# Ship TODO

## Known Limitations

### Docker Container Port Assumption
**Current behavior:** Ship assumes Docker containers listen on port 80 internally.

**In:** `internal/templates/templates.go`:
```
-p 127.0.0.1:{{.Port}}:80
```

**Problem:** Containers that expose other ports (e.g., 8080, 3000) will not work.

**Workaround:** Ensure your Docker container listens on port 80, or manually edit the systemd unit after deployment.

**Potential fixes:**
1. Add `--container-port` flag to specify internal port
2. Auto-detect from Dockerfile `EXPOSE` directive
3. Support `PORT` env var in Docker containers (like binary deploys)

## Other TODOs

### ship host init doesn't create local state.json
**Problem:** After `ship host init`, the local `~/.config/ship/state.json` isn't created with the base_domain. Deploys fail with "HOST_NOT_CONFIGURED".

**Workaround:** Manually create `~/.config/ship/state.json`:
```json
{
  "default_host": "alaskav6",
  "hosts": {
    "alaskav6": {
      "next_port": 8001,
      "base_domain": "northwest.io",
      "apps": {}
    }
  }
}
```
