-## Install and Operations Guide
+## Production Install (Ubuntu + systemd)
 
-This document describes how to install, configure, run, and operate Project Ploughshares locally and on an Ubuntu server.
+This file covers production installation only. For all other docs, see README.md.
 
-### 1) Prerequisites
-- Docker and Docker Compose plugin installed
-- Git installed
-- Ubuntu server (for systemd install) with sudo/root access
+### Prerequisites
+- Ubuntu server with sudo/root access
+- Docker and Docker Compose plugin already installed
 
-### 2) Environment Configuration
-1. Copy the example env file and set secrets/values:
+### Configure environment
+1. Copy example env and set required values:
    - `cp .env.example .env`
-   - Edit `.env` and set `GOOGLE_API_KEY` and any optional overrides (APP_ENV, DB vars, etc.)
+   - Edit `.env` and set at least: `GOOGLE_API_KEY`
 
-### 3) Local Development
-- Start the dev stack:
-  - `docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build`
-- Access the app:
-  - `http://localhost:5005`
-- Run crawlers (provide GOOGLE_API_KEY in `.env`):
-  - Google Alerts: `docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml run --rm crawler_google_alerts`
-  - Marketline: `docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml run --rm crawler_marketline`
-
-### 4) Server Install (Ubuntu + systemd)
-The repo includes a non-interactive installer that deploys to `/opt/ploughshares`, installs systemd unit/timer, and starts services.
-
-Steps:
-1. Ensure Docker + Compose are installed on the server
-2. Copy the repo to the server (or clone) and run:
+### Install
+1. Copy or clone the repo onto the server
+2. Run the installer:
    - `sudo ./install.sh`
-3. The installer will:
-   - Sync repo to `/opt/ploughshares`
-   - Ensure `/opt/ploughshares/.env` exists (from example if absent)
-   - Install `ploughshares-compose.service` and `ploughshares-daily-restart.timer`
-   - Enable and start both
 
-Change daily restart time (default 03:15):
+What the installer does:
+- Syncs the repo to `/opt/ploughshares`
+- Ensures `/opt/ploughshares/.env` exists
+- Installs and enables:
+  - `ploughshares-compose.service`
+  - `ploughshares-daily-restart.timer` (03:15 daily)
+- Starts the stack
+
+### Change daily restart time
 ```bash
 sudo systemctl edit ploughshares-daily-restart.timer
-# In the [Timer] section set: OnCalendar=*-*-* HH:MM:SS
+# In [Timer] set: OnCalendar=*-*-* HH:MM:SS
 sudo systemctl daemon-reload
 sudo systemctl restart ploughshares-daily-restart.timer
 ```
 
-### 5) Operations
-- Check status:
+### Manage
+- Status:
   - `systemctl status ploughshares-compose.service`
   - `systemctl status ploughshares-daily-restart.timer`
-- Start/Stop/Restart stack:
+- Start/Stop/Restart:
   - `sudo systemctl start|stop|restart ploughshares-compose.service`
 - Logs:
-  - App containers: `docker logs <container_name>`
-  - Daily restart logs: `/var/log/ploughshares-restart.log`
-  - Manual restart with logging: `./restart_containers.sh`
+  - Daily restart: `/var/log/ploughshares-restart.log`
 
-### 6) Cron alternative (optional)
-If you prefer cron instead of systemd timer, use the helper:
-- `INTERVAL="15 3 * * *" ./install_daily_restart_cron.sh`
-
-### 7) CI/CD
-- Woodpecker builds the app and crawler images per `.woodpecker.yml`
-
-### 8) Troubleshooting
-- Containers not starting:
-  - `docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d` (server) or `docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d` (local)
-  - `docker compose ps` / `docker compose logs -f app`
-- Missing GOOGLE_API_KEY:
-  - Set in `.env` and re-run
-- Systemd unit not found:
-  - `sudo systemctl daemon-reload`
-- Permission issues writing logs:
-  - Ensure `/var/log` is writable by root; logs written by systemd service
