+# Building and Pushing to Docker Hub
+
+This guide covers building the Docker image and pushing it to Docker Hub for production deployment.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker installed and running
+- Docker Hub account (username: `manticorum67`)
+- Write access to `manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp` repository
+
+## Docker Hub Repository
+
+**Repository**: `manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp`
+**URL**: https://hub.docker.com/r/manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp
+
+## Login to Docker Hub
+
+```bash
+# Login to Docker Hub
+docker login
+
+# Enter your username: manticorum67
+# Enter your password/token: [your-password-or-token]
+```
+
+## Build and Push Workflow
+
+### 1. Tag the Release
+
+```bash
+# Determine version number (use semantic versioning)
+VERSION="2.0.0"
+
+# Create git tag (optional but recommended)
+git tag -a "v${VERSION}" -m "Release v${VERSION}"
+git push origin "v${VERSION}"
+```
+
+### 2. Build the Image
+
+```bash
+# Build for production
+docker build -t manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:latest .
+
+# Build with version tag
+docker build -t manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:${VERSION} .
+
+# Or build both at once
+docker build \
+  -t manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:latest \
+  -t manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:${VERSION} \
+  .
+```
+
+### 3. Test the Image Locally
+
+```bash
+# Test with docker run
+docker run --rm \
+  --env-file .env \
+  -v $(pwd)/data:/data:ro \
+  -v $(pwd)/logs:/logs:rw \
+  manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:latest
+
+# Or test with docker-compose (development)
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up
+```
+
+### 4. Push to Docker Hub
+
+```bash
+# Push latest tag
+docker push manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:latest
+
+# Push version tag
+docker push manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:${VERSION}
+
+# Or push all tags
+docker push manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp --all-tags
+```
+
+## Complete Build and Push Script
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# build-and-push.sh
+
+set -e  # Exit on error
+
+# Configuration
+VERSION="${1:-latest}"  # Use argument or default to 'latest'
+DOCKER_REPO="manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp"
+
+echo "🔨 Building Docker image..."
+echo "Version: ${VERSION}"
+echo "Repository: ${DOCKER_REPO}"
+echo ""
+
+# Build image with both tags
+docker build \
+  -t ${DOCKER_REPO}:latest \
+  -t ${DOCKER_REPO}:${VERSION} \
+  .
+
+echo ""
+echo "✅ Build complete!"
+echo ""
+echo "📤 Pushing to Docker Hub..."
+
+# Push both tags
+docker push ${DOCKER_REPO}:latest
+docker push ${DOCKER_REPO}:${VERSION}
+
+echo ""
+echo "✅ Push complete!"
+echo ""
+echo "🎉 Image available at:"
+echo "   docker pull ${DOCKER_REPO}:latest"
+echo "   docker pull ${DOCKER_REPO}:${VERSION}"
+```
+
+### Using the Build Script
+
+```bash
+# Make script executable
+chmod +x build-and-push.sh
+
+# Build and push with version
+./build-and-push.sh 2.0.0
+
+# Build and push as latest only
+./build-and-push.sh
+```
+
+## Multi-Platform Builds (Optional)
+
+To build for multiple architectures (amd64, arm64):
+
+```bash
+# Create a builder instance
+docker buildx create --name multiarch --use
+
+# Build and push for multiple platforms
+docker buildx build \
+  --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 \
+  -t manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:latest \
+  -t manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:${VERSION} \
+  --push \
+  .
+```
+
+## Versioning Strategy
+
+### Semantic Versioning
+
+Use semantic versioning (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH):
+
+- **MAJOR**: Breaking changes
+- **MINOR**: New features (backwards compatible)
+- **PATCH**: Bug fixes
+
+Examples:
+- `2.0.0` - Major release with scorecard submission
+- `2.1.0` - Added new command
+- `2.1.1` - Fixed bug in existing command
+
+### Tagging Strategy
+
+Always maintain these tags:
+
+1. **`:latest`** - Most recent stable release
+2. **`:VERSION`** - Specific version (e.g., `2.0.0`)
+3. **`:MAJOR.MINOR`** - Minor version (e.g., `2.0`) - optional
+4. **`:MAJOR`** - Major version (e.g., `2`) - optional
+
+### Example Tagging
+
+```bash
+VERSION="2.0.0"
+
+# Tag with all versions
+docker build \
+  -t manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:latest \
+  -t manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:2.0.0 \
+  -t manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:2.0 \
+  -t manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:2 \
+  .
