Liosha84andJunie 597d8f380a Major improvements: multi-stage Docker, security hardening, host metrics, tests
- Multi-stage Docker build: Dockerfile compiles frontend (Node.js) and
  backend (Gradle) inside Docker; no local Java/Node.js required
- Security hardening: replaced full host root mount with specific
  directory mounts (/proc, /sys, /etc, /var, /home, /opt, /tmp, /srv, /usr)
- Host metrics consistency: LinuxMemoryService and CpuDetailsService now
  read from /host/proc instead of container OSHI
- Concurrency: replaced synchronized with AtomicReference in 3 services
- Global error handling: added @RestControllerAdvice for JSON error responses
- Unit tests: added 32 tests for /proc parsers, CPU usage, process uptime
- Docker security: non-root user, read-only FS, no-new-privileges, healthcheck
- Debug logging: added log.debug() in silent catch blocks
- Documentation: updated README, INSTALLATION, DEVELOPMENT, CONFIGURATION,
  ARCHITECTURE, CHANGELOG

# Development
## Prerequisites
- Java 21
- Node.js and npm compatible with `frontend/package.json`
- Docker Engine and Docker Compose for container testing
## Build and test
### Option 1: Gradle build (requires Java 21 and Node.js)
From the repository root:
```bash
cd backend
./gradlew clean build
```
This invokes the configured Gradle build, including frontend build tasks.
### Option 2: Docker multi-stage build (requires only Docker)
Build the entire application inside Docker — no local Java or Node.js required:
```bash
docker build -t htop-web .
```
This uses a multi-stage Dockerfile with three stages:
1. **Frontend** — builds Angular with Node.js 22 Alpine
2. **Builder** — compiles the backend with Gradle and Java 21 JDK
3. **Runtime** — packages only the JAR and Java 21 JRE (~200 MB final image)
The Docker build is fully reproducible and does not depend on tools installed on the host machine.
## Frontend development
Frontend source code is located in `frontend/`.
Install dependencies using the lockfile:
```bash
cd frontend
npm ci
```
Run the frontend development server using the project's configured npm scripts:
```bash
npm start
```
If the project does not define a `start` script, inspect `frontend/package.json` and use its available script, such as `npm run`.
## Run the container
### With Docker Compose (recommended)
From the repository root:
```bash
docker compose up -d --build
docker compose logs -f htop-web
```
The `--build` flag triggers the multi-stage Docker build automatically.
### With Docker only
If you built the image manually:
```bash
docker run -d \
--name htop-web \
--pid host \
--read-only \
--security-opt no-new-privileges:true \
--tmpfs /tmp:noexec,nosuid,size=64m \
-v /proc:/host/proc:ro \
-v /sys:/host/sys:ro \
-v /etc/hostname:/host/etc/hostname:ro \
-v /etc/os-release:/host/etc/os-release:ro \
-v /var:/host/var:ro \
-v /home:/host/home:ro \
-v /opt:/host/opt:ro \
-v /tmp:/host/tmp:ro \
-v /srv:/host/srv:ro \
-v /usr:/host/usr:ro \
-p 8080:8080 \
htop-web
```
## Contribution guidelines
- Keep changes focused and reviewable.
- Do not commit generated build output or dependency directories.
- Do not commit credentials, private keys, or local environment files.
- Update documentation when build or runtime behavior changes.
- Run the build before submitting changes.
