+# Deploying BizGaze Support
+
+The app runs as a Docker container behind the existing **Nginx Proxy Manager**,
+which terminates TLS and proxies `https://remote.bizgaze.com` → `bizgaze-support:8090`
+on the shared `nginx_proxy_manager_default` network. No host ports are published.
+
+Deployment model: **the server holds a git clone of this repo.** Each deploy is a
+`git pull` + rebuild via [`deploy.sh`](deploy.sh). Two files are *not* in git and
+live only on the server — they survive every pull:
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `.env` | Secrets — TURN credentials, optional `SSO_SECRET`, `BIZGAZE_WEBHOOK_URL`. See [.env.example](.env.example). |
+| `server/cert.pem`, `server/key.pem` | Self-signed cert for the app's *optional* direct-HTTPS listener (8443). Not needed behind NPM, but harmless. |
+
+Server facts:
+- Host: `root@118.95.33.89` port `61`
+- App path: `/opt/bizgaze-support`
+- Data: Docker named volume `bizgaze_support_data` → `/data/data.db` (persists across rebuilds)
+- Backups: `/opt/bizgaze-support.backups/` (newest 3 `.tgz` snapshots, auto-rotated)
+
+---
+
+## One-time bootstrap (server → git clone)
+
+Run **once** to convert the existing folder into a git checkout without losing the
+secrets. Prerequisite: the deployment files (Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml,
+deploy.sh, etc.) are committed and pushed to `origin/master` first.
+
+```bash
+ssh -p 61 root@118.95.33.89          # or: plink -ssh -P 61 -pw '<pw>' root@118.95.33.89
+
+# 1. Store git credentials so pulls are non-interactive (once per server).
+git config --global credential.helper store
+printf 'https://devops%%40bizgaze.com:Bizgaze%%40123@code.bizgaze.com\n' > ~/.git-credentials
+chmod 600 ~/.git-credentials
+
+# 2. Stash the live secrets.
+cd /opt
+cp -a bizgaze-support /opt/bizgaze-support.preclone.bak
+mkdir -p /tmp/bzsecrets
+cp bizgaze-support/.env                /tmp/bzsecrets/ 2>/dev/null || true
+cp bizgaze-support/server/cert.pem     /tmp/bzsecrets/ 2>/dev/null || true
+cp bizgaze-support/server/key.pem      /tmp/bzsecrets/ 2>/dev/null || true
+
+# 3. Replace the folder with a fresh clone.
+rm -rf bizgaze-support
+git clone https://code.bizgaze.com/Sravan/BizGaze_Remote.git bizgaze-support
+cd bizgaze-support
+
+# 4. Restore the secrets the clone doesn't carry.
+cp /tmp/bzsecrets/.env       ./.env
+cp /tmp/bzsecrets/cert.pem   ./server/cert.pem 2>/dev/null || true
+cp /tmp/bzsecrets/key.pem    ./server/key.pem  2>/dev/null || true
+rm -rf /tmp/bzsecrets
+
+# 5. Build & launch.
+chmod +x deploy.sh
+docker compose up -d --build
+docker compose ps
+```
+
+If `.env` did not exist yet, create it from the template and fill in the TURN secret:
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env && nano .env
+```
+
+---
+
+## Routine deploy
+
+After pushing changes to `origin/master`:
+
+```bash
+ssh -p 61 root@118.95.33.89 'cd /opt/bizgaze-support && ./deploy.sh'
+```
+
+`deploy.sh` snapshots the current tree (keeping 3 backups), `git reset --hard`s to
+`origin/master`, rebuilds, and verifies `/api/ice`. Flags:
+
+- `./deploy.sh --no-pull` — rebuild the current checkout without pulling
+- `./deploy.sh --rollback` — restore the newest backup snapshot and rebuild
+
+---
+
+## Verify
+
+```bash
+curl https://remote.bizgaze.com/api/ice
+```
+
+Response must list the public STUN entry **and** a TURN entry at
+`global.relay.metered.ca`. If only STUN appears, `.env` isn't reaching the
+container — check `docker exec bizgaze-support env | grep TURN`.
+
+---
+
+## Rollback
+
+```bash
+cd /opt/bizgaze-support && ./deploy.sh --rollback   # newest snapshot
+# or restore a specific snapshot:
+ls -1t /opt/bizgaze-support.backups/*.tgz
+tar -xzf /opt/bizgaze-support.backups/<stamp>.tgz -C /opt/bizgaze-support && docker compose up -d --build
+```
+
+The `data.db` volume is never overwritten by a rebuild, so data is retained
+regardless of code version.
