+# Easy-gate Build Notes for Cloudron
+
+This document provides instructions for building, testing, and deploying Easy-gate to your Cloudron instance.
+
+## Overview
+
+Easy-gate is a simple web application designed to serve as the central hub for your self-hosted infrastructure. It allows you to organize and access all your self-hosted services from a single dashboard.
+
+Key features:
+- Real-time parsing of services and notes from a configuration file (JSON/YAML)
+- Ability to assign items to specific user groups based on IP addresses
+- Organization of services into categories
+- Customizable theme and icons
+
+## Building the Package
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- A Linux environment with Docker installed
+- Cloudron CLI tool installed (`npm install -g cloudron`)
+- Authenticated with your Cloudron instance (`cloudron login`)
+
+### Build Steps
+
+1. Create a directory for your build and copy all files into it:
+
+```bash
+mkdir easy-gate-build
+cd easy-gate-build
+# Copy CloudronManifest.json, Dockerfile, start.sh, and easy-gate.json
+```
+
+2. Create a logo.png file for the icon or download one from the Easy-gate repository.
+
+3. Build the package:
+
+```bash
+cloudron build
+```
+
+This command will create a package file (usually named `easy-gate-1.0.0.tar.gz`).
+
+## Testing Locally
+
+You can test the Docker container locally before deploying to Cloudron:
+
+```bash
+# Build the Docker image
+docker build -t easy-gate-local .
+
+# Run the container
+docker run -p 8080:8080 -e EASY_GATE_BEHIND_PROXY=true easy-gate-local
+```
+
+Access the dashboard at http://localhost:8080 to verify it works correctly.
+
+## Deploying to Cloudron
+
+1. Upload the built package to your Cloudron:
+
+```bash
+cloudron install —app easy-gate.example.com
+```
+
+2. Or, if you want to update an existing installation:
+
+```bash
+cloudron update —app easy-gate.example.com
+```
+
+3. Configure your Easy-gate instance:
+
+After installation, you’ll need to edit the configuration file to add your services. You can do this in two ways:
+
+### Option 1: Using Cloudron File Manager
+
+1. Go to your Cloudron dashboard
+2. Click on the Easy-gate application
+3. Go to “Files” tab
+4. Navigate to `/app/data/`
+5. Edit `easy-gate.json`
+
+### Option 2: SSH Access
+
+1. SSH into your Cloudron server
+2. Access the app’s data directory:
+```bash
+cloudron exec —app easy-gate.example.com
+```
+3. Edit the configuration file:
+```bash
+nano /app/data/easy-gate.json
+```
+
+## Configuration File Structure
+
+The configuration file uses the following structure:
+
+```json
+{
+  “title”: “My Dashboard”,
+  “theme”: {
+    “background”: “#f8f9fa”,
+    “foreground”: “#212529”,
+    “custom_css”: “”
+  },
+  “groups”: [
+    {
+      “name”: “group-name”,
+      “subnet”: “192.168.1.1/24”
+    }
+  ],
+  “categories”: [
+    {
+      “name”: “Category Name”,
+      “services”: [
+        {
+          “name”: “Service Name”,
+          “url”: “https://service.example.com”,
+          “description”: “Service Description”,
+          “icon”: “”,
+          “groups”: [“group-name”]
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ],
+  “notes”: [
+    {
+      “name”: “Note Title”,
+      “text”: “Note Content”,
+      “groups”: [“group-name”]
+    }
+  ],
+  “behind_proxy”: true
+}
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- If you encounter “502 Bad Gateway” errors, check that the application is running inside the container: `cloudron logs -f —app easy-gate.example.com`
+- Make sure the `behind_proxy` setting is set to `true` in your configuration file
+- Verify that the user groups and subnets are configured correctly
+- Check the logs for any specific error messages
+
+## Maintenance
+
+Easy-gate is designed to be low-maintenance. To update to a newer version, simply rebuild the package with the latest release and update your Cloudron app.
