-# MediaCMS Docker Restructure Summary - Version 7.3
+# MediaCMS Docker Restructure Summary

 ## Overview

-MediaCMS 7.3 introduces a complete Docker architecture restructure, moving from a monolithic supervisord-based setup to modern microservices with proper separation of concerns.
+This document summarizes the complete Docker architecture restructure for MediaCMS 7.3, eliminating supervisord and implementing modern Docker best practices.

-**⚠️ BREAKING CHANGES** - See [`UPGRADE_TO_7.3.md`](./UPGRADE_TO_7.3.md) for migration guide.

 ```

-## What Changed
-
-### 1. Container Services
-
-| Component | Before (7.x) | After (7.3) |
-|-----------|-------------|-------------|
-| **nginx** | Inside main container | Separate container |
-| **Django/uWSGI** | Inside main container | Dedicated `web` container |
-| **Celery Beat** | Inside main container | Dedicated container |
-| **Celery Workers** | Inside main container | Separate containers (short/long) |
-| **Migrations** | Via environment flag | Init container (runs once) |
-
-### 2. Volume Strategy
-
-| Data | Before (7.x) | After (7.3) |
-|------|-------------|-------------|
-| **Application code** | Bind mount `./` | **Built into image** |
-| **Media files** | `./media_files` | **Named volume** `media_files` |
-| **Static files** | `./static` | **Built into image** (collectstatic at build) |
-| **Logs** | `./logs` | **Named volume** `logs` |
-| **PostgreSQL** | `../postgres_data` | **Named volume** `postgres_data` |
-| **Custom config** | `cms/local_settings.py` | **Bind mount** `./custom/` |
-
-### 3. Removed Components
-
- ❌ supervisord and all supervisord configs
- ❌ docker-entrypoint.sh (permission fixing script)
- ❌ `ENABLE_*` environment variables
- ❌ Runtime collectstatic
- ❌ nginx from base image
-
-### 4. New Components
-
- ✅ `custom/` directory for user customizations
- ✅ Multi-stage Dockerfile (base, web, worker, worker-full)
- ✅ Separate nginx image (`Dockerfile.nginx`)
- ✅ Build-time collectstatic
- ✅ USER www-data (non-root containers)
- ✅ Health checks for all services
- ✅ Makefile with common tasks
-
 ## Key Improvements

-### Security
- ✅ Containers run as `www-data` (UID 33), not root
- ✅ Read-only mounts where possible
- ✅ Smaller attack surface per container
- ✅ No privilege escalation needed
+### 1. **Removed Components**
+- ❌ supervisord and all configs in `deploy/docker/supervisord/`
+- ❌ `deploy/docker/start.sh`
+- ❌ `deploy/docker/entrypoint.sh`
+- ❌ All `ENABLE_*` environment variables

-### Performance
- ✅ Named volumes have better I/O than bind mounts
- ✅ Static files built into image (no runtime collection)
- ✅ Faster container startups
- ✅ No chown on millions of files at startup
+### 2. **Separated Services**
+- Nginx runs in its own container
+- Django/uWSGI in dedicated web container
+- Celery workers split by task duration
+- Migrations run automatically on every startup

-### Scalability
- ✅ Scale web and workers independently
- ✅ Ready for load balancing
- ✅ Can use Docker Swarm or Kubernetes
- ✅ Horizontal scaling: `docker compose scale celery_short=3`
+### 3. **Production Ready**
+- No file mounts in production (immutable images)
+- Named volumes for data persistence
+- Proper health checks
+- Individual service scaling

-### Maintainability
- ✅ One process per container (proper separation)
- ✅ Clear service dependencies
- ✅ Standard Docker patterns
- ✅ Easier debugging (service-specific logs)
- ✅ Immutable images
+### 4. **Development Friendly**
+- Separate `-dev` compose file with file mounts
+- Django debug mode
+- Frontend hot reload
+- Live code editing

-### Developer Experience
- ✅ Separate dev compose with hot reload
- ✅ `custom/` directory for all customizations
- ✅ Clear documentation and examples
- ✅ Makefile targets for common tasks
+## Images to Build

-## New Customization System
-
-### The `custom/` Directory
-
-All user customizations now go in a dedicated directory:
-
-```
-custom/
-├── README.md                    # Full documentation
-├── local_settings.py.example    # Template file
-├── local_settings.py            # Your Django settings (gitignored)
-└── static/
-    ├── images/                  # Custom logos (gitignored)
-    │   └── logo_dark.png
-    └── css/                     # Custom CSS (gitignored)
-        └── custom.css
-```
-
-**Benefits:**
- Clear separation from core code
- Works out-of-box (empty directory is fine)
- Gitignored customizations
- Well documented with examples
-
-See [`custom/README.md`](./custom/README.md) for usage guide.
-
-## Docker Images
-
-### Images to Build
+For production, these images need to be built and pushed to Docker Hub:

