+# Grist Cloudron Package Build Notes
+
+## Overview
+
+This document provides instructions for building, testing, and deploying the Grist Cloudron package. Grist is a modern, open-source spreadsheet application with database capabilities, Python formulas, and collaborative features.
+
+## Package Components
+
+The package includes the following files:
+
+1. `CloudronManifest.json` - Configuration file for Cloudron
+2. `Dockerfile` - Instructions for building the Docker image
+3. `start.sh` - Initialization and startup script
+4. `supervisor.conf` - Process management configuration
+5. `nginx-app.conf` - NGINX site configuration
+6. `nginx.conf` - NGINX main configuration
+7. `logo.png` - Grist logo for Cloudron (needs to be added)
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Cloudron server (v7.0.0 or newer)
+- Docker installed on your build machine
+- Cloudron CLI installed on your build machine
+
+## Build Instructions
+
+1. **Prepare the package directory**
+
+   Create a directory for your package and place all the files in it:
+
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p grist-cloudron
+   cd grist-cloudron
+   # Copy all files into this directory
+   ```
+
+2. **Add the Grist logo**
+
+   Download the Grist logo and save it as `logo.png` in the package directory:
+
+   ```bash
+   curl -o logo.png https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gristlabs/grist-core/main/static/favicon.png
+   ```
+
+3. **Create an initialization data directory**
+
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p init_data
+   ```
+
+4. **Build the Docker image**
+
+   ```bash
+   cloudron build
+   ```
+
+## Testing the Package
+
+1. **Install the package on your Cloudron for testing**
+
+   ```bash
+   cloudron install —image your-docker-image-name
+   ```
+
+2. **Verify the installation**
+
+   Once installed, navigate to the app’s URL and verify that:
+   - The login page appears correctly
+   - You can log in using your Cloudron credentials
+   - You can create and edit documents
+   - Document imports and exports work properly
+   - Python formulas are functioning correctly
+
+3. **Test authentication**
+
+   Verify that:
+   - Authentication with Cloudron accounts works
+   - User permissions are applied correctly
+   - Logging out works properly
+
+## Common Issues and Troubleshooting
+
+1. **Authentication Issues**
+   - Check that the OAuth configuration is correct in `CloudronManifest.json`
+   - Verify environment variables in `start.sh` related to OIDC
+
+2. **Database Connection Problems**
+   - Verify PostgreSQL addon configuration
+   - Check logs for database connection errors
+
+3. **Grist Not Starting**
+   - Check supervisord logs: `cloudron logs -f`
+   - Verify that the required directories exist and have proper permissions
+
+4. **File Upload Issues**
+   - Verify the `client_max_body_size` setting in the NGINX configuration
+
+## Deployment
+
+1. **Prepare the package for production**
+
+   ```bash
+   cloudron build
+   cloudron upload
+   ```
+
+2. **Install from the Cloudron App Store**
+
+   After submission and approval, users can install directly from the Cloudron App Store.
+
+## Maintenance
+
+1. **Updating Grist**
+
+   To update Grist to a newer version:
+   - Update the git clone command in the `Dockerfile`
+   - Update the version in `CloudronManifest.json`
+   - Rebuild and redeploy
+
+2. **Backing Up**
+
+   Cloudron automatically backs up:
+   - The PostgreSQL database
+   - The `/app/data` directory containing all Grist documents
