 # Deploy to VPS Workflow
 
-Deploy OmniRoute to the production VPS using `npm install -g` + PM2.
+Deploy OmniRoute to the production VPS using `npm pack + scp` + PM2.
 
 **VPS:** `69.164.221.35` (Akamai, Ubuntu 24.04, 1GB RAM + 2.5GB swap)
 **Local VPS:** `192.168.0.15` (same setup)
 **Process manager:** PM2 (`omniroute`)
 **Port:** `20128`
+**PM2 entry:** `/usr/lib/node_modules/omniroute/app/server.js`
 
 > [!IMPORTANT]
 > PM2 runs from the global npm package at `/usr/lib/node_modules/omniroute`.
-> **DO NOT** use git clone or local copies. The `npm install -g` command handles
-> building, publishing, and installing the standalone app in one step.
+> The Next.js standalone build is at `app/server.js` inside that directory.
+> The npm registry rejects packages > 100MB, so deployment uses **npm pack + scp**.
 
 ## Steps
 
-### 1. Publish to npm
+### 1. Build + pack locally
 
-Ensure the version in `package.json` is bumped and the package is published:
+Run the full build (includes hash-strip patch) and create the .tgz:
+
+// turbo
 
 ```bash
-npm publish
+cd /home/diegosouzapw/dev/proxys/9router && npm run build:cli && npm pack --ignore-scripts
 ```
 
-### 2. Install on VPS and restart PM2
+### 2. Copy to both VPS and install
 
 // turbo-all
 
 ```bash
-ssh root@69.164.221.35 "npm install -g omniroute@latest && pm2 restart omniroute && pm2 save && echo '✅ Deploy complete!'"
+scp omniroute-*.tgz root@69.164.221.35:/tmp/ && scp omniroute-*.tgz root@192.168.0.15:/tmp/
 ```
 
-For the local VPS:
+```bash
+ssh root@69.164.221.35 "npm install -g /tmp/omniroute-*.tgz --ignore-scripts && pm2 restart omniroute && pm2 save && echo '✅ Akamai done'"
+```
 
 ```bash
-ssh root@192.168.0.15 "npm install -g omniroute@latest && pm2 restart omniroute && pm2 save && echo '✅ Deploy complete!'"
+ssh root@192.168.0.15 "npm install -g /tmp/omniroute-*.tgz --ignore-scripts && pm2 restart omniroute && pm2 save && echo '✅ Local done'"
 ```
 
 ### 3. Verify the deployment
 
 ```bash
-ssh root@69.164.221.35 "pm2 list && cat \$(npm root -g)/omniroute/package.json | grep version | head -1 && curl -s -o /dev/null -w 'HTTP %{http_code}' http://localhost:20128/"
+ssh root@69.164.221.35 "pm2 list && cat \$(npm root -g)/omniroute/app/package.json | grep version | head -1 && curl -s -o /dev/null -w 'HTTP %{http_code}' http://localhost:20128/"
 ```
 
-Expected: PM2 shows `online`, version matches published, HTTP returns `307` (redirect to login).
+Expected: PM2 shows `online`, version matches, HTTP returns `307`.
 
 ## How it works
 
-1. `npm publish` builds Next.js standalone + bundles everything into the npm package
-2. `npm install -g omniroute@latest` downloads and installs to `/usr/lib/node_modules/omniroute/`
-3. PM2 is registered to run `npm start` from that directory (cwd: `/usr/lib/node_modules/omniroute`)
-4. `pm2 restart omniroute` picks up the new code immediately
+1. `npm run build:cli` builds Next.js standalone → `app/` and strips Turbopack hashed require() calls from chunks
+2. `npm pack --ignore-scripts` packages without re-running the build
+3. `scp` transfers the .tgz to each VPS (~286MB)
+4. `npm install -g /tmp/omniroute-*.tgz --ignore-scripts` installs pre-built package
+5. PM2 runs `app/server.js` from `/usr/lib/node_modules/omniroute`
 
-## PM2 Setup (one-time)

-If PM2 needs to be reconfigured from scratch:
+## PM2 Setup (one-time — if reconfiguring from scratch)
 
 ```bash
 ssh root@<VPS> "
-  cd /usr/lib/node_modules/omniroute &&
-  PORT=20128 pm2 start app/server.js --name omniroute --env PORT=20128 &&
-  pm2 save &&
-  pm2 startup
+  pm2 delete omniroute ;
+  cp /opt/omniroute-app/.env /usr/lib/node_modules/omniroute/.env &&
+  PORT=20128 pm2 start /usr/lib/node_modules/omniroute/app/server.js --name omniroute --cwd /usr/lib/node_modules/omniroute/app &&
+  pm2 save && pm2 startup
 "
 ```
 
+> [!NOTE]
+> Copy `.env` from the old installation first. For Akamai it was at `/opt/omniroute-app/.env`,
+> for the local VPS it was at `/root/omniroute-fresh/.env`.
+
 ## Notes
 
-- The `.env` file is at `/usr/lib/node_modules/omniroute/.env`. Back it up before major npm updates.
-- PM2 is configured with `pm2 startup` to auto-restart on reboot.
-- Nginx proxies `omniroute.online` → `localhost:20128`.
-- The VPS has only 1GB RAM — builds happen locally via `npm publish`, not on the VPS.
