 ## Key Features and Challenges
 
 -   Maintained session consistency with **Express Session** and **MongoDB**.
+
 -   Enabled real-time communication via **WebSocket** and **SocketIO**.
+
 -   Maintained code reliability by implementing unit and integration tests using **Mocha**, **Chai**, and **Jest**.
--   Hosted in a **Docker** container on **AWS EC2**.
--   Established CI/CD using **CircleCI**.
+
 -   Implemented E2E tests utilizing **Cypress**, addressing challenges related to [testing collaboration](https://docs.cypress.io/guides/references/trade-offs#Multiple-browsers-open-at-the-same-time) and canvas functionality in the application.
 
+-   Established a CI/CD pipeline using **CircleCI**, with pushing **Docker** container to **AWS ECR** and deploying to **AWS ECS**

+You’ve identified the Mongo volume that’s causing the auth issue.
+
+What this means
+local     mern-ludo_mongo_data
+
+
+This volume still exists, so Mongo is:
+
+reusing old, broken initialization
+
+not recreating the admin user
+
+continuing to fail authentication
+
+We now need to delete this volume so Mongo can initialize cleanly.
+
+✅ Do this EXACTLY (safe + correct)
+🔴 Step 1: Stop containers
+docker compose down
+
+🔴 Step 2: Remove the Mongo volume
+docker volume rm mern-ludo_mongo_data
+
+
+If Docker complains it’s in use, run:
+
+docker compose down -v
+
+
+(that removes volumes automatically)
+
+✅ Step 3: Confirm it’s gone
+docker volume ls | grep ludo
+
+
+👉 This should return nothing.
+
+✅ Step 4: Start ONLY Mongo first (important)
+docker compose up -d mongo
+
+
+Wait 10–15 seconds.
+
+Check logs:
+
+docker logs ludo-mongo --tail=30
+
+
+You should NOT see:
+
+bad file
+
+Unable to acquire security key
+
+crash/restart loops
+
+✅ Step 5: Test authentication (this MUST work)
+docker exec -it ludo-mongo mongosh -u admin -p adminpassword --authenticationDatabase admin
+
+
+If you get a > prompt → 🎉 auth is fixed
+
+✅ Step 6: Initialize replica set (ONCE)
+
+Inside mongosh:
+
+rs.initiate({
+  _id: "rs0",
+  members: [{ _id: 0, host: "mongo:27017" }]
+})
+
+
+Then:
+
+rs.status().members[0].stateStr
+
+
+Must be:
+
+"PRIMARY"
+
+✅ Step 7: Start the app
+docker compose up -d app
+
+
+(or just)
+
+docker compose up -d
+
+
+Then:
+
+docker restart mern-ludo-app
+
+🎯 Expected final result
+Mongo
+
+Auth works
+

