-# Project Tracker - Docker Compose Deployment
+# Project Tracker
 
-## Quick Start
+A self-hosted project tracking web app. Dark-themed, minimal, fast.
+
+**Live:** https://projects.ledrew.me
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start (One Command)
+
+On a **fresh Debian/Ubuntu** server with Docker:
 
 ```bash
+curl -sL https://gitea.ledrew.me/ledadmin/project-tracker/raw/branch/master/deploy/setup.sh -o setup.sh && bash setup.sh
+```
+
+That's it. The script handles everything: system update → Docker → Docker Compose → clone → build → start.
+
+**Requires:** Debian/Ubuntu, root access, port 80 available.
+
+**What it does:**
+1. Updates system packages
+2. Installs Docker (if not present)
+3. Clones this repo
+4. Builds and starts the app via Docker Compose
+5. Shows you the URL when done
+
+To interactively confirm before running, download first:
+```bash
+curl -sL https://gitea.ledrew.me/ledadmin/project-tracker/raw/branch/master/deploy/setup.sh -o setup.sh
+bash setup.sh
+```
+
+---
+
+## Manual Docker Install
+
+If you prefer to install manually or already have Docker:
+
+```bash
+# Install Docker
+apt-get update
+apt-get install -y docker.io docker-compose
+
+# Clone and start
 git clone https://gitea.ledrew.me/ledadmin/project-tracker.git
 cd project-tracker/deploy
 docker compose up -d --build
 ```
 
-App available at `http://<your-server-ip>`

-## First Run Notes
-
-- The SQLite database initializes automatically on first start (empty)
-- The database file is persisted in a Docker named volume (`project-tracker-data`)
-- Projects added through the web UI are stored in the database, not in the code

 ## SSL / HTTPS
 
 For HTTPS, put nginx behind a reverse proxy (e.g., NginxProxyManager, Traefik, Caddy) on port 80/443. The nginx container should NOT be exposed directly to the internet.
+
+---
+
+## Stack
+
+- **Backend:** Node.js + Express + better-sqlite3
+- **Frontend:** Vanilla JS + CSS (no framework, no build step)
+- **Web Server:** nginx (reverse proxy + static files)
+- **Database:** SQLite (single file, no server process)
+- **Deploy:** Docker Compose (2 containers: backend + nginx)

+- No authentication on the API — intended for internal use behind a reverse proxy
+- CORS is open for development; restrict in production if needed
+- Database persists in Docker named volume — survives `docker compose down/up`