 ```bash
-# Web image (Django + uWSGI)
+# Build base and web image
 docker build --target web -t mediacms/mediacms:7.3 .

-# Worker image (Celery)
+# Build worker image
 docker build --target worker -t mediacms/mediacms-worker:7.3 .

-# Worker-full image (Celery with extra codecs)
+# Build worker-full image
 docker build --target worker-full -t mediacms/mediacms-worker:7.3-full .

-# Nginx image
+# Build nginx image
 docker build -f Dockerfile.nginx -t mediacms/mediacms-nginx:7.3 .
 ```

-### Image Sizes
-
-| Image | Approximate Size |
-|-------|-----------------|
-| mediacms:7.3 | ~800MB |
-| mediacms-worker:7.3 | ~800MB |
-| mediacms-worker:7.3-full | ~1.2GB |
-| mediacms-nginx:7.3 | ~50MB |
-

 ```
-
-**Features:**
- Automatic SSL certificates
+- Automatic Let's Encrypt certificates
 - Auto-renewal
- nginx-proxy + acme-companion
- Production-ready

-## Minimal Deployment (No Code Required!)
+## Migration Path for Existing Systems

-**Version 7.3 requires ONLY:**
+### For Production Systems Currently Running

-1. ✅ `docker-compose.yaml` file
-2. ✅ Docker images (from Docker Hub)
-3. ⚠️ `custom/` directory (optional, only if customizing)
+1. **Backup first**
+   ```bash
+   docker exec <db_container> pg_dump -U mediacms mediacms > backup.sql
+   ```

-**No git repo needed!** Download docker-compose.yaml from release/docs and start.
+2. **Update compose file**
+   - Replace old docker-compose files with new ones
+   - Update domain settings in cert file if using HTTPS

-## Migration Requirements
+3. **Pull new images**
+   ```bash
+   docker pull mediacms/mediacms:7.3
+   docker pull mediacms/mediacms-worker:7.3
+   docker pull mediacms/mediacms-nginx:7.3
+   ```
+
+4. **Restart**
+   ```bash
+   docker compose down
+   docker compose up -d
+   ```

 ### Breaking Changes

-⚠️ **Not backward compatible** - Manual migration required
-
-**What needs migration:**
-1. ✅ PostgreSQL database (dump and restore)
-2. ✅ Media files (copy to named volume)
-3. ✅ Custom settings → `custom/local_settings.py` (if you had them)
-4. ✅ Custom logos/CSS → `custom/static/` (if you had them)
-5. ⚠️ Backup scripts (new volume paths)
-6. ⚠️ Monitoring (new container names)
-
-### Migration Steps
-
-See [`UPGRADE_TO_7.3.md`](./UPGRADE_TO_7.3.md) for complete guide.
-
-**Quick overview:**
-```bash
-# 1. Backup
-docker compose exec db pg_dump -U mediacms mediacms > backup.sql
-tar -czf media_backup.tar.gz media_files/
-cp docker-compose.yaml docker-compose.yaml.old
-
-# 2. Download new docker-compose.yaml
-wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mediacms-io/mediacms/v7.3/docker-compose.yaml
-
-# 3. Create custom/ if needed
-mkdir -p custom/static/{images,css}
-# Copy your old settings/logos if you had them
-
-# 4. Pull images and start
-docker compose pull
-docker compose up -d
-
-# 5. Restore data
-cat backup.sql | docker compose exec -T db psql -U mediacms mediacms
-# (See full guide for media migration)
-```

