+## Application Deployments
+
+Deploy full-stack applications with automatic domain assignment and namespace isolation.
+
+### Deploy a React App
+
+```bash
+# Build your app
+cd my-react-app
+npm run build
+
+# Deploy to Orama Network
+orama deploy static ./dist --name my-app
+
+# Your app is now live at: https://my-app.orama.network
+```
+
+### Deploy Next.js with SSR
+
+```bash
+cd my-nextjs-app
+
+# Ensure next.config.js has: output: 'standalone'
+npm run build
+orama deploy nextjs . --name my-nextjs --ssr
+
+# Live at: https://my-nextjs.orama.network
+```
+
+### Deploy Go Backend
+
+```bash
+# Build for Linux (name binary 'app' for auto-detection)
+GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o app main.go
+
+# Deploy (must implement /health endpoint)
+orama deploy go ./app --name my-api
+
+# API live at: https://my-api.orama.network
+```
+
+### Create SQLite Database
+
+```bash
+# Create database
+orama db create my-database
+
+# Create schema
+orama db query my-database "CREATE TABLE users (id INT, name TEXT)"
+
+# Insert data
+orama db query my-database "INSERT INTO users VALUES (1, 'Alice')"
+
+# Query data
+orama db query my-database "SELECT * FROM users"
+
+# Backup to IPFS
+orama db backup my-database
+```
+
+### Full-Stack Example
+
+Deploy a complete app with React frontend, Go backend, and SQLite database:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create database
+orama db create myapp-db
+orama db query myapp-db "CREATE TABLE users (id INT PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT)"
+
+# 2. Deploy Go backend (connects to database)
+GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o api main.go
+orama deploy go ./api --name myapp-api
+
+# 3. Deploy React frontend (calls backend API)
+cd frontend && npm run build
+orama deploy static ./dist --name myapp
+
+# Access:
+# Frontend: https://myapp.orama.network
+# Backend: https://myapp-api.orama.network

+- 9001 - Anyone ORPort (relay traffic, must be open externally)
+
+### Anyone Network Integration
+
+Orama Network integrates with the [Anyone Protocol](https://anyone.io) for anonymous routing. By default, nodes run as **clients** (consuming the network). Optionally, you can run as a **relay operator** to earn rewards.
+
+**Client Mode (Default):**
+- Routes traffic through Anyone network for anonymity
+- SOCKS5 proxy on localhost:9050
+- No rewards, just consumes network
+
+**Relay Mode (Earn Rewards):**
+- Provide bandwidth to the Anyone network
+- Earn $ANYONE tokens as a relay operator
+- Requires 100 $ANYONE tokens in your wallet
+- Requires ORPort (9001) open to the internet
 
 ```bash
-# Install via APT
-echo "deb https://debrosficial.github.io/network/apt stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debros.list
+# Install as relay operator (earn rewards)
+sudo orama install --vps-ip <IP> --domain <domain> \

+**Security:** Nodes join via single-use invite tokens over HTTPS. A WireGuard VPN tunnel
+is established before any cluster services start. All inter-node traffic (RQLite, IPFS,
+Olric, LibP2P) flows over the encrypted WireGuard mesh — no cluster ports are exposed
+publicly. **Never use `http://<ip>:6001`** for joining — port 6001 is internal-only and
+blocked by UFW. Use the domain (`https://node1.example.com`) or, if DNS is not yet
+configured, use the IP over HTTP port 80 (`http://<ip>`) which goes through Caddy.

+
+## Quick Clean (Copy-Paste)
+
+Run this as root or with sudo on the target VPS:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Stop and disable all services
+sudo systemctl stop debros-node debros-ipfs debros-ipfs-cluster debros-olric debros-anyone-relay debros-anyone-client coredns caddy 2>/dev/null

+
+# 5. Remove debros user and home directory

+
+## Overview
+
+Orama Network provides a decentralized platform for deploying web applications and managing databases. Each deployment:
+
+- **Gets a unique domain** automatically (e.g., `myapp.orama.network`)
+- **Isolated per namespace** - your data and apps are completely separate from others
+- **Served from IPFS** (static) or **runs as a process** (dynamic apps)
+- **Fully managed** - automatic health checks, restarts, and logging
+
+### Supported Deployment Types
+
+| Type | Description | Use Case | Domain Example |
+|------|-------------|----------|----------------|
+| **Static** | HTML/CSS/JS files served from IPFS | React, Vue, Angular, plain HTML | `myapp.orama.network` |
+| **Next.js** | Next.js with SSR support | Full-stack Next.js apps | `myapp.orama.network` |
+| **Go** | Compiled Go binaries | REST APIs, microservices | `api.orama.network` |
+| **Node.js** | Node.js applications | Express APIs, TypeScript backends | `backend.orama.network` |
+
+---
+
+## Authentication
+
+Before deploying, authenticate with your wallet:
+
+```bash
+# Authenticate
+orama auth login
+
+# Check authentication status
+orama auth whoami
+```
+
+Your API key is stored securely and used for all deployment operations.
+
+---
+
+## Deploying Static Sites
+
+Deploy static sites built with React, Vue, Angular, or any static site generator.
+
+### React/Vite Example
+
+```bash
+# 1. Build your React app
+cd my-react-app
+npm run build
+
+# 2. Deploy the build directory
+orama deploy static ./dist --name my-react-app --domain repoanalyzer.ai
+
+# Output:
+# 📦 Creating tarball from ./dist...
+# ☁️  Uploading to Orama Network...
+#
+# ✅ Deployment successful!
+#
+# Name:         my-react-app
+# Type:         static
+# Status:       active
+# Version:      1
+# Content CID:  QmXxxx...
+#
+# URLs:
+#   • https://my-react-app.orama.network
+```
+
+### What Happens Behind the Scenes
+
+1. **Tarball Creation**: CLI automatically creates a `.tar.gz` from your directory
+2. **IPFS Upload**: Files are uploaded to IPFS and pinned across the network
+3. **DNS Record**: A DNS record is created pointing `my-react-app.orama.network` to the gateway
+4. **Instant Serving**: Your app is immediately accessible via the URL
+
+### Features
+
+- ✅ **SPA Routing**: Unknown routes automatically serve `/index.html` (perfect for React Router)
+- ✅ **Correct Content-Types**: Automatically detects and serves `.html`, `.css`, `.js`, `.json`, `.png`, etc.
+- ✅ **Caching**: `Cache-Control: public, max-age=3600` headers for optimal performance
+- ✅ **Zero Downtime Updates**: Use `--update` flag to update without downtime
+
+### Updating a Deployment
+
+```bash
+# Make changes to your app
+# Rebuild
+npm run build
+
+# Update deployment
+orama deploy static ./dist --name my-react-app --update
+
+# Version increments automatically (1 → 2)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Deploying Next.js Applications
+
+Deploy Next.js apps with full SSR (Server-Side Rendering) support.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+> ⚠️ **IMPORTANT**: Your `next.config.js` MUST have `output: 'standalone'` for SSR deployments.
+
+```js
+// next.config.js
+/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
+const nextConfig = {
+  output: 'standalone',  // REQUIRED for SSR deployments
+}
+
+module.exports = nextConfig
+```
+
+This setting makes Next.js create a standalone build in `.next/standalone/` that can run without `node_modules`.
+
+### Next.js with SSR
+
+```bash
+# 1. Ensure next.config.js has output: 'standalone'
+
+# 2. Build your Next.js app
+cd my-nextjs-app
+npm run build
+
+# 3. Create tarball (must include .next and public directories)
+tar -czvf nextjs.tar.gz .next public package.json next.config.js
+
+# 4. Deploy with SSR enabled
+orama deploy nextjs ./nextjs.tar.gz --name my-nextjs --ssr
+
+# Output:
+# 📦 Creating tarball from .
+# ☁️  Uploading to Orama Network...
+#
+# ✅ Deployment successful!
+#
+# Name:         my-nextjs
+# Type:         nextjs
+# Status:       active
+# Version:      1
+# Port:         10100
+#
+# URLs:
+#   • https://my-nextjs.orama.network
+#
+# ⚠️  Note: SSR deployment may take a minute to start. Check status with: orama deployments get my-nextjs
+```
+
+### What Happens Behind the Scenes
+
+1. **Tarball Upload**: Your `.next` build directory, `package.json`, and `public` are uploaded
+2. **Home Node Assignment**: A node is chosen to host your app based on capacity
+3. **Port Allocation**: A unique port (10100-19999) is assigned
+4. **Systemd Service**: A systemd service is created to run `node server.js`
+5. **Health Checks**: Gateway monitors your app every 30 seconds
+6. **Reverse Proxy**: Gateway proxies requests from your domain to the local port
+
+### Static Next.js Export (No SSR)
+
+If you export Next.js to static HTML:
+
+```bash
+# next.config.js
+module.exports = {
+  output: 'export'
+}
+
+# Build and deploy as static
+npm run build
+orama deploy static ./out --name my-nextjs-static
+```
+
+---
+
+## Deploying Go Backends
+
+Deploy compiled Go binaries for high-performance APIs.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+> ⚠️ **IMPORTANT**: Your Go application MUST:
+> 1. Be compiled for Linux: `GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64`
+> 2. Listen on the port from `PORT` environment variable
+> 3. Implement a `/health` endpoint that returns HTTP 200 when ready
+
+### Go REST API Example
+
+```bash
+# 1. Build your Go binary for Linux (if on Mac/Windows)
+cd my-go-api
+GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o app main.go  # Name it 'app' for auto-detection
+
+# 2. Create tarball
+tar -czvf api.tar.gz app
+
+# 3. Deploy the binary
+orama deploy go ./api.tar.gz --name my-api
+
+# Output:
+# 📦 Creating tarball from ./api...
