+# Auth Rules Management System - Current Status
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+The auth rules management system is **fully implemented** with a database schema that differs from c-relay. This document outlines the current state and proposes alignment with c-relay's schema.
+
+## Current Database Schema
+
+### Ginxsom Schema (Current)
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE auth_rules (
+    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
+    rule_type TEXT NOT NULL,              -- 'pubkey_blacklist', 'pubkey_whitelist', etc.
+    rule_target TEXT NOT NULL,            -- The pubkey, hash, or MIME type to match
+    operation TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '*',  -- 'upload', 'delete', 'list', or '*'
+    enabled INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 1,   -- 1 = enabled, 0 = disabled
+    priority INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 100,-- Lower number = higher priority
+    description TEXT,                     -- Human-readable description
+    created_by TEXT,                      -- Admin pubkey who created the rule
+    created_at INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT (strftime('%s', 'now')),
+    updated_at INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT (strftime('%s', 'now')),
+    
+    CHECK (rule_type IN ('pubkey_blacklist', 'pubkey_whitelist', 
+                         'hash_blacklist', 'mime_blacklist', 'mime_whitelist')),
+    CHECK (operation IN ('upload', 'delete', 'list', '*')),
+    CHECK (enabled IN (0, 1)),
+    CHECK (priority >= 0),
+    UNIQUE(rule_type, rule_target, operation)
+);
+```
+
+### C-Relay Schema (Target)
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE auth_rules (
+    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
+    rule_type TEXT NOT NULL,
+    pattern_type TEXT NOT NULL,
+    pattern_value TEXT NOT NULL,
+    active INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 1,
+    created_at INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT (strftime('%s', 'now')),
+    updated_at INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT (strftime('%s', 'now'))
+);
+```
+
+## Schema Differences
+
+| Field | Ginxsom | C-Relay | Notes |
+|-------|---------|---------|-------|
+| `id` | ✅ | ✅ | Same |
+| `rule_type` | ✅ | ✅ | Same |
+| `rule_target` | ✅ | ❌ | Ginxsom-specific |
+| `pattern_type` | ❌ | ✅ | C-relay-specific |
+| `pattern_value` | ❌ | ✅ | C-relay-specific |
+| `operation` | ✅ | ❌ | Ginxsom-specific |
+| `enabled` | ✅ (1/0) | ❌ | Ginxsom uses `enabled` |
+| `active` | ❌ | ✅ (1/0) | C-relay uses `active` |
+| `priority` | ✅ | ❌ | Ginxsom-specific |
+| `description` | ✅ | ❌ | Ginxsom-specific |
+| `created_by` | ✅ | ❌ | Ginxsom-specific |
+| `created_at` | ✅ | ✅ | Same |
+| `updated_at` | ✅ | ✅ | Same |
+
+## What Has Been Implemented
+
+### ✅ Database Layer
+- **Schema Created**: [`auth_rules`](../db/52e366edfa4e9cc6a6d4653828e51ccf828a2f5a05227d7a768f33b5a198681a.db) table exists with full schema
+- **Indexes**: 5 indexes for performance optimization
+- **Constraints**: CHECK constraints for data validation
+- **Unique Constraint**: Prevents duplicate rules
+
+### ✅ Rule Evaluation Engine
+Location: [`src/request_validator.c:1318-1592`](../src/request_validator.c#L1318-L1592)
+
+**Implemented Features:**
+1. **Pubkey Blacklist** (Priority 1) - Lines 1346-1377
+2. **Hash Blacklist** (Priority 2) - Lines 1382-1420
+3. **MIME Blacklist** (Priority 3) - Lines 1423-1462
+4. **Pubkey Whitelist** (Priority 4) - Lines 1464-1491
+5. **MIME Whitelist** (Priority 5) - Lines 1493-1526
+6. **Whitelist Default Denial** (Priority 6) - Lines 1528-1591
+
+**Features:**
+- ✅ Priority-based rule evaluation
+- ✅ Wildcard operation matching (`*`)
+- ✅ MIME type pattern matching (`image/*`)
+- ✅ Whitelist default-deny behavior
+- ✅ Detailed violation tracking
+- ✅ Performance-optimized queries
+
+### ✅ Admin API Commands
+Location: [`src/admin_commands.c`](../src/admin_commands.c)
+
+**Implemented Commands:**
+- ✅ `config_query` - Query configuration values
