Objective

This repo works but needs cleanup to be portfolio-ready. The Dockerfile and docker-compose exist but may be outdated. Docs are missing.

Current State

server.js — Express server with /process-template endpoint
Dockerfile + docker-compose.yml — exist, need review
package.json — present
No README, no .gitignore
.gitea/workflows/trigger-github.yml — old CI leftover from GitHub mirror, should be removed

Deliverables

1. Add `.gitignore`

node_modules/
.DS_Store
*.log
.env

2. Remove `.gitea/workflows/trigger-github.yml`

This was a GitHub Actions trigger from when this was a mirror. No longer relevant.

3. Review and update Dockerfile

Use node:20-alpine base
Multi-stage build if beneficial
Ensure it builds and runs correctly

4. Review and update `docker-compose.yml`

Sensible defaults for local dev
Health check if appropriate

5. Create `README.md`

Document:

What this service does (DOCX template processing via HTTP API)
API endpoint: POST /process-template
Request format (multipart: template file + data JSON field)
Response format
How to run locally (docker-compose up or npm start)
Environment variables (if any)

Git Setup

git clone https://gitea.netcups.al3dev.link/monkey-island/docxtemplater-server.git
cd docxtemplater-server
# ... make changes ...
git add -A && git commit -m "chore: clean up repo, add README and .gitignore" && git push

Use remote URL with token: https://otis:<GITEA_TOKEN>@gitea.netcups.al3dev.link/monkey-island/docxtemplater-server.git

The Gitea token is available in /root/.openclaw/workspace/.gitea-credentials.

Acceptance Criteria

.gitignore added
Old GitHub workflow removed
Dockerfile reviewed/updated
docker-compose.yml reviewed/updated
README.md with API docs
docker build . succeeds

When Done

Run: openclaw system event --text "Done: docxtemplater-server cleaned up in monkey-island/docxtemplater-server" --mode now