+# ☁️  Uploading to Orama Network...
+#
+# ✅ Deployment successful!
+#
+# Name:         my-api
+# Type:         go
+# Status:       active
+# Version:      1
+# Port:         10101
+#
+# URLs:
+#   • https://my-api.orama.network
+```
+
+### Example Go API Code
+
+```go
+// main.go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "encoding/json"
+    "log"
+    "net/http"
+    "os"
+)
+
+func main() {
+    port := os.Getenv("PORT")
+    if port == "" {
+        port = "8080"
+    }
+
+    http.HandleFunc("/health", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+        json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(map[string]string{"status": "healthy"})
+    })
+
+    http.HandleFunc("/api/users", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+        users := []map[string]interface{}{
+            {"id": 1, "name": "Alice"},
+            {"id": 2, "name": "Bob"},
+        }
+        json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(users)
+    })
+
+    log.Printf("Starting server on port %s", port)
+    log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":"+port, nil))
+}
+```
+
+### Important Notes
+
+- **Environment Variables**: The `PORT` environment variable is automatically set to your allocated port
+- **Health Endpoint**: **REQUIRED** - Must implement `/health` that returns HTTP 200 when ready
+- **Binary Requirements**: Must be Linux amd64 (`GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64`)
+- **Binary Naming**: Name your binary `app` for automatic detection, or any ELF executable will work
+- **Systemd Managed**: Runs as a systemd service with auto-restart on failure
+- **Port Range**: Allocated ports are in the range 10100-19999
+
+---
+
+## Deploying Node.js Backends
+
+Deploy Node.js/Express/TypeScript backends.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+> ⚠️ **IMPORTANT**: Your Node.js application MUST:
+> 1. Listen on the port from `PORT` environment variable
+> 2. Implement a `/health` endpoint that returns HTTP 200 when ready
+> 3. Have a valid `package.json` with either:
+>    - A `start` script (runs via `npm start`), OR
+>    - A `main` field pointing to entry file (runs via `node {main}`), OR
+>    - An `index.js` file (default fallback)
+
+### Express API Example
+
+```bash
+# 1. Build your Node.js app (if using TypeScript)
+cd my-node-api
+npm run build
+
+# 2. Create tarball (include package.json, your code, and optionally node_modules)
+tar -czvf api.tar.gz dist package.json package-lock.json
+
+# 3. Deploy
+orama deploy nodejs ./api.tar.gz --name my-node-api
+
+# Output:
+# 📦 Creating tarball from ./dist...
+# ☁️  Uploading to Orama Network...
+#
+# ✅ Deployment successful!
+#
+# Name:         my-node-api
+# Type:         nodejs
+# Status:       active
+# Version:      1
+# Port:         10102
+#
+# URLs:
+#   • https://my-node-api.orama.network
+```
+
+### Example Node.js API
+
+```javascript
+// server.js
+const express = require('express');
+const app = express();
+const port = process.env.PORT || 8080;
+
+app.get('/health', (req, res) => {
+  res.json({ status: 'healthy' });
+});
+
+app.get('/api/data', (req, res) => {
+  res.json({ message: 'Hello from Orama Network!' });
+});
+
+app.listen(port, () => {
+  console.log(`Server running on port ${port}`);
+});
+```
+
+### Important Notes
+
+- **Environment Variables**: The `PORT` environment variable is automatically set to your allocated port
+- **Health Endpoint**: **REQUIRED** - Must implement `/health` that returns HTTP 200 when ready
+- **Dependencies**: If `node_modules` is not included, `npm install --production` runs automatically
+- **Start Command Detection**:
+  1. If `package.json` has `scripts.start` → runs `npm start`
+  2. Else if `package.json` has `main` field → runs `node {main}`
+  3. Else → runs `node index.js`
+- **Systemd Managed**: Runs as a systemd service with auto-restart on failure
+

+
+## Managing SQLite Databases
+
+Each namespace gets its own isolated SQLite databases.
+
+### Creating a Database
+
+```bash
+# Create a new database
+orama db create my-database
+
+# Output:
+# ✅ Database created: my-database
+# Home Node: node-abc123
+# File Path: /home/debros/.orama/data/sqlite/your-namespace/my-database.db
+```
+
+### Executing Queries
+
+```bash
+# Create a table
+orama db query my-database "CREATE TABLE users (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT, email TEXT)"
+
+# Insert data
+orama db query my-database "INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES ('Alice', 'alice@example.com')"
+
+# Query data
+orama db query my-database "SELECT * FROM users"
+
+# Output:
+# 📊 Query Result
+# Rows: 1
+#
+# id              | name            | email
+# ----------------+-----------------+-------------------------
+# 1               | Alice           | alice@example.com
+```
+
+### Listing Databases
+
+```bash
+orama db list
+
+# Output:
+# NAME              SIZE        HOME NODE       CREATED
+# my-database       12.3 KB     node-abc123     2024-01-22 10:30
+# prod-database     1.2 MB      node-abc123     2024-01-20 09:15
+#
+# Total: 2
+```
+
+### Backing Up to IPFS
+
+```bash
+# Create a backup
+orama db backup my-database
+
+# Output:
+# ✅ Backup created
+# CID: QmYxxx...
+# Size: 12.3 KB
+
+# List backups
+orama db backups my-database
+
+# Output:
+# VERSION    CID               SIZE        DATE
+# 1          QmYxxx...         12.3 KB     2024-01-22 10:45
+# 2          QmZxxx...         15.1 KB     2024-01-22 14:20
+```
+
+### Database Features
+
+- ✅ **WAL Mode**: Write-Ahead Logging for better concurrency
+- ✅ **Namespace Isolation**: Complete separation between namespaces
+- ✅ **Automatic Backups**: Scheduled backups to IPFS every 6 hours
+- ✅ **ACID Transactions**: Full SQLite transactional support
+- ✅ **Concurrent Reads**: Multiple readers can query simultaneously
+
+---
+
+## How Domains Work
+
+### Domain Assignment
+
+When you deploy an application, it automatically gets a domain:
+
+```
+Format: {deployment-name}.orama.network
+Example: my-react-app.orama.network
+```
+
+### Node-Specific Domains (Optional)
+
+For direct access to a specific node:
+
+```
+Format: {deployment-name}.node-{shortID}.orama.network
+Example: my-react-app.node-LL1Qvu.orama.network
+```
+
+The `shortID` is derived from the node's peer ID (characters 9-14 of the full peer ID).
+For example: `12D3KooWLL1QvumH...` → `LL1Qvu`
+
+### DNS Resolution Flow
+
+1. **Client**: Browser requests `my-react-app.orama.network`
+2. **DNS**: CoreDNS server queries RQLite for DNS record
+3. **Record**: Returns IP address of a gateway node (round-robin across all nodes)
+4. **Gateway**: Receives request with `Host: my-react-app.orama.network` header
+5. **Routing**: Domain routing middleware looks up deployment by domain
+6. **Cross-Node Proxy**: If deployment is on a different node, request is forwarded
+7. **Response**:
+   - **Static**: Serves content from IPFS
+   - **Dynamic**: Reverse proxies to the app's local port
+
+### Cross-Node Routing
+
+DNS uses round-robin, so requests may hit any node in the cluster. If a deployment is hosted on a different node than the one receiving the request, the gateway automatically proxies the request to the correct home node.
+
+```

+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+This is **transparent to users** - your app works regardless of which node handles the initial request.
+
+### Custom Domains (Future Feature)
+
+Support for custom domains (e.g., `www.myapp.com`) with TXT record verification.
+
+---
+
+## Full-Stack Application Example
+
+Deploy a complete full-stack application with React frontend, Go backend, and SQLite database.

