Production Server

First-time: Install Docker and Docker Compose, nginx, SSL (e.g. Let's Encrypt). Free ports 80/443 (stop Apache if needed). Configure nginx to proxy to the frontend and backend containers. Create config/.env.prod with production values. Build and start: docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml --env-file config/.env.prod build && up -d (or the prod compose file your project uses).

Updates: SSH to server, git pull origin main, rebuild images, restart: docker compose ... down && build && up -d. Or use the CLI (Deployment → Deploy Environment → Production) if run from the server or a machine that can reach it.

Details: PRODUCTION_DEPLOYMENT.md, docs/deployment/production.md, docs/deployment/redeploy-instructions.md in the repo.
