Mauricio Siu a7adc3c36b refactor: update Vite application structure and dependencies
- Removed the `index.html` file as part of the transition to a new routing system.
- Updated `package.json` scripts to streamline development commands using `concurrently`.
- Enhanced dependency management by adding new packages and updating existing ones in `package.json`.
- Introduced a new server function for branding and session management, improving API interactions.
- Refactored routing to utilize TanStack Start, ensuring better integration with the existing Dokploy architecture.
- Improved static file handling and server response management in the custom Node.js server.
- Updated README to reflect changes in architecture and development processes.

# dokploy-vite
TanStack Start migration of the Dokploy dashboard. The Next.js app (`apps/dokploy`) stays intact; this app reuses all its UI code and its backend logic without duplicating either.
## Architecture
Two tiers, one process in production:
- **UI tier (TanStack Start)**: file-based routes in `src/routes/` with **selective SSR** — public pages (login, register, invitation, reset-password) are fully server-rendered (real first paint with content and whitelabel branding), while everything under `/dashboard` is `ssr: false` (pure client, no SSR cost). The document shell (`src/routes/__root.tsx`) SSRs per request with whitelabel title/meta/favicon/customCss loaded from the DB via a server function.
- **API tier (`server/server.ts`)**: Next-free node server owning tRPC, better-auth, OpenAPI REST, deploy/Stripe/git webhooks (reused from `apps/dokploy/pages/api` through `server/next-compat.ts`), websockets, cron jobs and the deployment worker. Start's server functions never import backend code — they call this tier over loopback HTTP (`/api/branding`, `/api/auth/get-session`), which keeps the UI dev process free of native/server deps.
Code reuse (unchanged from the SPA phase): `@/*` aliases into `apps/dokploy/*` (383 components consumed in place), `next/*` shims over TanStack Router in `src/shims/`, `@/utils/api` re-aliased to a `createTRPCReact` client with identical hooks/links.
## Development
One command (runs both tiers via concurrently):
```bash
pnpm --filter dokploy-vite dev
# [api] API + websockets → :3000
# [ui] Start dev (UI + SSR + HMR) → :5173 ← open this one
```
Or individually: `dev:api` / `dev:ui`. The Vite dev server proxies `/api` and all websocket paths to `:3000` (rewriting the `origin` header so better-auth accepts it). Note: in dev the two tiers are separate processes because Start's dev server owns the Vite process (it's a full SSR runtime, not an embeddable middleware); in production it's a single process (`server.ts` bridges Start's built handler).
Env loading: the API tier loads `apps/vite/.env` and falls back to `apps/dokploy/.env`. The UI tier intentionally reads no env files — its server functions only talk to the API over loopback, and leaking `NODE_ENV` from a dotfile into `vite build` produces broken dev-mode SSR bundles (`jsxDEV is not a function`).
## Production — single process, no Next
```bash
pnpm --filter dokploy-vite build # Start build → dist/client + dist/server
pnpm --filter dokploy-vite build:server # esbuild → dist-server/*.mjs (server + migration + scripts)
pnpm --filter dokploy-vite start # node server on :3000
```
`server/server.ts` serves `/api/*` + websockets directly, static assets from `dist/client`, and bridges every other request to Start's built `fetch` handler (`server/start-bridge.ts`) for SSR. Docker: `Dockerfile.vite` at the repo root (image ~1GB vs 4.33GB for the official Next-based image; ~2.6x less memory).
## Notes
- `routeTree.gen.ts` is generated by the Start plugin (ignored by biome).
- The theme anti-flash script is SSR'd automatically by next-themes — no manual hack.
- Route-level data preload can be added per route with `loader` + `queryClient.ensureQueryData` (framework-native now).
- Endgame cleanup (when `apps/dokploy` is retired): move components in, codemod the 35 `useRouter` call sites to native TanStack APIs, delete `src/shims/` and `server/next-compat.ts` (ideally porting API handlers to Hono routes in the same pass).