+
+# Push all tags
+docker push manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp --all-tags
+```
+
+## GitHub Actions (Optional)
+
+Automate builds with GitHub Actions:
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/docker-build.yml
+name: Build and Push Docker Image
+
+on:
+  push:
+    tags:
+      - 'v*.*.*'
+
+jobs:
+  build:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+
+      - name: Set up Docker Buildx
+        uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v2
+
+      - name: Login to Docker Hub
+        uses: docker/login-action@v2
+        with:
+          username: ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_USERNAME }}
+          password: ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_TOKEN }}
+
+      - name: Extract version
+        id: version
+        run: echo "VERSION=${GITHUB_REF#refs/tags/v}" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
+
+      - name: Build and push
+        uses: docker/build-push-action@v4
+        with:
+          context: ./discord-app-v2
+          push: true
+          tags: |
+            manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:latest
+            manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:${{ steps.version.outputs.VERSION }}
+```
+
+## Production Deployment
+
+After pushing to Docker Hub, deploy on production:
+
+```bash
+# On production server
+cd /path/to/discord-app-v2
+
+# Pull latest image
+docker-compose pull
+
+# Restart with new image
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# Verify it's running
+docker-compose logs -f discord-bot
+```
+
+## Rollback to Previous Version
+
+If a release has issues:
+
+```bash
+# Stop current version
+docker-compose down
+
+# Edit docker-compose.yml to use specific version
+# Change: image: manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:latest
+# To:     image: manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:2.0.0
+
+# Pull and start old version
+docker-compose pull
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+Or use a specific version directly:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose down
+
+docker pull manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:2.0.0
+
+docker run -d \
+  --name major-domo-discord-bot-v2 \
+  --env-file .env \
+  -v $(pwd)/data:/data:ro \
+  -v $(pwd)/logs:/logs:rw \
+  manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:2.0.0
+```
+
+## Image Size Optimization
+
+The multi-stage build already optimizes size, but you can verify:
+
+```bash
+# Check image size
+docker images manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp
+
+# Expected size: ~150-200MB
+
+# Inspect layers
+docker history manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:latest
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build Fails
+
+```bash
+# Build with verbose output
+docker build --progress=plain -t manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:latest .
+
+# Check for errors in requirements.txt
+docker build --no-cache -t manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:latest .
+```
+
+### Push Fails
+
+```bash
+# Check if logged in
+docker info | grep Username
+
+# Re-login
+docker logout
+docker login
+
+# Check repository permissions
+docker push manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:latest
+```
+
+### Image Won't Run
+
+```bash
+# Test image interactively
+docker run -it --rm \
+  --entrypoint /bin/bash \
+  manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:latest
+
+# Inside container, check Python
+python --version
+pip list
+ls -la /app
+```
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+1. **Use Docker Hub Access Tokens** instead of password
+2. **Enable 2FA** on Docker Hub account
+3. **Scan images** for vulnerabilities:
+   ```bash
+   docker scan manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:latest
+   ```
+4. **Sign images** (optional):
+   ```bash
+   docker trust sign manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:latest
+   ```
+
+## Cleanup
+
+Remove old local images:
+
+```bash
+# Remove dangling images
+docker image prune
+
+# Remove all unused images
+docker image prune -a
+
+# Remove specific version
+docker rmi manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:1.0.0
+```

+# Docker Deployment Guide
+
+This guide covers deploying the Discord Bot v2.0 using Docker and Docker Compose.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker 20.10+ installed
+- Docker Compose 2.0+ installed
+- Google Sheets service account credentials JSON file
+- Access to the database API (running on a separate host)
+
+## Deployment Modes
+
+### Production (Recommended)
+Uses `docker-compose.yml` - pulls pre-built image from Docker Hub
+
+### Development
+Uses `docker-compose.dev.yml` - builds image locally from source
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start (Production)
+
+Deploy using pre-built image from Docker Hub:
+
+### 1. Prepare Configuration
+
+```bash
+# Copy the example environment file
+cp .env.example .env
+
+# Edit .env with your actual values
+nano .env
+```
+
+**Required environment variables:**
+- `BOT_TOKEN` - Your Discord bot token
+- `API_TOKEN` - Database API authentication token
+- `DB_URL` - Database API endpoint URL
+- `GUILD_ID` - Your Discord server ID
+
+### 2. Prepare Data Directory
+
+```bash
+# Create data directory for Google Sheets credentials
+mkdir -p data
+
+# Copy your Google Sheets credentials file
+cp /path/to/your/credentials.json data/major-domo-service-creds.json
+
+# Set proper permissions (read-only)
+chmod 444 data/major-domo-service-creds.json
+```
+
+### 3. Create Logs Directory
+
+```bash
+# Create logs directory (will be mounted as volume)
+mkdir -p logs
+```
+
+### 4. Pull and Run
+
+```bash
+# Pull latest image from Docker Hub
+docker-compose pull
+
+# Start the bot
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# View logs
+docker-compose logs -f discord-bot
+```
+
+---
+
+## Development Setup
+
+Build and run locally with source code:
+
+### 1. Complete steps 1-3 from Production setup above
+
+### 2. Build and Run
+
+```bash
+# Build the Docker image locally
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml build
+
+# Start the bot
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d
+
+# View logs
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml logs -f discord-bot
+```
+
+## Docker Commands
+
+### Production Commands
+
+```bash
+# Pull latest image from Docker Hub
+docker-compose pull
+
+# Start in detached mode
+docker-compose up -d

+
+## Docker Hub Repository
+
+**Repository**: `manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp`
+**URL**: https://hub.docker.com/r/manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp
+
+Production deployments pull from this repository. See `BUILD_AND_PUSH.md` for instructions on building and pushing new versions.
