+# power-compare-mcdowall
+
+Deploy-only repo for a second, fully independent instance of
+[power-compare](https://git.plexultra.com/dlawler489/power-compare), pointed
+at the McDowall plant instead of Kallangur.
+
+It has no source of its own -- it just pulls the same built image
+(`git.plexultra.com/dlawler489/power-compare:main`) and runs it with its own
+`.env`, its own database, and its own port (44597). A code change to
+power-compare only needs pushing there; redeploying this stack picks up the
+new image automatically.
+
+Setup for a fresh deploy:
+1. Deploy this stack via the stack manager.
+2. Create `/app/data/power-compare-mcdowall-persistent/.env` (as seen inside
+   the stack manager's own container) with the real config -- see
+   power-compare's `.env.example` for the shape. Use the same
+   `ISOLARCLOUD_APP_KEY` / `ISOLARCLOUD_APP_SECRET` / `ISOLARCLOUD_OAUTH_APP_ID`
+   as the Kallangur instance (same developer app registration, same
+   account) -- leave `ISOLARCLOUD_PLANT_ID` blank and pick McDowall from the
+   plant list in Settings after connecting, since one account can see both
+   plants. Set `POSTCODE` to McDowall's.
+3. Redeploy so the container picks up the `.env`.
+4. Open Settings, connect the OAuth flow (this instance has its own
+   database, so it needs its own one-time connect even though it's the same
+   account), and pick the McDowall plant from the list.
