+# Paper Dynasty Deployment Guide
+
+## Current Deployment Process (Shell Script)
+
+### Quick Start
+
+From the `discord-app` directory:
+
+```bash
+./deploy.sh 1.3.0
+```
+
+Or let it prompt you for version:
+
+```bash
+./deploy.sh
+```
+
+### What It Does
+
+1. **Validates version format** (X.Y or X.Y.Z)
+2. **Builds Docker image** with both `latest` and version tags
+3. **Pushes to Docker Hub** (manticorum67/paper-dynasty)
+4. **Creates git tag** (v1.3.0)
+5. **Deploys to sba-bots** via SSH
+6. **Cleans up old images**
+
+### Version Numbering
+
+- **Bug fixes**: Increment patch (1.2.0 → 1.2.1)
+- **New features**: Increment minor (1.2.1 → 1.3.0)
+- **Breaking changes**: Increment major (1.3.0 → 2.0.0)
+
+### Examples
+
+```bash
+# Deploy a bug fix
+./deploy.sh 1.2.1
+
+# Deploy a new feature
+./deploy.sh 1.3.0
+
+# Deploy with 'v' prefix (works either way)
+./deploy.sh v1.3.0
+```
+
+### Rollback Process
+
+If something goes wrong:
+
+```bash
+ssh sba-bots
+cd /container-data/paper-dynasty
+
+# Check available versions
+docker image ls | grep paper-dynasty
+
+# Update docker-compose.yml to use specific version
+# Change: image: manticorum67/paper-dynasty:latest
+# To:     image: manticorum67/paper-dynasty:1.2.0
+
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+## Future: Automated CI/CD (GitHub Actions + Watchtower)
+
+When ready to automate further, we'll:
+
+1. Add GitHub Actions workflow to auto-build on git tags
+2. Install Watchtower on sba-bots to auto-deploy
+3. Push tags and walk away ☕
+
+Files ready in `.github/workflows/` when you're ready to switch.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Permission denied" when running script
+```bash
+chmod +x deploy.sh
+```
+
+### "Docker build failed"
+- Check Dockerfile syntax
+- Ensure all required files are present
+- Check Docker daemon is running
+
+### "Failed to push to Docker Hub"
+- Verify you're logged in: `docker login`
+- Check Docker Hub credentials
+
+### "SSH connection failed"
+- Verify SSH key is configured: `ssh sba-bots`
+- Check ~/.ssh/config has sba-bots entry
+
+### Remote deployment fails but build succeeds
+- SSH into sba-bots manually
+- Check disk space: `df -h`
+- Check docker-compose.yml is present in `/container-data/paper-dynasty/`
+- Run docker compose commands manually to see error
