+# Environment Variables Reference
+
+All configuration for the Orion platform is managed through environment variables, loaded
+via Pydantic Settings from an `.env` file or the process environment. This page provides a
+complete reference for every variable recognised by `app/core/config.py`.
+
+Variables are read at startup and exposed through the `settings` singleton. In most cases
+the defaults are tuned for local development; production deployments **must** override the
+security-sensitive values listed in the [Production Checklist](#production-checklist) at the
+bottom of this page.
+
+---
+
+## Core / Project
+
+Metadata used in the OpenAPI schema and health endpoints.
+
+| Variable | Description | Default | Required |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `PROJECT_NAME` | Display name shown in API docs and health responses | `Orion - Multi-Store Marketplace Platform` | No |
+| `VERSION` | Semantic version reported by the platform | `2.2.0` | No |
+
+---
+
+## Database
+
+!!! danger "Production requirement"
+    You **must** set `DATABASE_URL` to a real PostgreSQL connection string in every
+    non-development environment. The default value contains a placeholder password and
+    should never be used in production.
+
+| Variable | Description | Default | Required |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `DATABASE_URL` | PostgreSQL connection string (`postgresql://user:pass@host:port/db`) | `postgresql://orion_user:secure_password@localhost:5432/orion_db` | **Yes** |
+
+---
+
+## Admin Initialisation
+
+Used by `init_production.py` and the database seeder to create the initial platform
+administrator account.
+
+!!! warning "Change the default password"
+    The default `ADMIN_PASSWORD` is `admin123`. The production validation check will emit a
+    warning if this value is left unchanged.
+
+| Variable | Description | Default | Required |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `ADMIN_EMAIL` | Email address for the initial admin account | `admin@orion.lu` | No |

+| `ADMIN_FIRST_NAME` | First name of the admin user | `Platform` | No |
+| `ADMIN_LAST_NAME` | Last name of the admin user | `Administrator` | No |
+
+---
+
+## JWT Authentication
+
+Controls JSON Web Token generation and expiry.
+
+!!! danger "Production requirement"
+    `JWT_SECRET_KEY` **must** be replaced with a strong random value. Generate one with:
+
+    ```bash
+    openssl rand -hex 32
+    ```
+
+| Variable | Description | Default | Required |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `JWT_SECRET_KEY` | Secret used to sign and verify JWTs | `change-this-in-production` | **Yes** |

+## Step 19: Prometheus Alerting
+
+Alert rules and Alertmanager for email notifications when things go wrong.
+
+### 19.1 Architecture
+
+```
+┌──────────────┐  evaluates   ┌───────────────────┐
+│  Prometheus  │─────────────►│  alert.rules.yml  │
+│  :9090       │              │  (host, container, │
+│              │              │   API, Celery)     │

+┌──────▼───────┐
+│ Alertmanager │──── email ──► admin@wizard.lu
+│ :9093        │
+└──────────────┘
+```
+
+### 19.2 Alert Rules
+
+Alert rules are defined in `monitoring/prometheus/alert.rules.yml`:
+
+| Group | Alert | Condition | Severity |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Host | HostHighCpuUsage | CPU >80% for 5m | warning |
+| Host | HostHighMemoryUsage | Memory >85% for 5m | warning |
+| Host | HostHighDiskUsage | Disk >80% | warning |
+| Host | HostDiskFullPrediction | Disk full within 4h | critical |
+| Containers | ContainerHighRestartCount | >3 restarts/hour | critical |
+| Containers | ContainerOomKilled | Any OOM kill | critical |
+| Containers | ContainerHighCpu | >80% CPU for 5m | warning |
+| API | ApiHighErrorRate | 5xx rate >1% for 5m | critical |
+| API | ApiHighLatency | P95 >2s for 5m | warning |
+| API | ApiHealthCheckDown | Health check failing 1m | critical |
+| Celery | CeleryQueueBacklog | >100 tasks for 10m | warning |
+| Prometheus | TargetDown | Any target down 2m | critical |
+
+### 19.3 Alertmanager Configuration
+
+Alertmanager config is in `monitoring/alertmanager/alertmanager.yml`:
+
+- **Critical alerts**: repeat every 1 hour
+- **Warning alerts**: repeat every 4 hours
+- Groups by `alertname` + `severity`, 30s wait, 5m interval
+- Inhibition: warnings suppressed when critical is already firing for same alert
+
+!!! warning "Configure SMTP before deploying"
+    Edit `monitoring/alertmanager/alertmanager.yml` and fill in the SMTP settings (host, username, password, recipient email). Alertmanager will start but won't send emails until SMTP is configured.
