+# Deployment Guide for Hetzner VPS
+
+This guide will help you deploy your SvelteKit application on your Hetzner VPS.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js installed on your VPS
+- PM2 installed globally (`npm install -g pm2`)
+- Nginx installed and running
+
+## Deployment Steps
+
+### 1. Build the Application
+
+On your VPS, navigate to your project directory:
+
+```bash
+cd /floter-design
+npm install
+npm run build
+```
+
+### 2. Create Logs Directory (for PM2)
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p /floter-design/logs
+```
+
+### 3. Start the Application with PM2
+
+```bash
+cd /floter-design
+pm2 start ecosystem.config.cjs
+pm2 save
+pm2 startup
+```
+
+The last command (`pm2 startup`) will give you a command to run with sudo to enable PM2 to start on system boot.
+
+### 4. Configure Nginx
+
+1. Copy the nginx configuration:
+   ```bash
+   sudo cp nginx.conf.example /etc/nginx/sites-available/floter-design
+   ```
+
+2. Edit the configuration with your domain:
+   ```bash
+   sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/floter-design
+   ```
+   Replace `your-domain.com` with your actual domain name.
+
+3. Enable the site:
+   ```bash
+   sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/floter-design /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
+   ```
+
+4. Test nginx configuration:
+   ```bash
+   sudo nginx -t
+   ```
+
+5. Reload nginx:
+   ```bash
+   sudo systemctl reload nginx
+   ```
+
+### 5. Set Up SSL (Optional but Recommended)
+
+If you want HTTPS, use Let's Encrypt:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx
+sudo certbot --nginx -d your-domain.com -d www.your-domain.com
+```
+
+Then uncomment the HTTPS server block in your nginx config and reload.
+
+## Useful Commands
+
+### PM2 Commands
+
+- View running apps: `pm2 list`
+- View logs: `pm2 logs floter-design`
+- Restart app: `pm2 restart floter-design`
+- Stop app: `pm2 stop floter-design`
+- Monitor: `pm2 monit`
+
+### Nginx Commands
+
+- Test config: `sudo nginx -t`
+- Reload: `sudo systemctl reload nginx`
+- Restart: `sudo systemctl restart nginx`
+- Status: `sudo systemctl status nginx`
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **Port already in use**: Change the PORT in `ecosystem.config.cjs` (default is 3001) or stop the process using that port
+- **Port 3001 conflicts**: You can use any available port (3002, 3003, etc.) - just update both `ecosystem.config.cjs` and your nginx config
+- **502 Bad Gateway**: Check if the Node.js server is running (`pm2 list`) and check logs (`pm2 logs`)
+- **Permission errors**: Make sure the user running PM2 has proper permissions to the `/floter-design` directory
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+If you need to set environment variables, edit the `env` section in `ecosystem.config.cjs` or create a `.env` file in `/floter-design`.