+
+## Multi-Stage Build
+
+The Dockerfile uses a multi-stage build for optimization:
+
+### Stage 1: Builder
+- Based on `python:3.13-slim`
+- Installs build dependencies (gcc, g++)
+- Compiles Python packages with C extensions
+- Creates `.local` directory with all dependencies
+
+### Stage 2: Runtime
+- Based on `python:3.13-slim`
+- Only includes runtime dependencies
+- Copies compiled packages from builder
+- Runs as non-root user (`botuser`)
+- Final image size: ~150-200MB (vs ~500MB+ single-stage)
+
+## Security Features
+
+### Non-Root User
+The bot runs as `botuser` (UID 1000) with restricted permissions:
+```dockerfile
+RUN groupadd -r botuser && \
+    useradd -r -g botuser -u 1000 -m -s /bin/bash botuser
+USER botuser
+```
+
+### Read-Only Credentials
+Mount credentials as read-only:
+```yaml
+volumes:
+  - ./data:/data:ro  # ro = read-only
+```
+
+### Resource Limits
+Default resource limits in docker-compose.yml:
+- CPU: 1.0 cores max, 0.25 cores reserved
+- Memory: 512MB max, 256MB reserved
+
+Adjust based on your server capacity:
+```yaml
+deploy:
+  resources:
+    limits:
+      cpus: '2.0'      # Increase for heavy workloads
+      memory: 1G       # Increase if needed
+```
+
+## Volume Mounts
+
+### Data Volume (Read-Only)
+Contains Google Sheets credentials:
+```yaml
+volumes:
+  - ${SHEETS_CREDENTIALS_HOST_PATH:-./data}:/data:ro
+```
+
+### Logs Volume (Read-Write)
+Persistent log storage:
+```yaml
+volumes:
+  - ${LOGS_HOST_PATH:-./logs}:/logs:rw
+```
+
+### Development Mode
+Mount source code for live development:
+```yaml
+volumes:
+  - .:/app:ro  # Uncomment in docker-compose.yml
+```
+
+## Health Checks
+
+The bot includes a health check that runs every 60 seconds:
+```dockerfile
+HEALTHCHECK --interval=60s --timeout=10s --start-period=30s --retries=3 \
+    CMD python -c "import sys; sys.exit(0)" || exit 1
+```
+
+Check health status:
+```bash
+docker inspect --format='{{.State.Health.Status}}' major-domo-discord-bot-v2
+```
+
+## Logging
+
+### Container Logs
+Docker captures stdout/stderr:
+```bash
+docker-compose logs -f discord-bot
+```
+
+### Application Logs
+Persistent logs in mounted volume:
+- `/logs/discord_bot_v2.log` - Human-readable logs
+- `/logs/discord_bot_v2.json` - Structured JSON logs
+
+### Log Rotation
+Docker manages log rotation:
+```yaml
+logging:
+  driver: "json-file"
+  options:
+    max-size: "10m"   # Max size per file
+    max-file: "3"     # Keep 3 files
+```
+
+## Networking
+
+The bot connects outbound to:
+- Discord API (discord.com)
+- Database API (configured via `DB_URL`)
+- Google Sheets API (sheets.googleapis.com)
+
+No inbound ports are exposed (bot initiates all connections).