+
+### 19.4 Docker Compose Changes
+
+The `docker-compose.yml` includes:
+
+- `alertmanager` service: `prom/alertmanager:latest`, profiles: [full], port 127.0.0.1:9093, mem_limit: 32m
+- `prometheus` volumes: mounts `alert.rules.yml` as read-only
+- `prometheus.yml`: `alerting:` section pointing to alertmanager:9093, `rule_files:` for alert rules, new scrape job for alertmanager
+
+### 19.5 Deploy
+
+```bash
+cd ~/apps/orion
+docker compose --profile full up -d
+```
+
+### 19.6 Verification
+
+```bash
+# Alertmanager healthy
+curl -s http://localhost:9093/-/healthy
+
+# Alert rules loaded
+curl -s http://localhost:9090/api/v1/rules | python3 -m json.tool | head -20
+
+# Active alerts (should be empty if all is well)
+curl -s http://localhost:9090/api/v1/alerts | python3 -m json.tool

+# Alertmanager target in Prometheus
+curl -s http://localhost:9090/api/v1/targets | python3 -m json.tool | grep alertmanager
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 20: Security Hardening
+
+Docker network segmentation, fail2ban configuration, and automatic security updates.
+
+### 20.1 Docker Network Segmentation
+
+Three isolated networks replace the default flat network:
+
+| Network | Purpose | Services |
+|---|---|---|
+| `orion_frontend` | External-facing | api |
+| `orion_backend` | Database + workers | db, redis, api, celery-worker, celery-beat, flower |
+| `orion_monitoring` | Metrics collection | api, prometheus, grafana, node-exporter, cadvisor, alertmanager |
+
+The `api` service is on all three networks because it needs to:
+
+- Serve HTTP traffic (frontend)
+- Connect to database and Redis (backend)
+- Expose `/metrics` to Prometheus (monitoring)
+
+This is already configured in the updated `docker-compose.yml`. After deploying, verify:
+
+```bash
+docker network ls | grep orion
+# Expected: orion_frontend, orion_backend, orion_monitoring
+```
+
+### 20.2 fail2ban Configuration
+
+fail2ban is already installed (Step 3) but needs jail configuration.
+
+**SSH jail** — create `/etc/fail2ban/jail.local`:
+
+```ini
+[sshd]
+enabled = true
+port = ssh
+filter = sshd
+logpath = /var/log/auth.log
+maxretry = 3
+bantime = 86400
+findtime = 600
+```
+
+**Caddy auth filter** — create `/etc/fail2ban/filter.d/caddy-auth.conf`:
+
+```ini
+[Definition]
+failregex = ^.*"remote_ip":"<HOST>".*"status":(401|403).*$
+ignoreregex =
+```
+
+**Caddy jail** — create `/etc/fail2ban/jail.d/caddy.conf`:
+
+```ini
+[caddy-auth]
+enabled = true
+port = http,https
+filter = caddy-auth
+logpath = /var/log/caddy/access.log
+maxretry = 10
+bantime = 3600
+findtime = 600
+```
+
+!!! note "Caddy access logging"
+    For the Caddy jail to work, enable access logging in your Caddyfile by adding `log` directives that write to `/var/log/caddy/access.log` in JSON format. See [Caddy logging docs](https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/directives/log).
+
+Restart fail2ban:
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl restart fail2ban
+sudo fail2ban-client status
+sudo fail2ban-client status sshd
+```
+
+### 20.3 Unattended Security Upgrades
+
+Install and enable automatic security updates:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt install -y unattended-upgrades apt-listchanges
+sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow unattended-upgrades
+```
+
+This enables security-only updates with automatic reboot disabled (safe default). Verify:
+
+```bash
+sudo unattended-upgrades --dry-run 2>&1 | head -10
+cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades
+```
+
+Expected `20auto-upgrades` content:
+
+```
+APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";
+APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "1";
+```
+
+### 20.4 Verification
+
+```bash
+# fail2ban jails active
+sudo fail2ban-client status sshd
+
+# Docker networks exist
+docker network ls | grep orion
+
+# Unattended upgrades configured
+sudo unattended-upgrades --dry-run 2>&1 | head
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 21: Cloudflare Domain Proxy
+
+Move DNS to Cloudflare for WAF, DDoS protection, and CDN. This step involves DNS propagation — do it during a maintenance window.
