+# Nerd Monitor - Release & Deployment Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+This project uses **Gitea Actions** to automatically build and release binaries and Docker images when you push to the `master` branch or create a new tag.
+
+## Automatic Release Pipeline
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. **Master Branch Push**: When you push to `master`, the workflow:
+   - Builds all platform binaries (Linux/macOS/Windows, amd64/arm64)
+   - Generates checksums (SHA256)
+   - Uploads artifacts for 30 days
+   - Builds Docker images (server & agent)
+
+2. **Tag Creation**: When you create a tag (e.g., `v1.0.0`), the workflow:
+   - Does all of the above
+   - Creates a GitHub Release
+   - Uploads all binaries and Docker images to the release
+
+### Supported Platforms
+
+Binaries are built for:
+- **Linux**: amd64, arm64
+- **macOS**: amd64 (Intel), arm64 (Apple Silicon)
+- **Windows**: amd64
+
+Docker images are built for Linux containers.
+
+## Workflow Configuration
+
+The Gitea Actions workflow is defined in `.gitea/workflows/release.yml`
+
+### Trigger Events
+- Push to `master` branch
+- Push of git tags (e.g., `v1.0.0`)
+
+### Jobs
+- `build`: Compiles all platform binaries and generates checksums
+- `docker-build`: Builds Docker images for server and agent
+
+## Creating a Release
+
+### Option 1: Automatic Release (Recommended)
+
+1. Create a new tag:
+```bash
+git tag -a v1.0.0 -m "Release version 1.0.0"
+git push origin v1.0.0
+```
+
+2. Gitea Actions will automatically:
+   - Build all binaries
+   - Create a release in Gitea
+   - Upload all artifacts
+
+3. View the release in Gitea: `Releases` tab on your repository
+
+### Option 2: Manual Release Upload
+
+If you need to manually upload binaries to Gitea:
+
+```bash
+# Set your Gitea token (create one in Gitea Settings → Applications → Generate Token)
+export GITEA_TOKEN=your_token_here
+
+# Build all binaries
+make build-all
+
+# Upload to release
+./scripts/upload-release.sh v1.0.0
+```
+
+Environment variables (optional):
+- `GITEA_URL`: Gitea server URL (default: `https://git.nerdnest.dev`)
+- `REPO_OWNER`: Repository owner (default: `ducky`)
+- `REPO_NAME`: Repository name (default: `nerd-monitor`)
+
+## Local Building
+
+You can also build binaries locally:
+
+```bash
+# Build for current platform
+make build
+
+# Build for all platforms
+make build-all
+
+# Clean build artifacts
+make clean
+```
+
+Binaries are created in the `bin/` directory.
+
+## Docker Images
+
+Two Docker images are built:
+
+### Server Image
+```bash
+docker pull nerd-monitor-server:latest
+docker run -p 8080:8080 nerd-monitor-server
+```
+
+### Agent Image
+```bash
+docker pull nerd-monitor-agent:latest
+docker run nerd-monitor-agent --server your-server:8080
+```
+
+## Gitea Configuration
+
+### Enable Gitea Actions
+
+1. SSH into your Gitea server
+2. Edit `app.ini`:
+```ini
+[actions]
+ENABLED = true
+```
+3. Restart Gitea:
+```bash
+systemctl restart gitea
+```
+
+### Create an API Token (for manual uploads)
+
+1. Go to Settings → Applications
+2. Click "Generate New Token"
+3. Name it (e.g., "Release Upload")
+4. Give it `repo` permissions
+5. Copy the token
+
+Use it with the upload script:
+```bash
+./scripts/upload-release.sh v1.0.0 <your_token>
+```
+
+## Release Files
+
+Each release includes:
+
+```
+nerd-monitor-server-linux-amd64
+nerd-monitor-server-linux-arm64
+nerd-monitor-server-darwin-amd64
+nerd-monitor-server-darwin-arm64
+nerd-monitor-server-windows-amd64.exe
+
+nerd-monitor-agent-linux-amd64
+nerd-monitor-agent-linux-arm64
+nerd-monitor-agent-darwin-amd64
+nerd-monitor-agent-darwin-arm64
+nerd-monitor-agent-windows-amd64.exe
+
+SHA256SUMS (checksums for all binaries)
+```
+
+## Coolify Integration
+
+If you want to use Coolify for deployment:
+
+1. **For Server Deployment**:
+   - Use `Dockerfile.server` as the build context
+   - Coolify will auto-build on `master` branch pushes
+   - Deploy the server container to Coolify
+
+2. **For Agent Deployment**:
+   - Use `Dockerfile.agent` as the build context
+   - Deploy the agent container to machines that need monitoring
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Actions not running
+- Ensure Gitea Actions is enabled on your server
+- Check that your runner is available (`Settings → Actions`)
+- Review action logs in the `Actions` tab
+
+### Release not created
+- Ensure the tag format matches semantic versioning (v1.0.0)
+- Check workflow logs for build errors
+- Verify Go 1.24.4 is available in the runner environment
+
+### Docker images not building
+- Ensure Docker/Buildx is available in the runner
+- Check the Dockerfile syntax
+- Review build logs in the Actions tab
+
+## Additional Resources
