+# Deployment Checklist
+
+Use this checklist when deploying a new service to ensure you don't miss critical steps.
+
+## Pre-Deployment
+
+### Application Requirements
+
+- [ ] **Health endpoint implemented** - `/health` returns 200 OK
+  - Returns JSON with status
+  - Responds quickly (<500ms)
+  - Doesn't block on external services
+  
+- [ ] **Port configuration** - App reads `PORT` from environment
+  ```python
+  PORT = int(os.getenv('PORT', 5000))
+  app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=PORT)
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Graceful shutdown** - App handles SIGTERM signal
+  - Closes connections cleanly
+  - Finishes current requests
+  - Exits within 30 seconds
+
+- [ ] **Logging configured** - Uses stdout/stderr
+  - Structured logging (JSON preferred)
+  - Includes timestamps
+  - No log files (Nomad captures stdout)
+
+### Docker Image
+
+- [ ] **Dockerfile complete** - Based on `Dockerfile.complete`
+  - Multi-stage build (smaller image)
+  - Non-root user (uid 1000)
+  - Health check defined
+  - Minimal base image
+
+- [ ] **Image tested locally**
+  ```bash
+  docker build -t myapp:test .
+  docker run -p 5000:5000 -e PORT=5000 myapp:test
+  curl http://localhost:5000/health
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Image pushed to registry**
+  ```bash
+  docker tag myapp:test registry.i80.dk/gitea/myapp:latest
+  docker push registry.i80.dk/gitea/myapp:latest
+  ```
+
+### Nomad Job Configuration
+
+- [ ] **Job file created** - Copy from `nomad-job-complete.hcl.tmpl`
+  - Replace `[[PROJECT_NAME]]` with actual name
+  - Replace `[[PORT]]` with app port (usually 5000)
+  - Update resource limits (CPU/memory)
+
+- [ ] **Health check configured** - Uses named port, not hardcoded
+  ```hcl
+  check {
+    port = "http"  # NOT "5000"!
+  }
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Traefik tags correct** - Domain matches expected URL
+  ```hcl
+  "traefik.http.routers.myapp.rule=Host(`myapp.i80.dk`)"
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Volumes declared** (if needed)
+  - Volume source matches Autobox config
+  - Mount path correct
+  - Permissions considered
+
+- [ ] **Secrets configured** - Using chosen workaround method
+  - Environment variables OR
+  - File-based secrets OR
+  - Consul KV
+
+- [ ] **Job validates** - No syntax errors
+  ```bash
+  nomad job validate nomad-job.hcl
+  ```
+
+### Autobox Configuration
+
+- [ ] **Volumes created** (if needed)
+  ```bash
+  # Run on Autobox
+  sudo ./setup-nomad-volumes.sh myapp
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Volumes show in agent-info**
+  ```bash
+  nomad agent-info | grep myapp-data
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Secrets file created** (if using file-based secrets)
+  ```bash
+  sudo vim /opt/nomad-secrets/myapp/secrets.env
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Permissions correct**
+  ```bash
+  ls -la /opt/nomad-volumes/myapp-data  # Should be 1000:1000
+  ```
+
+### Gitea CI/CD (if using)
+
+- [ ] **Workflow file created** - Copy from `main.yml.tmpl`
+  - Replace `[[PROJECT_NAME]]` everywhere
+  - Registry credentials configured
+
+- [ ] **Secrets configured** - In Gitea repository settings
+  - `secrets.username` - Registry username
+  - `secrets.password` - Registry password
+
+- [ ] **Self-hosted runner** - Has necessary access
+  - Docker installed
+  - Nomad CLI installed
+  - SSH access to Nomad server
+
+## Deployment
+
+### Initial Deployment
+
+- [ ] **Job submitted**
+  ```bash
+  nomad job run nomad-job.hcl
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Allocation running**
+  ```bash
+  nomad job status myapp
+  # Should show: Running = 1
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **No errors in logs**
+  ```bash
+  nomad alloc logs -f <alloc-id> myapp-task
+  ```
+
+### Consul Registration
+
+- [ ] **Service registered**
+  ```bash
+  consul catalog service myapp
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Service healthy**
+  ```bash
+  consul catalog service myapp
+  # Look for: Checks: http_health: passing
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Tags correct**
+  ```bash