+- ✅ `config_update` - Update configuration
+- ✅ `stats_query` - Get system statistics (includes auth_rules count)
+- ✅ `system_status` - System health check
+- ✅ `blob_list` - List stored blobs
+- ✅ `storage_stats` - Storage statistics
+- ✅ `sql_query` - Direct SQL queries (read-only)
+
+**Note:** The stats_query command already queries auth_rules:
+```c
+// Line 390-395
+sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM auth_rules WHERE enabled = 1";
+rc = sqlite3_prepare_v2(db, sql, -1, &stmt, NULL);
+if (rc == SQLITE_OK && sqlite3_step(stmt) == SQLITE_ROW) {
+    cJSON_AddNumberToObject(stats, "active_auth_rules", sqlite3_column_int(stmt, 0));
+}
+```
+
+### ❌ Missing Admin API Endpoints
+
+The following endpoints from [`docs/AUTH_RULES_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md`](../docs/AUTH_RULES_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md) are **NOT implemented**:
+
+1. **GET /api/rules** - List authentication rules
+2. **POST /api/rules** - Create new rule
+3. **PUT /api/rules/:id** - Update existing rule
+4. **DELETE /api/rules/:id** - Delete rule
+5. **POST /api/rules/clear-cache** - Clear auth cache
+6. **GET /api/rules/test** - Test rule evaluation
+
+### ✅ Configuration System
+- ✅ `auth_rules_enabled` config flag (checked in [`reload_auth_config()`](../src/request_validator.c#L1049-L1145))
+- ✅ Cache system with 5-minute TTL
+- ✅ Environment variable support (`GINX_NO_CACHE`, `GINX_CACHE_TIMEOUT`)
+
+### ✅ Documentation
+- ✅ [`docs/AUTH_API.md`](../docs/AUTH_API.md) - Complete authentication flow
+- ✅ [`docs/AUTH_RULES_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md`](../docs/AUTH_RULES_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md) - Implementation plan
+- ✅ Flow diagrams and performance metrics
+
+## Proposed Schema Migration to C-Relay Format
+
+### Option 1: Minimal Changes (Recommended)
+Keep Ginxsom's richer schema but rename fields for compatibility:
+
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE auth_rules RENAME COLUMN enabled TO active;
+ALTER TABLE auth_rules ADD COLUMN pattern_type TEXT;
+ALTER TABLE auth_rules ADD COLUMN pattern_value TEXT;
+
+-- Populate new fields from existing data
+UPDATE auth_rules SET 
+    pattern_type = CASE 
+        WHEN rule_type LIKE '%pubkey%' THEN 'pubkey'
+        WHEN rule_type LIKE '%hash%' THEN 'hash'
+        WHEN rule_type LIKE '%mime%' THEN 'mime'
+    END,
+    pattern_value = rule_target;
+```
+
+**Pros:**
+- Maintains all Ginxsom features (operation, priority, description)
+- Adds c-relay compatibility fields
+- No data loss
+- Backward compatible
+
+**Cons:**
+- Redundant fields (`rule_target` + `pattern_value`)
+- Larger schema
+
+### Option 2: Full Migration to C-Relay Schema
+Drop Ginxsom-specific fields and adopt c-relay schema:
+
+```sql
+-- Create new table with c-relay schema
+CREATE TABLE auth_rules_new (
+    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
+    rule_type TEXT NOT NULL,
+    pattern_type TEXT NOT NULL,
+    pattern_value TEXT NOT NULL,
+    active INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 1,
+    created_at INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT (strftime('%s', 'now')),
+    updated_at INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT (strftime('%s', 'now'))
+);
+
+-- Migrate data
+INSERT INTO auth_rules_new (id, rule_type, pattern_type, pattern_value, active, created_at, updated_at)
+SELECT 
+    id,
+    rule_type,
+    CASE 
+        WHEN rule_type LIKE '%pubkey%' THEN 'pubkey'
+        WHEN rule_type LIKE '%hash%' THEN 'hash'
+        WHEN rule_type LIKE '%mime%' THEN 'mime'
+    END as pattern_type,
+    rule_target as pattern_value,
+    enabled as active,
+    created_at,
+    updated_at
+FROM auth_rules;
+
+-- Replace old table
+DROP TABLE auth_rules;
+ALTER TABLE auth_rules_new RENAME TO auth_rules;
+```
+
+**Pros:**
+- Full c-relay compatibility
+- Simpler schema
+- Smaller database
+
+**Cons:**
+- **Loss of operation-specific rules** (upload/delete/list)
+- **Loss of priority system**
+- **Loss of description and created_by tracking**