+```
+
+### Step 1: Create the Database
+
+```bash
+# Create database
+orama db create myapp-db
+
+# Create schema
+orama db query myapp-db "CREATE TABLE users (
+    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
+    name TEXT NOT NULL,
+    email TEXT UNIQUE NOT NULL,
+    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
+)"
+
+# Insert test data
+orama db query myapp-db "INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES ('Alice', 'alice@example.com')"
+```
+
+### Step 2: Deploy Go Backend
+
+**Backend Code** (`main.go`):
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "database/sql"
+    "encoding/json"
+    "log"
+    "net/http"
+    "os"
+
+    _ "github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3"
+)
+
+type User struct {
+    ID        int    `json:"id"`
+    Name      string `json:"name"`
+    Email     string `json:"email"`
+    CreatedAt string `json:"created_at"`
+}
+
+var db *sql.DB
+
+func main() {
+    // DATABASE_NAME env var is automatically set by Orama

+
+**Deploy Backend**:
+
+```bash
+# Build for Linux
+GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o api main.go
+
+# Deploy
+orama deploy go ./api --name myapp-api
+```
+
+### Step 3: Deploy React Frontend
+
+**Frontend Code** (`src/App.jsx`):
+
+```jsx
+import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
+
+function App() {
+  const [users, setUsers] = useState([]);
+  const [name, setName] = useState('');
+  const [email, setEmail] = useState('');
+
+  const API_URL = 'https://myapp-api.orama.network';
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    fetchUsers();
+  }, []);
+
+  const fetchUsers = async () => {
+    const response = await fetch(`${API_URL}/api/users`);
+    const data = await response.json();
+    setUsers(data);
+  };
+
+  const addUser = async (e) => {
+    e.preventDefault();
+    await fetch(`${API_URL}/api/users`, {
+      method: 'POST',
+      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+      body: JSON.stringify({ name, email }),
+    });
+    setName('');
+    setEmail('');
+    fetchUsers();
+  };
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <h1>Orama Network Full-Stack App</h1>
+
+      <h2>Add User</h2>
+      <form onSubmit={addUser}>
+        <input
+          value={name}
+          onChange={(e) => setName(e.target.value)}
+          placeholder="Name"
+          required
+        />
+        <input
+          value={email}
+          onChange={(e) => setEmail(e.target.value)}
+          placeholder="Email"
+          type="email"
+          required
+        />
+        <button type="submit">Add User</button>
+      </form>
+
+      <h2>Users</h2>
+      <ul>
+        {users.map((user) => (
+          <li key={user.id}>
+            {user.name} - {user.email}
+          </li>
+        ))}
+      </ul>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+
+export default App;
+```
+
+**Deploy Frontend**:
+
+```bash
+# Build
+npm run build
+
+# Deploy
+orama deploy static ./dist --name myapp
+```
+
+### Step 4: Access Your App
+
+Open your browser to:
+- **Frontend**: `https://myapp.orama.network`
+- **Backend API**: `https://myapp-api.orama.network/api/users`
+
+### Full-Stack Summary
+
+✅ **Frontend**: React app served from IPFS
+✅ **Backend**: Go API running on allocated port
+✅ **Database**: SQLite database with ACID transactions
+✅ **Domains**: Automatic DNS for both services
+✅ **Isolated**: All resources namespaced and secure

+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Deployment Issues
+
+**Problem**: Deployment status is "failed"
+
+```bash
+# Check deployment details
+orama deployments get my-app
+
+# View logs for errors
+orama deployments logs my-app
+
+# Common issues:
+# - Binary not compiled for Linux (GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64)
+# - Missing dependencies (node_modules not included)
+# - Port already in use (shouldn't happen, but check logs)
+# - Health check failing (ensure /health endpoint exists)
+```
+
+**Problem**: Can't access deployment URL
+
+```bash
+# 1. Check deployment status
+orama deployments get my-app
+
+# 2. Verify DNS (may take up to 10 seconds to propagate)
+dig my-app.orama.network
+
+# 3. For local development, add to /etc/hosts
+echo "127.0.0.1 my-app.orama.network" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
+
+# 4. Test with Host header
+curl -H "Host: my-app.orama.network" http://localhost:6001/
+```
+
+### Database Issues
+
+**Problem**: Database not found
+
+```bash
+# List all databases
+orama db list
+
+# Ensure database name matches exactly (case-sensitive)
+# Databases are namespace-isolated
+```
+
+**Problem**: SQL query fails
+
+```bash
+# Check table exists
+orama db query my-db "SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table'"
+
+# Check syntax
+orama db query my-db ".schema users"
+```
+
+### Authentication Issues
+
+```bash
+# Re-authenticate
+orama auth logout
+orama auth login
+
+# Check token validity
+orama auth status
+```
+
+### Need Help?
+
+- **Documentation**: Check `/docs` directory
+- **Logs**: Gateway logs at `~/.orama/logs/gateway.log`
+- **Issues**: Report bugs at GitHub repository
+- **Community**: Join our Discord/Telegram
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Security
+
+1. **Never commit sensitive data**: Use environment variables for secrets
+2. **Validate inputs**: Always sanitize user input in your backend
+3. **HTTPS only**: All deployments automatically use HTTPS in production
+4. **CORS**: Configure CORS appropriately for your API
+
+### Performance
+
+1. **Optimize builds**: Minimize bundle sizes (React, Next.js)
+2. **Use caching**: Leverage browser caching for static assets
+3. **Database indexes**: Add indexes to frequently queried columns
+4. **Health checks**: Implement `/health` endpoint for monitoring
+
+### Deployment Workflow
+
+1. **Test locally first**: Ensure your app works before deploying
+2. **Use version control**: Track changes in Git
+3. **Incremental updates**: Use `--update` flag instead of delete + redeploy
+4. **Backup databases**: Regular backups via `orama db backup`
+5. **Monitor logs**: Check logs after deployment for errors
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- **Explore the API**: See `/docs/GATEWAY_API.md` for HTTP API details
+- **Advanced Features**: Custom domains, load balancing, autoscaling (coming soon)
+- **Production Deployment**: Install nodes with `orama install` for production clusters
+- **Client SDK**: Use the Go/JS SDK for programmatic deployments
+
+---
+
+**Orama Network** - Decentralized Application Platform
+
+Deploy anywhere. Access everywhere. Own everything.

+# Devnet Installation Commands
+
+This document contains example installation commands for a multi-node devnet cluster.
+
+**Wallet:** `<YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS>`
+**Contact:** `@anon: <YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS>`
+
+## Node Configuration
+
+| Node | Role | Nameserver | Anyone Relay |
+|------|------|------------|--------------|
+| ns1 | Genesis | Yes | No |
+| ns2 | Nameserver | Yes | Yes (relay-1) |
+| ns3 | Nameserver | Yes | Yes (relay-2) |
+| node4 | Worker | No | Yes (relay-3) |
+| node5 | Worker | No | Yes (relay-4) |
+| node6 | Worker | No | No |
+
+**Note:** Store credentials securely (not in version control).
+
+## MyFamily Fingerprints
+
+If running multiple Anyone relays, configure MyFamily with all your relay fingerprints:
+```
+<FINGERPRINT_1>,<FINGERPRINT_2>,<FINGERPRINT_3>,...
+```
+
+## Installation Order
+
+Install nodes **one at a time**, waiting for each to complete before starting the next:
+
+1. ns1 (genesis, no Anyone relay)
+2. ns2 (nameserver + relay)
+3. ns3 (nameserver + relay)
+4. node4 (non-nameserver + relay)
+5. node5 (non-nameserver + relay)
+6. node6 (non-nameserver, no relay)
+
+## ns1 - Genesis Node (No Anyone Relay)
+
+```bash
+# SSH: <user>@<ns1-ip>
+
+sudo orama install --no-pull --pre-built \
+  --vps-ip <ns1-ip> \
+  --domain <your-domain.com> \
+  --base-domain <your-domain.com> \
+  --nameserver
+```
+
+After ns1 is installed, generate invite tokens:
+```bash
+orama invite --expiry 24h
+```
+
+## ns2 - Nameserver + Relay
+
+```bash
+# SSH: <user>@<ns2-ip>
+
+sudo orama install --no-pull --pre-built \
+  --join http://<ns1-ip> --token <TOKEN> \
+  --vps-ip <ns2-ip> \
+  --domain <your-domain.com> \
+  --base-domain <your-domain.com> \
+  --nameserver \
+  --anyone-relay --anyone-migrate \
+  --anyone-nickname <relay-name> \
+  --anyone-wallet <wallet-address> \
+  --anyone-contact "<contact-info>" \
+  --anyone-family "<fingerprint1>,<fingerprint2>,..."
+```
+
+## ns3 - Nameserver + Relay
+
+```bash
+# SSH: <user>@<ns3-ip>
+
+sudo orama install --no-pull --pre-built \
+  --join http://<ns1-ip> --token <TOKEN> \
+  --vps-ip <ns3-ip> \
+  --domain <your-domain.com> \
+  --base-domain <your-domain.com> \
+  --nameserver \
+  --anyone-relay --anyone-migrate \
+  --anyone-nickname <relay-name> \
+  --anyone-wallet <wallet-address> \
+  --anyone-contact "<contact-info>" \
+  --anyone-family "<fingerprint1>,<fingerprint2>,..."
+```
+
+## node4 - Non-Nameserver + Relay
+
+```bash
+# SSH: <user>@<node4-ip>
+
+sudo orama install --no-pull --pre-built \
+  --join http://<ns1-ip> --token <TOKEN> \
+  --vps-ip <node4-ip> \
+  --domain node4.<your-domain.com> \
+  --base-domain <your-domain.com> \
+  --skip-checks \
+  --anyone-relay --anyone-migrate \
+  --anyone-nickname <relay-name> \
+  --anyone-wallet <wallet-address> \
+  --anyone-contact "<contact-info>" \
+  --anyone-family "<fingerprint1>,<fingerprint2>,..."
+```
+
+## node5 - Non-Nameserver + Relay
+
+```bash
+# SSH: <user>@<node5-ip>
+
+sudo orama install --no-pull --pre-built \
+  --join http://<ns1-ip> --token <TOKEN> \
+  --vps-ip <node5-ip> \
+  --domain node5.<your-domain.com> \
+  --base-domain <your-domain.com> \
+  --skip-checks \

+  --anyone-nickname <relay-name> \
+  --anyone-wallet <wallet-address> \
+  --anyone-contact "<contact-info>" \
+  --anyone-family "<fingerprint1>,<fingerprint2>,..."