+
+!!! warning "DNS changes affect all services"
+    Moving nameservers involves propagation delay (minutes to hours). Plan for brief interruption. Do this step last, after Steps 19–20 are verified.
+
+### 21.1 Pre-Migration: Record Email DNS
+
+Before changing nameservers, document all email-related DNS records:
+
+```bash
+# Run for each domain (wizard.lu, omsflow.lu, rewardflow.lu)
+dig wizard.lu MX +short
+dig wizard.lu TXT +short
+dig _dmarc.wizard.lu TXT +short
+dig default._domainkey.wizard.lu TXT +short  # DKIM selector may vary
+```
+
+Save the output — you'll need to verify these exist after Cloudflare import.
+
+### 21.2 Add Domains to Cloudflare
+
+1. Log in to [Cloudflare Dashboard](https://dash.cloudflare.com)
+2. **Add a site** for each domain: `wizard.lu`, `omsflow.lu`, `rewardflow.lu`
+3. Cloudflare auto-scans and imports existing DNS records
+4. **Verify MX/SPF/DKIM/DMARC records are present** before changing NS
+5. Email records must stay as **DNS-only (grey cloud)** — never proxy MX records
+
+### 21.3 Change Nameservers
+
+At your domain registrar, update NS records to Cloudflare's assigned nameservers. Cloudflare will show which NS to use (e.g., `ns1.cloudflare.com`, `ns2.cloudflare.com`).
+
+### 21.4 Generate Origin Certificates
+
+Cloudflare Origin Certificates (free, 15-year validity) avoid ACME challenge issues when traffic is proxied:
+
+1. In Cloudflare: **SSL/TLS** > **Origin Server** > **Create Certificate**
+2. Generate for `*.wizard.lu, wizard.lu` (repeat for each domain)
+3. Download the certificate and private key
+
+Install on the server:
+
+```bash
+sudo mkdir -p /etc/caddy/certs/{wizard.lu,omsflow.lu,rewardflow.lu}
+# Copy cert.pem and key.pem to each directory
+sudo chown -R caddy:caddy /etc/caddy/certs/
+sudo chmod 600 /etc/caddy/certs/*/key.pem
+```
+
+### 21.5 Update Caddyfile
+
+For Cloudflare-proxied domains, use explicit TLS with origin certs. Keep auto-HTTPS for `git.wizard.lu` (DNS-only, grey cloud):
+
+```caddy
+# ─── Cloudflare-proxied domains (origin certs) ──────────
+wizard.lu {
+    tls /etc/caddy/certs/wizard.lu/cert.pem /etc/caddy/certs/wizard.lu/key.pem
+    reverse_proxy localhost:8001
+}
+
+omsflow.lu {
+    tls /etc/caddy/certs/omsflow.lu/cert.pem /etc/caddy/certs/omsflow.lu/key.pem
+    reverse_proxy localhost:8001
+}
+
+rewardflow.lu {
+    tls /etc/caddy/certs/rewardflow.lu/cert.pem /etc/caddy/certs/rewardflow.lu/key.pem
+    reverse_proxy localhost:8001
+}
+
+api.wizard.lu {
+    tls /etc/caddy/certs/wizard.lu/cert.pem /etc/caddy/certs/wizard.lu/key.pem
+    reverse_proxy localhost:8001
+}
+
+flower.wizard.lu {
+    tls /etc/caddy/certs/wizard.lu/cert.pem /etc/caddy/certs/wizard.lu/key.pem
+    reverse_proxy localhost:5555
+}
+
+grafana.wizard.lu {
+    tls /etc/caddy/certs/wizard.lu/cert.pem /etc/caddy/certs/wizard.lu/key.pem
+    reverse_proxy localhost:3001
+}
+
+# ─── DNS-only domain (auto-HTTPS via Let's Encrypt) ─────
+git.wizard.lu {
+    reverse_proxy localhost:3000
+}
+```
+
+Restart Caddy:
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl restart caddy
+sudo systemctl status caddy
+```
+
+### 21.6 Cloudflare Settings (per domain)
+
+| Setting | Value |
+|---|---|
+| SSL mode | Full (Strict) |
+| Always Use HTTPS | On |
+| WAF Managed Rules | On |
+| Bot Fight Mode | On |
+| Rate Limiting | 100 req/min on `/api/*` |
+
+### 21.7 Production Environment
+
+Add to `~/apps/orion/.env`:
+
+```bash
+CLOUDFLARE_ENABLED=true
+```
+
+### 21.8 Verification
+
+```bash
+# CF proxy active (look for cf-ray header)
+curl -I https://wizard.lu | grep cf-ray
+
+# DNS resolves to Cloudflare IPs (not 91.99.65.229)
+dig wizard.lu +short
+
+# All domains responding
+curl -I https://omsflow.lu
+curl -I https://rewardflow.lu
+curl -I https://api.wizard.lu/health
+
+# git.wizard.lu still on Let's Encrypt (not CF)
+curl -I https://git.wizard.lu
+```
+
+!!! info "`git.wizard.lu` stays DNS-only"
+    The Gitea instance uses SSH on port 2222 for git operations. Cloudflare proxy only supports HTTP/HTTPS, so `git.wizard.lu` must remain as DNS-only (grey cloud) with Let's Encrypt auto-SSL via Caddy.