+- **Breaking change** - requires code updates in [`request_validator.c`](../src/request_validator.c)
+
+## Code Impact Analysis
+
+### Files Requiring Updates for C-Relay Schema
+
+1. **[`src/request_validator.c`](../src/request_validator.c)**
+   - Lines 1346-1591: Rule evaluation queries need field name changes
+   - Change `enabled` → `active`
+   - Change `rule_target` → `pattern_value`
+   - Add `pattern_type` to queries if using Option 1
+
+2. **[`src/admin_commands.c`](../src/admin_commands.c)**
+   - Line 390: Stats query uses `enabled` field
+   - Any future rule management endpoints
+
+3. **[`docs/AUTH_RULES_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md`](../docs/AUTH_RULES_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md)**
+   - Update schema documentation
+   - Update API endpoint specifications
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### For C-Relay Alignment
+**Use Option 1 (Minimal Changes)** because:
+1. Preserves Ginxsom's advanced features (operation-specific rules, priority)
+2. Adds c-relay compatibility without breaking existing functionality
+3. Minimal code changes required
+4. No data loss
+
+### For Admin API Completion
+Implement the missing endpoints in priority order:
+1. **POST /api/rules** - Create rules (highest priority)
+2. **GET /api/rules** - List rules
+3. **DELETE /api/rules/:id** - Delete rules
+4. **PUT /api/rules/:id** - Update rules
+5. **GET /api/rules/test** - Test rules
+6. **POST /api/rules/clear-cache** - Clear cache
+
+### Migration Script
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# migrate_auth_rules_to_crelay.sh
+
+DB_PATH="db/52e366edfa4e9cc6a6d4653828e51ccf828a2f5a05227d7a768f33b5a198681a.db"
+
+sqlite3 "$DB_PATH" <<EOF
+-- Backup current table
+CREATE TABLE auth_rules_backup AS SELECT * FROM auth_rules;
+
+-- Add c-relay compatibility fields
+ALTER TABLE auth_rules ADD COLUMN pattern_type TEXT;
+ALTER TABLE auth_rules ADD COLUMN pattern_value TEXT;
+
+-- Populate new fields
+UPDATE auth_rules SET 
+    pattern_type = CASE 
+        WHEN rule_type LIKE '%pubkey%' THEN 'pubkey'
+        WHEN rule_type LIKE '%hash%' THEN 'hash'
+        WHEN rule_type LIKE '%mime%' THEN 'mime'
+    END,
+    pattern_value = rule_target;
+
+-- Rename enabled to active for c-relay compatibility
+-- Note: SQLite doesn't support RENAME COLUMN directly in older versions
+-- So we'll keep both fields for now
+ALTER TABLE auth_rules ADD COLUMN active INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 1;
+UPDATE auth_rules SET active = enabled;
+
+-- Verify migration
+SELECT COUNT(*) as total_rules FROM auth_rules;
+SELECT COUNT(*) as rules_with_pattern FROM auth_rules WHERE pattern_type IS NOT NULL;
+EOF
+```
+
+## Summary
+
+**Current State:**
+- ✅ Database schema exists and is functional
+- ✅ Rule evaluation engine fully implemented
+- ✅ Configuration system working
+- ✅ Documentation complete
+- ❌ Admin API endpoints for rule management missing
+
+**To Align with C-Relay:**
+- Add `pattern_type` and `pattern_value` fields
+- Optionally rename `enabled` to `active`
+- Keep Ginxsom's advanced features (operation, priority, description)
+- Update queries to use new field names
+
+**Next Steps:**
+1. Decide on migration strategy (Option 1 recommended)
+2. Run migration script
+3. Update code to use new field names
+4. Implement missing Admin API endpoints
+5. Test rule evaluation with new schema

+./deploy_lt.sh
+
+# Fresh install (removes all data)
+./deploy_lt.sh --fresh
+
+# Deploy without migrating data
+./deploy_lt.sh --no-migrate
+```
+
+## Key Changes from Old Script
+
+1. **No remote compilation** - uploads pre-built static binary
+2. **New directory structure** - follows FHS standards
+3. **Minimal dependencies** - only spawn-fcgi needed
+4. **Data migration** - automatically migrates from old locations
+5. **Simplified process** - ~30 seconds vs ~5-10 minutes

+# Nginx Configuration Updates for Static Binary Deployment
+
+## Overview
+
+This document describes the required nginx configuration changes to support the new static binary deployment with updated directory paths.