+```
+
+## node6 - Non-Nameserver (No Anyone Relay)
+
+```bash
+# SSH: <user>@<node6-ip>
+
+sudo orama install --no-pull --pre-built \
+  --join http://<ns1-ip> --token <TOKEN> \
+  --vps-ip <node6-ip> \
+  --domain node6.<your-domain.com> \
+  --base-domain <your-domain.com> \
+  --skip-checks
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+After all nodes are installed, verify cluster health:
+
+```bash
+# Check RQLite cluster (from any node)
+curl -s http://localhost:5001/status | jq -r '.store.raft.state, .store.raft.num_peers'
+# Should show: Leader (on one node) and N-1 peers
+
+# Check gateway health
+curl -s http://localhost:6001/health
+
+# Check Anyone relay (on nodes with relays)
+systemctl status debros-anyone-relay
+```

+# Development Guide
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Go 1.21+
+- Node.js 18+ (for anyone-client in dev mode)
+- macOS or Linux
+
+## Building
+
+```bash
+# Build all binaries
+make build
+
+# Outputs:
+#   bin/orama-node   — the node binary
+#   bin/orama        — the CLI
+#   bin/gateway      — standalone gateway (optional)
+#   bin/identity     — identity tool
+#   bin/rqlite-mcp   — RQLite MCP server
+```
+
+## Running Tests
+
+```bash
+make test
+```
+
+## Running Locally (macOS)
+
+The node runs in "direct mode" on macOS — processes are managed directly instead of via systemd.
+
+```bash
+# Start a single node
+make run-node
+
+# Start multiple nodes for cluster testing
+make run-node2
+make run-node3
+```
+
+## Deploying to VPS
+
+There are two deployment workflows: **development** (fast iteration, no git required) and **production** (via git).
+
+### Development Deployment (Fast Iteration)
+
+Use this when iterating quickly — no need to commit or push to git.
+
+```bash
+# 1. Build the CLI for Linux
+GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o orama-cli-linux ./cmd/cli
+
+# 2. Generate a source archive (excludes .git, node_modules, bin/, etc.)
+./scripts/generate-source-archive.sh
+# Creates: /tmp/network-source.tar.gz
+
+# 3. Copy CLI and source to the VPS
+sshpass -p '<password>' scp -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no orama-cli-linux ubuntu@<ip>:/tmp/orama
+sshpass -p '<password>' scp -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no /tmp/network-source.tar.gz ubuntu@<ip>:/tmp/
+
+# 4. On the VPS: extract source and install the CLI
+ssh ubuntu@<ip>
+sudo rm -rf /home/debros/src && sudo mkdir -p /home/debros/src
+sudo tar xzf /tmp/network-source.tar.gz -C /home/debros/src
+sudo chown -R debros:debros /home/debros/src
+sudo mv /tmp/orama /usr/local/bin/orama && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/orama
+
+# 5. Upgrade using local source (skips git pull)
+sudo orama upgrade --no-pull --restart
+```
+
+### Development Deployment with Pre-Built Binaries (Fastest)
+
+Cross-compile everything locally and skip all Go compilation on the VPS. This is significantly faster because your local machine compiles much faster than the VPS.
+
+```bash
+# 1. Cross-compile all binaries for Linux (DeBros + Olric + CoreDNS + Caddy)
+make build-linux-all
+# Outputs everything to bin-linux/
+
+# 2. Generate a single deploy archive (source + pre-built binaries)
+./scripts/generate-source-archive.sh
+# Creates: /tmp/network-source.tar.gz (includes bin-linux/ if present)
+
+# 3. Copy the single archive to the VPS
+sshpass -p '<password>' scp -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no /tmp/network-source.tar.gz ubuntu@<ip>:/tmp/
+
+# 4. Extract and install everything on the VPS
+sshpass -p '<password>' ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no ubuntu@<ip> \
+    'sudo bash -s' < scripts/extract-deploy.sh
+
+# 5. Install/upgrade with --pre-built (skips ALL Go compilation on VPS)
+sudo orama install --no-pull --pre-built --vps-ip <ip> ...
+# or
+sudo orama upgrade --no-pull --pre-built --restart
+```
+
+**What `--pre-built` skips:** Go installation, `make build`, Olric `go install`, CoreDNS build, Caddy/xcaddy build.
+
+**What `--pre-built` still runs:** apt dependencies, RQLite/IPFS/IPFS Cluster downloads (pre-built binary downloads, fast), Anyone relay setup, config generation, systemd service creation.
+
+### Production Deployment (Via Git)
+
+For production releases — pulls source from GitHub on the VPS.
+
+```bash
+# 1. Commit and push your changes
+git push origin <branch>
+
+# 2. Build the CLI for Linux
+GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o orama-cli-linux ./cmd/cli
+
+# 3. Deploy the CLI to the VPS
+sshpass -p '<password>' scp orama-cli-linux ubuntu@<ip>:/tmp/orama
+ssh ubuntu@<ip> "sudo mv /tmp/orama /usr/local/bin/orama && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/orama"
+
+# 4. Run upgrade (downloads source from GitHub)
+ssh ubuntu@<ip> "sudo orama upgrade --branch <branch> --restart"
+```
+
+### Upgrading a Multi-Node Cluster (CRITICAL)
+
+**NEVER restart all nodes simultaneously.** RQLite uses Raft consensus and requires a majority (quorum) to function. Restarting all nodes at once can cause cluster splits where nodes elect different leaders or form isolated clusters.
+
+#### Safe Upgrade Procedure (Rolling Restart)
+
+Always upgrade nodes **one at a time**, waiting for each to rejoin before proceeding:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Build locally
+make build-linux-all
+./scripts/generate-source-archive.sh
+# Creates: /tmp/network-source.tar.gz (includes bin-linux/)
+
+# 2. Upload to ONE node first (the "hub" node)
+sshpass -p '<password>' scp /tmp/network-source.tar.gz ubuntu@<hub-ip>:/tmp/
+
+# 3. Fan out from hub to all other nodes (server-to-server is faster)
+ssh ubuntu@<hub-ip>
+for ip in <ip2> <ip3> <ip4> <ip5> <ip6>; do
+  scp /tmp/network-source.tar.gz ubuntu@$ip:/tmp/
+done
+exit
+
+# 4. Extract on ALL nodes (can be done in parallel, no restart yet)
+for ip in <ip1> <ip2> <ip3> <ip4> <ip5> <ip6>; do
+  ssh ubuntu@$ip 'sudo bash -s' < scripts/extract-deploy.sh
+done
+
+# 5. Find the RQLite leader (upgrade this one LAST)
+ssh ubuntu@<any-node> 'curl -s http://localhost:5001/status | jq -r .store.raft.state'
+
+# 6. Upgrade FOLLOWER nodes one at a time
+# First stop services, then upgrade, which restarts them
+ssh ubuntu@<follower-ip> 'sudo orama prod stop && sudo orama upgrade --no-pull --pre-built --restart'
+
+# Wait for rejoin before proceeding to next node
+ssh ubuntu@<leader-ip> 'curl -s http://localhost:5001/status | jq -r .store.raft.num_peers'
+# Should show expected number of peers (N-1)
+
+# Repeat for each follower...
+
+# 7. Upgrade the LEADER node last
+ssh ubuntu@<leader-ip> 'sudo orama prod stop && sudo orama upgrade --no-pull --pre-built --restart'
+```
+
+#### What NOT to Do
+
+- **DON'T** stop all nodes, replace binaries, then start all nodes
+- **DON'T** run `orama upgrade --restart` on multiple nodes in parallel
+- **DON'T** clear RQLite data directories unless doing a full cluster rebuild
+- **DON'T** use `systemctl stop debros-node` on multiple nodes simultaneously
+
+#### Recovery from Cluster Split
+
+If nodes get stuck in "Candidate" state or show "leader not found" errors:
+
+1. Identify which node has the most recent data (usually the old leader)
+2. Keep that node running as the new leader
+3. On each other node, clear RQLite data and restart:
+   ```bash
+   sudo orama prod stop
+   sudo rm -rf /home/debros/.orama/data/rqlite
+   sudo systemctl start debros-node
+   ```
+4. The node should automatically rejoin using its configured `rqlite_join_address`
+
+If automatic rejoin fails, the node may have started without the `-join` flag. Check:
+```bash
+ps aux | grep rqlited
+# Should include: -join 10.0.0.1:7001 (or similar)
+```
+
+If `-join` is missing, the node bootstrapped standalone. You'll need to either:
+- Restart debros-node (it should detect empty data and use join)
+- Or do a full cluster rebuild from CLEAN_NODE.md
+
+### Deploying to Multiple Nodes
+
+To deploy to all nodes, repeat steps 3-5 (dev) or 3-4 (production) for each VPS IP.
+
+**Important:** When using `--restart`, do nodes one at a time (see "Upgrading a Multi-Node Cluster" above).