+## Step 22: Incident Response Runbook
+
+A comprehensive incident response runbook is available at [Incident Response](incident-response.md). It includes:
+
+- **Severity levels**: SEV-1 (platform down, <15min), SEV-2 (feature broken, <1h), SEV-3 (minor, <4h)
+- **Quick diagnosis decision tree**: SSH → Docker → containers → Caddy → DNS
+- **8 runbooks** with copy-paste commands for common incidents
+- **Post-incident report template**
+- **Monitoring URLs** quick reference
+
+---
+
+## Step 23: Environment Reference
+
+A complete environment variables reference is available at [Environment Variables](environment.md). It documents all 55+ configuration variables from `app/core/config.py`, grouped by category with defaults and production requirements.
+
+---
+
+## Step 24: Documentation Updates
+
+This document has been updated with Steps 19–24. Additional documentation changes:
+
+- `docs/deployment/incident-response.md` — new incident response runbook
+- `docs/deployment/environment.md` — complete env var reference (was empty)
+- `docs/deployment/launch-readiness.md` — updated with Feb 2026 infrastructure status

+
+---
+
+## Quick Diagnosis Decision Tree
+
+Follow these steps in order when responding to any incident.
+
+### Step 1: Can you reach the server?
+
+```bash
+ssh samir@91.99.65.229
+```
+
+- **Yes** -- proceed to Step 2.
+- **No** -- check your local network. Try from a different connection. If still unreachable, check [Hetzner Status](https://status.hetzner.com/) and open a support ticket. As a last resort, use the Hetzner Cloud Console rescue mode.
+
+### Step 2: Is Docker running?
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl status docker
+```
+
+- **Yes** -- proceed to Step 3.
+- **No** -- start Docker:
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl start docker
+```
+
+### Step 3: Are the containers running?
+
+```bash
+cd ~/apps/orion && docker compose --profile full ps
+```
+
+Check for containers in `Restarting`, `Exited`, or missing entirely. Healthy output shows all containers as `Up (healthy)` or `Up`.
+
+- **All healthy** -- proceed to Step 4.
+- **Some down** -- go to the relevant runbook below (API, Database, Celery, etc.).
+- **All down** -- go to [Runbook 7: Full Stack Restart](#7-full-stack-restart-after-reboot).
+
+### Step 4: Is Caddy running?
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl status caddy
+```
+
+- **Yes** -- proceed to Step 5.
+- **No** -- go to [Runbook 4: Caddy / SSL / Domain Issues](#4-caddy-ssl-domain-issues).
+
+### Step 5: Are domains resolving?
+
+```bash
+dig wizard.lu +short
+dig api.wizard.lu +short
+dig omsflow.lu +short
+dig rewardflow.lu +short
+```
+
+All should return `91.99.65.229`. If not, check DNS records at your registrar.
+
+### Step 6: Is the API responding?
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://localhost:8001/health | python3 -m json.tool
+curl -s https://api.wizard.lu/health
+```
+
+- **Both work** -- issue may be intermittent. Check Grafana for recent anomalies.