+
+No errors in logs
+
+Backend
+MongoDB connected
+Server listening on port 18081
+
+Browser
+
+App loads
+
+No crashes
+
+No noscript / auth errors
+
+🧾 One-line status
+
+The Mongo volume still existed; deleting it allows Mongo to create the admin user correctly.
+
+Once Step 5 succeeds, you are fully unblocked.
+Run Step 2 now and tell me when mongosh login works 👍
+
+
+You’re very close, and the remaining issue is not random.
+
+What the two messages really mean (important)
+1️⃣ These messages are NOT the main problem ❌
+Collection [local.oplog.rs] not found
+ReadConcernMajorityNotAvailableYet
+
+
+These appear when:
+
+replica set is not initiated yet
+
+PRIMARY is not elected yet
+
+They are expected noise before rs.initiate() succeeds.
+
+👉 We’ll fix them automatically once the replica set is initialized.
+
+2️⃣ THIS is the real blocker 🔴
+MongoServerError: Authentication failed
+
+
+This means 100%:
+
+🔐 MongoDB is running with authentication enabled,
+❌ but the admin user does not exist.
+
+This is why:
+
+backend can’t connect
+
+mongosh -u admin fails
+
+oplog can’t be created
+
+replica set can’t complete
+
+Why the admin user does NOT exist (root cause)
+
+Mongo creates the root user only once, on first successful startup, when:
+
+/data/db is empty
+
+Mongo reaches a stable running state
+
+Earlier, Mongo:
+
+crashed due to keyFile issues
+
+restarted several times
+
+skipped user creation
+
+but auth stayed enabled
+
+Result:
+
+Mongo requires auth, but no users exist → permanent auth failure
+
+This is a classic Mongo + replica set + keyFile edge case.
+
+✅ The ONLY correct fix (clean & guaranteed)
+
+We must let Mongo start once without auth, create the user manually, then re-enable auth.
+
+This is the official MongoDB recovery method.
+
+🔥 DO THIS STEP-BY-STEP (no skipping)
+STEP 1️⃣ Stop everything
+docker compose down
+
+STEP 2️⃣ Temporarily DISABLE auth (Mongo only)
+
+Edit docker-compose.yml mongo service:
+
+🔴 TEMPORARY CHANGE
+
+Comment out these lines for now:
+
+# environment:
+#   MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: admin
+#   MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: adminpassword
+
+
+And change the command to NO keyFile, NO auth:
+
+command:
+  - mongod
+  - --replSet
+  - rs0
+  - --bind_ip_all
+
+
+(Leave volumes as-is.)
+
+STEP 3️⃣ Start Mongo only
+docker compose up -d mongo
+
+
+Wait ~10 seconds.
+
+STEP 4️⃣ Connect WITHOUT auth (this must work)
+docker exec -it ludo-mongo mongosh
+
+
+If you get a prompt → good.
+
+STEP 5️⃣ Create admin user MANUALLY
+
+Inside mongosh:
+
+use admin
+db.createUser({
+  user: "admin",
+  pwd: "adminpassword",
+  roles: [ { role: "root", db: "admin" } ]
+})
+
+
+You must see:
+
+{ ok: 1 }
+
+STEP 6️⃣ Initialize replica set (NOW it will work)
+rs.initiate({
+  _id: "rs0",
+  members: [{ _id: 0, host: "mongo:27017" }]
+})
+
+
+Wait ~5–10 seconds, then:
+
+rs.status().members[0].stateStr
+
+
+Must be:
+
+"PRIMARY"
+
+
+Exit mongosh:
+
+exit
+
+STEP 7️⃣ Re-enable auth + keyFile (FINAL config)
+
+Restore your correct mongo config:
+
+environment:
+  MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: admin
+  MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: adminpassword
+
+command:
+  - bash
+  - -c
+  - |
+    cp /tmp/mongo-keyfile /data/db/keyfile &&
+    chown mongodb:mongodb /data/db/keyfile &&
+    chmod 400 /data/db/keyfile &&
+    exec mongod --replSet rs0 --keyFile /data/db/keyfile --bind_ip_all
+
+STEP 8️⃣ Restart clean
+docker compose down
+docker compose up -d
+
+STEP 9️⃣ Test auth (this WILL work now)
+docker exec -it ludo-mongo mongosh -u admin -p adminpassword --authenticationDatabase admin
+
+STEP 🔟 Start / restart backend
+docker restart mern-ludo-app
+
+✅ What you should see now
+Mongo
+
+Auth works
+
+PRIMARY elected
+
+local.oplog.rs exists
+
+No auth errors
+
+Backend
+MongoDB connected
+Server listening on port 18081
+
+App
+
+Loads normally
+
+No crashes
+
+Change Streams work
+
+🧠 One-line final diagnosis
+
+MongoDB authentication was enabled before any user existed; manual user creation was required to recover.
+
+This is the last MongoDB trap — once done, you will not hit this again.
+
+MongoServerError[NotWritablePrimary]: not primary
+
+Perfect — that error is expected at this exact moment, and it tells us precisely what to do next 👍
+You didn’t break anything.
+
+What this error means (very clear)
+MongoServerError[NotWritablePrimary]: not primary
+
+
+This means:
+
+MongoDB is running as a replica set member,
+but no PRIMARY has been elected yet.
+
+Until a node becomes PRIMARY:
+
+❌ you cannot create users
+
+❌ you cannot write data
+
+❌ db.createUser() will fail
+
+So this is not an auth issue anymore.
+
+✅ Correct order (important)
+
+When running Mongo as a replica set, the order must be:
+
+Start Mongo
+
+Initiate replica set
+
+Wait until PRIMARY
+
+Create users
+
+Enable auth (already planned)
+
+Right now, you’re at step 2½.
+
+✅ DO THIS NOW (inside mongosh)
+
+You are already connected with:
+
+docker exec -it ludo-mongo mongosh
+
+
+At the > prompt, run THIS FIRST 👇
+
+🔥 Step 1: Initiate replica set
+rs.initiate({
+  _id: "rs0",
+  members: [
+    { _id: 0, host: "mongo:27017" }
+  ]
+})
+
+Expected output
+{ ok: 1 }
+
+🔥 Step 2: Wait a few seconds, then verify PRIMARY
+rs.status().members[0].stateStr
+
+
+You must see:
+
+"PRIMARY"
+
+
+If it still says STARTUP or SECONDARY, wait 5 seconds and run again.
+
+✅ ONLY AFTER PRIMARY → create admin user
+
+Now run:
+
+use admin
+
+db.createUser({
+  user: "admin",
+  pwd: "adminpassword",
+  roles: [ { role: "root", db: "admin" } ]
+})
+
+Expected:
+{ ok: 1 }
+
+🧠 Why this happened (important lesson)
+
+You started Mongo with:
+
+mongod --replSet rs0
+
+
+That automatically puts Mongo into replica set mode, but:
+
+replica set is inactive
+
+no PRIMARY exists yet
+
+Mongo rejects all writes until a PRIMARY is elected.
+
+This is correct MongoDB behavior.
+
+✅ After user creation (next steps preview)
+
+Once { ok: 1 } appears:
+
+Exit mongosh:
+
+exit
+
+
+Re-enable auth + keyFile in docker-compose (as discussed)
+
+Restart containers
+
+Verify:
+
+docker exec -it ludo-mongo mongosh -u admin -p adminpassword --authenticationDatabase admin
+
+🎯 One-line status update
+
+MongoDB is in replica-set mode but not PRIMARY yet — initialize the replica set first.
+
+👉 Action for you now
+
+Run rs.initiate(...), wait for PRIMARY, then retry db.createUser.
+
+Tell me what rs.status().members[0].stateStr prints, and we’ll finish this cleanly 💪

