bunker-admin 9613c3ec81 fix(upgrade): Phase 1 of upgrade-flow redesign (Approach A)
Three coordinated fixes from the upgrade-flow redesign plan
(/home/bunker-admin/.claude/plans/okay-so-we-can-enumerated-hejlsberg.md):

1. scripts/lib/mkdocs-snapshot.sh (NEW): pre-upgrade tarball snapshot of
   the entire mkdocs/ directory into the install root as
   mkdocs-backup-<timestamp>.tar.gz. Discoverable via `ls`, retained last 5.
   No-regrets fallback if anything in the upgrade goes sideways. Sourced
   by upgrade.sh (and later by image-upgrade.sh under Approach B).

2. scripts/upgrade.sh Phase 6 self-destruct fix: previously, the broad
   `docker compose up -d` recreated the ccp-agent container that was
   running the script, sending SIGKILL to the bash process before
   write_result could land result.json. Marcelle's test upgrade hit this
   tonight. Fix: temporarily remove `ccp-agent` from COMPOSE_PROFILES
   during Phase 6's broad up -d, then schedule a detached `nohup ... &
   disown` restart at the very end of the script (after write_result and
   archive_success_to_history). The deferred subshell sleeps 3s, then
   recreates ccp-agent under its profile, picking up the new image.

3. scripts/upgrade-stash-cleanup.sh (NEW): one-shot utility to list and
   drop accumulated `upgrade-*` git stashes left over by older upgrade.sh
   runs whose pop failed silently (Pride Corner has three from 2026-03-09
   alone). Warns loudly if any stash holds tenant mkdocs.yml content so
   operators verify recovery before dropping.

The .gitignore now excludes /mkdocs-backup-*.tar.gz so the rescue
archives don't leak into commits.

This is Phase 1 of three: Approach B (image-only upgrade mode) and
Approach C (CCP template re-render) follow in subsequent commits.

Changemaker Lite

Changemaker Lite

A self-hosted campaign platform for community organizers who want to own their data.

Documentation · Website · Apache 2.0 License


Changemaker Lite consolidates advocacy campaigns, geographic mapping, volunteer canvassing, media management, newsletters, and administration into a single Docker Compose stack. One .env file, one command to start, everything under your control.

Why Changemaker Lite?

Most campaign tools are SaaS platforms that lock you into monthly subscriptions, hold your data hostage, and disappear when funding dries up. Changemaker Lite is different:

  • Self-hosted -- runs on any machine with Docker. Your server, your data.
  • All-in-one -- replaces 5-10 separate tools with a single integrated platform.
  • Free and open source -- Apache 2.0 licensed. Fork it, modify it, make it yours.
  • Privacy-first -- no telemetry, no third-party analytics, no data leaving your server.

What's Inside

Advocacy Campaigns

Let supporters look up their elected representatives by postal code and send advocacy emails in a few clicks. Track responses, moderate a public response wall, and monitor email delivery.

Public Campaign Page

Campaign Management

Interactive Map & Canvassing

Import thousands of addresses, draw canvassing areas, schedule volunteer shifts, and track door-to-door visits with GPS. Volunteers get a full-screen mobile map with real-time location tracking and visit recording.

Public Map

Canvass Dashboard

Volunteer Portal

Volunteers get their own portal with shift sign-ups, canvassing assignments, activity tracking, a social calendar, and a friends system to stay connected with their team.

Volunteer Map

Volunteer Calendar

Upload campaign videos, manage metadata, schedule publishing, and share them through a public gallery. Includes GDPR-compliant analytics.

Media Library

Landing Pages & Email Templates

Build campaign microsites with a drag-and-drop GrapesJS editor. Design email templates for consistent campaign communications.

SMS Campaigns, Newsletters & More

Send SMS campaigns via an Android bridge, sync subscribers to Listmonk for newsletters, recognize volunteers on a Wall of Fame leaderboard, and monitor everything with built-in Prometheus + Grafana observability.

Quick Start

Production (pre-built images)

# 1. One-command install: checks host ports, downloads tarball, runs config wizard
curl -fsSL https://gitea.bnkops.com/admin/changemaker.lite/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

# 2. Start services (first pull ~3 min + ~90s stabilization)
cd ~/changemaker.lite && docker compose up -d

# 3. Verify the install
bash scripts/test-deployment.sh --wait 60

The installer checks your host's port availability before extracting — no more half-started stacks from cockpit on :9090 or other surprises. The generated admin password is printed to stdout and saved to data/admin-credentials.txt (mode 0600). See Prerequisites for what you need lined up first.

Development (source)

git clone <repo-url> changemaker.lite
cd changemaker.lite

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env -- set passwords, JWT secrets, admin credentials

docker compose up -d v2-postgres redis api admin
docker compose exec api npx prisma migrate deploy
docker compose exec api npx prisma db seed

Then open http://localhost:3000 and log in with the admin credentials from your .env.

Useful tools

bash scripts/validate-env.sh          # re-check .env + host ports
bash scripts/test-deployment.sh       # full deployment health sweep
bash scripts/pangolin-teardown.sh     # wipe tunnel org before reinstall (dry-run by default)
bash scripts/ccp-deregister.sh        # deregister from Changemaker Control Panel (dry-run by default)

Documentation

Full documentation is available at cmlite.org/docs/getting-started.

The docs site covers installation, configuration, all features, architecture details, production deployment with Pangolin tunnels, and troubleshooting. It is the authoritative and up-to-date reference for Changemaker Lite.

Architecture at a Glance

Layer Technology
API Express.js + Prisma + PostgreSQL 16
Media API Fastify + Prisma (shared DB)
Frontend React + Vite + Ant Design + Zustand
Reverse Proxy Nginx (subdomain routing)
Cache & Queue Redis + BullMQ

Monitoring Prometheus + Grafana + Alertmanager
Tunneling Pangolin (self-hosted Cloudflare alternative)

The entire stack runs on Docker Compose. Enable optional modules (media, newsletters, SMS, monitoring) with feature flags in .env.
