End-to-End Recipes

Purpose

This section collects complete, production-like example walkthroughs based on the shipped cellmgr manifests in /usr/share/examples/cellmgr.

Each deep dive explains:

• stack topology and service roles
• manifest structure (*.cell, *.apply, *.volume)
• dependency modeling with CELL_DEPENDS_ON
• persistence modeling with CELL_VOLUME_MOUNTS and *.volume
• step-by-step deployment and verification

Deep dives

• MantisBT End-to-End Example
• Luanti Game Server End-to-End Example
• PHP API End-to-End Example
• API Gateway End-to-End Example

Recommended reading order

1. MantisBT End-to-End Example
2. PHP API End-to-End Example
3. API Gateway End-to-End Example
4. Luanti Game Server End-to-End Example

This progression moves from multi-tier stateful web app, to small two-tier app, to fan-out gateway pattern, and finally to a stateful game workload with explicit rlimits.