+
+## Changes Required
+
+### 1. Blob Storage Root Directory
+
+**Change from:**
+```nginx
+root /var/www/html/blossom;
+```
+
+**Change to:**
+```nginx
+root /var/www/blobs;
+```
+
+### 2. FastCGI Script Filename
+
+**Change from:**
+```nginx
+fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/ginxsom.fcgi;
+```
+
+**Change to:**
+```nginx
+fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/local/bin/ginxsom/ginxsom-fcgi;
+```
+
+## Complete Updated Configuration

+
+## Manual Update Steps
+
+If you prefer to update the existing configuration manually:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Backup current configuration
+ssh ubuntu@laantungir.net
+sudo cp /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf.backup
+
+# 2. Edit the configuration
+sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
+
+# 3. Find and replace (in the blossom server block):
+#    - Change: root /var/www/html/blossom;
+#    - To: root /var/www/blobs;
+
+# 4. Find and replace (all FastCGI locations):
+#    - Change: fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/ginxsom.fcgi;
+#    - To: fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/local/bin/ginxsom/ginxsom-fcgi;
+
+# 5. Test configuration
+sudo nginx -t
+
+# 6. If test passes, reload nginx
+sudo nginx -s reload
+
+# 7. If test fails, restore backup
+sudo cp /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf.backup /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
+sudo nginx -s reload
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+After updating the configuration:
+
+```bash
+# Check nginx syntax
+sudo nginx -t
+
+# Check if ginxsom is responding
+curl -k https://blossom.laantungir.net/health
+
+# Check blob serving (if you have existing blobs)
+curl -k https://blossom.laantungir.net/<some-sha256-hash>.jpg
+```
+
+## Summary of Changes
+
+| Item | Old Value | New Value |
+|------|-----------|-----------|
+| Blob root | `/var/www/html/blossom` | `/var/www/blobs` |
+| Binary path | `$document_root/ginxsom.fcgi` | `/usr/local/bin/ginxsom/ginxsom-fcgi` |
+| Binary location | `/home/ubuntu/ginxsom/ginxsom.fcgi` | `/usr/local/bin/ginxsom/ginxsom-fcgi` |
+
+These changes align with the new static binary deployment architecture and Linux FHS standards.

+# Ginxsom Static MUSL Build Guide
+
+This guide explains how to build and deploy Ginxsom as a fully static MUSL binary with zero runtime dependencies.
+
+## Overview
+
+Ginxsom now supports building as a static MUSL binary using Alpine Linux and Docker. This produces a truly portable binary that works on **any Linux distribution** without requiring any system libraries.
+
+## Benefits
+
+| Feature | Static MUSL | Dynamic glibc |
+|---------|-------------|---------------|
+| **Portability** | ✓ Any Linux | ✗ Requires matching libs |
+| **Dependencies** | None | libfcgi, libsqlite3, etc. |
+| **Deployment** | Copy one file | Build on target |
+| **Binary Size** | ~7-10 MB | ~2-3 MB + libraries |
+| **Deployment Time** | ~10 seconds | ~5-10 minutes |
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker installed and running
+- Internet connection (for first build only)
+- ~2GB disk space for Docker images
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Build Static Binary
+
+```bash
+# Build production binary (optimized, stripped)
+make static
+
+# Or build debug binary (with symbols)
+make static-debug
+
+# Or use the script directly
+./build_static.sh
+./build_static.sh --debug
+```
+
+The binary will be created in `build/ginxsom-fcgi_static_x86_64` (or `_arm64` for ARM systems).
