+
+---
+
+## Examples
+
+### Using curl
+
+```bash
+# Login
+TOKEN=$(curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/auth/login \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"username":"admin","password":"admin"}' \
+  | jq -r '.token')
+
+# Get host info
+curl http://localhost:8080/api/host/info \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
+
+# Get current metrics
+curl http://localhost:8080/api/metrics/current \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
+
+# Update video settings
+curl -X PUT http://localhost:8080/api/settings/video \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"width":1920,"height":1080,"fps":60}'
+```
+
+### Using JavaScript/Fetch
+
+```javascript
+// Login
+const response = await fetch('/api/auth/login', {
+  method: 'POST',
+  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+  body: JSON.stringify({ username: 'admin', password: 'admin' })
+});
+const { token } = await response.json();
+localStorage.setItem('authToken', token);
+
+// Get metrics
+const metrics = await fetch('/api/metrics/current', {
+  headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}` }
+}).then(r => r.json());
+
+// WebSocket
+const ws = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8081');
+ws.onmessage = (event) => {
+  const message = JSON.parse(event.data);
+  console.log('Received:', message);
+};
+```
+
+---
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **Always use HTTPS in production** (enable with `enable_https: true`)
+2. **Store JWT tokens securely** (HttpOnly cookies recommended)
+3. **Validate all inputs** on the server side
+4. **Use strong passwords** for user accounts
+5. **Enable rate limiting** to prevent abuse
+6. **Regular token rotation** (24-hour expiry by default)
+7. **Monitor for suspicious activity** in logs
+8. **Use WSS (WebSocket Secure)** in production

+
+# Install dependencies
+npm install
+
+# Build for production
+npm run build
+
+# This creates a production build in frontend/build/
+```
+
+---
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Backend Configuration
+
+Create `/etc/rootstream/web-dashboard.conf`:
+
+```ini
+[api_server]
+port = 8080
+enable_https = false
+max_connections = 100
+timeout_seconds = 30
+
+[websocket_server]
+port = 8081
+enable_wss = false
+
+[authentication]
+# Default admin user (change password after first login)
+default_user = admin
+default_password = admin
+
+[rate_limiting]
+requests_per_minute = 1000
+
+[security]
+# Enable CORS (for development)
+enable_cors = true
+# Allowed origins (comma-separated)
+allowed_origins = http://localhost:3000,http://localhost:8080
+```
+
+### Frontend Configuration
+
+Create `frontend/.env.production`:
+
+```bash
+REACT_APP_API_URL=http://your-server-ip:8080/api
+REACT_APP_WS_URL=ws://your-server-ip:8081
+```
+
+---
+
+## Deployment Options
+
+### Option 1: Development Mode (Quick Start)
+
+**Terminal 1: Run RootStream with Web Dashboard**
+```bash
+cd RootStream/build
+./rootstream --enable-web-dashboard
+```
+
+**Terminal 2: Run Frontend Development Server**
+```bash
+cd RootStream/frontend
+npm start
+```
+
+Access dashboard at: http://localhost:3000
+
+### Option 2: Production with systemd + nginx
+
+#### A. Create systemd service
+
+Create `/etc/systemd/system/rootstream.service`:
+
+```ini
+[Unit]
+Description=RootStream with Web Dashboard
+After=network.target
+
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+User=root
+ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/rootstream --enable-web-dashboard
+Restart=on-failure
+RestartSec=10
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+```
+
+Enable and start:
+```bash
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl enable rootstream
+sudo systemctl start rootstream
+```
+
+#### B. Configure nginx
+
+Create `/etc/nginx/sites-available/rootstream`:
+
+```nginx
+server {
+    listen 80;
+    server_name your-domain.com;
+
+    # Frontend static files
+    location / {
+        root /var/www/rootstream;
+        index index.html;
+        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
+    }
+
+    # REST API proxy
+    location /api/ {
+        proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/api/;
+        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;
+        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+    }
+
+    # WebSocket proxy
+    location /ws/ {
+        proxy_pass http://localhost:8081/;
+        proxy_http_version 1.1;
+        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+        proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Deploy frontend files:
+```bash
+sudo mkdir -p /var/www/rootstream
+sudo cp -r frontend/build/* /var/www/rootstream/
+sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/rootstream
+```
+
+Enable site:
+```bash
+sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/rootstream /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
+sudo nginx -t
+sudo systemctl reload nginx
+```
+
+#### C. Enable HTTPS (Recommended)
+
+```bash
+# Install certbot
+sudo apt-get install certbot python3-certbot-nginx
+
+# Obtain certificate
+sudo certbot --nginx -d your-domain.com
+
+# Auto-renewal is configured automatically
+```
+
+### Option 3: Docker Deployment
+
+Create `Dockerfile`:
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM ubuntu:24.04
+
+# Install dependencies
+RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
+    build-essential cmake pkg-config \
+    libsdl2-dev libsodium-dev libopus-dev \
+    libdrm-dev libva-dev libasound2-dev \
+    libpulse-dev libavahi-client-dev \
+    libqrencode-dev libpng-dev libx11-dev \
+    libncurses-dev libgtk-3-dev \
+    libavformat-dev libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev \
+    nodejs npm nginx
+
+# Copy source
+COPY . /app
+WORKDIR /app
+
+# Build backend
+RUN mkdir build && cd build && \
+    cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_WEB_DASHBOARD=ON && \
+    make -j$(nproc)
+
+# Build frontend
+RUN cd frontend && npm install && npm run build
+
+# Configure nginx
+COPY deploy/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
+RUN cp -r frontend/build/* /var/www/html/
+
+EXPOSE 80 8080 8081
+
+CMD service nginx start && /app/build/rootstream --enable-web-dashboard
+```
+
+Build and run:
+```bash
+docker build -t rootstream-dashboard .
+docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 8080:8080 -p 8081:8081 \
+    --device /dev/dri:/dev/dri \
+    rootstream-dashboard
+```
+
+---
+
+## Security Hardening
+
+### 1. Change Default Credentials
+
+```bash
+# First login, then immediately change password
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/auth/login \
+    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+    -d '{"username":"admin","password":"admin"}'
+
+# Use token to change password
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/auth/change-password \
+    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+    -d '{"old_password":"admin","new_password":"NewSecurePassword123!"}'
+```
+
+### 2. Enable HTTPS
+
+Always use HTTPS in production. Use Let's Encrypt (free) or your own certificates.
+
+### 3. Firewall Configuration
+
+```bash
+# Allow only necessary ports
+sudo ufw allow 80/tcp   # HTTP
+sudo ufw allow 443/tcp  # HTTPS
+sudo ufw enable
+
+# If API is exposed directly (not recommended in production)
+sudo ufw allow 8080/tcp
+sudo ufw allow 8081/tcp
+```
+
+### 4. Rate Limiting
+
+Configure in `/etc/rootstream/web-dashboard.conf`:
+```ini
+[rate_limiting]
+requests_per_minute = 100  # Lower for production
+```
+
+### 5. User Roles
+
+Create users with appropriate roles:
+- **ADMIN**: Full access (limit to 1-2 users)
+- **OPERATOR**: Can control streaming and settings
+- **VIEWER**: Read-only access
+
+---
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### Check Backend Status
+
+```bash
+# Check if running
+systemctl status rootstream
+
+# View logs
+journalctl -u rootstream -f
+
+# Check API health
+curl http://localhost:8080/api/host/info
+```
+
+### Check Frontend Status
+
+```bash
+# nginx status
+systemctl status nginx
+
+# View logs
+tail -f /var/log/nginx/access.log
+tail -f /var/log/nginx/error.log
+```
+
+### WebSocket Connection Test
+
+```bash
+# Install websocat
+sudo apt-get install websocat
+
+# Test connection
+websocat ws://localhost:8081
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Backend Won't Start
+
+```bash
+# Check port conflicts
+sudo netstat -tulpn | grep -E '8080|8081'
+
+# Check dependencies
+ldd build/rootstream | grep "not found"
+
+# Check configuration
+cat /etc/rootstream/web-dashboard.conf
+```
+
+### Frontend Connection Issues
+
+1. Check browser console for errors (F12)
+2. Verify API URL in `.env.production`
+3. Check CORS headers in browser network tab
+4. Test API directly: `curl http://localhost:8080/api/host/info`
+
+### WebSocket Won't Connect
+
+1. Check if WebSocket server is running
+2. Verify port 8081 is accessible
+3. Check firewall rules
+4. Test with websocat (see above)
+
+### Authentication Failures
+
+1. Verify default credentials haven't been changed
+2. Check token expiry (24 hours by default)
+3. Clear browser localStorage
+4. Check server logs for authentication errors
+
+---
+
+## Performance Tuning
+
+### Backend
+
+```ini
+[api_server]
+max_connections = 1000  # Increase for high traffic
+timeout_seconds = 60    # Adjust based on needs
+
+[rate_limiting]
+requests_per_minute = 5000  # Increase if needed
+```
+
+### Frontend
+
+```bash
+# Enable production optimizations
+npm run build
+
+# Enable gzip in nginx
+gzip on;
+gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript;
+```
+
+### Database (Future Enhancement)
+
+Current implementation uses in-memory storage. For production:
+- Consider adding Redis for session management
+- Use PostgreSQL/MySQL for persistent storage
+- Implement database connection pooling
+
+---
+
+## Backup and Recovery
+
+### Backup Configuration
+
+```bash
+# Backup config files
+sudo tar -czf rootstream-config-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz \
+    /etc/rootstream/