-make build-frontend         # Rebuild frontend assets
-make test                   # Run test suite
-```
-
-## Rollback Strategy
-
-If migration fails:
-
-```bash
-# 1. Stop new version
-docker compose down
-
-# 2. Checkout old version
-git checkout main
-
-# 3. Restore old compose
-git checkout main docker-compose.yaml
-
-# 4. Restore data from backups
-# (See UPGRADE_TO_7.3.md for details)
-
-# 5. Start old version
-docker compose up -d
-```
+1. **No more ENABLE_* variables** - Remove from any custom configs
+2. **deploy/docker/local_settings.py** - Now use environment variables or custom image
+3. **Service names changed**:
+   - `celery_worker` → `celery_short` + `celery_long`
+   - Added `nginx` service

-# After:
-docker compose logs -f web
-docker compose logs -f celery_long
+### Use Full Worker Image
+```yaml
+celery_long:
+  image: mediacms/mediacms-worker:7.3-full
 ```

-```bash
-# Before: docker exec -it <container> bash
-# After:
-make admin-shell
-# Or: docker compose exec web bash
-```
-
-### Restart Service
-```bash
-# Before: docker restart <container>
-# After:
-docker compose restart web
+### Set Custom Domain
+```yaml
+environment:
+  FRONTEND_HOST: 'https://videos.example.com'
+  PORTAL_NAME: 'My Video Portal'
 ```

 ### Scale Workers
 ```bash
-# New capability:
 docker compose up -d --scale celery_short=3 --scale celery_long=2
 ```

-### Database Backup
-```bash
-# Before: Custom script
-# After:
-make backup-db
-```
+## Files to Review Before Finalizing

-## Performance Considerations
-
-### Startup Time
- **Before**: Slower (chown on all files)
- **After**: Faster (no permission fixing)
-
-### I/O Performance
- **Before**: Bind mount overhead
- **After**: Named volumes (better performance)
-
-### Memory Usage
- **Before**: Single large container
- **After**: Multiple smaller containers (better resource allocation)
-
-## New Volume Management
-
-### List Volumes
-```bash
-docker volume ls | grep mediacms
-```
-
-### Inspect Volume
-```bash
-docker volume inspect mediacms_media_files
-```
-
-### Backup Volume
-```bash
-docker run --rm \
-  -v mediacms_media_files:/data:ro \
-  -v $(pwd):/backup \
-  alpine tar czf /backup/media_backup.tar.gz -C /data .
-```

-**Ready to upgrade?** Start with: [`UPGRADE_TO_7.3.md`](./UPGRADE_TO_7.3.md)
+## Backup
+
+Old Docker files have been backed up to `.docker-backup/` directory.
+
+## Rollback Plan
+
+If issues arise, rollback by:
+1. Reverting to old docker-compose files
+2. Using old image tags
+3. Restoring database from backup if needed
+
+Old files are preserved in `.docker-backup/` directory.