+
+### 2. Verify Binary
+
+```bash
+# Check if truly static
+ldd build/ginxsom-fcgi_static_x86_64
+# Should output: "not a dynamic executable"
+
+# Check file info
+file build/ginxsom-fcgi_static_x86_64
+# Should show: "statically linked"
+
+# Check size
+ls -lh build/ginxsom-fcgi_static_x86_64
+```
+
+### 3. Deploy to Server
+
+```bash
+# Use the simplified deployment script
+./deploy_static.sh
+
+# Or manually copy and start
+scp build/ginxsom-fcgi_static_x86_64 user@server:/path/to/ginxsom/
+ssh user@server
+chmod +x /path/to/ginxsom/ginxsom-fcgi_static_x86_64
+sudo spawn-fcgi -M 666 -u www-data -g www-data \
+  -s /tmp/ginxsom-fcgi.sock \
+  -- /path/to/ginxsom/ginxsom-fcgi_static_x86_64 \
+  --db-path /path/to/db/ginxsom.db \
+  --storage-dir /var/www/html/blossom
+```
+
+## Build Process Details
+
+### What Happens During Build
+
+1. **Docker Image Creation** (5-10 minutes first time, cached after):
+   - Uses Alpine Linux 3.19 (native MUSL)
+   - Builds secp256k1 statically
+   - Builds nostr_core_lib with required NIPs
+   - Embeds web interface files
+   - Compiles Ginxsom with full static linking
+
+2. **Binary Extraction**:
+   - Extracts binary from Docker container
+   - Verifies static linking
+   - Makes executable
+
+3. **Verification**:
+   - Checks for dynamic dependencies
+   - Reports file size
+   - Tests execution
+
+### Docker Layers (Cached)
+
+The Dockerfile uses multi-stage builds with caching:
+
+```
+Layer 1: Alpine base + dependencies (cached)
+Layer 2: Build secp256k1 (cached)
+Layer 3: Initialize git submodules (cached unless .gitmodules changes)
+Layer 4: Build nostr_core_lib (cached unless nostr_core_lib changes)
+Layer 5: Embed web files (cached unless api/ changes)
+Layer 6: Build Ginxsom (rebuilds when src/ changes)
+```
+
+This means subsequent builds are **much faster** (~1-2 minutes) since only changed layers rebuild.
+
+## Deployment Comparison
+
+### Old Dynamic Build Deployment
+
+```bash
+# 1. Sync entire project (30 seconds)
+rsync -avz . user@server:/path/
+
+# 2. Build on remote server (5-10 minutes)
+ssh user@server "cd /path && make clean && make"
+
+# 3. Restart service (10 seconds)
+ssh user@server "sudo systemctl restart ginxsom"
+
+# Total: ~6-11 minutes
+```
+
+### New Static Build Deployment
+
+```bash
+# 1. Build locally once (5-10 minutes first time, cached after)
+make static
+
+# 2. Copy binary (10 seconds)
+scp build/ginxsom-fcgi_static_x86_64 user@server:/path/
+
+# 3. Restart service (10 seconds)
+ssh user@server "sudo systemctl restart ginxsom"
+
+# Total: ~20 seconds (after first build)
+```
+
+## Cleanup
+
+### Automatic Cleanup
+
+The static build script automatically cleans up old dynamic build artifacts (`.o` files and `ginxsom-fcgi` binary) after successfully building the static binary. This keeps your `build/` directory clean.
+
+### Manual Cleanup
+
+```bash
+# Clean dynamic build artifacts (preserves static binaries)
+make clean
+
+# Clean everything including static binaries
+make clean-all
+
+# Or manually remove specific files
+rm -f build/*.o
+rm -f build/ginxsom-fcgi
+rm -f build/ginxsom-fcgi_static_*
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Docker Not Found
+
+```bash
+# Install Docker
+sudo apt install docker.io
+
+# Add user to docker group
+sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
+newgrp docker
+```
+
+### Build Fails
+
+```bash
+# Clean Docker cache and rebuild
+docker system prune -a
+make static
+```
+
+### Binary Won't Run on Target
+
+```bash
+# Verify it's static
+ldd build/ginxsom-fcgi_static_x86_64
+
+# Check architecture matches
+file build/ginxsom-fcgi_static_x86_64
+uname -m  # On target system
+```
+
+### Alpine Package Not Found
+
+If you get errors about missing Alpine packages, the package name may have changed. Check Alpine's package database:
+- https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Cross-Compilation
+
+Build for different architectures:
+
+```bash
+# Build for ARM64 on x86_64 machine
+docker build --platform linux/arm64 -f Dockerfile.alpine-musl -t ginxsom-arm64 .
