maziggy bd19a8ccb4 docs(install): polish Windows section + Service/Update/Troubleshooting
entries

  PR #1529 added the Windows installer but the rendered README sections
  had a stray blank line inside the install one-liner's code fence and
  the cross-platform Service Management / Updating / Troubleshooting
  sections still only covered Linux + macOS + Docker. Fold in Windows
  entries (Start-Service, Get-NetTCPConnection, NSSM runtime log path)
  and link the README description to the Windows Installer wiki page so
  users know where the parameter reference and unattended examples live.

# BamBuddy Installation Scripts
Interactive installation scripts for BamBuddy with support for both native and Docker deployments.
## Quick Start
### Docker Installation (Recommended)
**Linux/macOS:**
```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maziggy/bambuddy/main/install/docker-install.sh -o docker-install.sh && chmod +x docker-install.sh && ./docker-install.sh
```
**Windows (Command Prompt or PowerShell):**
```cmd
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maziggy/bambuddy/main/install/docker-install.ps1 -OutFile docker-install.ps1; .\docker-install.ps1"
```
> Requires Docker Desktop running. Printer auto-discovery is unavailable in Docker Desktop — add printers manually by IP.
### Native Installation
**Linux/macOS:**
```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maziggy/bambuddy/main/install/install.sh -o install.sh && chmod +x install.sh && ./install.sh
```
### Windows Native Installation
**Windows PowerShell:**
```powershell
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maziggy/bambuddy/main/install/windows-installer.ps1 -OutFile windows-installer.ps1; .\windows-installer.ps1"
```
**Unattended:**
```powershell
.\windows-installer.ps1 -InstallDir C:\Bambuddy -Port 8000 -Yes
```

