Daily Form

Shared daily check-in form. Answers are global (no per-session state). Auto-snapshots to MongoDB at 10:00 AM Riga time.

Setup

1. MongoDB Atlas (free)

1. Go to https://cloud.mongodb.com → create account → create a free M0 cluster
2. Create a database user (Database Access → Add New User)
3. Allow access from anywhere (Network Access → Add IP Address → 0.0.0.0/0)
4. Get connection string (Connect → Drivers) — looks like: mongodb+srv://user:pass@cluster.mongodb.net/

2. Configure

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and paste your MongoDB URI

3. Run on saturn

# Copy files to saturn
scp -r . armandins@saturn:/opt/dailyform

# SSH in
ssh armandins@saturn
cd /opt/dailyform

docker compose up -d

Then add to Nginx Proxy Manager pointing to port 5000.

4. Editing questions

Edit questions.yaml and restart the container:

docker compose restart

The questions.yaml is mounted as a read-only volume so you edit it on the host, no rebuild needed.