+- **localhost works, external fails** -- Caddy or DNS issue. Go to [Runbook 4](#4-caddy-ssl-domain-issues).
+- **Neither works** -- API is down. Go to [Runbook 1](#1-api-container-down-crash-looping).
+
+---
+
+## Runbooks
+
+### 1. API Container Down / Crash-Looping
+
+!!! danger "SEV-1"
+    API unavailability affects all users on all platforms.
+
+**Symptoms**: `api` container shows `Restarting` or `Exited` in `docker compose ps`. External URLs return 502.
+
+**Diagnose**:
+
+```bash
+cd ~/apps/orion
+
+# Check container status
+docker compose --profile full ps api
+
+# View recent logs (last 100 lines)
+docker compose --profile full logs --tail=100 api
+
+# Look for Python exceptions
+docker compose --profile full logs api 2>&1 | grep -i "error\|exception\|traceback" | tail -20
+```
+
+**Common causes and fixes**:
+
+=== "Import / syntax error in code"
+
+    The log will show a Python traceback on startup. This usually means a bad deploy.
+
+    ```bash
+    # Roll back to previous commit
+    cd ~/apps/orion
+    git log --oneline -5
+    git checkout <previous-good-commit>
+    docker compose --profile full up -d --build api
+    ```
+
+=== "Database connection refused"
+
+    The API cannot reach PostgreSQL. See [Runbook 2](#2-database-issues).
+
+=== "Port conflict"
+
+    Another process is using port 8001.
+
+    ```bash
+    sudo ss -tlnp | grep 8001
+    # Kill the conflicting process, then restart
+    docker compose --profile full restart api
+    ```
+
+=== "Out of memory"
+
+    The container was OOM-killed. See [Runbook 3](#3-high-memory-oom).
+
+**Recovery**:
+
+```bash
+# Restart the API container
+cd ~/apps/orion
+docker compose --profile full restart api
+
+# Wait 10 seconds, then verify
+sleep 10
+docker compose --profile full ps api
+curl -s http://localhost:8001/health
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. Database Issues
+
+!!! danger "SEV-1"
+    Database unavailability brings down the entire platform.
+
+**Symptoms**: API logs show `connection refused`, `could not connect to server`, or `OperationalError`. Health check fails with database errors.
+
+**Diagnose**:
+
+```bash
+cd ~/apps/orion
+
+# Check PostgreSQL container
+docker compose --profile full ps db
+docker compose --profile full logs --tail=50 db
+
+# Test connection from inside the network
+docker compose --profile full exec db pg_isready -U orion_user -d orion_db
+
+# Check disk space (PostgreSQL needs space for WAL)
+df -h
+docker system df
+```
+
+**Common causes and fixes**:
+
+=== "Container stopped"
+
+    ```bash
+    cd ~/apps/orion
+    docker compose --profile full up -d db
+    sleep 5
+    docker compose --profile full exec db pg_isready -U orion_user -d orion_db
+    # Once healthy, restart the API
+    docker compose --profile full restart api celery-worker celery-beat
+    ```
+
+=== "Too many connections"
+
+    ```bash
+    # Check active connections
+    docker compose --profile full exec db \
+        psql -U orion_user -d orion_db -c \
+        "SELECT count(*) FROM pg_stat_activity;"
+
+    # Kill idle connections
+    docker compose --profile full exec db \
+        psql -U orion_user -d orion_db -c \
+        "SELECT pg_terminate_backend(pid) FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE state = 'idle' AND query_start < now() - interval '10 minutes';"
+    ```
+
+=== "Disk full (WAL or data)"
+
+    See [Runbook 6: Disk Full](#6-disk-full).
+
+=== "Data corruption (last resort)"
+
+    If PostgreSQL refuses to start with corruption errors:
+
+    ```bash
+    # Stop everything
+    cd ~/apps/orion
+    docker compose --profile full down
+
+    # Restore from backup (see Runbook 8)
+    bash ~/apps/orion/scripts/restore.sh orion ~/backups/orion/daily/<latest>.sql.gz
+    ```
+
+**Check for slow queries**:
+
+```bash
+docker compose --profile full exec db \
+    psql -U orion_user -d orion_db -c \
+    "SELECT pid, now() - query_start AS duration, left(query, 80)
+     FROM pg_stat_activity
+     WHERE state != 'idle'
+     ORDER BY duration DESC
+     LIMIT 10;"
+```
+
+**Kill a stuck query**:
+
+```bash
+docker compose --profile full exec db \
+    psql -U orion_user -d orion_db -c \
+    "SELECT pg_terminate_backend(<PID>);"
+```
+
+---
+
+### 3. High Memory / OOM
+
+!!! warning "SEV-2 (can escalate to SEV-1 if OOM killer fires)"
+    The server has 4 GB RAM. Normal usage is ~2.4 GB. Above 3.2 GB is critical.
