- Caddyfile updated with direct IP addresses
- All changes committed to repository
Previous Task: CACHE CONTROL HEADERS ADDED ✅
MAD Lawsuit Website Cache Prevention Implemented:
- Problem: HTTP response caching causing stale 404 responses for PDF downloads
- Root Cause: Caddy/CDN caching API responses, persisting even after fixes deployed
- Solution: Added Cache-Control headers to prevent future caching
- Status: CACHE HEADERS ACTIVE, LEGACY CACHE EXPIRING ⏳
Cache Control Implementation Details
Problem Identified:
- After implementing dedicated backend subdomain, some PDF downloads still returned 404
- Testing revealed cached responses from before the fix was deployed
- Cache persisted through multiple Caddy restarts and data directory clearing
- Indicates upstream CDN or aggressive HTTP caching layer
Solution Implemented ✅:
-
Added Cache-Control Headers to Caddyfile
- Location:
mad-lawsuit.orgblock in Caddyfile - Headers:
Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate - Scope: All
/api/*routes - Purpose: Prevent new caches from forming
- Location:
-
Caddyfile Update:
mad-lawsuit.org {
# Disable caching for API routes to prevent stale responses
header /api/* {
Cache-Control "no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate"
}
reverse_proxy 172.18.0.1:806
}
- Deployment Process:
- Updated local Caddyfile
- SCP'd to server:
~/docker/caddy/config/Caddyfile - Restarted Caddy:
docker compose -f caddy-compose.yml down && up -d - Verified headers:
cache-control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate✅
Current Status:
- ✅ Cache-Control headers active and being sent
- ✅ API endpoint working:
https://mad-lawsuit.org/api/docket-entriesreturns 63 entries - ✅ Direct backend working: All PDFs accessible via
https://files.mad-lawsuit.org - ⏳ Legacy cached 404s: Documents 4, 11, 13 still have cached responses (will expire naturally)
- ✅ New requests: Will NOT be cached due to Cache-Control headers
Workaround for Users:
- Use direct backend URL for immediate access:
https://files.mad-lawsuit.org/api/documents/{id}/download - Frontend proxy URLs will work correctly once legacy cache expires (typically 24 hours)
Previous Task: DEDICATED BACKEND SUBDOMAIN IMPLEMENTED ✅
MAD Lawsuit Website Backend Moved to files.mad-lawsuit.org:
- Problem: PDF downloads unreliable through frontend proxy tunnel
- Root Cause: Frontend proxy (Next.js) creating instability for file downloads
- Solution: Created dedicated backend subdomain with direct Caddy routing
- Status: BACKEND SUBDOMAIN FULLY OPERATIONAL ✅
Dedicated Backend Subdomain Implementation Details
Architecture Changes:
-
Backend Port Change ✅ COMPLETED
- Changed: Backend port from 809 → 901 (9xx range for backends)
- Reason: Follow port structure convention (8xx for frontends, 9xx for backends)
- File:
docker-compose.yml
-
New Subdomain Configuration ✅ COMPLETED
- Created:
files.mad-lawsuit.orgsubdomain for backend API - DNS: Already resolving to same IP as mad-lawsuit.org
- Caddy: Direct reverse proxy to backend on port 901
- File:
Caddyfile
- Created:
-
Simplified Frontend Routing ✅ COMPLETED
- Changed:
mad-lawsuit.orgnow only proxies to frontend (port 806) - Removed: Complex path-based routing (/api/* handling)
- Result: Cleaner, more reliable frontend routing
- Changed:
-
Frontend API Proxy Update ✅ COMPLETED
- Changed: Frontend now calls
https://files.mad-lawsuit.org/api/* - Previous: Called internal Docker container
http://mad-lawsuit-backend-1:3001 - Benefit: Direct backend access, no proxy tunnel issues
- File:
frontend/src/app/api/[...path]/route.ts
- Changed: Frontend now calls
-
Backend CORS Update ✅ COMPLETED
- Added: Both
mad-lawsuit.organdfiles.mad-lawsuit.orgto allowed origins - Reason: Backend needs to accept requests from both domains
- File:
backend/src/index.ts
- Added: Both
Final Architecture
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

Benefits of New Architecture
- Reliability: Direct backend access eliminates proxy tunnel issues
- Stability: Backend isolated from frontend routing problems
- Performance: Reduced latency without frontend proxy overhead
- Maintainability: Cleaner separation of concerns
- Scalability: Can scale frontend/backend independently
- Debugging: Easier to troubleshoot backend-specific issues
Deployment Status ✅
- Code Changes: Committed to Git (commit
a2595246) - Caddyfile: Uploaded and reloaded on server
- Containers: Rebuilt and restarted with new configuration
- Verification: Both domains responding correctly