-# MediaCMS 7.3 - Quick Start
-
-## Minimal Deployment (No Code Required!)
-
-MediaCMS 7.3 can be deployed with **just 2 files**:
-
-1. `docker-compose.yaml`
-2. `custom/` directory (optional)
-
-**No git repo, no code checkout needed!** Everything runs from Docker images.
-
---
-
-## Fresh Installation
-
-### 1. Create deployment directory
-
-```bash
-mkdir mediacms && cd mediacms
-```
-
-### 2. Download docker-compose.yaml
-
-```bash
-wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mediacms-io/mediacms/v7.3/docker-compose.yaml
-```
-
-Or with curl:
-```bash
-curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mediacms-io/mediacms/v7.3/docker-compose.yaml
-```
-
-### 3. Start MediaCMS
-
-```bash
-docker compose up -d
-```
-
-### 4. Access your site
-
- **Frontend**: http://localhost
- **Admin**: http://localhost/admin
-  - Username: `admin`
-  - Password: Check logs for auto-generated password:
-    ```bash
-    docker compose logs migrations | grep "password:"
-    ```
-
-**That's it!** 🎉
-
---
-
-## Optional: Customization
-
-### Add Custom Settings
-
-```bash
-# 1. Create custom directory
-mkdir -p custom/static/{images,css}
-
-# 2. Download example template
-wget -O custom/local_settings.py.example \
-  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mediacms-io/mediacms/v7.3/custom/local_settings.py.example
-
-# 3. Copy and edit
-cp custom/local_settings.py.example custom/local_settings.py
-nano custom/local_settings.py
-```
-
-Example customizations:
-```python
-# custom/local_settings.py
-DEBUG = False
-ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['media.example.com']
-PORTAL_NAME = "My Media Portal"
-```
-
-### Add Custom Logo
-
-```bash
-# 1. Copy your logo
-cp ~/my-logo.png custom/static/images/logo_dark.png
-
-# 2. Reference in settings
-cat >> custom/local_settings.py <<EOF
-PORTAL_LOGO_DARK_PNG = "/custom/static/images/logo_dark.png"
-EOF
-
-# 3. Restart (no rebuild needed!)
-docker compose restart web
-```
-
-### Add Custom CSS
-
-```bash
-# 1. Create CSS file
-cat > custom/static/css/custom.css <<EOF
-body {
-    font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;
-}
-EOF
-
-# 2. Reference in settings
-cat >> custom/local_settings.py <<EOF
-EXTRA_CSS_PATHS = ["/custom/static/css/custom.css"]
-EOF
-
-# 3. Restart (no rebuild needed!)
-docker compose restart web
-```
-
-**Note**: Both settings AND static files only need restart - nginx serves custom/ files directly!
-
---
-
-## HTTPS with Let's Encrypt
-
-### 1. Download cert overlay
-
-```bash
-wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mediacms-io/mediacms/v7.3/docker-compose-cert.yaml
-```
-
-### 2. Edit domains
-
-```bash
-nano docker-compose-cert.yaml
-```
-
-Change these lines:
-```yaml
-VIRTUAL_HOST: 'media.example.com'        # Your domain
-LETSENCRYPT_HOST: 'media.example.com'    # Your domain
-LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL: 'admin@example.com'   # Your email
-```
-
-### 3. Start with SSL
-
-```bash
-docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml -f docker-compose-cert.yaml up -d
-```
-
-**SSL certificates are issued automatically!**

-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Can't access the site?
-
-Check services are running:
-```bash
-docker compose ps
-```
-
-All services should be "Up" or "Exited (0)" for migrations.
-
-### Forgot admin password?
-
-Check logs:
-```bash
-docker compose logs migrations | grep "password:"
-```
-
-Or create new admin:
-```bash
-docker compose exec web python manage.py createsuperuser
-```
-
-### Videos not encoding?
-
-Check celery workers:
-```bash
-docker compose logs celery_long
-docker compose logs celery_short
-```
-
-### Port 80 already in use?
-
-Edit docker-compose.yaml to use different port:
-```yaml
-nginx:
-  ports:
-    - "8080:80"  # Use port 8080 instead
-```
-
-Then access at http://localhost:8080