+
+**Symptoms**: Containers restarting unexpectedly. `dmesg` shows OOM killer. Grafana memory graphs spiking.
+
+**Diagnose**:
+
+```bash
+# System memory
+free -h
+
+# Per-container memory usage
+docker stats --no-stream --format "table {{.Name}}\t{{.MemUsage}}\t{{.MemPerc}}"
+
+# Check for OOM kills
+sudo dmesg | grep -i "oom\|killed" | tail -10
+
+# Top processes by memory
+ps aux --sort=-%mem | head -15
+```
+
+**Immediate relief**:
+
+```bash
+# Clear Docker build cache
+docker builder prune -f
+
+# Remove unused images
+docker image prune -f
+
+# Remove stopped containers
+docker container prune -f
+
+# Nuclear option: remove all unused Docker data
+docker system prune -f
+```
+
+**If a specific container is the culprit**:
+
+```bash
+cd ~/apps/orion
+
+# Restart the offending container
+docker compose --profile full restart <container-name>
+
+# If the API is leaking memory, a restart is the fastest fix
+docker compose --profile full restart api
+```
+
+**If CI jobs are running** (they add ~550 MB temporarily):
+
+```bash
+# Check if a Gitea Actions runner job is active
+sudo systemctl status gitea-runner
+# Wait for the job to finish, or stop the runner temporarily
+sudo systemctl stop gitea-runner
+```
+
+!!! tip "Long-term fix"
+    If OOM events become frequent, upgrade to CAX21 (8 GB RAM, ~7.50 EUR/mo) via **Hetzner Cloud Console > Server > Rescale**. The upgrade takes about 2 minutes and preserves all data.
+
+---
+
+### 4. Caddy / SSL / Domain Issues
+
+!!! warning "SEV-2"
+    Caddy handles TLS termination and routing for all domains. If Caddy is down, all external access is lost even though the API may be running fine internally.
+
+**Symptoms**: Sites return connection refused on port 443. SSL certificate errors in the browser. Specific domain not working.
+
+**Diagnose**:
+
+```bash
+# Check Caddy status
+sudo systemctl status caddy
+
+# View Caddy logs
+sudo journalctl -u caddy --since "30 minutes ago" --no-pager
+
+# Test internal API directly (bypasses Caddy)
+curl -s http://localhost:8001/health
+
+# Test SSL certificates
+curl -vI https://wizard.lu 2>&1 | grep -E "SSL|subject|expire"
+curl -vI https://api.wizard.lu 2>&1 | grep -E "SSL|subject|expire"
+```
+
+**Common causes and fixes**:
+
+=== "Caddy stopped"
+
+    ```bash
+    sudo systemctl start caddy
+    sudo systemctl status caddy
+    ```
+
+=== "Caddyfile syntax error"
+
+    ```bash
+    # Validate configuration
+    sudo caddy validate --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
+
+    # If invalid, check recent changes
+    sudo nano /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
+
+    # After fixing, reload (not restart, preserves certificates)
+    sudo systemctl reload caddy
+    ```
+
+=== "SSL certificate issue"
+
+    Caddy auto-renews certificates. If renewal fails, it is usually a port 80 or DNS issue.
+
+    ```bash
+    # Ensure port 80 is open (needed for ACME HTTP challenge)
+    sudo ufw status | grep 80
+
+    # Check Caddy certificate storage
+    sudo ls -la /var/lib/caddy/.local/share/caddy/certificates/
+
+    # Force certificate renewal by restarting Caddy
+    sudo systemctl restart caddy
+    ```
+
+=== "DNS not pointing to server"
+
+    ```bash
+    dig wizard.lu +short
+    # Should return 91.99.65.229
+
+    # If wrong, update DNS at registrar and wait for propagation
+    # Temporary: test by adding to /etc/hosts on your local machine
+    ```
+
+**Caddyfile reference** (at `/etc/caddy/Caddyfile`):
+
+```bash
+sudo cat /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
+```
+
+---
+
+### 5. Celery Worker Issues
+
+!!! attention "SEV-2"
+    Celery processes background tasks (imports, emails, scheduled jobs). If down, no background work happens, but the platform remains browsable.
