Replace hardcoded Stripe Payment Links with client-side fetch to
https://licenses.dashcaddy.net/api/checkout/{one-time,subscription}.
Add email capture input and two-button checkout (Buy once vs.
Subscribe & auto-renew). Plan codes: premium_30d/90d/180d/365d.
Update hero copy and FAQ to reflect both payment modes.
Round-1 docs claimed things the code does not do. This commit rewrites
all 77 per-template pages + the catalog index to match reality:
CORRECTED:
- REST API payload shape: was {template, subdomain, port, environment}
Real Joi schema (src/utilities/validate.js appDeploy) is
{appId, config: {subdomain, port, mediaPath?, plexClaimToken?, ...}}
All optional fields now documented per-schema.
- Auth methods: was just "Authorization: Bearer" — real middleware
accepts three (TOTP session cookie, Authorization: Bearer JWT,
X-API-Key header). All three now shown.
- Deploy is synchronous: was "poll GET /api/v1/apps/{id}/status" — there
is no status endpoint. Response shape documented as
{success, containerId, url, message, setupInstructions}.
- AI Intent Router: was "starts the deployment" — it returns a
structured intent; the caller must POST /api/v1/apps/deploy to
actually provision. Documented accurately.
- MCP dashcaddy_deploy_app: was treated as full deploy — it only writes
the Caddy route + services.json entry, NOT the container. Documented
as such with manual docker pull as next step.
- Watchtower: was claimed to auto-update every 24h — DashCaddy does NOT
poll for new digests. Watchtower is a separate template with default
schedule 0 0 4 * * * (cron 04:00). Documented.
- Update button: was "Apps → {Name} → Update" — no such endpoint exists.
Manual docker pull + restart now documented.
- Restore-on-install: was "prompt to restore from snapshot during install"
— no such prompt. POST /api/v1/apps/{appId}/restore documented.
- Backups: was "default daily snapshot" — backup schedule is
configurable via backup-config.json, not "nightly" by default.
Volumes ARE included; documented.
- Dashboard menu: was "Apps → Catalog" — actual entry is the
"App Selector" button on the dashboard home. Documented.
- Dashboard URL: status.sami confirmed correct (configurable via
dashboardHost).
Also fixes default port resolution: was using portList[0].split(":")[0]
which leaks "{{PORT}}" literal when the template uses the placeholder.
Now uses t.defaultPort (Joi-validated) first, falling back to portList.
Build: 78 routes prerender as static, TypeScript clean.
Whenever app-templates.js gains or changes a template, run this script
to keep /docs/catalog in sync. It generates all 78 static pages and
verifies the Next.js build still passes.
Generate one dedicated install page per template in /docs/catalog/<id>/.
Each page covers:
- Prerequisites (with claim-token reminders where applicable)
- Three install paths: dashboard UI, REST API (with curl), AI Intent Router
- Post-install first-run checklist (from the template metadata)
- Volume mounts and persistent data
- Environment variables
- Watchtower auto-update behavior
- Backup inclusion
- Common troubleshooting
- Related services (category-aware cross-links)
Also add /docs/catalog index page grouping all 77 templates by 17
categories, with difficulty badges and popularity-sorted entries.
Sidebar updated to show the new App Catalog entry.
Generated by /tmp/generate-template-docs.js (run from /opt/dashcaddy
in a follow-up to keep content in sync with app-templates.js).
Removed apps that have no deploy template in code:
- Subsonic, Vikunja, OpenProject, Plane, HedgeDoc
- Yacht, Authelia, Keycloak, OpenVPN, Bitwarden
- Forgejo, GitLab, Prometheus, Netdata, Kibana, OpenHAB
Also fixed name: 'Vintage Radio' → 'Vintage Stereo' (matches actual template)
Corrected all '93+' references to '76' across all pages.
Deployed to live dashcaddy.net via cPanel API.
The about page 'By the Numbers' section was still showing '5' for the
language count. Updated to '31' to match the i18n system's 31-language
support.
Note: live server may need Apache cache flush to serve the updated page.
- next.config.ts: enable trailingSlash:true so Next.js generates /page/index.html
instead of /page.html, enabling Apache DirectoryIndex to serve clean URLs
- Rename src/app/legal/ to src/app/policies/ because cPanel/Apache blocks
the /legal/ URL path (returns 403 regardless of file permissions)
- Update Footer.tsx and terms page links from /legal/ to /policies/
- .htaccess: add DirectoryIndex directive for subdirectory index.html serving
- All 15 pages verified live on dashcaddy.net returning HTTP 200
- Added vintage-radio (93rd app template) to AppShowcase
- Updated '92+' to '93+' across homepage, about, features, pricing, docs
- Deployed to live site via FTPS
- features.tsx: 'JavaScript SDK & REST API' → 'REST API (260+ endpoints)'
- docs/premium: 'the JS SDK' → 'the REST API'
- docs/api: 'and the SDK' → 'and integrations'
The SDK package doesn't exist; the REST API is the correct integration surface.
Deployed to live dashcaddy.net via cPanel API with cache-busting rewrite.
- Update about page Jest test stat from 775+ to verified 1770+ (confirmed via jest run)
- Replace misleading "39 SDK Methods" with "260+ API Endpoints"
- These numbers are now accurate as of the 77 test suites / 1770 tests run
Removed: Subsonic, OpenVPN, GitLab, Prometheus, Netdata, Vikunja, OpenProject, Plane, HedgeDoc, Yacht, Bitwarden, Keycloak, Authelia, Kibana, Standard Notes, Trilium, Outline, Calibre-Web (some exist, some dont - aligned to verified template list)
Added: all 76 real templates from /opt/dashcaddy/dashcaddy-api/src/docker/app-templates.js
Deployed to live dashcaddy.net via cPanel API
- AppShowcase: Removed 7 non-existent apps (Kaleidescape, Synology Photos, Homelabs, DockSTARTer, Unraid, TrueNAS, New Relic), added 50+ real app templates that exist in code
- Updated template count from 76+ to 92+ across all pages
- Fixed test count from 1400+ to 775+ (actual count)
- Added mod_rewrite fallback for old doc path redirects (fixes 500 errors)
- Added caching, compression, and proper error handling in .htaccess
- globals.css: surface colors flip via CSS custom properties (.dark class)
- Navbar: sun/moon toggle button, persists to localStorage, respects OS preference
- Footer: theme-aware logo (light logo for dark mode, dark logo for light mode)
- Layout: no-FOUC inline script applies theme before first paint
- Both DashCaddy wide logos (light+dark) swap based on theme
- Sami's personal samiahmed7777 logo in footer copyright is untouched
Navbar/Footer: Use brand-logo.png (transparent bg) instead of logo-dark.jpg
Favicon: Updated to brand icon
Added brand-wide-dark.png and brand-wide-light.png for future use
Navbar/Footer: Logo replaces text 'DashCaddy' wordmark, image-only branding
Docs: All 7 pages rewritten to comprehensive 200-300 line guides with code
examples, callout boxes, reference tables, and cross-page links
Stripe: 4 Payment Links wired in (0/30d, 0/90d, 0/180d, 9/365d)
Products and Prices created in Stripe Dashboard
Pricing model from catalog.js: 0/30d, 0/90d, 0/180d, 9/365d
All one-time payments, not recurring subscriptions.
Updated plan selector, FAQ, and button labels accordingly.
