```

## 🔍 Troubleshooting

### Service Won't Start

```bash
# Check logs
docker-compose logs taxcore-service

# Verify certificate
docker-compose exec taxcore-service ls -la /usr/src/app/certs/

# Check environment
docker-compose exec taxcore-service env | grep TAXCORE
```

### Certificate Not Found

```bash
# Verify on host
ls -la FRCS_Certs_Install/

# Verify in container
docker-compose exec taxcore-service ls -la /usr/src/app/certs/

# Fix permissions
chmod 644 FRCS_Certs_Install/*.pfx

# Restart service
docker-compose restart taxcore-service
```

### Network Issues

```bash
# Check network
docker network inspect taf_taf-network

# Test from PHP container
docker-compose exec php-apache curl http://taxcore-service:3001/health

# Verify environment variable
docker-compose exec php-apache env | grep TAXCORE_SERVICE_URL
```

## 🎓 Common Operations

### Update Service

```bash
# Pull latest code
git pull

# Rebuild image
docker-compose build taxcore-service

# Restart (zero downtime)
docker-compose up -d --no-deps taxcore-service
```

### Scale Service

```bash
# Run multiple instances
docker-compose up -d --scale taxcore-service=3
```

### Backup Data

```bash
# Backup certificates
tar -czf cert-backup.tar.gz FRCS_Certs_Install/

# Backup database
docker-compose exec postgres pg_dump -U taf tafdb > backup.sql

# Backup logs
tar -czf logs-backup.tar.gz logs/
```

### Clean Up

```bash
# Stop and remove containers
docker-compose down

# Remove volumes
docker-compose down -v

# Prune unused images

## ✅ Validation Checklist

### Pre-Deployment
- [ ] Docker installed (`docker --version`)
- [ ] Docker Compose installed (`docker compose version`)
- [ ] Certificate present in `FRCS_Certs_Install/`
- [ ] `.env` file configured
- [ ] Ports available (8080, 3001, 5432, 6379)

### During Deployment
- [ ] Images build without errors
- [ ] All containers start successfully
- [ ] Health checks pass
- [ ] Logs show no errors

### Post-Deployment
- [ ] Web app accessible at http://localhost:8080
- [ ] TaxCore health check passes
- [ ] Test sale completes successfully
- [ ] Receipt generated correctly
- [ ] Logs written to `logs/` directory

## 🔐 Security Best Practices

1. **Never commit certificates** to version control
2. **Use `.env` file** for sensitive data (add to `.gitignore`)
3. **Mount certificates as read-only** (`:ro` flag used)
4. **Use Docker secrets** for production
5. **Regularly update** base images
6. **Limit container resources** in production
7. **Run as non-root user** when possible
8. **Enable TLS/SSL** for external connections

## 🚀 Production Deployment

### Using Docker Swarm

```bash
# Initialize swarm
docker swarm init

# Deploy stack
docker stack deploy -c docker-compose.yml taf

# Scale service
docker service scale taf_taxcore-service=3
```

### Using Kubernetes

```bash
# Convert to Kubernetes
kompose convert

# Deploy to Kubernetes
kubectl apply -f ./kubernetes/
```

### Using Cloud Platforms

- **AWS**: Use ECS or EKS
- **Google Cloud**: Use Cloud Run or GKE
- **Azure**: Use Container Instances or AKS
- **DigitalOcean**: Use App Platform or Kubernetes

## 📈 Performance Optimization

1. **Use multi-stage builds** for smaller images
2. **Enable caching** for faster builds
3. **Use alpine images** for minimal size
4. **Optimize volume mounts** for development
5. **Configure resource limits** appropriately
6. **Use health checks** for automatic recovery
7. **Enable logging drivers** for centralized logs
