ASSESSMENT: Current Docker source build is NOT production-ready.
Too complex:
- 10+ manual setup steps
- Zscaler cert extraction required
- 15+ minute build times
- 3-container backup orchestration
- Manual plugin installation
- Scattered documentation
RECOMMENDATIONS:
- West Jefferson: Use IIS + Windows Services (simplest)
- New sites: Pre-built Docker images from registry (needs CI/CD)
- Source build: Development only, not for operations
Code is solid. Deployment automation needs 2-3 weeks investment.
Created honest assessment document explaining why current approach
is too complex and what's needed for true production readiness.