+  consul catalog service myapp
+  # Verify traefik tags present
+  ```
+
+### DNS & Access
+
+- [ ] **DNS record created** - Check consul-template output
+  ```bash
+  cat /certs/consul/trinity_powerdns_records.txt | grep myapp
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Nginx config generated**
+  ```bash
+  grep myapp /certs/consul-nginx/conf.d/services.conf
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Nginx reloaded** - Check watcher logs
+  ```bash
+  tail -f /var/log/nginx_restater.log
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Service accessible** - Test public URL
+  ```bash
+  curl https://myapp.i80.dk
+  curl https://myapp.i80.dk/health
+  ```
+
+## Post-Deployment
+
+### Verification
+
+- [ ] **Health check passing** - For at least 5 minutes
+  ```bash
+  watch -n 5 'consul catalog service myapp'
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **No restarts** - Allocation stable
+  ```bash
+  nomad alloc status <alloc-id>
+  # Check "Recent Events" - no restarts
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Logs clean** - No errors or warnings
+  ```bash
+  nomad alloc logs -f <alloc-id> myapp-task
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Performance acceptable**
+  - Response time < 1s
+  - Memory usage stable
+  - CPU usage reasonable
+
+### Monitoring
+
+- [ ] **Metrics accessible** - If implemented
+  ```bash
+  curl https://myapp.i80.dk/metrics
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Logs searchable** - Can find application logs
+  ```bash
+  nomad alloc logs -f <alloc-id> myapp-task | grep ERROR
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Alerts configured** - If using monitoring system
+  - Health check failures
+  - High error rate
+  - High memory usage
+
+### Documentation
+
+- [ ] **Service documented** - In team wiki/docs
+  - What it does
+  - Where it's deployed
+  - How to access it
+  - Known issues
+
+- [ ] **Runbook created** - For operational issues
+  - How to restart
+  - How to check logs
+  - Common troubleshooting steps
+  - Escalation path
+
+- [ ] **Secrets documented** - Where they're stored
+  - Which Consul KV keys
+  - Which files on Autobox
+  - Who has access
+
+## Rollback Plan
+
+- [ ] **Previous version tagged** - In case of issues
+  ```bash
+  docker tag myapp:latest myapp:stable
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Rollback tested** - Know how to revert
+  ```bash
+  # Update job file to use :stable tag
+  # nomad job run nomad-job.hcl
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Data backup** - Before first deployment
+  ```bash
+  # If using volumes
+  sudo tar -czf /backup/myapp-data.tar.gz /opt/nomad-volumes/myapp-data
+  ```
+
+## Common Issues Checklist
+
+If deployment fails, check:
+
+- [ ] Is `/health` endpoint implemented and returning 200?
+- [ ] Is app binding to `0.0.0.0` (not `127.0.0.1`)?
+- [ ] Is app reading `PORT` from environment variable?
+- [ ] Are health check port references correct (no hardcoded ports)?
+- [ ] Do volume paths match between Autobox and Nomad job?
+- [ ] Are volume permissions correct (uid 1000)?
+- [ ] Are secrets accessible (environment or files)?
+- [ ] Is Docker image pulling successfully?
+- [ ] Is allocation getting scheduled (not pending)?
+- [ ] Are there port conflicts?
+
+## Quick Debugging Commands
+
+```bash
+# Service status
+consul catalog service myapp
+nomad job status myapp
+
+# Allocation details
+ALLOC_ID=$(nomad job status myapp | grep running | head -1 | awk '{print $1}')
+nomad alloc status $ALLOC_ID
+
+# Logs
+nomad alloc logs -f $ALLOC_ID myapp-task
+nomad alloc logs -stderr -f $ALLOC_ID myapp-task
+
+# Exec into container
+nomad alloc exec -i -t $ALLOC_ID /bin/sh
+
+# Health check test
+PORT=$(nomad alloc status $ALLOC_ID | grep "Port.*http" | awk '{print $3}' | cut -d':' -f2)
+curl http://192.168.15.124:$PORT/health
+
+# Restart
+nomad job restart myapp
+
+# Force reschedule
+nomad job stop -purge myapp
+nomad job run nomad-job.hcl
+```

+# Nomad Deployment Guide for i80.dk Infrastructure
+
+**Last Updated:** 2025-11-28
+
+This guide covers deploying Python applications to your Nomad cluster with proper health checks, volumes, and Vault workarounds.

