+
+## 🚀 Quick Start Commands
+
+### Using Makefile (Recommended)
+```bash
+make build    # Build Docker image
+make up       # Start containers
+make logs     # View logs
+make down     # Stop containers
+make backup   # Backup database
+make health   # Check health
+```
+
+### Using Docker Compose
+```bash
+docker-compose build              # Build image
+docker-compose up -d              # Start detached
+docker-compose logs -f            # Follow logs
+docker-compose down               # Stop containers
+docker-compose ps                 # Check status
+```
+
+### Using Interactive Script
+```bash
+./docker-start.sh    # Interactive menu
+```
+
+## 🔧 Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+- `NEXTAUTH_SECRET`: Session encryption secret (required)
+- `NEXT_PUBLIC_WS_HOST`: WebSocket host (default: localhost)
+- `DASHBOARD_PORT`: Dashboard port (default: 3000)
+- `WEBSOCKET_PORT`: WebSocket port (default: 8080)
+
+### Volume Mounts
+- `./data:/app/data` - Database and application data
+- `./config.user.json:/app/config.user.json` - User configuration
+- `./.env.local:/app/.env.local` - Environment variables
+
+### Ports
+- **3000**: Web dashboard
+- **8080**: WebSocket server
+
+## 🏗️ Architecture
+
+### Multi-Stage Build
+1. **base**: Node.js 20 Alpine base image
+2. **deps**: Install all dependencies
+3. **builder**: Build Next.js application
+4. **runner**: Minimal production runtime
+
+### Security Features
+- Non-root user (nextjs:nodejs, UID/GID 1001)
+- Read-only config mounts
+- Isolated network
+- Health checks
+- Resource limits (configurable)
+
+### Data Persistence
+- Database files in `./data` directory
+- Survives container restarts
+- Easy backup and restore
+
+## 📊 Monitoring
+
+### Health Checks
+- Built-in Docker health check
+- HTTP endpoint: `http://localhost:3000/api/health`
+- Interval: 30s, Timeout: 10s, Retries: 3
+
+### Logging
+- JSON file driver
+- Max size: 10MB
+- Max files: 3
+- Accessible via `docker-compose logs`
+
+## 🔒 Production Ready

+# Docker Deployment Guide
+
+This guide explains how to run the Aster Lick Hunter Node application in Docker containers.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker Engine 20.10+ or Docker Desktop
+- Docker Compose 2.0+
+- At least 2GB of available RAM
+- Ports 3000 and 8080 available (or configure custom ports)
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Clone and Navigate to Project
+
+```bash
+cd aster_lick_hunter_node
+```
+
+### 2. Create Environment Configuration
+
+Copy the example environment file and customize it:
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env.local
+```
+
+Edit `.env.local` with your settings:
+
+```env
+NEXTAUTH_SECRET=your-secure-random-secret-here
+NEXT_PUBLIC_WS_HOST=localhost
+DASHBOARD_PORT=3000
+WEBSOCKET_PORT=8080
+```
+
+### 3. Create User Configuration
+
+Create your `config.user.json` with your API keys and trading settings:
+
+```json
+{
+  "api": {
+    "apiKey": "your-binance-api-key",
+    "secretKey": "your-binance-secret-key"
+  },
+  "symbols": {
+    "ASTERUSDT": {
+      "longVolumeThresholdUSDT": 1000,
+      "shortVolumeThresholdUSDT": 2500,
+      "tradeSize": 0.69,
+      "leverage": 10,
+      "tpPercent": 1,
+      "slPercent": 20
+    }
+  },
+  "global": {
+    "paperMode": true,
+    "positionMode": "HEDGE"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Build and Run
+
+```bash
+# Build the Docker image
+docker-compose build
+
+# Start the container
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# View logs
+docker-compose logs -f
+```
+
+### 5. Access the Application
+
+- **Dashboard**: http://localhost:3000
+- **WebSocket**: ws://localhost:8080
+- **Health Check**: http://localhost:3000/api/health
+
+## Docker Commands
+
+### Basic Operations
+
+```bash
+# Start containers
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# Stop containers
+docker-compose down
+
+# Restart containers
+docker-compose restart
+
+# View logs
+docker-compose logs -f
+
+# View logs for specific service
+docker-compose logs -f aster-bot
+
+# Check container status
+docker-compose ps
+```
+
+### Building and Updating
+
+```bash
+# Rebuild after code changes
+docker-compose build --no-cache
+
+# Pull latest changes and rebuild
+git pull
+docker-compose down
+docker-compose build --no-cache
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+### Database and Data Management
+
+```bash
+# Backup database
+docker-compose exec aster-bot cp /app/data/trading.db /app/data/trading.db.backup
+
+# Access container shell
+docker-compose exec aster-bot sh
+
+# View database files
+docker-compose exec aster-bot ls -lah /app/data
+```
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+```bash
+# Check container health
+docker-compose ps
+
+# View detailed logs
+docker-compose logs --tail=100 -f
+
+# Restart specific service
+docker-compose restart aster-bot
+
+# Remove everything and start fresh
+docker-compose down -v
+docker-compose up -d --build
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+The following environment variables can be set in `.env.local` or `docker-compose.yml`:
+
+| Variable | Description | Default |
+|----------|-------------|---------|
+| `NEXTAUTH_SECRET` | Secret for NextAuth session encryption | Required |
+| `NEXT_PUBLIC_WS_HOST` | WebSocket host for client connections | `localhost` |
+| `DASHBOARD_PORT` | Port for web dashboard | `3000` |
+| `WEBSOCKET_PORT` | Port for WebSocket server | `8080` |
+| `NODE_ENV` | Node environment | `production` |
+
+### Volume Mounts
+
+The Docker setup uses the following volume mounts:
+
+- `./data:/app/data` - Persists database and application data
+- `./config.user.json:/app/config.user.json` - User configuration (optional)
+- `./.env.local:/app/.env.local` - Environment variables (optional)
+
+### Custom Ports
+
+To use different ports, modify the `docker-compose.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+ports:
+  - "8000:3000"  # Map host port 8000 to container port 3000
+  - "9000:8080"  # Map host port 9000 to container port 8080
+```
+
+Or set environment variables:
+
+```bash
+DASHBOARD_PORT=8000 WEBSOCKET_PORT=9000 docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+## Production Deployment
+
+### Security Best Practices
+
+1. **Generate a Strong Secret**:
+   ```bash
+   openssl rand -base64 32
+   ```
+   Use this value for `NEXTAUTH_SECRET`.