Git Commit
commit a2595246
Implement dedicated backend subdomain files.mad-lawsuit.org
- Changed backend port from 809 to 901 (9xx range for backends)
- Updated docker-compose.yml to expose backend on port 901
- Created new Caddyfile with files.mad-lawsuit.org subdomain
- Simplified mad-lawsuit.org to only proxy to frontend (port 806)
- Updated frontend API proxy to use https://files.mad-lawsuit.org
- Updated backend CORS to allow both mad-lawsuit.org and files.mad-lawsuit.org
- This fixes PDF download reliability issues by providing direct backend access
Previous Task: PDF DOWNLOAD ISSUE FULLY RESOLVED ✅
MAD Lawsuit Website PDF Download Fixed via Direct Backend Routing:
- Problem: PDF downloads failing with "Endpoint not found" error
- Root Cause: Caddy was routing ALL requests (including /api/*) to frontend, frontend's Next.js proxy couldn't properly handle the requests
- Solution: Exposed backend on port 809 and configured Caddy to route /api/* directly to backend
- Status: PDF DOWNLOADS WORKING ✅ (Now superseded by dedicated subdomain)
PDF Download Fix Implementation Details
Issues Resolved:
-
Caddy Routing Issue ✅ FIXED
- Problem: Caddy configuration only proxied to frontend (port 806), no separate API routing
- Impact: All /api/* requests went through frontend's Next.js proxy, causing routing issues
- Solution: Exposed backend on port 809 and configured Caddy to route /api/* directly to backend
- Files:
docker-compose.yml, Caddy configuration
-
Backend Port Exposure ✅ FIXED
- Problem: Backend not exposed to host, only accessible within Docker network
- Solution: Added
ports: - "809:3001"to backend service in docker-compose.yml - File:
docker-compose.yml
-
Caddy Configuration Update ✅ FIXED
- Problem: Simple reverse proxy to frontend didn't handle API routes separately
- Solution: Added handle blocks to route /api/* to backend (809) and everything else to frontend (806)
- File:
/home/chaulmark/docker/caddy/config/Caddyfile
Final Caddy Configuration
mad-lawsuit.org {
# Route API requests directly to backend
handle /api/* {
reverse_proxy 172.18.0.1:809
}
# Route everything else to frontend
handle {
reverse_proxy 172.18.0.1:806
}
}
Verification ✅
# Backend accessible on port 809
curl http://localhost:809/api/documents/9/download
# HTTP 200 - PDF content returned
# Public domain working
curl https://mad-lawsuit.org/api/documents/9/download
# HTTP 200 - PDF content returned
Git Commits Made

Previous Task: DOCKER BUILD ISSUES FULLY RESOLVED ✅
MAD Lawsuit Website Docker Deployment Successfully Fixed:
- Problem: Docker containers failing to build and run due to pnpm and Prisma issues
- Root Cause: Prisma CLI in devDependencies but needed in production for client generation
- Solution: Dependency restructuring + Docker build process optimization
- Status: ALL CONTAINERS RUNNING AND HEALTHY ✅
Docker Fix Implementation Details
Issues Resolved:
-
pnpm TTY Error ✅ FIXED
- Problem:
pnpm prune --prodfailing with TTY error in Docker build - Solution: Added
ENV CI=trueto Dockerfile before prune command - File:
backend/Dockerfile
- Problem:
-
Prisma Client Missing After Prune ✅ FIXED
- Problem:
prismaCLI in devDependencies, removed during production prune - Impact: Prisma client generation failing, backend crashing with MODULE_NOT_FOUND
- Solution: Moved
prismafrom devDependencies to dependencies in package.json - Files:
backend/package.json,backend/pnpm-lock.yaml
- Problem:
-
Outdated Lockfile ✅ FIXED
- Problem: pnpm-lock.yaml outdated after dependency changes
- Impact:
pnpm install --frozen-lockfilefailing in Docker build - Solution: Regenerated lockfile locally and committed to repository
Final Docker Build Process
# Install all dependencies
RUN pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
# Generate Prisma client (first time)
RUN pnpm prisma generate
# Build application
RUN pnpm build
# Remove dev dependencies (but keep prisma CLI)
ENV CI=true
RUN pnpm prune --prod
# Regenerate Prisma client (after prune, using production deps)
RUN pnpm prisma generate
