Dockerize chat_backend + Ollama LAN + DB file storage (#6) (#7)

## Summary

Implements [chat_backend#6](#6) Part A:

- **uv** packaging (`pyproject.toml` + `uv.lock`), Docker/compose (dev + prod), entrypoint/validate-env, Gitea unit-test + auto-deploy workflows (mirror `scha`)
- Env-driven Django settings (`DJANGO_*`, `DATABASE_URL`, CSRF/CORS)
- **`OLLAMA_BASE_URL`** wired through all Ollama/LangChain clients (prod → `http://10.0.0.128:11434`)
- **DatabaseStorage** — prompt/document file blobs in Postgres (`StoredFile`), not container FS; RAG materializes temp paths for loaders
- ASGI via `gunicorn` + `UvicornWorker` (HTTP + WebSockets)

Companion server-infra PR registers `app_catalog` / `host_apps` (port **8003**).

## Test plan

- [ ] `uv sync && cd llm_be && SKIP_RAG_INIT=1 uv run python manage.py test`
- [ ] `docker compose build && docker compose up` against bundled Postgres
- [ ] Confirm Ollama calls use `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` (not hardcoded localhost)
- [ ] Upload a document / prompt file → row in `chat_backend_storedfile`, no disk under `media/`
- [ ] After server-infra merge + secret/Postgres/NPM: deploy via `deploy.sh --app chat_backend --env prod`Reviewed-on: #7

-# Chat Bot Backend

-## Setup

+Packaging via `uv`; production deploy via `server-infra`.
 
-Clone the repo
-```console
-git clone http://10.0.0.160:3000/AI_ML_Operations_LLC/Chat_Bot_Backend.git
+Companion frontend: [`chat_web_app`](https://git.aimloperations.com/ai_ml_operations/chat_web_app)
+(node-static, not Docker).
+
+Ticket: [chat_backend#6](https://git.aimloperations.com/ai_ml_operations/chat_backend/issues/6)
+

 ```
 
-Go into the repo
-```console
-cd Chat_Bot_Backend
+## Local development
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.12+
+- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)
+- Docker + Docker Compose (optional, recommended)
+- Ollama reachable at `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` for LLM features
+
+### uv (host)
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+uv sync
+cd llm_be
+uv run python manage.py migrate
+uv run python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8003
 ```
 
-Create the virtual environment
-```console
-virtualenv --python=python3.9 venv
+Without `DATABASE_URL` / `DB_HOST`, settings fall back to SQLite (`llm_be/db.sqlite3`).
+
+Tests (skip live-Ollama classifier cases):
+
+```bash
+cd llm_be
+SKIP_RAG_INIT=1 uv run python manage.py test
 ```
 
-Activate the Virtual Environment
-```console
-. venv/bin/activate
+### Docker (dev, bundled Postgres)
+
+```bash
+docker compose up --build
 ```
 