+```
+
+### Custom NIPs
+
+Edit `Dockerfile.alpine-musl` line 66 to change which NIPs are included:
+
+```dockerfile
+./build.sh --nips=1,6,19  # Minimal
+./build.sh --nips=1,6,13,17,19,44,59  # Full (default)
+```
+
+### Debug Build
+
+```bash
+# Build with debug symbols (no optimization)
+make static-debug
+
+# Binary will be larger but include debugging info
+gdb build/ginxsom-fcgi_static_x86_64
+```
+
+## File Structure
+
+```
+ginxsom/
+├── Dockerfile.alpine-musl    # Alpine Docker build definition
+├── build_static.sh            # Build script wrapper
+├── deploy_static.sh           # Simplified deployment script
+├── Makefile                   # Updated with 'static' target
+└── build/
+    └── ginxsom-fcgi_static_x86_64  # Output binary
+```
+
+## CI/CD Integration
+
+### GitHub Actions Example
+
+```yaml
+name: Build Static Binary
+
+on: [push]
+
+jobs:
+  build:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
+        with:
+          submodules: recursive
+      
+      - name: Build static binary
+        run: make static
+      
+      - name: Upload artifact
+        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
+        with:
+          name: ginxsom-static
+          path: build/ginxsom-fcgi_static_x86_64
+```
+
+## Performance
+
+Static MUSL binaries have minimal performance impact:
+
+| Metric | Static MUSL | Dynamic glibc |
+|--------|-------------|---------------|
+| Startup Time | ~50ms | ~40ms |
+| Memory Usage | Similar | Similar |
+| Request Latency | Identical | Identical |
+| Binary Size | 7-10 MB | 2-3 MB + libs |
+
+The slight startup delay is negligible for a long-running FastCGI process.

+# Static MUSL Binary Deployment Plan
+
+## Overview
+
+This document outlines the deployment architecture for ginxsom using static MUSL binaries. The new approach eliminates remote compilation and simplifies deployment to a single binary upload.
+
+## Architecture Changes
+
+### Current Deployment (Old)
+```
+Local Machine:
+  - Build dynamic binary with make
+  - Upload entire project via rsync
+  - Remote server compiles from source
+  - Install dependencies (libsqlite3-dev, libfcgi-dev, etc.)
+  - Build nostr_core_lib submodules remotely
+  - Binary location: /home/ubuntu/ginxsom/ginxsom.fcgi
+  - Database: /home/ubuntu/ginxsom/db/ginxsom.db
+  - Blobs: /var/www/html/blossom/
+```
+
+### New Deployment (Static MUSL)
+```
+Local Machine:
+  - Build static MUSL binary with Docker (build_static.sh)
+  - Upload only the binary (no source code needed)
+  - No remote compilation required
+  - Minimal dependencies (only spawn-fcgi)
+  - Binary location: /usr/local/bin/ginxsom/ginxsom-fcgi
+  - Database: /var/lib/ginxsom/ginxsom.db
+  - Blobs: /var/www/blobs/
+```
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+### Production Server Layout
+```
+/usr/local/bin/ginxsom/
+├── ginxsom-fcgi              # Static binary (executable)
+└── README.md                 # Version info and deployment notes

+└── ginxsom-fcgi.sock         # FastCGI socket
+```
+
+## Deployment Process
+
+### Phase 1: Build Static Binary (Local)
+```bash
+# Build the static binary
+./build_static.sh
+
+# Output: build/ginxsom-fcgi_static_x86_64
+# Size: ~7-10 MB
+# Dependencies: NONE (fully static)
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Upload Binary
+```bash
+# Upload to server
+scp build/ginxsom-fcgi_static_x86_64 ubuntu@laantungir.net:/tmp/
+
+# Install to /usr/local/bin/ginxsom/
+ssh ubuntu@laantungir.net << 'EOF'
+  sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin/ginxsom
+  sudo mv /tmp/ginxsom-fcgi_static_x86_64 /usr/local/bin/ginxsom/ginxsom-fcgi
+  sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/ginxsom/ginxsom-fcgi
+  sudo chown root:root /usr/local/bin/ginxsom/ginxsom-fcgi
+EOF
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Setup Data Directories
+```bash
+ssh ubuntu@laantungir.net << 'EOF'
+  # Create database directory
+  sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/ginxsom/backups
+  sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/lib/ginxsom
+  sudo chmod 755 /var/lib/ginxsom
+  
+  # Create blob storage directory
+  sudo mkdir -p /var/www/blobs
+  sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/blobs
+  sudo chmod 755 /var/www/blobs
+  
+  # Migrate existing data if needed
+  if [ -f /var/www/html/blossom/ginxsom.db ]; then
+    sudo cp /var/www/html/blossom/ginxsom.db /var/lib/ginxsom/
+    sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/lib/ginxsom/ginxsom.db
+  fi
+  
+  if [ -d /var/www/html/blossom ]; then
+    sudo cp -r /var/www/html/blossom/* /var/www/blobs/ 2>/dev/null || true
+    sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/blobs
+  fi
+EOF
+```
+
+### Phase 4: Install Minimal Dependencies
+```bash
+ssh ubuntu@laantungir.net << 'EOF'
+  # Only spawn-fcgi is needed (no build tools!)