+
+### CLI Flags Reference
+
+#### `orama install`
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `--vps-ip <ip>` | VPS public IP address (required) |
+| `--domain <domain>` | Domain for HTTPS certificates. Nameserver nodes use the base domain (e.g., `example.com`); non-nameserver nodes use a subdomain (e.g., `node-4.example.com`) |
+| `--base-domain <domain>` | Base domain for deployment routing (e.g., example.com) |
+| `--nameserver` | Configure this node as a nameserver (CoreDNS + Caddy) |
+| `--join <url>` | Join existing cluster via HTTPS URL (e.g., `https://node1.example.com`) |
+| `--token <token>` | Invite token for joining (from `orama invite` on existing node) |
+| `--branch <branch>` | Git branch to use (default: main) |
+| `--no-pull` | Skip git clone/pull, use existing `/home/debros/src` |
+| `--pre-built` | Skip all Go compilation, use pre-built binaries already on disk (see above) |
+| `--force` | Force reconfiguration even if already installed |
+| `--skip-firewall` | Skip UFW firewall setup |
+| `--skip-checks` | Skip minimum resource checks (RAM/CPU) |
+| `--anyone-relay` | Install and configure an Anyone relay on this node |
+| `--anyone-migrate` | Migrate existing Anyone relay installation (preserves keys/fingerprint) |
+| `--anyone-nickname <name>` | Relay nickname (required for relay mode) |
+| `--anyone-wallet <addr>` | Ethereum wallet for relay rewards (required for relay mode) |
+| `--anyone-contact <info>` | Contact info for relay (required for relay mode) |
+| `--anyone-family <fps>` | Comma-separated fingerprints of related relays (MyFamily) |
+| `--anyone-orport <port>` | ORPort for relay (default: 9001) |
+| `--anyone-exit` | Configure as an exit relay (default: non-exit) |
+
+#### `orama invite`
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `--expiry <duration>` | Token expiry duration (default: 1h, e.g. `--expiry 24h`) |
+
+**Important notes about invite tokens:**
+
+- **Tokens are single-use.** Once a node consumes a token during the join handshake, it cannot be reused. Generate a separate token for each node you want to join.
+- **Expiry is checked in UTC.** RQLite uses `datetime('now')` which is always UTC. If your local timezone differs, account for the offset when choosing expiry durations.
+- **Use longer expiry for multi-node deployments.** When deploying multiple nodes, use `--expiry 24h` to avoid tokens expiring mid-deployment.
+
+#### `orama upgrade`
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `--branch <branch>` | Git branch to pull from |
+| `--no-pull` | Skip git pull, use existing source |
+| `--pre-built` | Skip all Go compilation, use pre-built binaries already on disk |
+| `--restart` | Restart all services after upgrade |
+
+#### `orama prod` (Service Management)
+
+Use these commands to manage services on production nodes:
+
+```bash
+# Stop all services (debros-node, coredns, caddy)
+sudo orama prod stop
+
+# Start all services
+sudo orama prod start
+
+# Restart all services
+sudo orama prod restart
+
+# Check service status
+sudo orama prod status
+```
+
+**Note:** Always use `orama prod stop` instead of manually running `systemctl stop`. The CLI ensures all related services (including CoreDNS and Caddy on nameserver nodes) are handled correctly.
+
+### Node Join Flow
+
+```bash
+# 1. Genesis node (first node, creates cluster)
+# Nameserver nodes use the base domain as --domain
+sudo orama install --vps-ip 1.2.3.4 --domain example.com \
+    --base-domain example.com --nameserver
+
+# 2. On genesis node, generate an invite
+orama invite
+# Output: sudo orama install --join https://example.com --token <TOKEN> --vps-ip <IP>
+
+# 3. On the new node, run the printed command
+# Nameserver nodes use the base domain; non-nameserver nodes use subdomains (e.g., node-4.example.com)
+sudo orama install --join https://example.com --token abc123... \
+    --vps-ip 5.6.7.8 --domain example.com --base-domain example.com --nameserver
+```
+
+The join flow establishes a WireGuard VPN tunnel before starting cluster services.
+All inter-node communication (RQLite, IPFS, Olric) uses WireGuard IPs (10.0.0.x).
+No cluster ports are ever exposed publicly.
+
+#### DNS Prerequisite
+
+The `--join` URL should use the HTTPS domain of the genesis node (e.g., `https://node1.example.com`).
+For this to work, the domain registrar for `example.com` must have NS records pointing to the genesis
+node's IP so that `node1.example.com` resolves publicly.
+
+**If DNS is not yet configured**, you can use the genesis node's public IP with HTTP as a fallback:
+
+```bash
+sudo orama install --join http://1.2.3.4 --vps-ip 5.6.7.8 --token abc123... --nameserver
+```
+
+This works because Caddy's `:80` block proxies all HTTP traffic to the gateway. However, once DNS
+is properly configured, always use the HTTPS domain URL.
+
+**Important:** Never use `http://<ip>:6001` — port 6001 is the internal gateway and is blocked by
+UFW from external access. The join request goes through Caddy on port 80 (HTTP) or 443 (HTTPS),
+which proxies to the gateway internally.
+
+## Pre-Install Checklist
+
+Before running `orama install` on a VPS, ensure:
+
+1. **Stop Docker if running.** Docker commonly binds ports 4001 and 8080 which conflict with IPFS. The installer checks for port conflicts and shows which process is using each port, but it's easier to stop Docker first:
+   ```bash
+   sudo systemctl stop docker docker.socket
+   sudo systemctl disable docker docker.socket
+   ```
+
+2. **Stop any existing IPFS instance.**
+   ```bash
+   sudo systemctl stop ipfs
+   ```
+
+3. **Ensure `make` is installed.** Required for building CoreDNS and Caddy from source:
+   ```bash
+   sudo apt-get install -y make
+   ```
+
+4. **Stop any service on port 53** (for nameserver nodes). The installer handles `systemd-resolved` automatically, but other DNS services (like `bind9` or `dnsmasq`) must be stopped manually.
+
+## Recovering from Failed Joins
+
+If a node partially joins the cluster (registers in RQLite's Raft but then fails or gets cleaned), the remaining cluster can lose quorum permanently. This happens because RQLite thinks there are N voters but only N-1 are reachable.
+
+**Symptoms:** RQLite stuck in "Candidate" state, no leader elected, all writes fail.
+
+**Solution:** Do a full clean reinstall of all affected nodes. Use [CLEAN_NODE.md](CLEAN_NODE.md) to reset each node, then reinstall starting from the genesis node.
+
+**Prevention:** Always ensure a joining node can complete the full installation before it joins. The installer validates port availability upfront to catch conflicts early.
+
+## Debugging Production Issues
+
+Always follow the local-first approach:
+
+1. **Reproduce locally** — set up the same conditions on your machine
+2. **Find the root cause** — understand why it's happening
+3. **Fix in the codebase** — make changes to the source code
+4. **Test locally** — run `make test` and verify
+5. **Deploy** — only then deploy the fix to production
+
+Never fix issues directly on the server — those fixes are lost on next deployment.
+
+## Trusting the Self-Signed TLS Certificate
+
+When Let's Encrypt is rate-limited, Caddy falls back to its internal CA (self-signed certificates). Browsers will show security warnings unless you install the root CA certificate.
+
+### Downloading the Root CA Certificate
+
+From VPS 1 (or any node), copy the certificate:
+
+```bash
+# Copy the cert to an accessible location on the VPS
+ssh ubuntu@<VPS_IP> "sudo cp /var/lib/caddy/.local/share/caddy/pki/authorities/local/root.crt /tmp/caddy-root-ca.crt && sudo chmod 644 /tmp/caddy-root-ca.crt"
+
+# Download to your local machine
+scp ubuntu@<VPS_IP>:/tmp/caddy-root-ca.crt ~/Downloads/caddy-root-ca.crt
+```
+
+### macOS
+
+```bash
+sudo security add-trusted-cert -d -r trustRoot -k /Library/Keychains/System.keychain ~/Downloads/caddy-root-ca.crt
+```
+
+This adds the cert system-wide. All browsers (Safari, Chrome, Arc, etc.) will trust it immediately. Firefox uses its own certificate store — go to **Settings > Privacy & Security > Certificates > View Certificates > Import** and import the `.crt` file there.
+
+To remove it later:
+```bash
+sudo security remove-trusted-cert -d ~/Downloads/caddy-root-ca.crt
+```
+
+### iOS (iPhone/iPad)
+
+1. Transfer `caddy-root-ca.crt` to your device (AirDrop, email attachment, or host it on a URL)
+2. Open the file — iOS will show "Profile Downloaded"
+3. Go to **Settings > General > VPN & Device Management** (or "Profiles" on older iOS)
+4. Tap the "Caddy Local Authority" profile and tap **Install**
+5. Go to **Settings > General > About > Certificate Trust Settings**
+6. Enable **full trust** for "Caddy Local Authority - 2026 ECC Root"
+
+### Android
+
+1. Transfer `caddy-root-ca.crt` to your device
+2. Go to **Settings > Security > Encryption & Credentials > Install a certificate > CA certificate**
+3. Select the `caddy-root-ca.crt` file
+4. Confirm the installation
+
+Note: On Android 7+, user-installed CA certificates are only trusted by apps that explicitly opt in. Chrome will trust it, but some apps may not.
+
+### Windows
+
+```powershell
+certutil -addstore -f "ROOT" caddy-root-ca.crt
+```
+
+Or double-click the `.crt` file > **Install Certificate** > **Local Machine** > **Place in "Trusted Root Certification Authorities"**.