+```
+
+Step 2️⃣ Recreate keyfile cleanly (one last time)
+cd ~/mern-ludo
+rm -f mongo-keyfile
+openssl rand -base64 756 > mongo-keyfile
+chmod 400 mongo-keyfile
+
+
+Verify:
+
+wc -c mongo-keyfile
+
+Step 3️⃣ Full reset (MANDATORY)
+docker compose down -v
+docker compose up -d --build
+
+
+Wait ~10 seconds.
+
+Step 4️⃣ Confirm Mongo is RUNNING (not restarting)
+docker ps
+
+
+You should NOT see Restarting.
+
+Step 5️⃣ Now exec WILL work
+docker exec -it ludo-mongo mongosh -u admin -p adminpassword --authenticationDatabase admin
+
+
+If you get a shell → 🎉 Mongo is fixed
+
+Step 6️⃣ Initialize replica set (ONCE)
+rs.initiate({
+  _id: "rs0",
+  members: [{ _id: 0, host: "mongo:27017" }]
+})
+
+
+Check:
+
+rs.status().members[0].stateStr
+// PRIMARY
+
+Step 7️⃣ Restart app
+docker restart mern-ludo-app
+
+
+Your Change Stream error will now be gone permanently.
+
+🧠 Why ALL previous attempts failed
+Attempt	Why it failed
+Bind mount keyfile	Ownership mismatch
+chmod 400 only	Not enough
+DietPi ARM	Stricter FS behavior
+Mongo 7	Enforces keyfile rules hard
+
+This copy + chown pattern solves all of them.
+
+✅ One-line final diagnosis
+
+MongoDB rejected the keyfile because bind-mounted files keep host ownership, and Mongo runs as a non-root user.