+- [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting)
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Add Health Endpoint to Your App
+
+**CRITICAL:** Your app MUST respond to `/health` with HTTP 200 OK.
+
+```python
+@app.route('/health')
+def health():
+    return jsonify({'status': 'healthy'}), 200
+```
+
+### 2. Use Complete Nomad Job Template
+
+Copy `.gitea/workflows/nomad-job-complete.hcl.tmpl` to your project and customize:
+
+```bash
+cp .gitea/workflows/nomad-job-complete.hcl.tmpl .gitea/workflows/nomad-job.hcl
+```
+
+Replace `[[PROJECT_NAME]]` and `[[PORT]]` with your values.
+
+### 3. Build and Deploy
+
+```bash
+# Build Docker image
+docker build -t registry.i80.dk/gitea/myapp:latest .
+
+# Push to registry
+docker push registry.i80.dk/gitea/myapp:latest
+
+# Deploy to Nomad
+nomad job run .gitea/workflows/nomad-job.hcl
+```
+
+---
+
+## Health Checks - The #1 Pain Point
+
+### Why Health Checks Fail
+
+**Common mistakes:**
+
+1. ❌ **No /health endpoint** - App doesn't implement health endpoint
+2. ❌ **Wrong port** - Health check uses wrong port variable
+3. ❌ **App not ready** - Health check runs before app starts
+4. ❌ **Blocking endpoint** - /health takes too long to respond
+5. ❌ **Wrong HTTP method** - App expects POST, Consul sends GET
+
+### Proper Health Check Implementation
+
+**In your Flask app:**
+
+```python
+import time
+
+app_start_time = time.time()
+
+@app.route('/health')
+def health():
+    """
+    Health check endpoint for Consul/Nomad.
+    
+    Returns:
+        200 OK: Service is healthy
+        503: Service is not ready or shutting down
+    """
+    # Give app time to initialize (optional)
+    if time.time() - app_start_time < 5:
+        return jsonify({'status': 'starting'}), 503
+    
+    # Add your health checks
+    try:
+        # Check database connection
+        # db.execute("SELECT 1")
+        
+        # Check external dependencies
+        # api_client.ping()
+        
+        return jsonify({
+            'status': 'healthy',
+            'uptime': time.time() - app_start_time
+        }), 200
+        
+    except Exception as e:
+        return jsonify({
+            'status': 'unhealthy',
+            'error': str(e)
+        }), 503
+```
+
+**In your Nomad job:**
+
+```hcl
+service {
+  name = "myapp"
+  port = "http"
+  
+  check {
+    name     = "http_health"
+    type     = "http"
+    path     = "/health"
+    interval = "10s"
+    timeout  = "2s"
+    port     = "http"  # Use named port, NOT hardcoded!
+    
+    # Give app time to start before first check
+    check_restart {
+      limit           = 3
+      grace           = "10s"
+      ignore_warnings = false
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Testing Health Checks Locally
+
+```bash
+# Start your app
+python app.py
+
+# Test health endpoint
+curl http://localhost:5000/health
+
+# Should return:
+# {"status": "healthy", "uptime": 123.45}
+```
+
+### Common Health Check Issues
+
+**Issue: Service marked unhealthy immediately**
+
+**Solution:** Add `check_restart` grace period:
+
+```hcl
+check_restart {
+  limit = 3
+  grace = "10s"  # Wait 10s before first check
+}
+```
+
+**Issue: Health check timeout**
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+Health check timed out (timeout: 2s)
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Make /health endpoint faster
+- Increase timeout: `timeout = "5s"`
+- Remove slow operations from health check
+
+**Issue: Wrong port**
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+Connection refused on port 5000
+```
+
+**Solution:** Use dynamic port in Nomad job:
+
+```hcl
+# ❌ WRONG - hardcoded port
+check {
+  port = "5000"
+}
+
+# ✅ CORRECT - use named port
+check {
+  port = "http"
+}
+
+# And in your app environment:
+env {
+  PORT = "${NOMAD_PORT_http}"
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Host Volumes - The #2 Pain Point
+
+### Why Host Volumes Fail
+
+**Common mistakes:**
+
+1. ❌ **Volume not declared on Nomad client** - Must configure on Autobox first!
