+# Caddy Setup for VoxBlog (Multi-App VPS)
+
+## Why Caddy is Great! 🎉
+
+✅ **Automatic HTTPS** - SSL certificates managed automatically  
+✅ **Simple config** - Much easier than Nginx  
+✅ **Auto-renewal** - Certificates renew automatically  
+✅ **Modern** - HTTP/2, HTTP/3 support built-in  
+
+## Quick Setup (3 Steps!)
+
+### 1. Configure DNS
+
+Add DNS record:
+```
+A Record: voxblog.yourdomain.com → your-vps-ip
+```
+
+### 2. Add to Your Caddyfile
+
+On your VPS, edit your existing Caddyfile:
+
+```bash
+sudo nano /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
+```
+
+Add this configuration (from the `Caddyfile` in this repo):
+
+```caddy
+admin.pusula.blog {
+    # Frontend
+    handle / {
+        reverse_proxy localhost:3000
+    }
+
+    # API
+    handle /api* {
+        reverse_proxy localhost:3001
+    }
+
+    encode gzip
+
+    header {
+        X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN"
+        X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff"
+        X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block"
+    }
+
+    log {
+        output file /var/log/caddy/voxblog-access.log
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Important**: Replace `voxblog.yourdomain.com` with your actual domain!
+
+### 3. Reload Caddy
+
+```bash
+# Test configuration
+sudo caddy validate --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
+
+# Reload Caddy
+sudo systemctl reload caddy
+
+# Check status
+sudo systemctl status caddy
+```
+
+### 4. Update .env on VPS
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/voxblog
+nano .env
+```
+
+Add:
+```bash
+VITE_API_URL=https://voxblog.yourdomain.com/api
+```
+
+### 5. Deploy
+
+```bash
+./deploy.sh
+```
+
+## That's It! 🎉
+
+Caddy will automatically:
+- ✅ Get SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt
+- ✅ Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
+- ✅ Renew certificates automatically
+- ✅ Handle HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
+
+## Access Your App
+
+- **Frontend**: `https://voxblog.yourdomain.com`
+- **API**: `https://voxblog.yourdomain.com/api`
+
+## Your Existing Apps
+
+Your Caddyfile probably looks like this:
+
+```caddy
+# Existing app 1
+app1.yourdomain.com {
+    reverse_proxy localhost:4000
+}
+
+# Existing app 2
+app2.yourdomain.com {
+    reverse_proxy localhost:5000
+}
+
+# Add VoxBlog
+voxblog.yourdomain.com {
+    handle / {
+        reverse_proxy localhost:3000
+    }
+    handle /api* {
+        reverse_proxy localhost:3001
+    }
+    encode gzip
+}
+```
+
+All apps coexist perfectly! 🚀
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Check Caddy Status
+```bash
+sudo systemctl status caddy
+```
+
+### View Caddy Logs
+```bash
+sudo journalctl -u caddy -f
+sudo tail -f /var/log/caddy/voxblog-access.log
+```
+
+### Test Configuration
+```bash
+sudo caddy validate --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
+```
+
+### Reload After Changes
+```bash
+sudo systemctl reload caddy
+```
+
+### Check if Ports are Accessible
+```bash
+# From VPS (should work)
+curl http://localhost:3000
+curl http://localhost:3001/health
+
+# From internet (should work via domain)
+curl https://voxblog.yourdomain.com
+curl https://voxblog.yourdomain.com/api/health
+```
+
+### 502 Bad Gateway
+
+```bash
+# Check if containers are running
+docker-compose ps
+
+# Check if ports are accessible
+curl http://localhost:3000
+curl http://localhost:3001/health
+
+# Check Caddy logs
+sudo journalctl -u caddy -f
+```
+
+### Certificate Issues
+
+Caddy handles this automatically, but if you have issues:
+
+```bash
+# Check Caddy logs for certificate errors
+sudo journalctl -u caddy | grep -i cert
+
+# Make sure port 443 is open
+sudo ufw status
+
+# Restart Caddy
+sudo systemctl restart caddy
+```
+
+## Advanced: Separate Subdomains
+
+If you prefer separate subdomains for frontend and API:
+
+```caddy
+# Frontend
+voxblog.yourdomain.com {
+    reverse_proxy localhost:3000
+    encode gzip
+}
+
+# API
+api.voxblog.yourdomain.com {
+    reverse_proxy localhost:3001
+    encode gzip
+}
+```
+
