+# Unraid Install Guide — Family Planner
+
+Two installation methods are available: the **GUI** method using the Community Applications template, and the **CLI** method using the Unraid terminal. Both produce an identical container. Choose whichever you prefer.
+
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Unraid 6.10 or later
+- Docker service enabled (Unraid Settings → Docker → Enable Docker: Yes)
+- The Family Planner image published to a container registry (e.g. `ghcr.io/your-username/family-planner:latest`)
+- At least one share for app data (e.g. `appdata`) — created automatically by Unraid if it does not exist
+
+---
+
+## Paths and Variables Reference
+
+Understand these before installing. Both methods use the same values.
+
+### Volume Mounts
+
+| Container path | Host path (default) | Access | Required | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `/data` | `/mnt/user/appdata/family-planner` | read/write | **Yes** | SQLite database, migrations state |
+| `/photos` | `/mnt/user/Photos` | read-only | No | Photo library for the slideshow screensaver |
+
+**`/data` must be writable.** This is where the database file (`family.db`) lives. If this volume is lost, all data is lost — back it up like any other appdata folder.
+
+**`/photos` is read-only.** The app scans this folder recursively for images (`.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.png`, `.gif`, `.webp`, `.avif`, `.bmp`). Point it at any existing share or subfolder on your array. You can also leave it unmapped and configure the path later inside the app under Settings → Photo Slideshow.
+
+### Port Mapping
+
+| Host port | Container port | Protocol | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `3001` (configurable) | `3001` | TCP | Web UI |
+
+Change the host port if `3001` is already in use on your server. The container port stays `3001`.
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Default | Required | Description |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `TZ` | `America/New_York` | Recommended | Timezone for date/time display. Full list: [tz database](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones) |
+| `PUID` | `99` | No | UID the process runs as inside the container. Unraid's `nobody` = `99`. Run `id <username>` in the terminal to find yours. |
+| `PGID` | `100` | No | GID the process runs as. Unraid's `users` group = `100`. |
+| `PORT` | `3001` | No | Internal app port. Do not change unless you have a specific reason. |
+| `DATA_DIR` | `/data` | No | Internal path to the data directory. Do not change. |
+| `PHOTOS_DIR` | `/photos` | No | Internal path to the photos directory. Do not change. |
+| `NODE_NO_WARNINGS` | `1` | No | Suppresses the Node.js experimental SQLite warning. Do not change. |
+
+**Finding your PUID/PGID** — open the Unraid terminal and run:
+```bash
+id nobody
+# uid=99(nobody) gid=100(users)
+```
+If you want files written with your personal user's ownership instead:
+```bash
+id your-username
+# uid=1000(your-username) gid=100(users)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Method 1 — GUI (Community Applications Template)
+
+### Step 1 — Copy the template file
+
+Open the Unraid terminal (Tools → Terminal) and run:
+
+```bash
+cp /path/to/family-planner/unraid/family-planner.xml \
+   /boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user/family-planner.xml
+```
+
+If you cloned the repo directly onto your server, the path will be wherever you placed it. Alternatively, paste the XML file content manually into a new file at that location.
+
+### Step 2 — Open Docker and add the container
+
+1. In the Unraid web UI, go to the **Docker** tab
+2. Click **Add Container**
+3. At the top, click the **Template** dropdown and select **Family Planner** from the user templates section
+4. The form will pre-fill with all default values
+
+### Step 3 — Review and adjust each field
+
+Work through the form top to bottom:
+
+**Repository**
+```
+ghcr.io/your-username/family-planner:latest
+```
+Replace `your-username` with the actual GitHub username or registry path once the image is published.
+
+**Network Type**
+```
+Bridge
+```
+Leave as-is unless you have a specific reason to use host or a custom network.
