+# JobSync
+
+Self-hosted job application tracker. Tracks job applications, automates job searching via the JSearch API, and provides AI-powered resume tailoring via [[ollama|Ollama]].

+- **Framework:** Next.js 15 + Prisma ORM

+- **Auth:** Local email/password accounts (NextAuth v5), no SSO
+- **AI:** Ollama at `http://ollama.ollama.svc.cluster.local:11434` for resume tailoring
+- **Job Search:** JSearch API via RapidAPI (requires `RAPIDAPI_KEY`)
+
+## Job Search (JSearch / RapidAPI)
+
+The automated job search feature uses the [JSearch API](https://rapidapi.com/letscrape-6bRBa3QguO5/api/jsearch) on RapidAPI. The API key can be configured two ways (checked in order):
+
+1. **Per-user:** Added via Settings > API Keys in the web UI (encrypted with `ENCRYPTION_KEY`)
+2. **Environment variable:** `RAPIDAPI_KEY` env var as a fallback for all users
+
+Without either, job search automations fail with: `Search failed: network - RAPIDAPI_KEY is not configured`
+
+The free tier allows 200 requests/month. The key is stored in 1Password ("JobSync" item, `rapidapi_key` field) and synced via ExternalSecret.
+
+## Secrets
+
+All secrets are in the **JobSync** 1Password item (blumeops vault), synced by ExternalSecret:
+
+| Secret | 1Password Field | Purpose |
+|--------|-----------------|---------|
+| `auth_secret` | `auth_secret` | NextAuth session signing |
+| `encryption_key` | `encryption_key` | AES-256-GCM for stored API keys |
+| `rapidapi_key` | `rapidapi_key` | JSearch job search API |
+
+## Observability
+
+JobSync has no metrics endpoint or Grafana dashboard. Logs are collected by [[alloy|Alloy]] on ringtail and shipped to Loki on indri.
+
+**Querying logs in Grafana:**
+
+```logql
+{namespace="jobsync", app="jobsync"}
+```
+
+To search for job search errors specifically:
+
+```logql
+{namespace="jobsync", app="jobsync"} |~ "(?i)(rapid|search failed|error)"
+```
+
+The app runs a scheduled job search daily at 4 AM. Failures appear in logs during those executions.
+
+## Container
+
+Built with Nix on ringtail (x86_64). See [[build-jobsync-container]] for details.
+
+```fish
+mise run container-release jobsync <version>
+```
+
+Update `newTag` in `argocd/manifests/jobsync/kustomization.yaml` after building, then `argocd app sync jobsync`.