+
+### Custom Network
+The compose file creates a bridge network:
+```yaml
+networks:
+  major-domo-network:
+    driver: bridge
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Bot Won't Start
+
+1. **Check logs:**
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose logs discord-bot
+   ```
+
+2. **Verify environment variables:**
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose exec discord-bot env | grep BOT_TOKEN
+   ```
+
+3. **Check credentials file:**
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose exec discord-bot ls -la /data/
+   ```
+
+### Permission Errors
+
+If you see permission errors accessing `/data` or `/logs`:
+```bash
+# Fix data directory permissions
+chmod -R 755 data/
+chmod 444 data/major-domo-service-creds.json
+
+# Fix logs directory permissions
+chmod -R 755 logs/
+```
+
+### Database Connection Issues
+
+Test database connectivity:
+```bash
+docker-compose exec discord-bot python -c "
+import aiohttp
+import asyncio
+import os
+
+async def test():
+    url = os.getenv('DB_URL')
+    token = os.getenv('API_TOKEN')
+    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
+        async with session.get(f'{url}/health',
+                               headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {token}'}) as resp:
+            print(f'Status: {resp.status}')
+            print(await resp.text())
+
+asyncio.run(test())
+"
+```
+
+### High Memory Usage
+
+If the bot uses too much memory:
+
+1. **Check current usage:**
+   ```bash
+   docker stats major-domo-discord-bot-v2
+   ```
+
+2. **Increase memory limit:**
+   ```yaml
+   # In docker-compose.yml
+   deploy:
+     resources:
+       limits:
+         memory: 1G  # Increase from 512M
+   ```
+
+3. **Restart with new limits:**
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose up -d
+   ```
+
+### Container Keeps Restarting
+
+Check exit code and error:
+```bash
+docker-compose ps
+docker logs major-domo-discord-bot-v2 --tail=50
+```
+
+Common issues:
+- Invalid `BOT_TOKEN` - Check .env file
+- Missing credentials - Check `/data` mount
+- Database unreachable - Check `DB_URL`
+
+## Production Deployment
+
+### Best Practices
+
+1. **Use specific image tags:**
+   ```bash
+   docker tag major-domo/discord-bot-v2:latest major-domo/discord-bot-v2:v2.0.0
+   ```
+
+2. **Enable auto-restart:**
+   ```yaml
+   restart: unless-stopped  # Already set in compose file
+   ```
+
+3. **Set production environment:**
+   ```bash
+   ENVIRONMENT=production
+   LOG_LEVEL=INFO
+   ```
+
+4. **Monitor resource usage:**
+   ```bash
+   docker stats major-domo-discord-bot-v2
+   ```
+
+5. **Regular updates:**
+   ```bash
+   git pull
+   docker-compose build --no-cache
+   docker-compose up -d
+   ```
+
+### Backup Strategy
+
+Backup critical data:
+```bash
+# Backup logs
+tar -czf logs-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz logs/
+
+# Backup configuration
+cp .env .env.backup
+
+# Backup credentials
+cp data/major-domo-service-creds.json data/creds.backup.json
+```
+
+## Updates and Maintenance
+
+### Update Bot Code (Production)
+
+```bash
+# 1. Pull latest image from Docker Hub
+docker-compose pull
+
+# 2. Restart with new image
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# 3. Verify it's running
+docker-compose logs -f discord-bot
+```
+
+### Update Bot Code (Development)
+
+```bash
+# 1. Pull latest code
+git pull
+
+# 2. Rebuild image
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml build
+
+# 3. Restart with new image
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d
+
+# 4. Verify it's running
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml logs -f discord-bot
+```
+
+### Update Dependencies
+
+```bash
+# 1. Update requirements.txt locally
+pip install -U discord.py pydantic aiohttp
+pip freeze > requirements.txt
+
+# 2. Rebuild image with new dependencies
+docker-compose build --no-cache
+
+# 3. Restart
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+### Database Migration
+
+If the database API is updated:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Update DB_URL in .env if needed
+nano .env
+
+# 2. Restart bot to pick up new configuration
+docker-compose restart discord-bot
+
+# 3. Test connectivity
+docker-compose logs -f discord-bot
+```
+
+## File Comparison: Production vs Development
+
+### `docker-compose.yml` (Production)
+- Pulls pre-built image from Docker Hub: `manticorum67/major-domo-discordapp:latest`
+- Environment: `production`
+- Log level: `INFO` (default)
+- Resource limits: 512MB RAM, 1 CPU
+- No source code mounting
+
+### `docker-compose.dev.yml` (Development)
+- Builds image locally from Dockerfile
+- Environment: `development`
+- Log level: `DEBUG` (default)
+- Resource limits: 1GB RAM, 2 CPU (more generous)
+- Optional source code mounting for live updates
+
+### When to Use Each
+
+**Use Production (`docker-compose.yml`)**:
+- Production servers
+- Staging environments
+- Any deployment not modifying code
+- Faster deployment (no build step)
+
+**Use Development (`docker-compose.dev.yml`)**:
+- Local development
+- Testing code changes
+- Building new features
+- Debugging issues
+
+## Additional Resources
+
+- **Discord.py Documentation**: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/
+- **Docker Best Practices**: https://docs.docker.com/develop/dev-best-practices/
+- **Python 3.13 Release Notes**: https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/
+
+## Support
+
+For issues or questions:
+1. Check logs: `docker-compose logs discord-bot`
+2. Review bot documentation in `CLAUDE.md` and command READMEs
+3. Check health status: `docker inspect major-domo-discord-bot-v2`