+Then update `.env`:
+```bash
+VITE_API_URL=https://api.voxblog.yourdomain.com
+```
+
+## Caddy vs Nginx
+
+| Feature | Caddy | Nginx |
+|---------|-------|-------|
+| SSL Setup | Automatic ✅ | Manual (certbot) |
+| Config | Simple ✅ | Complex |
+| HTTP/3 | Built-in ✅ | Requires module |
+| Cert Renewal | Automatic ✅ | Cron job needed |
+| Learning Curve | Easy ✅ | Steep |
+
+**Caddy is perfect for your use case!** 🎉
+
+## Complete Example Caddyfile
+
+```caddy
+# Global options
+{
+    email your-email@example.com
+}
+
+# Existing apps
+app1.yourdomain.com {
+    reverse_proxy localhost:4000
+}
+
+app2.yourdomain.com {
+    reverse_proxy localhost:5000
+}
+
+# VoxBlog
+voxblog.yourdomain.com {
+    # Frontend
+    handle / {
+        reverse_proxy localhost:3000
+    }
+
+    # API with long timeout for AI streaming
+    handle /api* {
+        reverse_proxy localhost:3001 {
+            transport http {
+                read_timeout 600s
+                write_timeout 600s
+            }
+        }
+    }
+
+    encode gzip
+
+    header {
+        X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN"
+        X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff"
+        X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block"
+        Referrer-Policy "strict-origin-when-cross-origin"
+    }
+
+    log {
+        output file /var/log/caddy/voxblog-access.log {
+            roll_size 100mb
+            roll_keep 5
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+```bash
+# Validate config
+sudo caddy validate --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
+
+# Reload Caddy
+sudo systemctl reload caddy
+
+# Restart Caddy
+sudo systemctl restart caddy
+
+# Check status
+sudo systemctl status caddy
+
+# View logs
+sudo journalctl -u caddy -f
+
+# View access logs
+sudo tail -f /var/log/caddy/voxblog-access.log
+```
+
+## Benefits for Multi-App VPS
+
+✅ **Simple** - Just add a new block for each app  
+✅ **Automatic SSL** - No manual certificate management  
+✅ **No port conflicts** - All apps share 80/443  
+✅ **Secure** - App ports not exposed to internet  
+✅ **Professional** - Production-ready setup  
+
+---
+
+**Caddy makes this incredibly easy!** Just add the config and reload. SSL is handled automatically. 🚀

+## Step 3: Gitea Actions Workflow
+
+```yaml
+# .gitea/workflows/deploy.yml
+name: Deploy to Production
+
+on:
+  push:
+    branches:
+      - main

+    steps:
+      - name: Checkout code
+        uses: actions/checkout@v3
+
+      - name: Set up Docker Buildx
+        uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v2
+
+      - name: Create .env file
+        run: |
+          cat > .env << EOF

+
+      - name: Clean up old images
+        run: |
+          docker image prune -af --filter "until=24h"
+```
+
+## Step 4: Deployment Script (Alternative to Gitea Actions)
+
+If Gitea Actions is not available, use a webhook + script approach:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# deploy.sh
+
+set -e
+
+echo "🚀 Starting deployment..."
+
+# Pull latest code
+echo "📥 Pulling latest code..."
+git pull origin main
+
+# Create .env if not exists
+if [ ! -f .env ]; then
+    echo "⚠️  .env file not found! Please create it from .env.example"
+    exit 1
+fi
+
+# Stop existing containers
+echo "🛑 Stopping existing containers..."
+docker-compose down
+
+# Build new images
+echo "🔨 Building new images..."
+docker-compose build --no-cache
+
+# Start containers
+echo "▶️  Starting containers..."
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# Wait for services to be ready
+echo "⏳ Waiting for services..."
+sleep 10
+
+# Run migrations
+echo "🗄️  Running database migrations..."
+docker-compose exec -T api pnpm run drizzle:migrate
+
+# Health check
+echo "🏥 Health check..."
+if curl -f http://localhost:3001/health; then
+    echo "✅ API is healthy"
+else
+    echo "❌ API health check failed"
+    exit 1
+fi
+
+if curl -f http://localhost:3000; then
+    echo "✅ Admin is healthy"
+else
+    echo "❌ Admin health check failed"
+    exit 1
+fi
+
+# Clean up
+echo "🧹 Cleaning up old images..."