+
+**Symptoms**: Background tasks not executing. Flower shows no active workers. Emails not being sent.
+
+**Diagnose**:
+
+```bash
+cd ~/apps/orion
+
+# Check worker and beat containers
+docker compose --profile full ps celery-worker celery-beat
+
+# View worker logs
+docker compose --profile full logs --tail=50 celery-worker
+docker compose --profile full logs --tail=50 celery-beat
+
+# Check Redis (the broker)
+docker compose --profile full exec redis redis-cli ping
+docker compose --profile full exec redis redis-cli llen celery
+
+# Check Flower for worker status
+curl -s http://localhost:5555/api/workers | python3 -m json.tool
+```
+
+**Common causes and fixes**:
+
+=== "Worker crashed / import error"
+
+    ```bash
+    # Check for Python errors in worker logs
+    docker compose --profile full logs celery-worker 2>&1 | grep -i "error\|exception" | tail -10
+
+    # Restart worker
+    cd ~/apps/orion
+    docker compose --profile full restart celery-worker celery-beat
+    ```
+
+=== "Redis down"
+
+    ```bash
+    # Check Redis container
+    docker compose --profile full ps redis
+    docker compose --profile full logs --tail=20 redis
+
+    # Restart Redis, then workers
+    cd ~/apps/orion
+    docker compose --profile full restart redis
+    sleep 5
+    docker compose --profile full restart celery-worker celery-beat
+    ```
+
+=== "Task queue backed up"
+
+    ```bash
+    # Check queue length
+    docker compose --profile full exec redis redis-cli llen celery
+
+    # If queue is extremely large and tasks are stale, purge
+    docker compose --profile full exec api \
+        celery -A app.core.celery_app purge -f
+
+    # Restart worker to pick up fresh
+    docker compose --profile full restart celery-worker
+    ```
+
+=== "Beat scheduler out of sync"
+
+    ```bash
+    # Remove the beat schedule file and restart
+    docker compose --profile full exec celery-beat rm -f /app/celerybeat-schedule
+    docker compose --profile full restart celery-beat
+    ```

+
+### 6. Disk Full
+
+!!! warning "SEV-2 (becomes SEV-1 if PostgreSQL cannot write WAL)"
+    The server has 37 GB disk. Docker images, logs, and database WAL can fill it quickly.
+
+**Symptoms**: Write errors in logs. PostgreSQL panics. Docker cannot pull images. `No space left on device` errors.
+
+**Diagnose**:
+
+```bash
+# Overall disk usage
+df -h /
+
+# Docker disk usage breakdown
+docker system df
+
+# Largest directories
+sudo du -sh /var/lib/docker/* 2>/dev/null | sort -rh | head -10
+du -sh ~/backups/* 2>/dev/null
+du -sh ~/apps/orion/logs/* 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+**Immediate cleanup**:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Remove old Docker images and build cache (safe, usually frees 2-5 GB)
+docker system prune -af --volumes
+
+# 2. Truncate application logs
+cd ~/apps/orion
+truncate -s 0 logs/*.log 2>/dev/null
+
+# 3. Remove old backups beyond retention policy
+find ~/backups -name "*.sql.gz" -mtime +14 -delete
+
+# 4. Clean systemd journal logs (keep last 3 days)
+sudo journalctl --vacuum-time=3d
+
+# 5. Clean apt cache
+sudo apt clean
+```
+
+**After freeing space**:
+
+```bash
+# Verify space recovered
+df -h /
+
+# Restart any containers that failed due to disk full
+cd ~/apps/orion
+docker compose --profile full up -d
+```
+
+!!! tip "Prevention"
+    Set up a Grafana alert for disk usage > 70%. The node-exporter dashboard (ID 1860) includes disk usage panels. If the server persistently runs low on disk, upgrade to CAX21 (80 GB disk).
+
+---
+
+### 7. Full Stack Restart (After Reboot)
+
+!!! info "SEV-2"
+    After a server reboot (planned or unplanned), all services need to come back up in the correct order.