+
+**Port Mappings**
+
+| Name | Container port | Host port |
+|---|---|---|
+| Web UI Port | `3001` | `3001` (change if needed) |
+
+**Path Mappings**
+
+| Name | Container path | Host path | Access |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| App Data | `/data` | `/mnt/user/appdata/family-planner` | Read/Write |
+| Photos Path | `/photos` | `/mnt/user/Photos` | Read Only |
+
+To change the photos path: click the field and type the full path to your photos share. Common examples:
+- `/mnt/user/Photos`
+- `/mnt/user/Media/Family Photos`
+- `/mnt/disk1/photos` (specific disk, bypasses cache)
+
+Leave the Photos Path blank or point it at an empty folder if you do not want the slideshow feature yet — you can configure it later in the app.
+
+**Variables**
+
+| Name | Value |
+|---|---|
+| TZ | Your timezone, e.g. `America/Chicago` |
+| PUID | `99` (or your personal UID) |
+| PGID | `100` |
+| PORT | `3001` (leave as-is) |
+
+### Step 4 — Apply
+
+Click **Apply** at the bottom of the form. Unraid will:
+1. Pull the image
+2. Create the container
+3. Start it automatically
+
+### Step 5 — Verify
+
+Click the container row to expand it, then click **WebUI** (or navigate to `http://YOUR-SERVER-IP:3001` in your browser). The Family Planner dashboard should load.
+
+To check container logs:
+1. Click the container icon (the colored square to the left of the container name)
+2. Select **Logs**
+3. You should see:
+   ```
+   [db] Running 1 pending migration(s)...
+   [db]  ✓ Applied: 001_initial
+   [db] Migrations complete.
+   Family Planner running on http://0.0.0.0:3001
+   ```
+
+---
+
+## Method 2 — CLI (Terminal Script)
+
+This method runs a shell script from the Unraid terminal. It pulls the image, creates the container, and verifies it started correctly — all in one step.
+
+### Step 1 — Open the Unraid terminal
+
+Tools → Terminal (or SSH into your server).
+
+### Step 2 — Run the installer
+
+**Option A — If you have the repo on the server:**
+```bash
+bash /path/to/family-planner/unraid/install.sh
+```
+
+**Option B — Override any defaults inline before running:**
+```bash
+HOST_PORT=3001 \
+DATA_PATH=/mnt/user/appdata/family-planner \
+PHOTOS_PATH=/mnt/user/Photos \
+PUID=99 \
+PGID=100 \
+TZ=America/New_York \
+bash /path/to/family-planner/unraid/install.sh
+```
+
+**Option C — Once the image is published, pull and run in one step:**
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/your-username/family-planner/main/unraid/install.sh | bash
+```
+Or with custom values:
+```bash
+HOST_PORT=8080 PHOTOS_PATH=/mnt/user/Media/Photos \
+  curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/your-username/family-planner/main/unraid/install.sh | bash
+```
+
+### Step 3 — Confirm the settings prompt
+
+The script will display a summary of the values it will use and ask for confirmation:
+```
+[INFO]  Family Planner — Unraid Installer
+
+  Container : family-planner
+  Image     : ghcr.io/your-username/family-planner:latest
+  Port      : 3001 → 3001
+  Data path : /mnt/user/appdata/family-planner
+  Photos    : /mnt/user/Photos  (read-only)
+  PUID/PGID : 99/100
+  TZ        : America/New_York
+
+Proceed with these settings? [Y/n]
+```
+Press **Enter** (or type `Y`) to proceed.
+
+### Step 4 — Wait for completion
+
+The script will:
+1. Stop and remove any existing container named `family-planner`
+2. Create the data directory if it does not exist
+3. Pull the latest image
+4. Start the container
+5. Wait up to 30 seconds for a successful health check
+
+On success you will see:
+```
+[OK]    Family Planner is up!
+[OK]    Installation complete.