## Scripts Overview
| Script | Platform | Method |
|--------|----------|--------|
| `install.sh` | Linux, macOS | Native (Python venv) |
| `docker-install.sh` | Linux, macOS | Docker |
| `docker-install.ps1` | Windows (Docker Desktop) | Docker |
| `windows-installer.ps1` | Windows (Native) | Windows Service |
| `update.sh` | Linux (systemd) | Native update helper |
---
## Native Installation Scripts
### `install.sh` (Linux/macOS)
Installs BamBuddy with Python virtual environment and optional systemd/launchd service.
**Supported Systems:**
- Debian/Ubuntu (apt)
- RHEL/Fedora/CentOS (dnf/yum)
- Arch Linux (pacman)
- openSUSE (zypper)
- macOS (Homebrew)
**Options:**
```
--path PATH Installation directory (default: /opt/bambuddy)
--port PORT Port to listen on (default: 8000)
--tz TIMEZONE Timezone (default: system timezone)
--data-dir PATH Data directory (default: INSTALL_PATH/data)
--log-dir PATH Log directory (default: INSTALL_PATH/logs)
--debug Enable debug mode
--log-level LEVEL Log level: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR (default: INFO)
--no-service Skip systemd/launchd service setup
--yes, -y Non-interactive mode, accept defaults
```
**Examples:**
```bash
# Interactive installation
./install.sh
# Unattended with custom settings
./install.sh --path /srv/bambuddy --port 3000 --tz America/New_York --yes
# Minimal unattended
./install.sh -y
# Skip service setup
./install.sh --no-service -y
```
### `windows-installer.ps1` (Windows)
Windows PowerShell (run as Administrator — the installer self-elevates via UAC if not):
```powershell
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maziggy/bambuddy/main/install/windows-installer.ps1 -OutFile windows-installer.ps1; .\windows-installer.ps1"
```
> Installs Bambuddy natively on Windows using Git, Python, a virtual environment, and optional NSSM Windows Service registration. See the [Windows Installer Guide](https://wiki.bambuddy.cool/getting-started/windows-installer/) for full parameter reference.
**Parameters:**
```powershell
-InstallDir PATH Installation directory (default: C:\Bambuddy)
-Port PORT Port to listen on (default: 8000)
-Yes Non-interactive mode, accept defaults
-Silent Non-interactive mode with reduced console output
-NoService Skip Windows Service setup
-NoStart Do not start Bambuddy at the end
-LocalOnly Bind to 127.0.0.1 instead of all LAN interfaces
```
The installer stores the Git checkout in `INSTALL_DIR\bambuddy`, user data in
`INSTALL_DIR\data`, and application logs in `INSTALL_DIR\logs` so updates and
re-clones do not delete runtime data. If an earlier Windows installer run left
runtime data in the Git checkout, the installer moves known data and log paths
to the new locations before starting Bambuddy.
---
## Docker Installation Scripts
### `docker-install.sh` (Linux/macOS)
Installs BamBuddy using Docker containers.
**Options:**
```
--path PATH Installation directory (default: ~/bambuddy)
--port PORT Port to expose (default: 8000)
--tz TIMEZONE Timezone (default: system timezone)
--build Build from source instead of using pre-built image
--yes, -y Non-interactive mode, accept defaults
```
**Examples:**
```bash
# Interactive installation
./docker-install.sh
# Unattended with custom settings
./docker-install.sh --path /srv/bambuddy --port 3000 --tz Europe/Berlin --yes
# Build from source
./docker-install.sh --build --yes
```
### `docker-install.ps1` (Windows)
PowerShell mirror of `docker-install.sh` for Windows + Docker Desktop. Verifies
Docker Desktop is running, downloads `docker-compose.yml`, rewrites it to use
port mappings instead of host networking (Docker Desktop doesn't support host
networking), and starts the container.
**Requirements:**
- Docker Desktop installed and running ([download](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop))
- PowerShell 5.1+ (ships with Windows 10/11) or PowerShell 7+
**Parameters:**
```
-InstallPath PATH Installation directory (default: %USERPROFILE%\bambuddy)
-Port PORT Port to expose (default: 8000)
-TimeZone TZ IANA timezone (default: derived from Get-TimeZone or UTC)
-Build Build from source instead of pulling pre-built image
-Yes Non-interactive mode, accept defaults
-Help Show full help (Get-Help)
```
**Examples:**
```powershell
# Interactive
.\docker-install.ps1
# Unattended
.\docker-install.ps1 -InstallPath C:\bambuddy -Port 8080 -TimeZone Europe/Berlin -Yes
# Build from source
.\docker-install.ps1 -Build -Yes
```
> **Limitations on Windows / Docker Desktop:** Printer auto-discovery (SSDP)
> does not work — add printers manually by IP. The Virtual Printer feature
> requires manually uncommenting the relevant port mappings in
> `docker-compose.yml` (the script leaves them commented because most users
> don't need them).
---
## Configuration Options
All scripts support these configuration options:
| Option | Description | Default |
|--------|-------------|---------|
| Install Path | Where BamBuddy is installed | `/opt/bambuddy` (Linux/Docker) |
| Port | HTTP port for web interface | `8000` |
| Timezone | Server timezone | System timezone or `UTC` |
| Data Directory | Database and archives | `INSTALL_PATH/data` |
| Log Directory | Application logs | `INSTALL_PATH/logs` |
| Debug Mode | Enable verbose logging | `false` |
| Log Level | INFO, WARNING, ERROR, DEBUG | `INFO` |
---
## Post-Installation
### Accessing BamBuddy
After installation, open your browser to:
```
http://localhost:8000
```
Or use the port you specified during installation.
### Service Management
**Linux (systemd):**
```bash
sudo systemctl status bambuddy # Check status
sudo systemctl start bambuddy # Start
sudo systemctl stop bambuddy # Stop
sudo systemctl restart bambuddy # Restart
sudo journalctl -u bambuddy -f # View logs
```
**macOS (launchd):**
```bash
launchctl list | grep bambuddy # Check status
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.bambuddy.app.plist # Start
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.bambuddy.app.plist # Stop
```
**Windows (NSSM service):**
```powershell
Get-Service Bambuddy # Check status
Start-Service Bambuddy # Start
Stop-Service Bambuddy # Stop
Restart-Service Bambuddy # Restart
Get-Content "C:\Bambuddy\bambuddy-runtime.log" -Tail 100 -Wait # View logs
```
**Docker:**
```bash
docker compose ps # Check status
docker compose up -d # Start
docker compose down # Stop
docker compose restart # Restart
docker compose logs -f # View logs
```
### Updating
**Native installation:**
```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maziggy/bambuddy/main/install/update.sh -o update.sh
chmod +x update.sh
sudo ./update.sh
```
The updater performs:
- Root permission check (fails fast before any work)
- Optional built-in backup API call (`/api/v1/settings/backup`) before update
- Keeps only the newest 5 local backup ZIP files
- Local-change warning + confirmation before `git reset --hard`
- If remote has no new commits, updater exits early without stopping the service
- Service stop/start with code rollback + service restart attempt if update fails
Useful environment overrides:
```bash
# Typical native install defaults
INSTALL_DIR=/opt/bambuddy SERVICE_NAME=bambuddy sudo ./update.sh
# Require backup to succeed (abort update if backup fails)
BACKUP_MODE=require sudo ./update.sh
# Skip backup API call
BACKUP_MODE=skip sudo ./update.sh
# Auth-enabled instances: provide API key for backup endpoint
BAMBUDDY_API_KEY=bb_xxx BACKUP_MODE=require sudo ./update.sh
```
**Docker (pre-built image):**
```bash
cd ~/bambuddy
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
```
**Docker (from source):**
```bash
cd ~/bambuddy
git pull
docker compose up -d --build
```
**Windows (native):** rerun the installer; it detects the existing checkout and offers `git pull`, leaving `INSTALL_DIR\data` and `INSTALL_DIR\logs` untouched. Stop the service first if it is registered:
```powershell
Stop-Service Bambuddy
.\windows-installer.ps1 -Yes
Start-Service Bambuddy
```
---
## Troubleshooting
### Permission Denied (Linux)
Run with `sudo` or ensure your user has appropriate permissions:
```bash
sudo ./install.sh
```
### Docker: Printer Discovery Not Working
Docker Desktop for macOS doesn't support host networking. Add printers manually by IP address in the BamBuddy web interface.
### Service Won't Start
Check logs for errors:
```bash
# Linux
sudo journalctl -u bambuddy -n 50
# Docker
docker compose logs bambuddy
```
### Port Already in Use
Choose a different port during installation or stop the conflicting service:
```bash
# Find what's using port 8000
sudo lsof -i :8000 # Linux/macOS
```
```powershell
# Windows
Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 8000 -State Listen
```
### Windows: Service Won't Start
Test the start script manually first:
```powershell
powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "C:\Bambuddy\Start-Bambuddy.ps1"
```
Then check the NSSM runtime logs:
```powershell
Get-Content "C:\Bambuddy\bambuddy-runtime-error.log" -Tail 100
```