-Install the requirments
-```console
-python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
+App: http://localhost:8003 — Postgres via bundled `db`
+(`postgres://chat_backend:chat_backend@db:5432/chat_backend`).
+Compose does **not** read host `DATABASE_URL` (avoids CI/prod leaks); override
+with `COMPOSE_DATABASE_URL` if needed.
+
+## Environment variables
+
+| Variable | Dev default | Prod required | Notes |
+|----------|-------------|---------------|-------|
+| `DJANGO_ENV` | `dev` | `prod` / `beta` | |
+| `DJANGO_SECRET_KEY` | insecure default | yes | Must be real in prod/beta |
+| `DJANGO_DEBUG` | true when `dev` | `false` | |
+| `DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS` | localhost + chat hosts | yes | Comma-separated |
+| `DJANGO_CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS` | derived from hosts | optional | Full origins |
+| `DATABASE_URL` | SQLite fallback | yes | Shared Postgres in prod |
+| `WEB_PORT` | n/a (compose maps 8003) | `8003` | Host port for prod compose |
+| `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` | `http://127.0.0.1:11434` | yes | GPU host in prod: `http://10.0.0.128:11434` |
+| `OLLAMA_MODEL` / `OLLAMA_EMBED_MODEL` | from `DEBUG` | optional | Override model names |
+| `EMAIL_HOST_*` | empty | yes (prod/beta) | SMTP2GO |
+| `CAPTCHA_SECRET_KEY` | empty | recommended | |
+| `CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS` | local + chat FE | set in prod | Frontend origin |
+| `USE_TLS_PROXY` | false (dev) | true behind NPM | Sets `SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER` |
+| `GUNICORN_WORKERS` / `GUNICORN_BIND` | 2 / `0.0.0.0:8000` | optional | Entrypoint |
+| `SKIP_RAG_INIT` | unset | CI/migrate often `1` | Skip Chroma/Ollama boot work |
+
+Templates: `.env.example` (local), `.env.prod.example` (control-node secret).
+
+Control-node secret path (server-infra on ai-server-4080):
+
+```text
+~/Documents/secrets/chat_backend/chat_backend_prod.env
 ```
 
-Pre-populate the database with test data
+Validate with:
 
-Run the dev server
-```console
-python manage.py
+```bash
+./scripts/validate-env.sh ~/Documents/secrets/chat_backend/chat_backend_prod.env
 ```
 
-## TODO
+If `DATABASE_URL` password contains `$`, escape each as `$$` for Compose.
 
- - [ ] Create inital database with temp data
- - [ ] Do a lot of stuff.....
+## Ollama
+
+All clients (`ollama.Client`, `OllamaLLM`, `OllamaEmbeddings`, `ChatOllama`) use
+`OLLAMA_BASE_URL` — never hardcoded localhost in deployed code.
+
+| Env | Typical URL |
+|-----|-------------|
+| Local (Ollama on same machine) | `http://127.0.0.1:11434` |
+| prod / beta (containers on adama/roslin/ai-server) | `http://10.0.0.128:11434` |
+
+Firewall / Ollama listen on ai-server-4080 must allow `10.0.0.0/24` → `:11434`.
+
+## File storage
+
+Prompt attachments and workspace documents use **`DatabaseStorage`**
+(`chat_backend.StoredFile` BinaryField in Postgres). Blobs are **not** written
+to the container filesystem under `media/`.
+
+RAG loaders that need a path materialize a short-lived temp file, then delete it.
+Chroma’s vector index may still use a volume (`chroma_db`); that is embeddings
+metadata, not the original upload.
+
+## Production (docker-compose.prod.yml)
+
+- Single `web` service; **no** bundled DB — `DATABASE_URL` → shared Postgres (`10.0.0.230`).
+- Host port from `WEB_PORT` (catalog: **8003**; beta reserved **8013**).
+- Entrypoint: wait DB → migrate → collectstatic → `gunicorn` + `UvicornWorker`
+  (ASGI for HTTP **and** WebSockets).
+- Active/active on **adama + roslin + ai-server-4080**; NPM balances upstreams.
+- Deployed by:
+
+```bash
+~/Documents/repos/server-infra/scripts/deploy.sh \
+  --app chat_backend --env prod --ref <sha>
+```
+
+## CI / CD (Gitea Actions)
+
+| Workflow | Trigger | Action |
+|----------|---------|--------|
+| `unittests.yml` | push + PR → `master` | `uv sync` + `manage.py test` |
+| `ci.yml` | PR → `master` | same unit tests |
+| `deploy.yml` | after Unit Tests succeeds on `master` **push** | docker build + tests on **ephemeral compose Postgres** → `deploy.sh` |
+
+Deploy never runs on PRs.
+
+## Security note
+
+Secrets previously hardcoded in `settings.py` (email password, captcha, Django
+secret) must live only in the control-node env file. Rotate anything that was
+ever committed; never commit `.env` or `~/Documents/secrets/`.