+docker image prune -af --filter "until=24h"
+
+echo "✅ Deployment complete!"
+```
+
+Make it executable:
+```bash
+chmod +x deploy.sh
+```
+
+## Step 5: Gitea Webhook Setup
+
+### Option A: Using Gitea Actions (Recommended)
+
+1. **Install Gitea Runner on your VPS:**
+```bash
+# Download Gitea Runner
+wget https://dl.gitea.com/act_runner/latest/act_runner-latest-linux-amd64
+chmod +x act_runner-latest-linux-amd64
+sudo mv act_runner-latest-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/act_runner
+
+# Register runner
+act_runner register --instance https://your-gitea-url --token YOUR_RUNNER_TOKEN
+
+# Run as service
+sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/gitea-runner.service > /dev/null <<EOF
+[Unit]
+Description=Gitea Actions Runner
+After=network.target
+
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+User=git
+WorkingDirectory=/home/git
+ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/act_runner daemon
+Restart=always
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+EOF
+
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl enable gitea-runner
+sudo systemctl start gitea-runner
+```
+
+2. **Add secrets in Gitea:**
+   - Go to your repository → Settings → Secrets
+   - Add all environment variables as secrets
+
+### Option B: Using Webhook + Script
+
+1. **Create webhook endpoint:**
+```bash
+# Install webhook listener
+sudo apt-get install webhook
+
+# Create webhook config
+sudo tee /etc/webhook.conf > /dev/null <<EOF
+[
+  {
+    "id": "voxblog-deploy",
+    "execute-command": "/path/to/voxblog/deploy.sh",
+    "command-working-directory": "/path/to/voxblog",
+    "response-message": "Deployment started",
+    "trigger-rule": {
+      "match": {
+        "type": "payload-hash-sha256",
+        "secret": "YOUR_WEBHOOK_SECRET",
+        "parameter": {
+          "source": "header",
+          "name": "X-Gitea-Signature"
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+]
+EOF
+
+# Run webhook as service
+sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/webhook.service > /dev/null <<EOF
+[Unit]
+Description=Webhook Service
+After=network.target
+
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+ExecStart=/usr/bin/webhook -hooks /etc/webhook.conf -verbose
+Restart=always
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+EOF
+
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl enable webhook
+sudo systemctl start webhook
+```
+
+2. **Configure Gitea webhook:**
+   - Repository → Settings → Webhooks → Add Webhook
+   - URL: `http://your-vps:9000/hooks/voxblog-deploy`
+   - Secret: `YOUR_WEBHOOK_SECRET`
+   - Trigger: Push events on main branch
+
+## Step 6: Reverse Proxy (Nginx)
+
+```nginx
+# /etc/nginx/sites-available/voxblog
+server {
+    listen 80;
+    server_name voxblog.yourdomain.com;
+
+    # Redirect to HTTPS
+    return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
+}
+
+server {
+    listen 443 ssl http2;
+    server_name voxblog.yourdomain.com;
+
+    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/voxblog.yourdomain.com/fullchain.pem;
+    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/voxblog.yourdomain.com/privkey.pem;
+
+    # Admin frontend
+    location / {
+        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
+        proxy_http_version 1.1;
+        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+        proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
+    }
+
+    # API backend
+    location /api {
+        proxy_pass http://localhost:3001;
+        proxy_http_version 1.1;
+        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+        proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
+        
+        # Increase timeout for AI streaming
+        proxy_read_timeout 600s;
+        proxy_send_timeout 600s;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Enable site:
+```bash
+sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/voxblog /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
+sudo nginx -t
+sudo systemctl reload nginx
+```
+
+## Step 7: SSL Certificate
+
+```bash
+# Install certbot
+sudo apt-get install certbot python3-certbot-nginx
+
+# Get certificate
+sudo certbot --nginx -d voxblog.yourdomain.com
+
+# Auto-renewal is set up automatically
+```
+
+## Step 8: Environment Variables
+
+Create `.env` on your VPS:
+```bash
+cd /path/to/voxblog
+cp .env.example .env
+nano .env
+```
+
+Fill in all values from `.env.example`.