+
+### Linux
+
+```bash
+sudo cp caddy-root-ca.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/caddy-root-ca.crt
+sudo update-ca-certificates
+```

-## Overview
-
-The Orama Network Gateway provides a unified HTTP/HTTPS API for all network services. It handles authentication, routing, and service coordination.
-
-**Base URL:** `https://api.orama.network` (production) or `http://localhost:6001` (development)
-
-## Authentication

+# Nameserver Setup Guide
+
+This guide explains how to configure your domain registrar to use Orama Network nodes as authoritative nameservers.
+
+## Overview
+
+When you install Orama with the `--nameserver` flag, the node runs CoreDNS to serve DNS records for your domain. This enables:
+
+- Dynamic DNS for deployments (e.g., `myapp.node-abc123.dbrs.space`)
+- Wildcard DNS support for all subdomains
+- ACME DNS-01 challenges for automatic SSL certificates
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before setting up nameservers, you need:
+
+1. **Domain ownership** - A domain you control (e.g., `dbrs.space`)
+2. **3+ VPS nodes** - Recommended for redundancy
+3. **Static IP addresses** - Each VPS must have a static public IP
+4. **Access to registrar DNS settings** - Admin access to your domain registrar
+
+## Understanding DNS Records
+
+### NS Records (Nameserver Records)
+NS records tell the internet which servers are authoritative for your domain:
+```
+dbrs.space.  IN  NS  ns1.dbrs.space.
+dbrs.space.  IN  NS  ns2.dbrs.space.
+dbrs.space.  IN  NS  ns3.dbrs.space.
+```
+
+### Glue Records
+Glue records are A records that provide IP addresses for nameservers that are under the same domain. They're required because:
+- `ns1.dbrs.space` is under `dbrs.space`
+- To resolve `ns1.dbrs.space`, you need to query `dbrs.space` nameservers
+- But those nameservers ARE `ns1.dbrs.space` - circular dependency!
+- Glue records break this cycle by providing IPs at the registry level
+
+```
+ns1.dbrs.space.  IN  A  141.227.165.168
+ns2.dbrs.space.  IN  A  141.227.165.154
+ns3.dbrs.space.  IN  A  141.227.156.51
+```
+
+## Installation
+
+### Step 1: Install Orama on Each VPS
+
+Install Orama with the `--nameserver` flag on each VPS that will serve as a nameserver:
+
+```bash
+# On VPS 1 (ns1)
+sudo orama install \
+  --nameserver \
+  --domain dbrs.space \
+  --vps-ip 141.227.165.168
+
+# On VPS 2 (ns2)
+sudo orama install \
+  --nameserver \
+  --domain dbrs.space \
+  --vps-ip 141.227.165.154
+
+# On VPS 3 (ns3)
+sudo orama install \
+  --nameserver \
+  --domain dbrs.space \
+  --vps-ip 141.227.156.51
+```
+
+### Step 2: Configure Your Registrar
+
+#### For Namecheap
+
+1. **Log into Namecheap Dashboard**
+   - Go to https://www.namecheap.com
+   - Navigate to **Domain List** → **Manage** (next to your domain)
+
+2. **Add Glue Records (Personal DNS Servers)**
+   - Go to **Advanced DNS** tab
+   - Scroll down to **Personal DNS Servers** section
+   - Click **Add Nameserver**
+   - Add each nameserver with its IP:
+     | Nameserver | IP Address |
+     |------------|------------|
+     | ns1.yourdomain.com | 141.227.165.168 |
+     | ns2.yourdomain.com | 141.227.165.154 |
+     | ns3.yourdomain.com | 141.227.156.51 |
+
+3. **Set Custom Nameservers**
+   - Go back to the **Domain** tab
+   - Under **Nameservers**, select **Custom DNS**
+   - Add your nameserver hostnames:
+     - ns1.yourdomain.com
+     - ns2.yourdomain.com
+     - ns3.yourdomain.com
+   - Click the green checkmark to save
+
+4. **Wait for Propagation**
+   - DNS changes can take 24-48 hours to propagate globally
+   - Most changes are visible within 1-4 hours
+
+#### For GoDaddy
+
+1. Log into GoDaddy account
+2. Go to **My Products** → **DNS** for your domain
+3. Under **Nameservers**, click **Change**
+4. Select **Enter my own nameservers**
+5. Add your nameserver hostnames
+6. For glue records, go to **DNS Management** → **Host Names**
+7. Add A records for ns1, ns2, ns3
+
+#### For Cloudflare (as Registrar)
+
+1. Log into Cloudflare Dashboard
+2. Go to **Domain Registration** → your domain
+3. Under **Nameservers**, change to custom
+4. Note: Cloudflare Registrar may require contacting support for glue records
+
+#### For Google Domains
+
+1. Log into Google Domains
+2. Select your domain → **DNS**
+3. Under **Name servers**, select **Use custom name servers**
+4. Add your nameserver hostnames
+5. For glue records, click **Add** under **Glue records**
+
+## Verification
+
+### Step 1: Verify NS Records
+
+After propagation, check that NS records are visible:
+
+```bash
+# Check NS records from Google DNS
+dig NS yourdomain.com @8.8.8.8
+
+# Expected output should show:
+# yourdomain.com.    IN  NS  ns1.yourdomain.com.
+# yourdomain.com.    IN  NS  ns2.yourdomain.com.
+# yourdomain.com.    IN  NS  ns3.yourdomain.com.
+```
+
+### Step 2: Verify Glue Records
+
+Check that glue records resolve:
+
+```bash
+# Check glue records
+dig A ns1.yourdomain.com @8.8.8.8
+dig A ns2.yourdomain.com @8.8.8.8
+dig A ns3.yourdomain.com @8.8.8.8
+
+# Each should return the correct IP address
+```
+
+### Step 3: Test CoreDNS
+
+Query your nameservers directly:
+
+```bash
+# Test a query against ns1
+dig @ns1.yourdomain.com test.yourdomain.com
+
+# Test wildcard resolution
+dig @ns1.yourdomain.com myapp.node-abc123.yourdomain.com
+```
+
+### Step 4: Verify from Multiple Locations
+
+Use online tools to verify global propagation:
+- https://dnschecker.org
+- https://www.whatsmydns.net
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### DNS Not Resolving
+
+1. **Check CoreDNS is running:**
+   ```bash
+   sudo systemctl status coredns
+   ```
+
+2. **Check CoreDNS logs:**
+   ```bash
+   sudo journalctl -u coredns -f
+   ```
+
+3. **Verify port 53 is open:**
+   ```bash
+   sudo ufw status
+   # Port 53 (TCP/UDP) should be allowed
+   ```
+
+4. **Test locally:**
+   ```bash
+   dig @localhost yourdomain.com
+   ```
+
+### Glue Records Not Propagating
+
+- Glue records are stored at the registry level, not DNS level
+- They can take longer to propagate (up to 48 hours)
+- Verify at your registrar that they were saved correctly
+- Some registrars require the domain to be using their nameservers first
+
+### SERVFAIL Errors
+
+Usually indicates CoreDNS configuration issues:
+
+1. Check Corefile syntax
+2. Verify RQLite connectivity
+3. Check firewall rules
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Firewall Rules
+
+Only expose necessary ports:
+
+```bash
+# Allow DNS from anywhere
+sudo ufw allow 53/tcp
+sudo ufw allow 53/udp
+
+# Restrict admin ports to internal network
+sudo ufw allow from 10.0.0.0/8 to any port 8080  # Health
+sudo ufw allow from 10.0.0.0/8 to any port 9153  # Metrics
+```
+
+### Rate Limiting
+
+Consider adding rate limiting to prevent DNS amplification attacks.
+This can be configured in the CoreDNS Corefile.
+
+## Multi-Node Coordination
+
+When running multiple nameservers:
+
+1. **All nodes share the same RQLite cluster** - DNS records are automatically synchronized
+2. **Install in order** - First node bootstraps, others join
+3. **Same domain configuration** - All nodes must use the same `--domain` value

-sudo fail2ban-client set sshd unbanip IP_ADDRESS
-```
-
-### Security Updates
-
-**Check for updates:**
-```bash
-apt list --upgradable
-```
-
-**Apply updates:**
-```bash
-sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
-```
-
-**Reboot if kernel updated:**
-```bash
-sudo reboot
-```

-## Security Improvements Completed
-
-### Before Security Audit:
-- ❌ No firewall enabled
-- ❌ rqlite database exposed to internet (port 5001, 7002)
-- ❌ IPFS cluster management exposed (port 9094, 9098)
-- ❌ Olric cache exposed (port 3322)
-- ❌ Root login enabled without restrictions (VPS 2, 3, 4)
-- ❌ No fail2ban on 3 out of 4 servers
-- ❌ 19-39 security updates pending
-
-### After Security Hardening:
-- ✅ UFW firewall enabled on all servers
-- ✅ Sensitive ports restricted to cluster IPs only
-- ✅ SSH hardened with key authentication
-- ✅ Fail2ban protecting all servers
-- ✅ All security updates applied
-- ✅ Let's Encrypt production certificates verified
-- ✅ Cluster communication tested and working
-- ✅ External access verified (HTTP/HTTPS only)
-
----
-
-## Recommended Next Steps (Optional)
-
-These were not implemented per your request but are recommended for future consideration:
-
-1. **VPN/Private Networking** - Use WireGuard or Tailscale for encrypted cluster communication instead of firewall rules
-2. **Automated Security Updates** - Enable unattended-upgrades for automatic security patches
-3. **Monitoring & Alerting** - Set up Prometheus/Grafana for service monitoring
-4. **Regular Security Audits** - Run `lynis` or `rkhunter` monthly for security checks
-
----
-
-## Important Notes
-
-### Let's Encrypt Configuration
-
-The Orama Network gateway uses **autocert** from Go's `golang.org/x/crypto/acme/autocert` package. The configuration is in:
-
-**File:** `/home/debros/.orama/configs/node.yaml`
-
-**Relevant settings:**
-```yaml
-http_gateway:
-  https:
-    enabled: true
-    domain: "node-kv4la8.debros.network"
-    auto_cert: true
-    cache_dir: "/home/debros/.orama/tls-cache"
-    http_port: 80
-    https_port: 443
-    email: "admin@node-kv4la8.debros.network"
-```
-
-**Important:** There is NO `letsencrypt_staging` flag set, which means it defaults to **production Let's Encrypt**. This is correct for production deployment.
