+# Podcast Checklist
+
+Episode production tracker for *Verse by Verse with Nate*.
+
+## Deploy
+
+### 1. Build and push to GHCR
+
+```bash
+docker build -t ghcr.io/nmemmert/podcast-checklist:latest .
+docker push ghcr.io/nmemmert/podcast-checklist:latest
+```
+
+### 2. On the Oracle Cloud VM
+
+```bash
+docker pull ghcr.io/nmemmert/podcast-checklist:latest
+docker rm -f podcast-checklist 2>/dev/null || true
+docker run -d \
+  --name podcast-checklist \
+  --restart unless-stopped \
+  -p 3001:3000 \
+  -v podcast-checklist-data:/data \
+  ghcr.io/nmemmert/podcast-checklist:latest
+```
+
+> Uses port **3001** on the host so it doesn't clash with your existing site on 3000.
+> Progress is saved to a named Docker volume (`podcast-checklist-data`) so it survives container restarts and re-deploys.
+
+### 3. Cloudflare DNS
+
+Add a CNAME record in Cloudflare:
+- **Name:** `checklist` (or whatever subdomain you want)
+- **Target:** `versebyversewithnate.us`
+- **Proxy:** Enabled (orange cloud)
+
+### 4. Cloudflare Tunnel or Nginx proxy
+
+If you're using Nginx Proxy Manager or a Cloudflare Tunnel on the VM, add a rule to forward `checklist.versebyversewithnate.us` → `localhost:3001`.
+
+---
+
+## Update workflow
+
+Same as your site:
+
+```bash
+# Local
+docker build -t ghcr.io/nmemmert/podcast-checklist:latest .
+docker push ghcr.io/nmemmert/podcast-checklist:latest
+
+# SSH into VM
+docker pull ghcr.io/nmemmert/podcast-checklist:latest
+docker rm -f podcast-checklist
+docker run -d \
+  --name podcast-checklist \
+  --restart unless-stopped \
+  -p 3001:3000 \
+  -v podcast-checklist-data:/data \
+  ghcr.io/nmemmert/podcast-checklist:latest
+```
+
+Progress data is in the named volume and is **not affected** by pulling a new image.