+
+## Step 9: Initial Deployment
+
+```bash
+# Clone repository
+cd /var/www  # or your preferred location
+git clone https://your-gitea-url/your-username/voxblog.git
+cd voxblog
+
+# Create .env file
+cp .env.example .env
+nano .env  # Fill in values
+
+# Initial deployment
+./deploy.sh
+```
+
+## Step 10: Monitoring & Logs
+
+```bash
+# View logs
+docker-compose logs -f
+
+# View specific service
+docker-compose logs -f api
+docker-compose logs -f admin
+
+# Check status
+docker-compose ps
+
+# Restart services
+docker-compose restart api
+docker-compose restart admin
+```
+
+## Deployment Workflow
+
+```
+Developer pushes to main
+        ↓
+Gitea detects push
+        ↓
+Triggers Gitea Actions / Webhook
+        ↓
+Runs deploy.sh or workflow
+        ↓
+    1. Pull latest code
+    2. Build Docker images
+    3. Stop old containers
+    4. Start new containers
+    5. Run migrations
+    6. Health check
+    7. Clean up
+        ↓
+Deployment complete! ✅
+```
+
+## Rollback Strategy
+
+```bash
+# View recent images
+docker images | grep voxblog
+
+# Rollback to previous version
+docker tag voxblog-api:latest voxblog-api:backup
+docker tag voxblog-api:previous voxblog-api:latest
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# Or use git
+git log --oneline
+git checkout <previous-commit-hash>
+./deploy.sh
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Always test locally first:**
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose up --build
+   ```
+
+2. **Use health checks** in docker-compose.yml
+
+3. **Backup database regularly:**
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose exec mysql mysqldump -u voxblog -p voxblog > backup.sql
+   ```
+
+4. **Monitor disk space:**
+   ```bash
+   docker system df
+   docker system prune -a
+   ```
+
+5. **Use secrets management** - never commit `.env` to git
+
+6. **Set up monitoring** (optional):
+   - Portainer for Docker management
+   - Grafana + Prometheus for metrics
+   - Uptime Kuma for uptime monitoring
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Container won't start
+```bash
+docker-compose logs api
+docker-compose exec api sh  # Debug inside container
+```
+
+### Database connection issues
+```bash
+docker-compose exec mysql mysql -u voxblog -p
+# Check if database exists
+SHOW DATABASES;
+```
+
+### Port already in use
+```bash
+sudo lsof -i :3001
+sudo kill -9 <PID>
+```
+
+### Out of disk space
+```bash
+docker system prune -a --volumes
+```
+

+## 🎯 Quick Start (5 Minutes)
+
+### 1. On Your VPS
+
+```bash
+# Clone repository
+git clone https://your-gitea-url/username/voxblog.git
+cd voxblog
+
+# Configure environment
+cp .env.example .env
+nano .env  # Fill in your values
+
+# Deploy!
+./deploy.sh
+```
+
+### 2. Set Up CI/CD
+
+**For Gitea Actions:**
+```bash
+# Install runner
+wget https://dl.gitea.com/act_runner/latest/act_runner-latest-linux-amd64
+chmod +x act_runner-latest-linux-amd64
+sudo mv act_runner-latest-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/act_runner
+
+# Register and start
+act_runner register --instance https://your-gitea --token YOUR_TOKEN
+# Then set up as systemd service (see QUICK_START.md)
+```
+
+**For Webhook:**
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install webhook
+# Configure webhook (see QUICK_START.md)
+```
+
+### 3. Add Secrets (Gitea Actions only)
+
+Repository → Settings → Secrets → Add all from `.env`
+
+### 4. Push to Main
+
+```bash
+git add .
+git commit -m "Add deployment configuration"
+git push origin main
+```
+
+🎉 **Auto-deployment triggered!**
+
+## 🔧 Environment Variables
+
+All required variables in `.env`:
+
+```bash
+# Database
+MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=strong_password
+MYSQL_PASSWORD=voxblog_password
+
+# Application
+ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin_password
+OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
+GHOST_ADMIN_API_KEY=...
+
+# S3 Storage
+S3_BUCKET=your-bucket
+S3_REGION=us-east-1
+S3_ACCESS_KEY=...
+S3_SECRET_KEY=...