-
-### Firewall Persistence
-
-UFW rules are persistent across reboots. The firewall will automatically start on boot.
-
-### SSH Key Access
-
-Both of your SSH keys are configured on all servers. You can access:
-- VPS 1: `ssh -i ~/.ssh/ssh-sotiris/id_ed25519 ubuntu@51.83.128.181`
-- VPS 2-4: `ssh -i ~/.ssh/ssh-sotiris/id_ed25519 root@IP_ADDRESS`
-
-Password authentication is still enabled as a fallback, but keys are recommended.
-
----
-
-## Emergency Access
-
-If you get locked out:
-
-1. **VPS Provider Console:** All major VPS providers offer web-based console access
-2. **Password Access:** Password auth is still enabled on all servers
-3. **SSH Keys:** Two keys configured for redundancy
-
-**Disable firewall temporarily (emergency only):**
-```bash
-sudo ufw disable
-# Fix the issue
-sudo ufw enable
-```
-
----
-
-## Verification Checklist
-
-Use this checklist to verify the security hardening:
-
-- [ ] All 4 servers have UFW firewall enabled
-- [ ] SSH is hardened (MaxAuthTries 3, X11Forwarding no)
-- [ ] Your SSH keys work on all servers
-- [ ] Fail2ban is running on all servers
-- [ ] Security updates are current
-- [ ] rqlite port 5001 is NOT accessible from internet
-- [ ] rqlite port 7002 is NOT accessible from internet
-- [ ] IPFS cluster ports 9094, 9098 are NOT accessible from internet
-- [ ] Domains are accessible via HTTPS with valid certificates
-- [ ] RQLite cluster shows all 4 nodes
-- [ ] IPFS cluster shows all 4 peers
-- [ ] All services are running (5 processes per server)

-## Changelog
-
-### January 18, 2026 - Production Security Hardening
-
-**Changes:**
-1. Added UFW firewall rules on all 4 VPS servers
-2. Restricted sensitive ports (5001, 7002, 9094, 9098, 3322, 4101) to cluster IPs only
-3. Hardened SSH configuration
-4. Added your 2 SSH keys to all servers
-5. Installed fail2ban on VPS 1, 2, 3 (VPS 4 already had it)
-6. Applied all pending security updates (23-39 packages per server)
-7. Verified Let's Encrypt is using production (not staging)
-8. Tested all services: rqlite, IPFS, libp2p, Olric clusters
-9. Verified all 4 domains are accessible via HTTPS
-
-**Result:** Production-ready secure deployment ✅

+# CoreDNS RQLite Plugin
+
+This directory contains a custom CoreDNS plugin that serves DNS records from RQLite, enabling dynamic DNS for Orama Network deployments.
+
+## Architecture
+
+The plugin provides:
+- **Dynamic DNS Records**: Queries RQLite for DNS records in real-time
+- **Caching**: In-memory cache to reduce database load
+- **Health Monitoring**: Periodic health checks of RQLite connection
+- **Wildcard Support**: Handles wildcard DNS patterns (e.g., `*.node-xyz.orama.network`)
+
+## Building CoreDNS with RQLite Plugin
+
+CoreDNS plugins must be compiled into the binary. Follow these steps:
+
+### 1. Install Prerequisites
+
+```bash
+# Install Go 1.21 or later
+wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.21.6.linux-amd64.tar.gz
+sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
+sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.21.6.linux-amd64.tar.gz
+export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
+
+# Verify Go installation
+go version
+```
+
+### 2. Clone CoreDNS
+
+```bash
+cd /tmp
+git clone https://github.com/coredns/coredns.git
+cd coredns
+git checkout v1.11.1  # Match the version in install script
+```
+
+### 3. Add RQLite Plugin
+
+Edit `plugin.cfg` in the CoreDNS root directory and add the rqlite plugin in the appropriate position (after `cache`, before `forward`):
+
+```
+# plugin.cfg
+cache:cache
+rqlite:github.com/DeBrosOfficial/network/pkg/coredns/rqlite
+forward:forward
+```
+
+### 4. Copy Plugin Code
+
+```bash
+# From your network repository root
+cd /path/to/network
+cp -r pkg/coredns/rqlite /tmp/coredns/plugin/
+```
+
+### 5. Update go.mod
+
+```bash
+cd /tmp/coredns
+
+# Add your module as a dependency
+go mod edit -replace github.com/DeBrosOfficial/network=/path/to/network
+
+# Get dependencies
+go get github.com/DeBrosOfficial/network/pkg/coredns/rqlite
+go mod tidy
+```
+
+### 6. Build CoreDNS
+
+```bash
+make
+```
+
+This creates the `coredns` binary in the current directory with the RQLite plugin compiled in.
+
+### 7. Verify Plugin
+
+```bash
+./coredns -plugins | grep rqlite
+```
+
+You should see:
+```
+dns.rqlite
+```
+
+## Installation on Nodes
+
+### Using the Install Script
+
+```bash
+# Build custom CoreDNS first (see above)
+# Then copy the binary to the network repo
+cp /tmp/coredns/coredns /path/to/network/bin/
+
+# Run install script on each node
+cd /path/to/network
+sudo ./scripts/install-coredns.sh
+
+# The script will:
+# 1. Copy coredns binary to /usr/local/bin/
+# 2. Create config directories
+# 3. Install systemd service
+# 4. Set up proper permissions
+```
+
+### Manual Installation
+
+If you prefer manual installation:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Copy binary
+sudo cp coredns /usr/local/bin/
+sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/coredns
+
+# 2. Create directories
+sudo mkdir -p /etc/coredns
+sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/coredns
+sudo chown debros:debros /var/lib/coredns
+
+# 3. Copy configuration
+sudo cp configs/coredns/Corefile /etc/coredns/
+
+# 4. Install systemd service
+sudo cp configs/coredns/coredns.service /etc/systemd/system/
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+
+# 5. Configure firewall
+sudo ufw allow 53/tcp
+sudo ufw allow 53/udp
+sudo ufw allow 8080/tcp  # Health check
+sudo ufw allow 9153/tcp  # Metrics
+
+# 6. Start service
+sudo systemctl enable coredns
+sudo systemctl start coredns
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Corefile
+
+The Corefile at `/etc/coredns/Corefile` configures CoreDNS behavior:
+
+```corefile
+orama.network {
+    rqlite {
+        dsn http://localhost:5001    # RQLite HTTP endpoint
+        refresh 10s                   # Health check interval
+        ttl 300                       # Cache TTL in seconds
+        cache_size 10000              # Max cached entries
+    }
+
+    cache {
+        success 10000 300             # Cache successful responses
+        denial 5000 60                # Cache NXDOMAIN responses
+        prefetch 10                   # Prefetch before expiry
+    }
+
+    log { class denial error }
+    errors
+    health :8080
+    prometheus :9153
+}
+
+. {
+    forward . 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 1.1.1.1
+    cache 300
+    errors
+}
+```
+
+### RQLite Connection
+
+Ensure RQLite is running and accessible:
+
+```bash
+# Test RQLite connectivity
+curl http://localhost:5001/status
+
+# Test DNS record query
+curl -G http://localhost:5001/db/query \
+  --data-urlencode 'q=SELECT * FROM dns_records LIMIT 5'
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+### 1. Add Test DNS Record
+
+```bash
+# Via RQLite
+curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:5001/db/execute' \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '[
+    ["INSERT INTO dns_records (fqdn, record_type, value, ttl, namespace, created_by, is_active) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)",
+     "test.orama.network.", "A", "1.2.3.4", 300, "test", "system", true]
+  ]'
+```
+
+### 2. Query CoreDNS
+
+```bash
+# Query local CoreDNS
+dig @localhost test.orama.network
+
+# Expected output:
+# ;; ANSWER SECTION:
+# test.orama.network. 300 IN A 1.2.3.4
+
+# Query from remote machine
+dig @<node-ip> test.orama.network
+```
+
+### 3. Test Wildcard
+
+```bash
+# Add wildcard record
+curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:5001/db/execute' \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '[
+    ["INSERT INTO dns_records (fqdn, record_type, value, ttl, namespace, created_by, is_active) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)",
+     "*.node-abc123.orama.network.", "A", "1.2.3.4", 300, "test", "system", true]
+  ]'
+
+# Test wildcard resolution
+dig @localhost app1.node-abc123.orama.network