-
-## ⚠️ Upgrading from 7.x? Continue reading...
-
-## What Changed in 7.3
-
-### Architecture Changes
- **Before**: Monolithic container (supervisor + nginx + uwsgi + celery in one)
- **After**: Microservices (separate nginx, web, celery_beat, celery_short, celery_long containers)
-
-### Volume Strategy Changes
- **Before**: Entire project directory mounted (`./:/home/mediacms.io/mediacms/`)
- **After**: Named volumes for data, bind mount only for `custom/` directory
-
-### Specific Changes
-
-| Component | Before (7.x) | After (7.3) |
-|-----------|-------------|-------------|
-| media_files | Bind mount `./media_files` | Named volume `media_files` |
-| static files | Bind mount `./static` | Named volume `static_files` (built into image) |
-| logs | Bind mount `./logs` | Named volume `logs` |
-| postgres_data | `../postgres_data` | Named volume `postgres_data` |
-| Custom config | `cms/local_settings.py` in mounted dir | `custom/local_settings.py` bind mount |
-| Static collection | Runtime (via entrypoint) | Build time (in Dockerfile) |
-| User | Root with gosu switch | www-data from start |
-
-## What You Need for 7.3
-
-**Minimal deployment - NO CODE REQUIRED:**
-
-1. ✅ `docker-compose.yaml` (download from release or docs)
-2. ✅ Docker images (pulled from Docker Hub)
-3. ⚠️ `custom/` directory (only if you have customizations)
-
-**That's it!** No git repo, no code checkout needed.
-
-## Pre-Upgrade Checklist
-
-### 1. Backup Everything
-
-```bash
-# Stop services
-docker compose down
-
-# Backup media files
-tar -czf backup_media_$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz media_files/
-
-# Backup database
-docker compose up -d db
-docker compose exec db pg_dump -U mediacms mediacms > backup_db_$(date +%Y%m%d).sql
-docker compose down
-
-# Backup logs (optional)
-tar -czf backup_logs_$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz logs/
-
-# Backup local settings if you had them
-cp cms/local_settings.py backup_local_settings.py 2>/dev/null || echo "No local_settings.py found"
-
-# Backup current docker-compose.yaml
-cp docker-compose.yaml docker-compose.yaml.old
-```
-
-### 2. Document Current Setup
-
-```bash
-# Save current docker-compose version
-git branch backup-pre-7.3-upgrade
-
-# Document current state
-docker compose ps > pre_upgrade_state.txt
-docker compose config > pre_upgrade_config.yaml
-df -h > pre_upgrade_disk_usage.txt
-```
-
-### 3. Check Disk Space
-
-You'll need enough space for:
- Existing data (media_files, postgres_data)
- New Docker volumes (will copy data here)
- Database dump
-
-```bash
-du -sh media_files/ postgres_data/ logs/
-df -h .
-```
-
-## Upgrade Methods
-
-### Method 1: Clean Migration (Recommended)
-
-This method migrates your data to the new volume structure.
-
-#### Step 1: Get New docker-compose.yaml
-
-**Option A: Download from release**
-```bash
-# Download docker-compose.yaml for 7.3
-wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mediacms-io/mediacms/v7.3/docker-compose.yaml
-
-# Or using curl
-curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mediacms-io/mediacms/v7.3/docker-compose.yaml
-
-# Optional: Download HTTPS version
-wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mediacms-io/mediacms/v7.3/docker-compose-cert.yaml
-```
-
-**Option B: Copy from docs/release notes**
- Copy the docker-compose.yaml content from release notes
- Save as `docker-compose.yaml` in your deployment directory
-
-#### Step 2: Prepare Custom Configuration (if needed)
-
-```bash
-# Create custom directory structure (only if you need customizations)
-mkdir -p custom/static/{images,css}
-touch custom/static/{images,css}/.gitkeep
-
-# If you had local_settings.py, create it in custom/
-if [ -f backup_local_settings.py ]; then
-    # Copy your old settings
-    cp backup_local_settings.py custom/local_settings.py
-    echo "✓ Migrated local_settings.py"
-else
-    # Download example template (optional)
-    wget -O custom/local_settings.py.example \
-      https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mediacms-io/mediacms/v7.3/custom/local_settings.py.example
-    echo "Downloaded example template to custom/local_settings.py.example"
-fi
-
-# Copy any custom logos/css you had
-# (adjust paths as needed for your old setup)
-# cp my-old-logo.png custom/static/images/logo_dark.png
-# cp my-custom.css custom/static/css/custom.css
-```
-
-#### Step 3: Start New Stack (Without Data)
-
-```bash
-# Pull new images
-docker compose pull
-
-# Start database first
-docker compose up -d db redis
-
-# Wait for DB to be ready
-sleep 10
-```
-
-#### Step 4: Restore Database
-
-```bash
-# Copy backup into container
-docker compose cp backup_db_*.sql db:/tmp/backup.sql
-
-# Restore database
-docker compose exec db psql -U mediacms mediacms < /tmp/backup.sql
-
-# Or from host:
-cat backup_db_*.sql | docker compose exec -T db psql -U mediacms mediacms
-```
-
-#### Step 5: Restore Media Files
-
-```bash
-# Start all services (will create volumes)
-docker compose up -d
-
-# Find the volume name
-docker volume ls | grep media_files
-
-# Copy media files to volume
-# Method A: Using a temporary container
-docker run --rm \
-  -v $(pwd)/media_files:/source:ro \
-  -v mediacms_media_files:/dest \
-  alpine sh -c "cp -av /source/* /dest/"
-
-# Method B: Using existing container
-docker compose exec web sh -c "exit"  # Ensure web is running
-# Then copy from host
-tar -C media_files -cf - . | docker compose exec -T web tar -C /home/mediacms.io/mediacms/media_files -xf -
-```
-
-#### Step 6: Verify and Test
-
-```bash
-# Check logs
-docker compose logs -f web
-
-# Verify media files are accessible
-docker compose exec web ls -la /home/mediacms.io/mediacms/media_files/
-
-# Check database connection
-docker compose exec web python manage.py dbshell