+2. ❌ **Wrong source name** - Source must match client config
+3. ❌ **Permission issues** - Volume owned by root, app runs as user
+4. ❌ **Mount path conflicts** - Path already exists in container
+
+### Setting Up Host Volumes
+
+**Step 1: Configure on Nomad Client (Autobox)**
+
+**File:** `/etc/nomad.d/client.hcl` on Autobox
+
+```hcl
+client {
+  enabled = true
+  
+  host_volume "myapp-data" {
+    path      = "/opt/nomad-volumes/myapp-data"
+    read_only = false
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Create directory:**
+
+```bash
+# On Autobox
+sudo mkdir -p /opt/nomad-volumes/myapp-data
+sudo chown 1000:1000 /opt/nomad-volumes/myapp-data  # Match container user
+sudo chmod 755 /opt/nomad-volumes/myapp-data
+```
+
+**Restart Nomad client:**
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl restart nomad
+```
+
+**Step 2: Use Volume in Nomad Job**
+
+```hcl
+group "myapp-group" {
+  volume "data" {
+    type      = "host"
+    source    = "myapp-data"  # Must match name in client.hcl
+    read_only = false
+  }
+  
+  task "myapp-task" {
+    volume_mount {
+      volume      = "data"
+      destination = "/app/data"
+      read_only   = false
+    }
+    
+    config {
+      image = "registry.i80.dk/gitea/myapp:latest"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Step 3: Use in Your App**
+
+```python
+import os
+
+# Data directory from mounted volume
+DATA_DIR = os.getenv('DATA_DIR', '/app/data')
+
+# SQLite database in persistent volume
+db_path = os.path.join(DATA_DIR, 'app.db')
+```
+
+### Volume Permissions
+
+**Best Practice: Run container as non-root user**
+
+**In Dockerfile:**
+
+```dockerfile
+# Create non-root user
+RUN useradd -m -u 1000 appuser
+
+# Switch to user
+USER appuser
+```
+
+**On Autobox:**
+
+```bash
+# Set ownership to match container user (uid 1000)
+sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /opt/nomad-volumes/myapp-data
+```
+
+### Checking Volume Mounts
+
+```bash
+# On Nomad - check allocation
+nomad alloc status <alloc-id>
+
+# Look for volume mounts section:
+# Mounted Volumes:
+#   data -> /opt/nomad-volumes/myapp-data
+
+# SSH to Autobox and verify
+ls -la /opt/nomad-volumes/myapp-data
+```
+
+### Volume Backup
+
+**Simple backup script:**
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# backup-volumes.sh
+
+VOLUME_PATH="/opt/nomad-volumes/myapp-data"
+BACKUP_PATH="/backup/$(date +%Y%m%d)"
+
+mkdir -p "$BACKUP_PATH"
+tar -czf "$BACKUP_PATH/myapp-data.tar.gz" "$VOLUME_PATH"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Vault Workarounds
+
+### Problem
+
+Your Vault is currently not working. Can't use proper secret management.
+
+### Temporary Solutions
+
+**Option 1: Environment Variables in Nomad Job (NOT RECOMMENDED)**
+
+```hcl
+env {
+  APP_ENV      = "production"
+  PORT         = "${NOMAD_PORT_http}"
+  DATABASE_URL = "sqlite:///app/data/app.db"
+  API_KEY      = "your-secret-key-here"  # BAD: Secret in plain text!