+dig @localhost app2.node-abc123.orama.network
+```
+
+### 4. Check Health
+
+```bash
+# Health check endpoint
+curl http://localhost:8080/health
+
+# Prometheus metrics
+curl http://localhost:9153/metrics | grep coredns_rqlite
+```
+
+### 5. Monitor Logs
+
+```bash
+# Follow CoreDNS logs
+sudo journalctl -u coredns -f
+
+# Check for errors
+sudo journalctl -u coredns --since "10 minutes ago" | grep -i error
+```
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### Metrics
+
+CoreDNS exports Prometheus metrics on port 9153:
+
+- `coredns_dns_requests_total` - Total DNS requests
+- `coredns_dns_responses_total` - Total DNS responses by rcode
+- `coredns_cache_hits_total` - Cache hit rate
+- `coredns_cache_misses_total` - Cache miss rate
+
+### Health Checks
+
+The health endpoint at `:8080/health` returns:
+- `200 OK` if RQLite is healthy
+- `503 Service Unavailable` if RQLite is unhealthy
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Plugin Not Found
+
+If CoreDNS fails to start with "plugin not found":
+1. Verify plugin was compiled in: `coredns -plugins | grep rqlite`
+2. Rebuild CoreDNS with plugin included (see Build section)
+
+### RQLite Connection Failed
+
+```bash
+# Check RQLite is running
+sudo systemctl status rqlite
+
+# Test RQLite HTTP API
+curl http://localhost:5001/status
+
+# Check firewall
+sudo ufw status | grep 5001
+```
+
+### DNS Queries Not Working
+
+```bash
+# 1. Check CoreDNS is listening on port 53
+sudo netstat -tulpn | grep :53
+
+# 2. Test local query
+dig @127.0.0.1 test.orama.network
+
+# 3. Check logs for errors
+sudo journalctl -u coredns --since "5 minutes ago"
+
+# 4. Verify DNS records exist in RQLite
+curl -G http://localhost:5001/db/query \
+  --data-urlencode 'q=SELECT * FROM dns_records WHERE is_active = TRUE'
+```
+
+### Cache Issues
+
+If DNS responses are stale:
+
+```bash
+# Restart CoreDNS to clear cache
+sudo systemctl restart coredns
+
+# Or reduce cache TTL in Corefile:
+# cache {
+#     success 10000 60  # Reduce to 60 seconds
+# }
+```
+
+## Production Deployment
+
+### 1. Deploy to All Nameservers
+
+Install CoreDNS on all 4 nameserver nodes (ns1-ns4).
+
+### 2. Configure Registrar
+
+At your domain registrar, set NS records for `orama.network`:
+
+```
+orama.network.  IN  NS  ns1.orama.network.
+orama.network.  IN  NS  ns2.orama.network.
+orama.network.  IN  NS  ns3.orama.network.
+orama.network.  IN  NS  ns4.orama.network.
+```
+
+Add glue records:
+
+```
+ns1.orama.network.  IN  A  <node-1-ip>
+ns2.orama.network.  IN  A  <node-2-ip>
+ns3.orama.network.  IN  A  <node-3-ip>
+ns4.orama.network.  IN  A  <node-4-ip>
+```
+
+### 3. Verify Propagation
+
+```bash
+# Check NS records
+dig NS orama.network
+
+# Check from public DNS
+dig @8.8.8.8 test.orama.network
+
+# Check from all nameservers
+dig @ns1.orama.network test.orama.network
+dig @ns2.orama.network test.orama.network
+dig @ns3.orama.network test.orama.network
+dig @ns4.orama.network test.orama.network
+```
+
+### 4. Monitor
+
+Set up monitoring for:
+- CoreDNS uptime on all nodes
+- DNS query latency
+- Cache hit rate
+- RQLite connection health
+- Query error rate
+
+## Security
+
+### Firewall
+
+Only expose necessary ports:
+- Port 53 (DNS): Public
+- Port 8080 (Health): Internal only
+- Port 9153 (Metrics): Internal only
+- Port 5001 (RQLite): Internal only
+
+```bash
+# Allow DNS from anywhere
+sudo ufw allow 53/tcp
+sudo ufw allow 53/udp
+
+# Restrict health and metrics to internal network
+sudo ufw allow from 10.0.0.0/8 to any port 8080
+sudo ufw allow from 10.0.0.0/8 to any port 9153
+```
+
+### DNS Security
+
+- Enable DNSSEC (future enhancement)
+- Rate limit queries (add to Corefile)
+- Monitor for DNS amplification attacks
+- Validate RQLite data integrity
+
+## Performance Tuning
+
+### Cache Optimization
+
+Adjust cache settings based on query patterns:
+
+```corefile
+cache {
+    success 50000 600  # 50k entries, 10 min TTL
+    denial 10000 300   # 10k NXDOMAIN, 5 min TTL
+    prefetch 20        # Prefetch 20s before expiry
+}
+```
+
+### RQLite Connection Pool
+
+The plugin maintains a connection pool:
+- Max idle connections: 10
+- Idle timeout: 90s
+- Request timeout: 10s
+
+Adjust in `client.go` if needed for higher load.
+
+### System Limits
+
+```bash
+# Increase file descriptor limit
+# Add to /etc/security/limits.conf:
+debros soft nofile 65536
+debros hard nofile 65536
+```
+
+## Next Steps
+
+After CoreDNS is operational:
+1. Implement automatic DNS record creation in deployment handlers
+2. Add DNS record cleanup for deleted deployments
+3. Set up DNS monitoring and alerting
+4. Configure domain routing middleware in gateway
+5. Test end-to-end deployment flow

+# E2E Test Fixtures
+
+This directory contains test applications used for end-to-end testing of the Orama Network deployment system.
+
+## Test Applications
+
+### 1. React Vite App (`apps/react-vite/`)
+A minimal React application built with Vite for testing static site deployments.
+
+**Features:**
+- Simple counter component
+- CSS and JavaScript assets
+- Test markers for E2E validation
+
+**Build:**
+```bash
+cd apps/react-vite
+npm install
+npm run build
+# Output: dist/
+```
+
+### 2. Next.js SSR App (`apps/nextjs-ssr/`)
+A Next.js application with server-side rendering and API routes for testing dynamic deployments.
+
+**Features:**
+- Server-side rendered homepage
+- API routes:
+  - `/api/hello` - Simple greeting endpoint
+  - `/api/data` - JSON data with users list
+- TypeScript support
+
+**Build:**
+```bash
+cd apps/nextjs-ssr
+npm install
+npm run build
+# Output: .next/
+```
+
+### 3. Go Backend (`apps/go-backend/`)
+A simple Go HTTP API for testing native backend deployments.
+
+**Features:**
+- Health check endpoint: `/health`
+- Users API: `/api/users` (GET, POST)
+- Environment variable support (PORT)
+
+**Build:**
+```bash
+cd apps/go-backend
+make build
+# Output: api (Linux binary)
+```
+
+## Building All Fixtures
+
+Use the build script to create deployment-ready tarballs for all test apps:
+
+```bash
+./build-fixtures.sh
+```
+
+This will:
+1. Build all three applications
+2. Create compressed tarballs in `tarballs/`:
+   - `react-vite.tar.gz` - Static site deployment
+   - `nextjs-ssr.tar.gz` - Next.js SSR deployment
+   - `go-backend.tar.gz` - Go backend deployment
+
+## Tarballs
+
+Pre-built deployment artifacts are stored in `tarballs/` for use in E2E tests.
+
+**Usage in tests:**
+```go
+tarballPath := filepath.Join("../../testdata/tarballs/react-vite.tar.gz")
+file, err := os.Open(tarballPath)
+// Upload to deployment endpoint
+```
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+```
+testdata/
+├── apps/                          # Source applications
+│   ├── react-vite/               # React + Vite static app
+│   ├── nextjs-ssr/               # Next.js SSR app
+│   └── go-backend/               # Go HTTP API
+│

+│
+├── build-fixtures.sh             # Build script
+└── README.md                     # This file
+```
+
+## Development
+
+To modify test apps:
+
+1. Edit source files in `apps/{app-name}/`
+2. Run `./build-fixtures.sh` to rebuild
+3. Tarballs are automatically updated for E2E tests
+
+## Testing Locally
+
+### React Vite App
+```bash
+cd apps/react-vite
+npm run dev
+# Open http://localhost:5173
+```
+
+### Next.js App
+```bash
+cd apps/nextjs-ssr
+npm run dev
+# Open http://localhost:3000
+# Test API: http://localhost:3000/api/hello
+```
+
+### Go Backend
+```bash
+cd apps/go-backend
+go run main.go
+# Test: curl http://localhost:8080/health
+# Test: curl http://localhost:8080/api/users
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- All apps are intentionally minimal to ensure fast build and deployment times
+- React and Next.js apps include test markers (`data-testid`) for E2E validation
+- Go backend uses standard library only (no external dependencies)
+- Build script requires: Node.js (18+), npm, Go (1.21+), tar, gzip
