aviyadeveloper ee5e319dad docs: project planning and architecture design
- Add ADR.md documenting all technology stack decisions with rationale
- Create comprehensive ROADMAP.md with 10-phase implementation plan
- Add 3 architecture diagrams (AWS infrastructure, application stack, network)
- Document collaboration guidelines in `.github/copilot-instructions.md`
- Technology stack descisions: AWS, Terraform, Ansible, Docker Compose, PostgreSQL

Phase 1 establishes foundation for automated Gitea deployment with
proper decision tracking and incremental development approach.

Network Components

VPC Configuration

  • CIDR Block: 10.0.0.0/16 (65,536 IP addresses)
  • Region: Single AWS region
  • DNS Hostnames: Enabled
  • DNS Resolution: Enabled

Subnets

  • Public Subnet: 10.0.1.0/24 (256 IP addresses)
    • Auto-assign public IP: Enabled
    • Contains: EC2 instance
    • Route table: Routes to Internet Gateway

Internet Gateway

  • Attached to VPC
  • Enables internet access for resources in public subnet

Security Groups

EC2 Security Group:

  • Inbound Rules:
    • Port 22 (SSH): From admin IP only (for management)
    • Port 80 (HTTP): From 0.0.0.0/0 (redirects to HTTPS)
    • Port 443 (HTTPS): From 0.0.0.0/0 (Gitea access)
  • Outbound Rules:
    • All traffic: To 0.0.0.0/0 (for updates, backups to S3)

Security Considerations

  1. SSH Access: Restricted to specific admin IP address (your IP)
  2. HTTP/HTTPS: Open to internet (required for Gitea web access)
  3. No Direct Gitea Access: Port 3000 not exposed; only nginx on 80/443
  4. Outbound: Allowed for Docker image pulls, package updates, S3 backups

Traffic Flow

  1. User request → Internet → Internet Gateway
  2. Internet Gateway → Public Subnet → EC2 instance
  3. Security Group inspects and allows traffic on ports 80/443
  4. Nginx receives request, terminates SSL, proxies to Gitea
