-# Hosting for Feedstack
+# Hosting for Feedstack
+Step 1: Authenticate with Fly.io
+--------------------------------
+
+```
+flyctl auth login
+```
+
+* * * * *
+
+Step 2: Initialize the Application
+----------------------------------
+
+If deploying for the first time, initialize the app from the project root:
+
+```
+flyctl launch
+```
+
+This will:
+
+-   Generate a `fly.toml` configuration file
+
+-   Register the application name
+
+-   Allow you to choose a deployment region
+
+If already initialized, this step can be skipped.
+
+* * * * *
+
+Step 3: Configure Environment Variables
+---------------------------------------
+
+Feedstack requires several secrets to function. These are set securely using the Fly.io CLI:
+
+```
+flyctl secrets set\
+  OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_key\
+  DJANGO_SECRET_KEY=your_django_secret_key\
+  FRONTEND_URL=https://feedstack.fly.dev\
+  ALLOWED_HOSTS=.fly.dev
+```
+
+* * * * *
+
+Step 4: Deploy the Application
+------------------------------
+
+To build and deploy the containerized application:
+
+```
+flyctl deploy
+```
+
+This command will:
+
+-   Build the Docker image using the provided `Dockerfile`
+
+-   Upload it to Fly.io
+
+-   Deploy it to the specified region
+
+-   Expose it at a live HTTPS URL
+
+* * * * *
+
+Step 5: Monitor Logs
+--------------------
+
+You can monitor the live output of your application using:
+
+```
+flyctl logs
+```
+
+This is useful for real-time debugging and validation.
+
+* * * * *
+
+Step 6: `fly.toml` Configuration (Example)
+------------------------------------------
+
+The `fly.toml` file defines the Fly.io app settings. Here is a sample:
+
+```
+app = "feedstack"
+
+[build]
+  dockerfile = "Dockerfile"
+
+[env]
+  DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE = "feedstack.settings.production"
+  PYTHONUNBUFFERED = "1"
+
+[[services]]
+  internal_port = 8000
+  protocol = "tcp"
+
+  [[services.ports]]
+    handlers = ["http"]
+    port = 80
+
+  [[services.ports]]
+    handlers = ["tls", "http"]
+    port = 443
+```
+
+* * * * *
+
+Step 7: Redeployment
+--------------------
+
+After making updates to the codebase (either backend or frontend), re-deploy the application with:
+
+```
+flyctl deploy
+```
+
+This rebuilds the image and pushes it live with zero downtime.