+
+2. **Use Environment Variables**: Don't commit `.env.local` or `config.user.json` to version control.
+
+3. **Enable HTTPS**: Use a reverse proxy (nginx, Traefik, Caddy) for SSL/TLS.
+
+4. **Restrict Network Access**: Configure firewall rules to limit access.
+
+5. **Regular Backups**: Automate database backups.
+
+### Reverse Proxy Example (Nginx)
+
+```nginx
+server {
+    listen 80;
+    server_name your-domain.com;
+
+    location / {
+        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
+        proxy_http_version 1.1;
+        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+        proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
+    }
+
+    location /ws {
+        proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
+        proxy_http_version 1.1;
+        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+        proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Docker Compose Production Example
+
+```yaml
+version: '3.8'
+
+services:
+  aster-bot:
+    build:
+      context: .
+      dockerfile: Dockerfile
+    container_name: aster-lick-hunter
+    restart: always
+    ports:
+      - "127.0.0.1:3000:3000"  # Only bind to localhost
+      - "127.0.0.1:8080:8080"
+    volumes:
+      - ./data:/app/data
+      - ./config.user.json:/app/config.user.json:ro
+    environment:
+      - NODE_ENV=production
+      - NEXTAUTH_SECRET=${NEXTAUTH_SECRET}
+      - NEXT_PUBLIC_WS_HOST=${NEXT_PUBLIC_WS_HOST}
+    networks:
+      - aster-network
+    logging:
+      driver: "json-file"
+      options:
+        max-size: "50m"
+        max-file: "5"
+    deploy:
+      resources:
+        limits:
+          cpus: '2'
+          memory: 2G
+        reservations:
+          cpus: '1'
+          memory: 1G
+
+networks:
+  aster-network:
+    driver: bridge
+```
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### Health Checks
+
+The container includes a built-in health check:
+
+```bash
+# Check health status
+docker-compose ps
+
+# Manual health check
+curl http://localhost:3000/api/health
+```
+
+### Logs
+
+```bash
+# Follow all logs
+docker-compose logs -f
+
+# Filter by time
+docker-compose logs --since 1h
+
+# Export logs
+docker-compose logs > logs.txt
+```
+
+### Resource Usage
+
+```bash
+# View resource usage
+docker stats aster-lick-hunter
+
+# Detailed container info
+docker inspect aster-lick-hunter
+```
+
+## Backup and Restore
+
+### Backup
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# backup.sh
+BACKUP_DIR="./backups"
+TIMESTAMP=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
+
+mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR
+
+# Backup database
+docker-compose exec -T aster-bot cat /app/data/trading.db > "$BACKUP_DIR/trading_$TIMESTAMP.db"
+
+# Backup configuration
+cp config.user.json "$BACKUP_DIR/config_$TIMESTAMP.json"
+
+echo "Backup completed: $TIMESTAMP"
+```
+
+### Restore
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# restore.sh
+BACKUP_FILE=$1
+
+if [ -z "$BACKUP_FILE" ]; then
+  echo "Usage: ./restore.sh <backup_file>"
+  exit 1
+fi
+
+# Stop container
+docker-compose down
+
+# Restore database
+cp "$BACKUP_FILE" ./data/trading.db
+
+# Start container
+docker-compose up -d
+
+echo "Restore completed"
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Container Won't Start
+
+1. Check logs: `docker-compose logs`
+2. Verify ports are available: `netstat -tuln | grep -E '3000|8080'`
+3. Check disk space: `df -h`
+4. Verify configuration files exist
+
+### Database Issues
+
+```bash
+# Check database file
+docker-compose exec aster-bot ls -lah /app/data/
+
+# Access SQLite directly
+docker-compose exec aster-bot sqlite3 /app/data/trading.db ".tables"
+```
+
+### Permission Issues
+
+```bash
+# Fix data directory permissions
+sudo chown -R 1001:1001 ./data
+
+# Or run with current user
+docker-compose run --user $(id -u):$(id -g) aster-bot
+```
+
+### Network Issues
+
+```bash
+# Check network
+docker network ls
+docker network inspect aster_aster-network
+
+# Recreate network
+docker-compose down
+docker network prune
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+## Advanced Configuration
+
+### Multi-Container Setup
+
+For scaling or separating concerns:
+
+```yaml
+version: '3.8'
+
+services:
+  web:
+    build: .
+    command: npm run start:web
+    ports:
+      - "3000:3000"
+    
+  bot:
+    build: .
+    command: npm run start:bot
+    ports:
+      - "8080:8080"
+    
+  redis:
+    image: redis:alpine
+    ports:
+      - "6379:6379"
+```
+
+### Development Mode
+
+```yaml
+# docker-compose.dev.yml
+version: '3.8'
+
+services:
+  aster-bot:
+    build:
+      context: .
+      target: deps  # Use deps stage for development
+    command: npm run dev
+    volumes:
+      - .:/app
+      - /app/node_modules
+    environment:
+      - NODE_ENV=development
+```
+
+Run with: `docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up`
+
+## Support