+  sudo apt-get update
+  sudo apt-get install -y spawn-fcgi
+EOF
+```
+
+### Phase 5: Start Service
+```bash
+ssh ubuntu@laantungir.net << 'EOF'
+  # Stop existing process
+  sudo pkill -f ginxsom-fcgi || true
+  sudo rm -f /tmp/ginxsom-fcgi.sock
+  
+  # Start with spawn-fcgi
+  sudo spawn-fcgi \
+    -M 666 \
+    -u www-data \
+    -g www-data \
+    -s /tmp/ginxsom-fcgi.sock \
+    -U www-data \
+    -G www-data \
+    -d /var/lib/ginxsom \
+    -- /usr/local/bin/ginxsom/ginxsom-fcgi \
+       --db-path /var/lib/ginxsom/ginxsom.db \
+       --storage-dir /var/www/blobs
+EOF
+```
+
+## Nginx Configuration Updates
+
+### Required Changes to `/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf`
+
+```nginx
+# Blossom subdomains HTTPS - ginxsom FastCGI
+server {
+    listen 443 ssl;
+    server_name blossom.laantungir.net;
+
+    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/git.laantungir.net/fullchain.pem;
+    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/git.laantungir.net/privkey.pem;
+
+    # Security headers
+    add_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff always;
+    add_header X-Frame-Options DENY always;
+    add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block" always;
+
+    # CORS for Blossom protocol
+    add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin * always;
+    add_header Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS, PATCH" always;
+    add_header Access-Control-Allow-Headers "Authorization, Content-Type, Content-Length, Accept, Origin, User-Agent, DNT, Cache-Control, X-Mx-ReqToken, Keep-Alive, X-Requested-With, If-Modified-Since, *" always;
+    add_header Access-Control-Max-Age 86400 always;
+
+    # CHANGED: Root directory for blob storage
+    root /var/www/blobs;  # Was: /var/www/html/blossom
+
+    # Maximum upload size
+    client_max_body_size 100M;
+
+    # ... rest of configuration remains the same ...
+    
+    # CHANGED: Update SCRIPT_FILENAME references
+    location = /upload {
+        if ($request_method !~ ^(PUT|HEAD)$) {
+            return 405;
+        }
+        fastcgi_pass ginxsom_backend;
+        include fastcgi_params;
+        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/local/bin/ginxsom/ginxsom-fcgi;  # Was: $document_root/ginxsom.fcgi
+    }
+    
+    # Apply same change to all other FastCGI locations...
+}
+```
+
+## Benefits of New Architecture
+
+### 1. Simplified Deployment
+- **Before**: Upload source → Install deps → Build submodules → Compile → Deploy
+- **After**: Upload binary → Start service
+
+### 2. Reduced Dependencies
+- **Before**: gcc, make, git, libsqlite3-dev, libfcgi-dev, libcurl4-openssl-dev, etc.
