+# 🚀 Deployment Steps - Quick Reference
+
+**Total Time**: ~10 minutes | **Risk Level**: LOW | **Difficulty**: Easy
+
+---
+
+## ⏸️ Phase 1: Pre-Deployment (Before you start)
+
+### Step 1: Identify Target IP
+Determine what IP your host will have **after** restart:
+```bash
+TARGET_IP=192.168.0.121    # Example: your static production IP
+```
+
+### Step 2: Generate SECRET_KEY
+```bash
+python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))"
+# Copy output - you'll need this
+```
+
+### Step 3: Create .env File
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+```
+
+### Step 4: Configure .env
+```bash
+nano .env
+```
+
+Edit these values in `.env`:
+```
+SECRET_KEY=<paste-generated-key-from-step-2>
+ADMIN_PASSWORD=<set-strong-password>
+HOST_IP=192.168.0.121
+DOMAIN=digiserver.local
+TRUSTED_PROXIES=192.168.0.0/24
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔨 Phase 2: Build & Start (Still on current network)
+
+### Step 5: Build Docker Images
+```bash
+docker-compose build
+```
+
+### Step 6: Start Containers
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+### Step 7: Initialize Database
+```bash
+docker-compose exec digiserver-app flask db upgrade
+```
+
+### Step 8: Wait for Startup
+```bash
+# Wait ~30 seconds for containers to be healthy
+sleep 30
+
+# Verify containers are healthy
+docker-compose ps
+# Look for "healthy" status on both containers
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🌐 Phase 3: Move Host to Target Network
+
+### Step 9: Network Configuration
+- Physically disconnect host from current network
+- Connect to production network (e.g., 192.168.0.0/24)
+- Host will receive/retain static IP (192.168.0.121)
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Phase 4: Verification
+
+### Step 10: Test Health Endpoint
+```bash
+curl -k https://192.168.0.121/api/health
+
+# Expected response:
+# {"status":"healthy","timestamp":"...","version":"2.0.0"}
+```
+
+### Step 11: Check Logs
+```bash
+docker-compose logs --tail=50 digiserver-app
+
+# Look for any ERROR messages
+# Should see Flask running on port 5000
+```
+
+### Step 12: Test API with CORS
+```bash
+curl -i -k https://192.168.0.121/api/playlists
+
+# Verify CORS headers present:
+# access-control-allow-origin: *
+# access-control-allow-methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📋 Command Cheat Sheet
+
+```bash
+# Create environment
+cp .env.example .env && nano .env
+
+# Build and start
+docker-compose build
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# Initialize database
+docker-compose exec digiserver-app flask db upgrade
+
+# Check status
+docker-compose ps
+
+# View logs
+docker-compose logs -f digiserver-app
+
+# Health check
+curl -k https://192.168.0.121/api/health
+
+# Stop services
+docker-compose down
+
+# Restart services
+docker-compose restart
+```
+

+
+## ⏱️ Timing Breakdown
+
+| Phase | Duration | Notes |
+|-------|----------|-------|
+| Pre-deployment setup | 5 min | Configure .env |
+| Docker build | 2-3 min | First time only |
+| Containers start | 30 sec | Automatic |
+| Database init | 10 sec | Flask migrations |
+| Network move | Instant | Plug/Unplug |
+| Verification | 2 min | Health checks |
+| **Total** | **~10 min** | Ready to go |
+
+---
+
+## ✨ Post-Deployment
+
+Once verified working:
+
+- **Backup .env** (contains secrets)
+  ```bash
+  cp .env /backup/.env.backup
+  chmod 600 /backup/.env.backup
+  ```
+
+- **Enable backups** (optional)
+  ```bash
+  # Add to crontab for daily backups
+  0 2 * * * docker-compose exec digiserver-app \
+    cp instance/dashboard.db /backup/db.$(date +\%Y\%m\%d)
+  ```
+
+- **Monitor logs** (first 24 hours)
+  ```bash
+  docker-compose logs -f digiserver-app
+  ```
+
+---
+
+## 🆘 Troubleshooting Quick Fixes
+
+| Issue | Fix |
+|-------|-----|
+| Build fails | Run: `docker-compose build --no-cache` |
+| Port already in use | Run: `docker-compose down` first |
+| Container won't start | Check logs: `docker-compose logs digiserver-app` |
+| Health check fails | Wait 30 sec longer, networks take time |
+| Can't reach API | Verify host IP: `ip addr \| grep 192.168` |
+| Certificate error | Curl with `-k` flag (self-signed cert) |
+

+