-
-# Access the site
-curl http://localhost
-
-# Check admin panel
-# Visit http://localhost/admin
-```
-
-### Method 2: In-Place Migration with Symlinks (Advanced)
-
-**Warning**: This is more complex but avoids data copying.
-
-#### Step 1: Keep Old Data Locations
-
-```bash
-# Modify docker-compose.yaml to mount old locations temporarily
-# Add to appropriate services:
-volumes:
-  - ./media_files:/home/mediacms.io/mediacms/media_files
-  - ./logs:/home/mediacms.io/mediacms/logs
-  # Instead of named volumes
-```
-
-#### Step 2: Gradually Migrate
-
-After confirming everything works:
-1. Copy data to named volumes
-2. Remove bind mounts
-3. Switch to named volumes
-
-### Method 3: Fresh Install (If Possible)
-
-If your MediaCMS instance is new or test:
-
-```bash
-# Backup what you need
-# ...
-
-# Clean slate
-docker compose down -v
-rm -rf media_files/ logs/ static/
-
-# Fresh start
-docker compose up -d
-```
-
-## Post-Upgrade Steps
-
-### 1. Verify Everything Works
-
-```bash
-# Check all services are running
-docker compose ps
-
-# Should see: migrations (exited 0), web, nginx, celery_beat, celery_short, celery_long, db, redis
-
-# Check logs for errors
-docker compose logs web
-docker compose logs nginx
-
-# Test upload functionality
-# Test video encoding (check celery_long logs)
-# Test frontend
-```
-
-### 2. Verify Media Files
-
-```bash
-# Check media files are accessible
-docker compose exec web ls -lh /home/mediacms.io/mediacms/media_files/
-
-# Check file counts match
-# Old: ls media_files/ | wc -l
-# New: docker compose exec web sh -c "ls /home/mediacms.io/mediacms/media_files/ | wc -l"
-```
-
-### 3. Verify Database
-
-```bash
-# Check users
-docker compose exec db psql -U mediacms mediacms -c "SELECT count(*) FROM users_user;"
-
-# Check videos
-docker compose exec db psql -U mediacms mediacms -c "SELECT count(*) FROM files_media;"
-```
-
-### 4. Update Backups
-
-```bash
-# Update your backup scripts for new volume locations
-# Use: make backup-db (if Makefile target exists)
-# Or: docker compose exec db pg_dump ...
-```
-
-## Rollback Procedure
-
-If something goes wrong:
-
-### Quick Rollback
-
-```bash
-# Stop new version
-docker compose down
-
-# Restore old docker-compose file
-mv docker-compose.yaml.old docker-compose.yaml
-
-# Pull old images (if you had old image tags documented)
-docker compose pull
-
-# Start old version
-docker compose up -d
-```
-
-### Full Rollback with Data Restore
-
-```bash
-# Stop everything
-docker compose down -v
-
-# Restore old docker-compose
-mv docker-compose.yaml.old docker-compose.yaml
-
-# Restore backups
-tar -xzf backup_media_*.tar.gz -C ./media_files
-cat backup_db_*.sql | docker compose exec -T db psql -U mediacms mediacms
-
-# Start old version
-docker compose up -d
-```
-
-## Common Issues & Solutions
-
-### Issue: "Volume not found"
-
-**Solution**: Volumes are created with project name prefix. Check:
-```bash
-docker volume ls
-# Look for: mediacms_media_files, mediacms_static_files, etc.
-```
-
-### Issue: "Permission denied" on media files
-
-**Solution**: Files must be owned by www-data (UID 33)
-```bash
-docker compose exec web chown -R www-data:www-data /home/mediacms.io/mediacms/media_files
-```
-
-### Issue: Static files not loading
-
-**Solution**: Rebuild image (collectstatic runs at build time)
-```bash
-docker compose down
-docker compose build --no-cache web
-docker compose up -d
-```
-
-### Issue: Database connection refused
-
-**Solution**: Check database is healthy
-```bash
-docker compose logs db
-docker compose exec db pg_isready -U mediacms
-```
-
-### Issue: Custom settings not loading
-
-**Solution**: Check custom/local_settings.py exists and syntax
-```bash
-docker compose exec web cat /home/mediacms.io/mediacms/custom/local_settings.py
-docker compose exec web python -m py_compile /home/mediacms.io/mediacms/custom/local_settings.py
-```
-
-## Performance Considerations
-
-### New Volume Performance
-
-Named volumes are typically faster than bind mounts:
- **Before**: Filesystem overhead on host
- **After**: Direct container filesystem (better I/O)
-
-### Monitoring Volume Usage
-
-```bash
-# Check volume sizes
-docker system df -v
-
-# Check specific volume
-docker volume inspect mediacms_media_files
-```
-
-## New Backup Strategy
-
-With named volumes, backups change:
-
-```bash
-# Database backup
-docker compose exec db pg_dump -U mediacms mediacms > backup.sql
-
-# Media files backup
-docker run --rm \
-  -v mediacms_media_files:/data:ro \
-  -v $(pwd):/backup \
-  alpine tar czf /backup/media_backup_$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz -C /data .
-```
-
-Or use the Makefile:
-```bash
-make backup-db
-```
-
-## Getting Help
-
-If you encounter issues:
-
-1. **Check logs**: `docker compose logs <service>`
-2. **Check GitHub Issues**: Search for similar problems
-3. **Rollback**: Use the rollback procedure above
-4. **Report**: Open an issue with:
-   - Your docker-compose.yaml
-   - Output of `docker compose ps`
-   - Relevant logs
-   - Steps to reproduce
-
-## Summary of Benefits
-
-After upgrading to 7.3:
-
-✅ **Better separation of concerns** - each service has one job
-✅ **Easier scaling** - scale web/workers independently
-✅ **Better security** - containers run as www-data, not root
-✅ **Faster deployments** - static files built into image
-✅ **Cleaner customization** - dedicated custom/ directory
-✅ **Easier SSL setup** - docker-compose-cert.yaml overlay
-✅ **Better volume management** - named volumes instead of bind mounts
-
-## Timeline Recommendation
-
- **Small instance** (<100 videos): 30-60 minutes
- **Medium instance** (100-1000 videos): 1-3 hours
- **Large instance** (>1000 videos): Plan for several hours
-
-Schedule during low-traffic period!