+}
+```
+
+**Pros:**
+- Simple
+- Works immediately
+
+**Cons:**
+- ❌ Secrets visible in Nomad UI
+- ❌ Secrets in version control (if committed)
+- ❌ Hard to rotate secrets
+
+**Option 2: File-Based Secrets (BETTER)**
+
+**Store secrets in file on Autobox:**
+
+```bash
+# On Autobox
+sudo mkdir -p /opt/nomad-secrets/myapp
+sudo vim /opt/nomad-secrets/myapp/secrets.env
+
+# Content:
+# API_KEY=your-secret-key
+# DB_PASSWORD=your-db-password
+
+sudo chown 1000:1000 /opt/nomad-secrets/myapp/secrets.env
+sudo chmod 600 /opt/nomad-secrets/myapp/secrets.env
+```
+
+**Mount as host volume:**
+
+```hcl
+group "myapp-group" {
+  volume "secrets" {
+    type      = "host"
+    source    = "myapp-secrets"
+    read_only = true  # Read-only for security
+  }
+  
+  task "myapp-task" {
+    volume_mount {
+      volume      = "secrets"
+      destination = "/app/secrets"
+      read_only   = true
+    }
+    
+    # Read secrets file at startup
+    config {
+      command = "sh"
+      args = ["-c", "source /app/secrets/secrets.env && flask run --port $PORT"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Pros:**
+- ✅ Secrets not in Nomad job file
+- ✅ Can be backed up separately
+- ✅ Easier to rotate
+
+**Cons:**
+- ⚠️ Still manual management
+- ⚠️ Need to manage file permissions
+
+**Option 3: Consul KV Store (RECOMMENDED TEMPORARY)**
+
+```bash
+# Store secret in Consul
+consul kv put secret/myapp/api_key "your-secret-key"
+```
+
+**In Nomad job template:**
+
+```hcl
+task "myapp-task" {
+  template {
+    data = <<EOH
+{{ with key "secret/myapp/api_key" }}
+API_KEY="{{ . }}"
+{{ end }}
+EOH
+    destination = "secrets/config.env"
+    env         = true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Pros:**
+- ✅ Uses existing infrastructure (Consul)
+- ✅ Can be managed via API
+- ✅ Not visible in Nomad UI
+
+**Cons:**
+- ⚠️ Not as secure as Vault
+- ⚠️ Manual secret rotation
+
+### When Vault is Fixed
+
+**Proper Vault integration:**
+
+```hcl
+task "myapp-task" {
+  vault {
+    policies = ["myapp-policy"]
+  }
+  
+  template {
+    data = <<EOH
+{{ with secret "secret/data/myapp" }}
+API_KEY="{{ .Data.data.api_key }}"
+DATABASE_URL="{{ .Data.data.database_url }}"
+{{ end }}
+EOH
+    destination = "secrets/config.env"
+    env         = true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Complete Nomad Job Example
+
+See `.gitea/workflows/nomad-job-complete.hcl.tmpl` for a fully documented example with:
+
+- ✅ Proper health checks with grace period
+- ✅ Host volume configuration
+- ✅ Vault workarounds
+- ✅ Auto-revert on failed deployments
+- ✅ Graceful shutdown handling
+- ✅ Resource limits
+- ✅ Log rotation
+
+---
+
+## Dockerfile Best Practices
+
+### Multi-Stage Build
+
+```dockerfile
+# Builder stage
+FROM python:3.11-slim as builder
+WORKDIR /app
+RUN pip install --user -r requirements.txt
+
+# Runtime stage (smaller)
+FROM python:3.11-slim
+COPY --from=builder /root/.local /home/appuser/.local
+USER appuser
+CMD ["flask", "run"]
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Smaller final image
+- Faster deployment
+- Less attack surface
+
+### Non-Root User
+
+```dockerfile
+# Create user
+RUN useradd -m -u 1000 appuser
+
+# Switch to user
+USER appuser
+```
+
+**Why:**
+- Security best practice
+- Required for some volume mounts
+- Prevents privilege escalation
+
+### Health Check
+
+```dockerfile
+HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=3s --start-period=10s \
+  CMD curl -f http://localhost:${PORT}/health || exit 1
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Docker can detect unhealthy containers
+- Nomad respects Docker health checks
+- Extra layer of monitoring
+
+---
+
+## Gitea CI/CD Workflow
+
+### Complete Workflow Example
+
+See `.gitea/workflows/main.yml.tmpl` for a complete Gitea Actions workflow that:
+
+1. ✅ Builds Docker image
+2. ✅ Tags with commit hash + latest
+3. ✅ Pushes to private registry
+4. ✅ Validates Nomad job
+5. ✅ Stops old deployment
+6. ✅ Deploys new version
+7. ✅ Updates nginx configuration
+8. ✅ Updates forwarder configuration
+
+### Secrets in Gitea
+
+Configure in Gitea repository settings:
+
+- `secrets.username` - Registry username
+- `secrets.password` - Registry password
+
+### Self-Hosted Runner
+
+Your runner must have:
+
+- Docker installed
+- Nomad CLI installed
+- SSH access to Nomad server
+- Access to private registry
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Service Marked Unhealthy
+
+**Check Consul:**
+
+```bash
+# On Nomad
+consul catalog service myapp
+
+# Look for:
+# Checks:
+#   - http_health: critical
+```
+
+**Check allocation logs:**
+
+```bash
+nomad alloc logs -f <alloc-id> myapp-task
+```
+
+**Common causes:**
+- /health endpoint not implemented
+- App crashed
+- Wrong port
+- Slow startup
+
+### Container Keeps Restarting
+
+**Check allocation status:**
+
+```bash
+nomad alloc status <alloc-id>
+
+# Look at Recent Events:
+# Started -> Restart Signaled -> Started ...
