+- Nginx to serve the Angular build and proxy `/api/*` to the backend

-# 1. Clone repo on server

+# 1. Build the frontend
+ng build --configuration production
 
-# 2. Edit docker-compose.yml
-#    - Change POSTGRES_PASSWORD to a strong value
-#    - Update KMTN_CORS_ORIGINS to your domain
-#    - Optionally set KMTN_DATABASE_URL to a managed PostgreSQL

 ### Production hardening checklist
 
-- [ ] Change the default `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` in [docker-compose.yml](docker-compose.yml)
+- [ ] Use a managed PostgreSQL database (RDS, Cloud SQL, etc.)
 - [ ] Update `KMTN_CORS_ORIGINS` to your actual domain (not `localhost`)
-- [ ] Set `KMTN_DATABASE_URL` to a managed PostgreSQL connection (RDS, Cloud SQL, etc.)
+- [ ] Set `KMTN_ENV="production"` to disable admin endpoints
 - [ ] Add a reverse proxy (Caddy, Traefik) in front of Nginx for HTTPS
-- [ ] Set up log rotation for Docker containers
-- [ ] Configure Docker image registry and push/pull workflow
+- [ ] Set up log rotation
+- [ ] Configure a process manager (systemd, PM2) for the backend