+
+**When to use**: After a Hetzner maintenance reboot, manual reboot, or kernel upgrade.
+
+**Step-by-step recovery**:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Verify Docker is running
+sudo systemctl status docker
+# If not: sudo systemctl start docker
+
+# 2. Start Gitea (needed for CI, not for the app itself)
+cd ~/gitea && docker compose up -d
+sleep 5
+
+# 3. Start the Orion stack (db and redis start first due to depends_on)
+cd ~/apps/orion
+docker compose --profile full up -d
+sleep 15
+
+# 4. Verify all containers are healthy
+docker compose --profile full ps
+
+# 5. Verify API health
+curl -s http://localhost:8001/health | python3 -m json.tool
+
+# 6. Start Caddy (should auto-start, but verify)
+sudo systemctl status caddy
+# If not running: sudo systemctl start caddy
+
+# 7. Start the Gitea Actions runner
+sudo systemctl status gitea-runner
+# If not running: sudo systemctl start gitea-runner
+
+# 8. Verify external access
+curl -s https://api.wizard.lu/health
+curl -I https://wizard.lu
+curl -I https://omsflow.lu
+curl -I https://rewardflow.lu
+
+# 9. Verify monitoring
+curl -I https://grafana.wizard.lu
+curl -s http://localhost:9090/api/v1/targets | python3 -m json.tool | grep -c '"health":"up"'
+
+# 10. Verify backups timer is active
+systemctl list-timers orion-backup.timer
+```
+
+!!! note "Boot order"
+    Docker containers with `restart: always` will auto-start after Docker starts. Caddy and the Gitea runner are systemd services with `WantedBy=multi-user.target` and also auto-start. In practice, you mainly need to verify rather than manually start.
+
+---
+
+### 8. Restore from Backup (Disaster Recovery)
+
+!!! danger "SEV-1"
+    Use this runbook when the database is corrupted or data is lost and you need to restore from a backup.
+
+**Prerequisites**: Identify the backup to restore from.
+
+```bash
+# List available local backups
+ls -lh ~/backups/orion/daily/
+ls -lh ~/backups/orion/weekly/
+
+# If local backups are gone, download from R2
+source ~/apps/orion/.env
+aws s3 ls s3://orion-backups/orion/daily/ \
+    --endpoint-url "https://${R2_ACCOUNT_ID:-$(grep R2_ACCOUNT_ID ~/apps/orion/.env | cut -d= -f2)}.r2.cloudflarestorage.com" \
+    --profile r2
+```
+
+**Download from R2 (if local backups unavailable)**:
+
+```bash
+aws s3 sync s3://orion-backups/ ~/backups/ \
+    --endpoint-url "https://<ACCOUNT_ID>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com" \
+    --profile r2
+```
+
+**Restore using the restore script**:
+
+```bash
+# Restore Orion database
+bash ~/apps/orion/scripts/restore.sh orion ~/backups/orion/daily/<backup-file>.sql.gz
+```
+
+The restore script will:
+
+1. Stop application containers (API, Celery) while keeping the database running
+2. Drop and recreate the `orion_db` database
+3. Restore from the `.sql.gz` backup file
+4. Run `alembic upgrade heads` to apply any pending migrations
+5. Restart all containers
+
+**Verify after restore**:
+
+```bash
+cd ~/apps/orion
+
+# Check API health
+curl -s http://localhost:8001/health | python3 -m json.tool
+
+# Verify data integrity (check row counts of key tables)
+docker compose --profile full exec db \
+    psql -U orion_user -d orion_db -c \
+    "SELECT 'platforms' AS tbl, count(*) FROM platforms
+     UNION ALL SELECT 'users', count(*) FROM users
+     UNION ALL SELECT 'stores', count(*) FROM stores;"
+
+# Verify external access
+curl -s https://api.wizard.lu/health
+```
+
+**Restore Gitea (if needed)**:
+
+```bash
+bash ~/apps/orion/scripts/restore.sh gitea ~/backups/gitea/daily/<backup-file>.sql.gz
+```
+
+**Full server rebuild from Hetzner snapshot** (worst case):
+
+1. Go to **Hetzner Cloud Console > Servers > Snapshots**
+2. Select the most recent snapshot and click **Rebuild from snapshot**
+3. After rebuild, SSH in and verify all services per [Runbook 7](#7-full-stack-restart-after-reboot)
+
