+# CI/CD Simplification Complete
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### 1. Simplified docker-compose.prod.yml
+- Removed complex environment variable substitution
+- Now simply uses `ghcr.io/andrewkozin/quixotic:latest` image
+- Only sets `NODE_ENV: production`
+
+### 2. Simplified CI/CD Pipeline (.github/workflows/ci.yml)
+- Removed complex `.env.docker` file creation with secrets substitution
+- Deploy step now simply:
+  - Pulls latest code
+  - Logs into GHCR
+  - Uses standard docker-compose commands
+  - No more environment variable manipulation
+
+### 3. Updated package.json Scripts
+- Removed `--env-file .env.docker` from all docker commands
+- Added production-specific commands:
+  - `docker:prod` - Run production setup
+  - `docker:prod:down` - Stop production setup
+- Simplified existing commands to use default docker-compose behavior
+
+### 4. Updated Documentation
+- Updated DEPLOYMENT.md with new simple approach
+- Manual deployment now uses: `docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d --pull always`
+
+## Benefits
+- Much simpler deployment process
+- No complex environment variable manipulation in CI
+- Environment variables are loaded from `.env.docker` file on server (as configured in docker-compose.yml)
+- Cleaner separation between development and production configs
+- Easier to debug and maintain
+
+## Usage
+For production deployment:
+```bash
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
+```
+
+For development:
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d
+```
