+# 🚀 Deploy ParentFlow to Production - Step by Step
+
+## Quick Deploy Instructions
+
+### Step 1: Connect to Production Server
+
+Open your terminal and connect via SSH:
+```bash
+ssh root@10.0.0.240
+# Password: a3pq5t50yA@#
+```
+
+### Step 2: Download and Run Deployment Script
+
+Once connected to the server, run these commands:
+
+```bash
+# Download the deployment script
+wget https://git.noru1.ro/andrei/maternal-app/raw/branch/main/deploy-to-production.sh
+
+# Make it executable
+chmod +x deploy-to-production.sh
+
+# Run the deployment
+./deploy-to-production.sh
+```
+
+### Step 3: Edit Environment Variables (First Time Only)
+
+The script will pause and ask you to edit `.env.production`.
+You need to update these critical values:
+
+```bash
+# Edit the file
+nano /root/maternal-app/.env.production
+```
+
+Key values to update:
+- `JWT_SECRET` - Generate with: `openssl rand -base64 64`
+- `JWT_REFRESH_SECRET` - Generate with: `openssl rand -base64 64`
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY` - Your OpenAI API key for AI features
+- Redis, MongoDB, MinIO passwords (keep defaults or change)
+
+Press `Ctrl+X`, then `Y`, then `Enter` to save and exit.
+
+Then press `Enter` in the deployment script to continue.
+
+### Step 4: Verify Deployment
+
+After the script completes, verify everything is running:
+
+```bash
+# Check PM2 processes
+pm2 status
+
+# Check Docker containers
+docker ps
+
+# Check if services are accessible
+curl http://localhost:3020/api/health
+curl http://localhost:3030
+```
+
+## What the Script Does
+
+1. ✅ Clones the repository from Gitea
+2. ✅ Installs Node.js 18, PM2, Docker, Docker Compose
+3. ✅ Installs all npm dependencies
+4. ✅ Builds backend and frontend
+5. ✅ Starts Docker containers (Redis, MongoDB, MinIO)
+6. ✅ Runs database migrations on 10.0.0.207
+7. ✅ Starts PM2 processes for backend (3020) and frontend (3030)
+8. ✅ Sets up PM2 to restart on system reboot
+
+## After Deployment
+
+### Test the Application
+
+From your local machine:
+1. Backend Health: http://10.0.0.240:3020/api/health
+2. Frontend: http://10.0.0.240:3030
+
+### Production URLs (Already configured in Nginx)
+
+- API: https://api.parentflowapp.com
+- Web: https://web.parentflowapp.com
+
+### Management Commands
+
+On the production server:
+
+```bash
+# View logs
+pm2 logs
+
+# Restart services
+pm2 restart all
+
+# Stop services
+pm2 stop all
+
+# View real-time metrics
+pm2 monit
+
+# Docker logs
+docker logs parentflow-redis-prod
+docker logs parentflow-mongodb-prod
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### If backend doesn't start:
+```bash
+pm2 logs parentflow-backend-prod --err
+cd /root/maternal-app/maternal-app/maternal-app-backend
+npm run build
+pm2 restart parentflow-backend-prod
+```
+
+### If frontend doesn't start:
+```bash
+pm2 logs parentflow-frontend-prod --err
+cd /root/maternal-app/maternal-web
+npm run build
+pm2 restart parentflow-frontend-prod
+```
+
+### If database connection fails:
+```bash
+# Test connection
+PGPASSWORD=a3ppq psql -h 10.0.0.207 -p 5432 -U postgres -d parentflow -c "SELECT version();"
+
+# Check migrations
+cd /root/maternal-app/maternal-app/maternal-app-backend
+./scripts/check-migrations.sh
+```
+
+### To update after changes:
+```bash
+cd /root/maternal-app
+git pull origin main
+cd maternal-app/maternal-app-backend
+npm install
+npm run build
+cd ../../maternal-web
+npm install
+npm run build
+pm2 restart all
+```
+
+## Success Indicators
+
+You'll know deployment is successful when:
+- ✅ `pm2 status` shows both processes as "online"
+- ✅ `docker ps` shows 3 containers running
+- ✅ Backend responds at http://10.0.0.240:3020/api/health
+- ✅ Frontend loads at http://10.0.0.240:3030
+- ✅ You can register/login at https://web.parentflowapp.com
+
+## Support
+
+If you encounter issues:
+1. Check logs: `pm2 logs`
+2. Check Docker: `docker ps` and `docker logs [container-name]`
+3. Verify PostgreSQL connection to 10.0.0.207
+4. Ensure ports 3020 and 3030 are not blocked
+

+
+**Ready to deploy! Just SSH to the server and run the 3 commands in Step 2.**
