+# Soroban Abacus Flashcards - Production Deployment System
+
+## Overview
+
+The Soroban Abacus Flashcards application is deployed to production at `https://abaci.one` using a fully automated CI/CD pipeline. The system follows the established NAS deployment pattern with Docker containerization, GitHub Actions for CI/CD, Traefik reverse proxy, Watchtower for auto-updates, and Porkbun DDNS integration.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+User Request → Cloudflare → abaci.one (DDNS) → Synology NAS → Traefik → Docker Container
+```
+
+### Components
+
+1. **Source**: Monorepo with pnpm workspaces and Turborepo
+2. **CI/CD**: GitHub Actions with automated Docker builds
+3. **Registry**: GitHub Container Registry (ghcr.io)
+4. **Deployment**: Synology NAS with Docker Compose
+5. **Reverse Proxy**: Traefik with Let's Encrypt SSL
+6. **Auto-Updates**: Watchtower (5-minute polling)
+7. **DNS**: Porkbun DDNS for dynamic IP updates
+
+## Deployment Process
+
+### 1. Code Push Triggers Build
+
+When code is pushed to the `main` branch:
+
+1. GitHub Actions workflow (`.github/workflows/deploy.yml`) triggers
+2. Multi-stage Docker build runs:
+   - Install dependencies with pnpm
+   - Generate Panda CSS styled-system
+   - Build Next.js app with Turborepo
+   - Create optimized production image
+3. Image pushed to `ghcr.io/antialias/soroban-abacus-flashcards`
+
+### 2. Automatic Deployment
+
+1. Watchtower polls GitHub Container Registry every 5 minutes
+2. Detects new image version and pulls it
+3. Gracefully stops old container and starts new one
+4. Traefik automatically routes traffic to new container
+
+### 3. DNS and SSL
+
+1. Porkbun DDNS keeps `abaci.one` pointing to current NAS IP
+2. Traefik handles SSL certificate provisioning via Let's Encrypt
+3. Automatic HTTPS redirect and certificate renewal
+
+## File Structure
+
+```
+/
+├── Dockerfile                           # Multi-stage build configuration
+├── .github/workflows/deploy.yml         # CI/CD pipeline

+│   └── .env                            # Environment variables (not committed)
+└── DEPLOYMENT.md                       # This documentation
+```
+
+## Key Configuration Files
+
+### Dockerfile
+- Multi-stage build optimized for monorepo
+- pnpm workspace dependency management
+- Panda CSS generation step
+- Next.js standalone output for optimal Docker deployment
+- Proper static file serving configuration
+
+### GitHub Actions Workflow
+- Triggers on push to main branch
+- Builds and pushes Docker images to ghcr.io
+- Uses GitHub Container Registry for hosting
+- Simplified build process (no type checking in CI)
+
+### Docker Compose
+- Single service deployment
+- Traefik labels for reverse proxy routing
+- Watchtower compatibility for auto-updates
+- Environment variable configuration
+
+### Next.js Configuration
+- Standalone output mode for Docker optimization
+- Build optimization settings
+- Static file serving configuration
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+Required in `nas-deployment/.env`:
+
+```bash
+# GitHub Container Registry
+GITHUB_TOKEN=<personal_access_token>
+GITHUB_USERNAME=<username>
+
+# Application
+NODE_ENV=production
+```
+
+## NAS Deployment Directory
+
+```
+/volume1/homes/antialias/projects/abaci.one/
+├── docker-compose.yaml
+├── .env
+└── logs/
+```
+
+## Monitoring and Maintenance
+
+### Checking Deployment Status
+
+```bash
+# On NAS
+docker-compose ps
+docker-compose logs -f app
+
+# GitHub Actions status
+gh run list --repo antialias/soroban-abacus-flashcards
+```
+
+### Manual Updates
+
+```bash
+# Force update (if needed)
+docker-compose pull
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+### DNS Status
+
+```bash
+# Check DNS resolution
+nslookup abaci.one
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **CSS not loading**: Check static file paths in Dockerfile
+2. **DNS not updating**: Verify DDNS configuration in existing updater
+3. **Container not starting**: Check environment variables and logs
+4. **SSL certificate issues**: Traefik will auto-renew, check Traefik logs
+
+### Build Failures
+
+1. **TypeScript errors**: Review apps/web/src files for type issues
+2. **Dependency issues**: Verify workspace dependencies are correctly referenced
+3. **Docker build timeout**: Check .dockerignore and build optimization
+
+### Production Issues
+
+1. **Site not accessible**: Check Traefik configuration and DNS
+2. **Auto-updates not working**: Verify Watchtower is running
+3. **Performance issues**: Monitor container resources
+
+## Security
+
+- Non-root user in Docker container
+- Minimal Alpine Linux base image
+- GitHub Container Registry with token authentication
+- Traefik handles SSL termination
+- No sensitive data in committed files
+
+## Dependencies
+

+- Porkbun (DNS management)
+- Let's Encrypt (SSL certificates)
+
+### Infrastructure

+docker-compose down
+
+# Pull latest image
+docker-compose pull
+
+# Start fresh container
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+### Configuration Backup
+- `docker-compose.yaml` and `.env` files are backed up via NAS snapshots
+- Source code is version controlled in GitHub
+- Container images stored in GitHub Container Registry
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+- Next.js standalone output reduces image size