+S3_ENDPOINT=https://s3.amazonaws.com
+
+# Frontend
+VITE_API_URL=https://api.yourdomain.com
+```
+
+## 🌐 Production Setup
+
+### With Domain Name
+
+1. **Point DNS to VPS**
+   ```
+   A Record: @ → your-vps-ip
+   A Record: api → your-vps-ip
+   ```
+
+2. **Install Nginx**
+   ```bash

+# VoxBlog Setup for Multi-Application VPS
+
+## Perfect for Your Use Case! 🎯
+
+Since you're running **multiple applications** on your VPS, this is the **recommended production setup**.
+
+## Choose Your Reverse Proxy
+
+- **[Caddy Setup](CADDY_SETUP.md)** ⚡ Recommended! Automatic HTTPS, simpler config
+- **[Nginx Setup](NGINX_SETUP.md)** 🔧 Traditional, more control
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+Internet
+    ↓
+Port 80/443 (Nginx)
+    ↓
+┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  app1.domain.com → localhost:3000   │
+│  app2.domain.com → localhost:4000   │
+│  voxblog.domain.com → localhost:3000│ ← VoxBlog
+│  voxblog.domain.com/api → :3001     │ ← VoxBlog API
+└─────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+## What Changed
+
+✅ **docker-compose.yml** - Ports now bind to localhost only:
+```yaml
+ports:
+  - "127.0.0.1:3000:80"   # Not exposed to internet
+  - "127.0.0.1:3001:3001" # Not exposed to internet
+```
+
+✅ **Caddyfile** - Caddy configuration (automatic HTTPS!)
+
+✅ **nginx-vps.conf** - Nginx configuration (alternative)
+
+✅ **CADDY_SETUP.md** - Complete Caddy setup guide
+
+✅ **NGINX_SETUP.md** - Complete Nginx setup guide
+
+## Quick Setup
+
+### Option A: Caddy (Recommended - Automatic HTTPS!)
+
+#### 1. Configure DNS
+```
+A Record: voxblog.yourdomain.com → your-vps-ip
+```
+
+#### 2. Add to Caddyfile
+```bash
+# On VPS
+sudo nano /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
+```
+
+Add this block (replace with your domain):
+```caddy
+voxblog.yourdomain.com {
+    handle / {
+        reverse_proxy localhost:3000
+    }
+    handle /api* {
+        reverse_proxy localhost:3001
+    }
+    encode gzip
+}
+```
+
+#### 3. Reload Caddy
+```bash
+sudo caddy validate --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
+sudo systemctl reload caddy
+```
+
+**That's it!** SSL is automatic. ✨
+
+See **[CADDY_SETUP.md](CADDY_SETUP.md)** for details.
+
+### Option B: Nginx (Alternative)
+
+#### 1. Configure DNS
+```
+A Record: voxblog.yourdomain.com → your-vps-ip
+```
+
+#### 2. Copy Nginx Config
+```bash
+scp nginx-vps.conf user@your-vps:/tmp/voxblog.conf
+sudo mv /tmp/voxblog.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/voxblog
+sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/voxblog  # Edit domain
+sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/voxblog /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
+sudo nginx -t
+sudo systemctl reload nginx
+```
+
+#### 3. Add SSL
+```bash
+sudo certbot --nginx -d voxblog.yourdomain.com
+```
+
+See **[NGINX_SETUP.md](NGINX_SETUP.md)** for details.
+
+### 3. Update .env on VPS
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/voxblog
+nano .env
+```
+
+Add:
+```bash
+VITE_API_URL=https://voxblog.yourdomain.com/api
+```
+
+### 4. Deploy
+
+```bash
+./deploy.sh
+```
+
+### 5. SSL
+
+**Caddy**: Automatic! Nothing to do. ✨
+
+**Nginx**: 
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install certbot python3-certbot-nginx
+sudo certbot --nginx -d voxblog.yourdomain.com
+```
+
+## Access
+
+- **Frontend**: `https://voxblog.yourdomain.com`
+- **API**: `https://voxblog.yourdomain.com/api`
+
+## Firewall
+
+You only need ports 80 and 443:
+
+```bash
+sudo ufw allow 80/tcp
+sudo ufw allow 443/tcp
+sudo ufw status
+```
+
+Application ports (3000, 3001) are NOT exposed to internet - only accessible via Nginx!
