# Hostinger Deployment - Quick Start Guide **🚀 Deploy in 5 Minutes** This guide will get your Hostaway MCP Server running on Hostinger VPS in just a few steps. --- ## Prerequisites 1. **Hostinger VPS**: Ubuntu 24 VPS provisioned 2. **SSH Access**: You can connect via `ssh root@your-vps-hostname` 3. **Credentials**: Your Hostaway Account ID and Secret Key --- ## Option 1: Automated Deployment (Recommended) ### Step 1: Run Deployment Script ```bash # From your local machine, in the project directory ./deploy.sh root@your-app.hstgr.cloud ``` The script will: - ✅ Sync files to VPS - ✅ Install Docker (if needed) - ✅ Create .env template - ✅ Build and deploy container - ✅ Configure firewall - ✅ Verify deployment ### Step 2: Configure Credentials ```bash # SSH into VPS ssh root@your-app.hstgr.cloud # Edit .env file nano /opt/hostaway-mcp/.env # Update these values: HOSTAWAY_ACCOUNT_ID=your_actual_account_id HOSTAWAY_SECRET_KEY=your_actual_secret_key ``` Save and exit (Ctrl+X, Y, Enter) ### Step 3: Restart Application ```bash cd /opt/hostaway-mcp docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml restart ``` ### Step 4: Verify Deployment ```bash # Check health curl http://localhost:8080/health # Get your public IP curl -s ifconfig.me # Test MCP endpoint curl http://$(curl -s ifconfig.me):8080/mcp ``` **Done!** 🎉 --- ## Option 2: Manual Deployment ### Step 1: Transfer Files ```bash # From local machine rsync -avz --exclude '.venv' --exclude 'logs' \ /Users/darrenmorgan/AI_Projects/hostaway-mcp/ \ root@your-app.hstgr.cloud:/opt/hostaway-mcp/ ``` ### Step 2: Install Docker on VPS ```bash # SSH into VPS ssh root@your-app.hstgr.cloud # Install Docker curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh sh get-docker.sh # Install Docker Compose apt install docker-compose-plugin -y ``` ### Step 3: Configure Environment ```bash cd /opt/hostaway-mcp # Create .env file cat > .env << 'EOF' HOSTAWAY_ACCOUNT_ID=your_account_id HOSTAWAY_SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key HOSTAWAY_API_BASE_URL=https://api.hostaway.com/v1 LOG_LEVEL=INFO ENVIRONMENT=production EOF # Secure the file chmod 600 .env ``` ### Step 4: Deploy Container ```bash docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d --build ``` ### Step 5: Configure Firewall ```bash ufw allow 8080/tcp ufw enable ``` ### Step 6: Verify ```bash # Check status docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml ps # Check logs docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f ``` --- ## Configure MCP Clients ### Claude Desktop **File**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` ```json { "mcpServers": { "hostaway-mcp": { "url": "http://YOUR_VPS_IP:8080/mcp", "description": "Remote Hostaway MCP server on Hostinger" } } } Replace `YOUR_VPS_IP` with your actual VPS IP address: ```bash # Get VPS IP ssh root@your-app.hstgr.cloud 'curl -s ifconfig.me' ``` ### Test Connection 1. Restart Claude Desktop 2. Check MCP Servers settings → should see "hostaway-mcp" connected 3. Test: "Use hostaway-mcp to list my properties" --- ## Useful Commands ### Deployment Management ```bash # Deploy/Update ./deploy.sh root@your-app.hstgr.cloud # Manual restart ssh root@your-app.hstgr.cloud 'cd /opt/hostaway-mcp && docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml restart' # View logs ssh root@your-app.hstgr.cloud 'cd /opt/hostaway-mcp && docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f' # Stop server ssh root@your-app.hstgr.cloud 'cd /opt/hostaway-mcp && docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml down' ``` ### Monitoring ```bash # Check container status ssh root@your-app.hstgr.cloud 'docker ps' # Check container health ssh root@your-app.hstgr.cloud 'docker inspect --format="{{.State.Health.Status}}" hostaway-mcp-server' # View container stats ssh root@your-app.hstgr.cloud 'docker stats hostaway-mcp-server' ``` ### Troubleshooting ```bash # View full logs ssh root@your-app.hstgr.cloud 'cd /opt/hostaway-mcp && docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs' # Rebuild from scratch ssh root@your-app.hstgr.cloud 'cd /opt/hostaway-mcp && docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml down && docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d --build' # Access container shell ssh root@your-app.hstgr.cloud 'docker exec -it hostaway-mcp-server /bin/sh' ``` --- ## Verify Deployment Checklist - [ ] Container is running: `docker ps` shows "Up" status - [ ] Health check passes: `curl http://localhost:8080/health` returns healthy - [ ] MCP endpoint accessible: `curl http://localhost:8080/mcp` returns response - [ ] External access works: `curl http://YOUR_VPS_IP:8080/health` from local machine - [ ] Firewall allows port 8080: `ufw status` shows 8080/tcp allowed - [ ] Claude Desktop connects: MCP server shows "connected" status - [ ] Tools are available: Can see 9 MCP tools in Claude Desktop - [ ] Authentication works: Test a tool like `list_properties` --- ## Common Issues ### Issue: Container won't start ```bash # Check logs for errors docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs # Common fix: Rebuild without cache docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml down docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d --build --no-cache ``` ### Issue: Can't connect from Claude Desktop ```bash # 1. Check if port is open ssh root@your-app.hstgr.cloud 'netstat -tulpn | grep 8080' # 2. Verify external access curl http://YOUR_VPS_IP:8080/health # 3. Check firewall ssh root@your-app.hstgr.cloud 'ufw status' ``` ### Issue: Authentication fails ```bash # 1. Verify credentials in .env ssh root@your-app.hstgr.cloud 'cat /opt/hostaway-mcp/.env' # 2. Check logs for OAuth errors ssh root@your-app.hstgr.cloud 'cd /opt/hostaway-mcp && docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs | grep -i auth' # 3. Restart to pick up new credentials ssh root@your-app.hstgr.cloud 'cd /opt/hostaway-mcp && docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml restart' ``` --- ## Next Steps 1. **Set Up HTTPS** (Optional but recommended) - See: HOSTINGER_DEPLOYMENT.md → HTTPS Setup section - Use Nginx + Let's Encrypt for SSL 2. **Configure Monitoring** - Set up uptime monitoring (UptimeRobot, Pingdom) - Configure alerts for downtime 3. **Backup Strategy** - Regular .env backups - Container configuration backups - Log rotation setup 4. **Performance Tuning** - Monitor resource usage - Adjust MAX_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS if needed - Consider caching layer (Redis) --- ## Support - **Full Documentation**: See `HOSTINGER_DEPLOYMENT.md` - **Troubleshooting**: See `DEBUG_SUMMARY.md` - **Production Readiness**: See `PRODUCTION_READINESS_REPORT.md` --- **🎉 You're Done!** Your Hostaway MCP Server is now deployed on Hostinger and accessible remotely from Claude Desktop and other MCP clients.