+```
+
+**Common causes:**
+- Failed health checks
+- App crash on startup
+- Missing dependencies
+- Port already in use
+
+### Volume Mount Issues
+
+**Check Nomad client config:**
+
+```bash
+# On Autobox
+sudo nomad agent-info | grep -A 10 "host_volumes"
+```
+
+**Check permissions:**
+
+```bash
+# On Autobox
+ls -la /opt/nomad-volumes/myapp-data
+
+# Should be owned by uid 1000 (or your container user)
+```
+
+**Check allocation:**
+
+```bash
+nomad alloc status <alloc-id>
+
+# Look for Mounted Volumes section
+```
+
+### Port Conflicts
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+Failed to start task: bind: address already in use
+```
+
+**Solution:** Nomad assigns dynamic ports automatically:
+
+```hcl
+network {
+  port "http" {
+    to = 5000  # Container internal port
+    # Nomad picks external port (30000-32000)
+  }
+}
+
+env {
+  PORT = "${NOMAD_PORT_http}"  # Use Nomad's assigned port
+}
+```
+
+### Secrets Not Loading
+
+**Check Consul KV:**
+
+```bash
+consul kv get secret/myapp/api_key
+```
+
+**Check template rendering:**
+
+```bash
+nomad alloc fs <alloc-id> secrets/
+
+# Should see config.env or your secret files
+```
+
+**View rendered template:**
+
+```bash
+nomad alloc fs <alloc-id> secrets/config.env
+```
+
+---
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+### Essential Commands
+
+```bash
+# Check service health
+consul catalog service myapp
+
+# View allocation
+nomad alloc status <alloc-id>
+
+# View logs
+nomad alloc logs -f <alloc-id> myapp-task
+
+# Exec into container
+nomad alloc exec -i -t <alloc-id> /bin/sh
+
+# Restart job
+nomad job restart myapp
+
+# Stop job
+nomad job stop myapp
+
+# Force reschedule
+nomad job dispatch -meta restart=true myapp
+```
+
+### Health Check URL
+
+```bash
+# Find allocated port
+nomad alloc status <alloc-id> | grep "Port.*http"
+
+# Test health endpoint
+curl http://192.168.15.124:30123/health
+```
+

+
+## 🎯 Pain Points Solved
+
+### 1. Health Checks ⚕️ **SOLVED**
+
+**Problem:** Services marked unhealthy, constant restarts
+
+**Solution:**
+- `app_example.py` shows proper implementation
+- `NOMAD_DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md` explains all the gotchas
+- Nomad job has proper grace periods
+- Includes backup TCP check
+
+**Key learnings documented:**
+- Must use named ports, not hardcoded
+- Add startup grace period
+- Keep health check fast (<500ms)
+- Return proper HTTP status codes
+
+### 2. Host Volumes 💾 **SOLVED**
+
+**Problem:** Volume mounts fail, permission issues, data not persisting
+
+**Solution:**
+- `setup-nomad-volumes.sh` automates entire setup
+- Nomad job shows proper volume declaration
+- Documentation covers all permission issues
+- Examples for both data and secrets volumes
+
+**Key learnings documented:**
+- Configure on Autobox FIRST
+- Match uid (1000) between container and host
+- Test with `nomad agent-info`
+- Backup volumes regularly
+
+### 3. Vault Not Working 🔐 **SOLVED**
+
+**Problem:** Vault is down, can't use proper secret management
+
+**Solution:** Three workaround approaches documented:
+
+**Option 1:** Environment variables in Nomad job
+- Fast but insecure
+- Good for development only
+
+**Option 2:** File-based secrets (RECOMMENDED)
+- Secrets stored in `/opt/nomad-secrets/`
+- Mounted as read-only volume
+- Better security than environment variables
+- `setup-nomad-volumes.sh` creates structure
+
+**Option 3:** Consul KV store
+- Uses existing infrastructure
+- API-manageable
+- Better than files, not as good as Vault
+
+**Bonus:** Vault integration template ready for when it's fixed!
+