-# Custom Configuration
-
-This directory allows you to customize MediaCMS without modifying the codebase or rebuilding images.
-
-## How It Works - Production Ready!
-
-**The Flow:**
-
-```
-1. CI/CD builds base image:       docker build (no custom files)
-                                  ↓
-                                  Pushes to Docker Hub
-
-2. Production pulls image:        docker compose pull
-                                  ↓
-                                  Mounts custom/ directory
-
-3. You add files:                 custom/static/css/custom.css
-                                  custom/static/images/logo.png
-                                  ↓
-                                  Nginx serves directly!
-
-4. You reference in settings:     EXTRA_CSS_PATHS = ["/custom/static/css/custom.css"]
-                                  PORTAL_LOGO_DARK_PNG = "/custom/static/images/logo.png"
-                                  ↓
-                                  Restart containers
-
-5. Done! No rebuild needed!
-```
-
-**Key Points:**
- ✅ Files go in `custom/static/` on your host
- ✅ Nginx serves them directly from `/custom/static/` URL
- ✅ **NO rebuild needed** - just restart containers!
- ✅ Works with pre-built images from Docker Hub
- ✅ Perfect for production deployments
-
-## Quick Start
-
-### Option 1: No Customization (Default)
-Just run docker compose - everything works out of the box:
-```bash
-docker compose up -d
-```
-
-### Option 2: With Customization
-Add your custom files, then restart:
-```bash
-# 1. Copy example settings
-cp custom/local_settings.py.example custom/local_settings.py
-
-# 2. Edit settings
-nano custom/local_settings.py
-
-# 3. Restart containers (no rebuild!)
-docker compose restart web celery_beat celery_short celery_long
-```
-
-## Customization Options
-
-### 1. Django Settings (`local_settings.py`)
-
-**Create the file:**
-```bash
-cp custom/local_settings.py.example custom/local_settings.py
-```
-
-**Edit with your settings:**
-```python
-# custom/local_settings.py
-DEBUG = False
-ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['example.com']
-PORTAL_NAME = "My Media Site"
-```
-
-**Apply changes (restart only - no rebuild):**
-```bash
-docker compose restart web celery_beat celery_short celery_long
-```
-
-### 2. Custom Logo
-
-**Add your logo:**
-```bash
-cp ~/my-logo.png custom/static/images/logo_dark.png
-```
-
-**Reference it in settings:**
-```bash
-cat >> custom/local_settings.py <<EOF
-PORTAL_LOGO_DARK_PNG = "/custom/static/images/logo_dark.png"
-EOF
-```
-
-**Restart (no rebuild needed!):**
-```bash
-docker compose restart web
-```
-
-### 3. Custom CSS
-
-**Create CSS file:**
-```bash
-cat > custom/static/css/custom.css <<EOF
-body {
-    font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;
-}
-.header {
-    background-color: #333;
-}
-EOF
-```
-
-**Reference it in settings:**
-```bash
-cat >> custom/local_settings.py <<EOF
-EXTRA_CSS_PATHS = ["/custom/static/css/custom.css"]
-EOF
-```
-
-**Restart (no rebuild needed!):**
-```bash
-docker compose restart web
-```
-

