE_URL` | PostgreSQL connection string (Railway instance) with `?sslmode=require`. |
| `DJANGO_SECRET_KEY` | Secret key for Django. |
| `DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS` | e.g. `*.hf.space,localhost`. |
| `DEFAULT_LLM_PROVIDER`, `LLM_PROVIDER`, etc. | Optional overrides reused from the original `.env`. |

You can push these secrets via the helper script:

```bash
cp ops/hf.secrets.env.example ops/hf.secrets.env
# edit ops/hf.secrets.env with real values
export HF_TOKEN=hf_xxx  # token with write access to the Space
python backend/scripts/update_hf_space_secrets.py \
    --space davidttran999/hue-portal-backendDocker \
    --secrets-file ops/hf.secrets.env
```

### Startup process

`entrypoint.sh` automatically runs:

1. `python hue_portal/manage.py migrate`
2. `python hue_portal/manage.py createcachetable`
3. `gunicorn hue_portal.hue_portal.wsgi:application --bind 0.0.0.0:7860`

Logs are streamed in the Space console. If migrations fail because the DB already contains the schema, re-run after fixing credentials or drop the DB manually.