+
+## Benefits
+
+✅ **No port conflicts** - All apps share 80/443
+✅ **Secure** - App ports not exposed
+✅ **Clean URLs** - Use domains, not IP:port
+✅ **SSL ready** - Free Let's Encrypt certificates
+✅ **Professional** - Standard production setup
+
+## Example: Multiple Apps
+
+**Caddy:**
+```caddy
+app1.yourdomain.com {
+    reverse_proxy localhost:4000
+}
+
+app2.yourdomain.com {
+    reverse_proxy localhost:5000
+}
+
+voxblog.yourdomain.com {
+    handle / { reverse_proxy localhost:3000 }
+    handle /api* { reverse_proxy localhost:3001 }
+}
+```
+
+**Nginx:**
+```nginx
+server {
+    server_name app1.yourdomain.com;
+    location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4000; }
+}
+
+server {
+    server_name voxblog.yourdomain.com;
+    location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000; }
+    location /api { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3001; }
+}
+```
+
+All apps coexist peacefully! 🎉
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Can't access via domain
+
+1. Check DNS: `nslookup voxblog.yourdomain.com`
+2. Check Nginx: `sudo nginx -t`
+3. Check containers: `docker-compose ps`
+4. Check logs: `sudo tail -f /var/log/nginx/error.log`
+
+### 502 Bad Gateway
+
+```bash
+# Check if containers are running
+docker-compose ps
+
+# Check if ports are accessible
+curl http://localhost:3000
+curl http://localhost:3001/health
+```

+# VoxBlog Quick Start Guide
+
+## 🚀 Deploy to Production in 5 Minutes
+
+### Prerequisites
+- VPS with Docker and Docker Compose installed
+- Gitea repository set up
+- Domain name (optional, for SSL)
+
+### Step 1: Clone Repository on VPS
+
+```bash
+ssh user@your-vps
+
+# Navigate to your deployment directory
+cd /var/www  # or /home/user/apps
+
+# Clone from Gitea
+git clone https://your-gitea-url/username/voxblog.git
+cd voxblog
+```
+
+### Step 2: Configure Environment
+
+```bash
+# Copy example env file
+cp .env.example .env
+
+# Edit with your values
+nano .env
+```
+
+Fill in all values:
+- `MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD` - Strong password for MySQL root
+- `MYSQL_PASSWORD` - Password for voxblog database user
+- `ADMIN_PASSWORD` - Password for admin login
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY` - Your OpenAI API key
+- `GHOST_ADMIN_API_KEY` - Your Ghost CMS API key
+- `S3_*` - Your S3 credentials
+- `VITE_API_URL` - Your API URL (e.g., https://api.yourdomain.com)
+
+### Step 3: Deploy
+
+```bash
+# Make deploy script executable
+chmod +x deploy.sh
+
+# Run deployment
+./deploy.sh
+```
+
+That's it! Your application is now running:
+- **API**: http://your-vps:3001
+- **Admin**: http://your-vps:3000
+
+### Step 4: Set Up CI/CD (Choose One)
+
+#### Option A: Gitea Actions (Recommended)
+
+1. **Install Gitea Runner on VPS:**
+
+```bash
+# Download runner
+wget https://dl.gitea.com/act_runner/latest/act_runner-latest-linux-amd64
+chmod +x act_runner-latest-linux-amd64
+sudo mv act_runner-latest-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/act_runner
+
+# Register (get token from Gitea: Settings → Actions → Runners)
+act_runner register \
+  --instance https://your-gitea-url \
+  --token YOUR_RUNNER_TOKEN \
+  --name voxblog-runner
+
+# Create systemd service
+sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/gitea-runner.service > /dev/null <<EOF
+[Unit]
+Description=Gitea Actions Runner
+After=network.target
+
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+User=$USER
+WorkingDirectory=$HOME
+ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/act_runner daemon
+Restart=always
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+EOF
+
+# Start service
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl enable gitea-runner
+sudo systemctl start gitea-runner
+sudo systemctl status gitea-runner
+```
+
+2. **Add Secrets in Gitea:**
+
+Go to: Repository → Settings → Secrets → Actions
+
+Add all variables from `.env`:
+- `MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD`
+- `MYSQL_PASSWORD`
+- `ADMIN_PASSWORD`
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY`
+- `GHOST_ADMIN_API_KEY`
+- `S3_BUCKET`
+- `S3_REGION`
+- `S3_ACCESS_KEY`
+- `S3_SECRET_KEY`
+- `S3_ENDPOINT`
+- `VITE_API_URL`
+
+3. **Push to main branch** - Deployment will trigger automatically!