+- **After**: spawn-fcgi only
+
+### 3. Better Security
+- No build tools on production server
+- No source code on production server
+- Smaller attack surface
+
+### 4. Faster Deployments
+- **Before**: ~5-10 minutes (build time)
+- **After**: ~30 seconds (upload + restart)
+
+### 5. Consistent Binaries
+- Same binary works on any Linux distribution
+- No "works on my machine" issues
+- Reproducible builds via Docker
+
+### 6. Cleaner Organization
+- Binary in standard location (`/usr/local/bin/`)
+- Data in standard location (`/var/lib/`)
+- Blobs separate from web root (`/var/www/blobs/`)
+
+## Migration Strategy
+
+### Option 1: In-Place Migration (Recommended)
+1. Build static binary locally
+2. Upload to `/tmp/`
+3. Stop current service
+4. Create new directories
+5. Migrate data
+6. Update nginx config
+7. Start new service
+8. Verify functionality
+9. Clean up old files
+
+### Option 2: Blue-Green Deployment
+1. Setup new directories alongside old
+2. Deploy static binary
+3. Test on different port
+4. Switch nginx config
+5. Remove old deployment
+
+### Option 3: Fresh Install
+1. Backup database and blobs
+2. Remove old installation
+3. Deploy static binary
+4. Restore data
+5. Configure nginx
+6. Start service
+
+## Rollback Plan
+
+If issues occur, rollback is simple:
+
+```bash
+# Stop new service
+sudo pkill -f ginxsom-fcgi
+
+# Restore old binary location
+sudo spawn-fcgi \
+  -M 666 \
+  -u www-data \
+  -g www-data \
+  -s /tmp/ginxsom-fcgi.sock \
+  -U www-data \
+  -G www-data \
+  -d /home/ubuntu/ginxsom \
+  -- /home/ubuntu/ginxsom/ginxsom.fcgi \
+     --db-path /home/ubuntu/ginxsom/db/ginxsom.db \
+     --storage-dir /var/www/html/blossom
+
+# Revert nginx config
+sudo cp /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf.backup /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
+sudo nginx -s reload
+```
+
+## SystemD Service (Future Enhancement)
+
+Create `/etc/systemd/system/ginxsom.service`:
+
+```ini
+[Unit]
+Description=Ginxsom Blossom Server
+After=network.target
+
+[Service]

+Enable and start:
+```bash
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl enable ginxsom
+sudo systemctl start ginxsom
+sudo systemctl status ginxsom
+```
+
+## Verification Steps
+
+After deployment, verify:
+
+1. **Binary is static**:
+   ```bash
+   ldd /usr/local/bin/ginxsom/ginxsom-fcgi
+   # Should show: "not a dynamic executable"
+   ```
+
+2. **Service is running**:
+   ```bash
+   ps aux | grep ginxsom-fcgi
+   ls -la /tmp/ginxsom-fcgi.sock
+   ```
+
+3. **Health endpoint**:
+   ```bash
+   curl -k https://blossom.laantungir.net/health
+   # Should return: OK
+   ```
+
+4. **Upload test**:
+   ```bash
+   # Use existing test scripts
+   ./tests/file_put_bud02.sh
+   ```
+
+5. **Database access**:
+   ```bash
+   sudo -u www-data sqlite3 /var/lib/ginxsom/ginxsom.db "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM blobs;"
+   ```
+
+6. **Blob storage**:
+   ```bash
+   ls -la /var/www/blobs/ | head
+   ```
+
+## Monitoring
+
+Key metrics to monitor:
+
+- Binary size: `du -h /usr/local/bin/ginxsom/ginxsom-fcgi`
+- Database size: `du -h /var/lib/ginxsom/ginxsom.db`
+- Blob storage: `du -sh /var/www/blobs/`
+- Process status: `systemctl status ginxsom` (if using systemd)
+- Socket status: `ls -la /tmp/ginxsom-fcgi.sock`
+
+## Backup Strategy
+
+### Database Backups
+```bash
+# Daily backup
+sudo -u www-data sqlite3 /var/lib/ginxsom/ginxsom.db ".backup /var/lib/ginxsom/backups/ginxsom-$(date +%Y%m%d).db"
+
+# Keep last 7 days
+find /var/lib/ginxsom/backups/ -name "ginxsom-*.db" -mtime +7 -delete
+```
+
+### Blob Backups
+```bash
+# Sync to backup location
+rsync -av /var/www/blobs/ /backup/ginxsom-blobs/
+```
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The static MUSL binary deployment provides:
+- ✅ Simpler deployment process
+- ✅ Fewer dependencies
+- ✅ Better security
+- ✅ Faster updates
+- ✅ Universal compatibility
+- ✅ Cleaner organization
+
+This architecture follows Linux FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard) best practices and provides a solid foundation for production deployment.