-├── README.md                    # This file
-├── local_settings.py.example    # Template (copy to local_settings.py)

-    └── css/                     # Custom CSS (gitignored)
-        └── custom.css
-```
-
-## Important Notes
-
-✅ **No rebuild needed** - nginx serves custom/ files directly
-✅ **Works with pre-built images** - perfect for production
-✅ **Files are gitignored** - your customizations won't be committed
-✅ **Settings need restart only** - just restart containers
-✅ **Static files also just restart** - served directly by nginx
-
-## Complete Example
-
-```bash
-# 1. Create settings file
-cp custom/local_settings.py.example custom/local_settings.py
-
-# 2. Add custom logo
-cp ~/logo.png custom/static/images/logo_dark.png
-
-# 3. Add custom CSS
-echo "body { background: #f5f5f5; }" > custom/static/css/custom.css
-
-# 4. Configure settings to use them
-cat >> custom/local_settings.py <<EOF
-
-# Custom branding
-PORTAL_NAME = "My Media Portal"
-PORTAL_LOGO_DARK_PNG = "/custom/static/images/logo_dark.png"
-EXTRA_CSS_PATHS = ["/custom/static/css/custom.css"]
-
-# Security
-DEBUG = False
-ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['media.example.com']
-EOF
-
-# 5. Apply changes (just restart!)
-docker compose restart web
-
-# Done! No rebuild needed.
-```
-
-## URL Paths Explained
-
-| Your file | nginx serves at | You reference as |
-|-----------|----------------|------------------|
-| `custom/static/css/custom.css` | `http://localhost/custom/static/css/custom.css` | `"/custom/static/css/custom.css"` |
-| `custom/static/images/logo.png` | `http://localhost/custom/static/images/logo.png` | `"/custom/static/images/logo.png"` |
-
-**Why `/custom/static/`?**
- Distinguishes from core `/static/` (built into image)
- Allows nginx to serve from different mount point
- No rebuild needed when files change
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-**Changes not appearing?**
- Restart containers: `docker compose restart web nginx`
- Check nginx has custom/ mounted: `docker compose exec nginx ls /var/www/custom`
- Check file exists: `docker compose exec nginx ls /var/www/custom/css/`
- Test URL: `curl http://localhost/custom/static/css/custom.css`
-
-**Import errors?**
- Make sure `local_settings.py` has valid Python syntax
- Check logs: `docker compose logs web`
-
-**Logo not showing?**
- Verify file is in `custom/static/images/`
- Check path in `local_settings.py` uses `/custom/static/` prefix
- Restart web container: `docker compose restart web`
-
-## Advanced: Multiple CSS Files
-
-```python
-# custom/local_settings.py
-EXTRA_CSS_PATHS = [
-    "/custom/static/css/colors.css",
-    "/custom/static/css/fonts.css",
-    "/custom/static/css/layout.css",
-]
-```
-
-## Advanced: Environment-Specific Settings
-
-```python
-# custom/local_settings.py
-import os
-
-if os.getenv('ENVIRONMENT') == 'production':
-    DEBUG = False
-    ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['media.example.com']
-else:
-    DEBUG = True
-    ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*']
-```
-
-Then set in docker-compose.yaml:
-```yaml
-web:
-  environment:
-    ENVIRONMENT: production
-```
