# Which Problems Are Solved
After merging #11968 and rechecking the dependabot alerts there are
still some issues leftover.
# How the Problems Are Solved
This pr makes overrides for vulnerable transitive depdencies to force
update to safe versions.
It also upgrades the next.js version in the docs and I also ran `pnpm
update` once more.
# Additional Changes
Removed the mochaawesome dependency is this is not really needed and
seems unmaintained.
# Additional Context
- Precursor: #11968
# Which Problems Are Solved
This pr updates major and minor dependencies and is the first step on
getting our dependabot alerts cut down.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Depedency updates across the board eg:
- Upgrade Angular to v21
- Upgrade next.js to v16.2
- Upgrade tailwind to v4 in the login
- Upgrade vitest to v4 in the login
This is an uncompleted list refer to the changed files for a full
overview of all the updates.
# Additional Changes
Migrated all control flow in the console to the modern control flow
syntax.
Fixed the dependsOn setting for the @zitadel/login:test-unit nx target.
# Additional Context
- Closes https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/11274

Replaces the single-file `docker-compose.yaml` quickstart with a
production-aware, Traefik-based compose pack in `deploy/compose/`. The
pack covers the full arc from a 2-minute localhost quickstart to a
hardened homelab or semi-production deployment.
### What's in the pack
**Stack**: Traefik (proxy) → ZITADEL API (Go `:8080`) + ZITADEL Login
(Next.js `:3000`) → PostgreSQL
All HTTP/gRPC routing is handled by Traefik via Docker labels — no
manual proxy config needed. The Login V2 UI is enabled by default. Login
URLs are derived automatically from `ZITADEL_DOMAIN`,
`ZITADEL_EXTERNALPORT`, and `ZITADEL_PUBLIC_SCHEME` — no separate URL
variables needed.
**Compose files**
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `docker-compose.yml` | Base stack — works standalone. Uses explicit
`name: zitadel` network for reliable Traefik service discovery. |
| `docker-compose.mode-letsencrypt.yml` | TLS overlay: ACME HTTP
challenge |
| `docker-compose.mode-external-tls.yml` | TLS overlay: upstream LB/CDN
terminates TLS. Uses `forwardedHeaders.trustedIPs` (configurable via
`TRAEFIK_TRUSTED_IPS`) instead of `insecure=true`. |
| `docker-compose.mode-local-tls.yml` | TLS overlay: self-signed certs
for LAN |
| `docker-compose.prodlike.yml` | Splits init / setup / start for
controlled upgrades |
| `docker-compose.test.yml` | CI overlay: swaps images to locally-built
`:local` tags |
**Optional profiles**: `cache` (Redis), `observability` (OpenTelemetry
Collector)
### Build infra
- New `@zitadel/api:pack` and `@zitadel/login:pack` Nx targets build
local Docker images (`zitadel/zitadel:local`,
`zitadel/zitadel-login:local`) for use in CI and local testing
- `apps/api/Dockerfile` now accepts a `BINARY` build arg so local and
release builds share the same image
### Testing
- New `@zitadel/compose` Nx project with targets: `test-config`
(validates all overlay combinations using `--quiet`), `test-run` (starts
full stack with local images), `test-e2e` (Playwright wiring + protocol
matrix tests through Traefik), `test-full` (end-to-end: build → start →
test → teardown), `stop`
- **`@zitadel/compose` is explicitly excluded from `nx affected` in CI
for now** — the full stack smoke test requires a Docker daemon and
significant resources. The intent is to add a dedicated
`compose_smoke_test` CI job in a follow-up. The targets can be run
locally with `pnpm nx run @zitadel/compose:test-full`.
### Documentation
- **`compose.mdx`**: Complete rewrite with a staged structure (Stage 1
Quickstart → Stage 2 Homelab → Stage 3 Beyond Compose). Documents TLS
modes, profiles, secrets hardening, ExternalDomain/Port/Secure
invariant, upgrades, and the path to Kubernetes
- **New `requirements.mdx`**: Lists supported PostgreSQL versions
(14–18), Redis (standalone), Docker Compose v2.x, and reverse proxy h2c
requirements
- **`reverse_proxy.mdx`**: Added intro covering h2c requirements, TLS
modes table, and Login UI routing split
- **`troubleshooting.mdx`**: New sections for container restarts on
upgrade, FIRSTINSTANCE env vars not taking effect, and diagnosing
unhealthy containers
- **`caddy/index.mdx`**: Known issue and workaround for the `TE:
trailers` header hang
- Removed the old
`apps/docs/content/self-hosting/deploy/docker-compose.yaml` embedded in
the docs
### Breaking change
The old `apps/docs/content/self-hosting/deploy/docker-compose.yaml` file
is deleted. The getting-started docs page
(`/self-hosting/deploy/compose`) now points to the new pack via a `curl
| tar` download command.

### Checklist
- [x] `deploy/compose/` smoke test passes end-to-end locally (`pnpm nx
run @zitadel/compose:test-full`)
- [x] Docs build passes (`pnpm nx run @zitadel/docs:build`)
- [ ] Follow-up issue created to add `compose_smoke_test` CI job
