Rewrite the root README as a short, non-technical project overview
CI / backend (push) Successful in 1m3s
CI / frontend (push) Successful in 42s

The old file was a confusing mix of eras: an accurate current
Windows/Rocky/VPS environment section sitting alongside stale leftovers
from before this project's current setup existed -- a wrong port (9090,
staging is actually 9190), old docker-compose v1 syntax, a podman-compose
three-terminal dev loop nobody uses, an nginx config for laikazinas.lsm.lv
(the real current LSM production site, unrelated to and confusable with
this project's actual temporary test domain), Fly.io commands from a
hosting platform no longer in use, and an example command that happens to
run one of the files this session's security review flagged as a
mislabeled test script capable of touching a live database.

Replaced with a short landing page: what the tool does, how it's built,
current status (Rocky-only development now that Windows is retired from
the workflow, laikapstak.li as the temporary test environment ahead of
eventually replacing the live laikazinas.lsm.lv service), and a security
summary -- all pointing to docs/ for actual technical depth rather than
duplicating half-true instructions. Updated docs/README.md's own
description of the root README to match.

# Weather Tool
# WeatherTool
Tool for downloading historical and real-time data from weather stations in Latvia. It aggregates and displays data for different time periods, cities, and weather parameters.
WeatherTool prepares the weather graphics used on air: current temperatures,
water temperatures, and severe-weather warnings, rendered as fixed-size PNG
exports ready to drop into a broadcast. It's a large update to the tool
currently running in production at `laikazinas.lsm.lv`.
## Setup
Rename `.env-sample` to `.env` and fill in credentials
## What it does
## Environment boundary
- Pulls real observation data from LVĢMC (Latvia's national weather
service) — current station temperatures, water temperatures, and active
warnings — from their public open-data feed.
- Lets an operator review and, where needed, correct individual values
before export, without touching the underlying data.
- Renders that data onto fixed newsroom map templates and exports
broadcast-ready PNGs at the station's required resolutions.
- Also includes analytical tools (historical station comparisons, a full
data archive) for exploring the underlying weather data beyond what goes
on air.
- **Windows:** source editing, review, and Git operations only. Do not compile, build, run containers, install project dependencies, or test the application here.
- **Rocky Linux:** the only development runtime; compile, build, run, seed, and test WeatherTool here.
- **Ubuntu VPS:** deployment target only. It receives the reviewed release artifact built and verified on Rocky; it is not a development or build host.
## How it's built
## Run
```
docker-compose up --build --no-cache --force-recreate
```
A Scala backend (cats-effect, http4s, PostgreSQL) ingests and serves the
data; a SolidJS frontend is where operators build the graphics. Both are
described in full under [`docs/`](docs/README.md).
## Web
[http://0.0.0.0:9090/](http://0.0.0.0:9090/)
## Status
## nginx proxy config
```
server {
listen 80;
server_name laikazinas.lsm.lv;
Actively in development. All development, testing, and staging currently
happens on a single Rocky Linux machine; a temporary public test
environment for the new version is at `laikapstak.li`, gated behind
authentication, separate from the live `laikazinas.lsm.lv` service it will
eventually replace. Continuous integration runs automatically on every
push via Gitea Actions.
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:9090; # Forward requests to the Scala app
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
}
```
## Security
## Rocky development runtime
```
// 1st terminal
podman-compose up postgres
The application has been through an independent security review, with
findings (including a critical one) found and fixed — see
[`docs/UPDATE_ROADMAP.md`](docs/UPDATE_ROADMAP.md) for the full history.
The public test environment sits behind Cloudflare, an authentication
gate, and a private database with no public port. Deployments are manual,
checksummed, and smoke-tested before going live — see
[`docs/VPS_RELEASE_RUNBOOK.md`](docs/VPS_RELEASE_RUNBOOK.md).
// 2nd terminal
sbt run
## Getting started
// 3rd terminal
cd web/
npm run dev
```
Run one file
```sbt "runMain grib.GribParserTest"```
## Backend Tech:
- scala: cats-effects, http4s, fs2, circe, scalatest
- postgres
## Frontend Tech:
- SolidJS
- Vite
## Fly commands
```
// suspend instance
fly scale count 0
```
```
// check display
fly ssh console
df -h
```
```
fly scale memory 512
```
See [`docs/README.md`](docs/README.md) for current status, architecture,
and the full documentation set, and [`docs/DEVELOPMENT_AND_STAGING.md`](docs/DEVELOPMENT_AND_STAGING.md)
for exact build, run, and deployment commands. For local setup, copy
`.env-sample` to `.env` and fill in real values.
