Deviation = Weight - Target

Negative = under target, positive = over target.

First, SSH in as root:

ssh root@<vultr-ip>

Then create the admin user:

useradd -m -s /bin/bash -G sudo admin
read -rsp "Enter password for admin: " ADMIN_PASS && echo
echo "admin:$ADMIN_PASS" | chpasswd

Before running the setup script, add a DNS A record for zm233apitest.scaledata.net pointing to your server's IP in your DNS provider.

One command does everything — installs packages, clones the repo, gets SSL certs, builds, and starts the service:

apt update && apt install -y git
git clone https://github.com/GTMichelli-Dev/Api233Test.git ~/Api233Test
cd ~/Api233Test
bash deploy/server-setup.sh <vultr-ip>

Or if you already have the repo cloned:

cd ~/Api233Test
git pull
bash deploy/server-setup.sh <vultr-ip>

This installs:

• Git, Nginx, Certbot, .NET 8 SDK
• Two Let's Encrypt certs:
  • ECDSA on P-256 / secp256r1 (E8 chain) — for modern browsers and mbedTLS clients
  • RSA (R12 chain) — for embedded PLC clients like your AWTX controller
• Builds and publishes the app to /var/www/scaleapi
• Starts the scaleapi systemd service

If the server already has an ECDSA cert on a different curve (e.g. P-384), mbedTLS clients will fail with Elliptic curve is unsupported (only NIST curves are supported). Re-issue the cert on P-256 with --force-renewal:

certbot certonly --nginx \
    --non-interactive --agree-tos --email <your-email> \
    -d zm233apitest.scaledata.net \
    --cert-name zm233apitest.scaledata.net-ecdsa \
    --key-type ecdsa \
    --elliptic-curve secp256r1 \
    --force-renewal

systemctl reload nginx

./deploy/deploy.sh

Builds, rsync's, restarts the service. ~15 seconds.

The IScaleStore interface is the only thing that needs changing.
Replace ScaleStore with an EF Core / Dapper implementation — Program.cs registration is one line:

// builder.Services.AddSingleton<IScaleStore, ScaleStore>();
builder.Services.AddScoped<IScaleStore, SqlScaleStore>();
