Portfolio VPS

This repository contains a full-stack portfolio website and API, designed for deployment via containers and orchestration. It consists of three main components:

Architecture

• ASP.NET Core API (aspnet-api/PortfolioBack): Serves as the backend for portfolio data, projects, skills, and assets. Uses PostgreSQL (with pgvector) for storage and supports vector search for advanced queries. Provides RESTful endpoints for frontend consumption.
• Next.js Frontend (nextjs-app): A modern, responsive portfolio site built with Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Supabase. Features include an AI-powered chat, project gallery with carousels, contact page, dark mode, and integration with Supabase for data and image storage.
• PostgreSQL: Database service with vector search support for semantic queries.

Features

• AI-powered chat (frontend)
• Project gallery with carousels
• Contact page
• Responsive design & dark mode
• Supabase integration
• RESTful API for projects, skills, assets, and search
• Containerized deployment with Docker Compose

Development & Deployment

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Node.js & npm (for frontend development)
• .NET SDK (for backend development)

Local Development

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/theoriginaltudor/portfolio-vps.git
   cd portfolio-vps

2. Start services (all containers):

   podman-compose -f db.compose.yaml up --build
   # or
   docker-compose -f db.compose.yaml up --build

3. Frontend:

   cd nextjs-app
   npm install
   npm run dev

4. Backend:

   cd aspnet-api/PortfolioBack
   dotnet run

Production Deployment

• Use compose.yaml for production orchestration.
• Nginx reverse proxies requests to Next.js and serves images from /images/.
• Environment variables for database and API connections are required.

API Endpoints

• /api/projects – List all projects
• /api/skills – List all skills
• /api/assets – Project assets
• /api/search – Vector search for projects
• /api/data-transfer – Data transfer operations

Tech Stack

• ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework Core, PostgreSQL (pgvector)
• Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Supabase
