 ## Safety Notes
 
 Restore is intentionally guarded twice: the backend validates the snapshot against the VM, and the UI requires typing the VM name before sending the restore request. Restore jobs are never retried automatically.

+# Deployment
+
+## Node Agent
+
+Run this on every Incus host:
+
+```bash
+cd /opt/incus-backup-ui/backend
+cp .env.example .env
+npm install
+sudo npm start
+```
+
+Important `.env` values:
+
+```env
+PORT=3000
+API_TOKEN="long-random-token"
+ALLOWED_MANAGEMENT_IPS="management-server-ip"
+```
+
+If `ALLOWED_MANAGEMENT_IPS` is set, the agent only accepts requests from those comma-separated IP addresses.
+
+Install systemd service:
+
+```bash
+sudo cp deploy/systemd/incus-backup-agent.service /etc/systemd/system/
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl enable --now incus-backup-agent
+sudo journalctl -u incus-backup-agent -f
+```
+
+## Management API
+
+Run this on the management server:
+
+```bash
+cd /opt/incus-backup-ui/management
+cp .env.example .env
+npm install
+npm start
+```
+
+Important `.env` values:
+
+```env
+PORT=3100
+SESSION_SECRET="long-random-secret"
+AUTH_USERNAME="admin"
+AUTH_PASSWORD="initial-password"
+DATABASE_PATH="./management.sqlite"
+```
+
+Reset an existing password:
+
+```bash
+npm run reset-password -- admin "new-password"
+```
+
+Install systemd service:
+
+```bash
+sudo useradd --system --home /opt/incus-backup-ui --shell /usr/sbin/nologin incus-backup
+sudo chown -R incus-backup:incus-backup /opt/incus-backup-ui/management

+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl enable --now incus-backup-management
+sudo journalctl -u incus-backup-management -f
+```
+
+## Frontend
+
+Point the frontend at the management API:
+
+```bash
+cd /opt/incus-backup-ui/frontend
+npm install
+VITE_API_URL=http://management-server:3100/api npm run build
+npm run preview -- --host 0.0.0.0
+```
+
+For production, put the frontend and management API behind HTTPS.