+
+#### Option B: Webhook (Alternative)
+
+1. **Install webhook listener:**
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install webhook
+
+# Create webhook config
+sudo tee /etc/webhook.conf > /dev/null <<EOF
+[
+  {
+    "id": "voxblog-deploy",
+    "execute-command": "$(pwd)/deploy.sh",
+    "command-working-directory": "$(pwd)",
+    "response-message": "Deployment started"
+  }
+]
+EOF
+
+# Create systemd service
+sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/webhook.service > /dev/null <<EOF
+[Unit]
+Description=Webhook Service
+After=network.target
+
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+ExecStart=/usr/bin/webhook -hooks /etc/webhook.conf -verbose -port 9000
+Restart=always
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+EOF
+
+# Start service
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl enable webhook
+sudo systemctl start webhook
+```
+
+2. **Configure Gitea Webhook:**
+
+Repository → Settings → Webhooks → Add Webhook
+- URL: `http://your-vps:9000/hooks/voxblog-deploy`
+- Trigger: Push events on main branch
+
+### Step 5: Set Up Reverse Proxy (Optional but Recommended)
+
+```bash
+# Install nginx
+sudo apt-get install nginx
+
+# Create site config
+sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/voxblog
+```
+
+Paste this configuration:
+
+```nginx
+server {
+    listen 80;
+    server_name yourdomain.com;
+
+    # Admin frontend
+    location / {
+        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
+        proxy_http_version 1.1;
+        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+        proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
+    }
+
+    # API backend
+    location /api {
+        proxy_pass http://localhost:3001;
+        proxy_http_version 1.1;
+        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+        proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
+        
+        # Long timeout for AI streaming
+        proxy_read_timeout 600s;
+        proxy_send_timeout 600s;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Enable site:
+
+```bash
+sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/voxblog /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
+sudo nginx -t
+sudo systemctl reload nginx
+```
+
+### Step 6: Add SSL (Recommended)
+
+```bash
+# Install certbot
+sudo apt-get install certbot python3-certbot-nginx
+
+# Get certificate
+sudo certbot --nginx -d yourdomain.com
+
+# Auto-renewal is configured automatically
+```
+
+## 📊 Monitoring
+
+### View Logs
+
+```bash
+# All services
+docker-compose logs -f
+
+# Specific service
+docker-compose logs -f api
+docker-compose logs -f admin
+docker-compose logs -f mysql
+```
+
+### Check Status
+
+```bash
+docker-compose ps
+```
+
+### Restart Services
+
+```bash
+# Restart all
+docker-compose restart
+
+# Restart specific service
+docker-compose restart api
+```
+
+## 🔄 Updates
+
+Every time you push to `main` branch:
+1. Gitea Actions/Webhook triggers
+2. Code is pulled
+3. Docker images are rebuilt
+4. Containers are restarted
+5. Migrations run automatically
+6. Health checks verify deployment
+
+## 🛠️ Troubleshooting
+
+### Containers won't start
+
+```bash
+docker-compose logs api
+docker-compose logs admin
+```
+
+### Database issues
+
+```bash
+docker-compose exec mysql mysql -u voxblog -p
+# Enter MYSQL_PASSWORD when prompted
+SHOW DATABASES;
+```
+
+### Port conflicts
+
+```bash
+sudo lsof -i :3001
+sudo lsof -i :3000
+```
+
+### Disk space
+
+```bash
+docker system df
+docker system prune -a
+```
+
+### Reset everything
+
+```bash
+docker-compose down -v  # WARNING: Deletes database!
+./deploy.sh
+```
+
+## 📦 Backup
+
+### Database Backup
+
+```bash
+# Create backup
+docker-compose exec mysql mysqldump -u voxblog -p voxblog > backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).sql
+
+# Restore backup
+docker-compose exec -T mysql mysql -u voxblog -p voxblog < backup-20241025.sql
+```
+
+### Full Backup
+
+```bash
+# Backup data directory
+tar -czf voxblog-data-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz data/