+
+  Open in browser : http://192.168.1.X:3001
+  View logs       : docker logs -f family-planner
+  Stop            : docker stop family-planner
+```
+
+### Step 5 — Verify manually (optional)
+
+```bash
+# Check the container is running
+docker ps | grep family-planner
+
+# Tail live logs
+docker logs -f family-planner
+
+# Hit the API to confirm the app is responding
+curl -s http://localhost:3001/api/settings | python3 -m json.tool
+```
+
+---
+
+## Updating
+
+### GUI
+
+1. In the Docker tab, click the container icon and select **Check for Updates**
+2. If an update is available, click **Update** — Unraid will pull the new image and recreate the container preserving your volume mappings
+
+### CLI
+
+```bash
+# Pull the new image
+docker pull ghcr.io/your-username/family-planner:latest
+
+# Stop and remove the old container (data is safe — it lives in /data volume)
+docker stop family-planner
+docker rm family-planner
+
+# Re-run the install script with the same settings
+bash /path/to/family-planner/unraid/install.sh
+```
+
+Or as a one-liner:
+```bash
+docker pull ghcr.io/your-username/family-planner:latest \
+  && docker stop family-planner \
+  && docker rm family-planner \
+  && bash /path/to/family-planner/unraid/install.sh
+```
+
+> **Database migrations run automatically on startup.** When a new version adds schema changes, the migration runner applies them the first time the updated container starts. Your existing data is preserved.
+
+---
+
+## Backup
+
+The entire application state lives in one file:
+
+```
+/mnt/user/appdata/family-planner/family.db
+```
+
+Back this up with Unraid's built-in **Appdata Backup** plugin, or manually:
+
+```bash
+# One-time backup
+cp /mnt/user/appdata/family-planner/family.db \
+   /mnt/user/Backups/family-planner-$(date +%Y%m%d).db
+
+# Restore (stop the container first)
+docker stop family-planner
+cp /mnt/user/Backups/family-planner-20260101.db \
+   /mnt/user/appdata/family-planner/family.db
+docker start family-planner
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Container exits immediately**
+```bash
+docker logs family-planner
+```
+Look for `[db] ✗ Failed:` — a migration failure aborts startup. This usually means the `/data` volume is not writable or the database file is corrupted.
+
+**Cannot access the web UI**
+- Confirm the container is running: `docker ps | grep family-planner`
+- Check the host port is not blocked by Unraid's firewall or already in use: `ss -tlnp | grep 3001`
+- Try accessing via the server's LAN IP directly: `http://192.168.1.X:3001`
+
+**Photos not showing in slideshow**
+- Verify the `/photos` volume is mapped and the path exists: `docker exec family-planner ls /photos`
+- Check the path in the app: Settings → Photo Slideshow → Photo Folder Path
+- Supported formats: `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.png`, `.gif`, `.webp`, `.avif`, `.bmp`
+
+**Wrong timezone / dates**
+- Set `TZ` to a valid tz database name, e.g. `America/Los_Angeles`, `Europe/London`, `Asia/Tokyo`
+- Full list: `docker exec family-planner cat /usr/share/zoneinfo/tzdata.zi | head -20` or see [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones)
+- Recreate the container after changing `TZ` — it is read at startup
+
+**File permission errors in logs**
+- The entrypoint script sets ownership of `/data` to `PUID:PGID` on every start
+- If you see permission errors, check that `PUID`/`PGID` match the owner of your appdata share
+- Run `ls -la /mnt/user/appdata/family-planner` to see current ownership
+- Run `id nobody` and `id your-username` to compare UIDs

+ * Migration runner
+ *
+ * How it works:
+ *  1. Creates a `_migrations` table on first run.
+ *  2. Loads all migration modules from ./migrations/ in filename order.
+ *  3. Skips any migration whose `id` is already recorded in `_migrations`.
+ *  4. Executes pending migrations inside individual transactions.
+ *  5. Records each successful migration with a timestamp.
+ *
+ * Adding a new migration:
+ *  - Create `apps/server/src/db/migrations/NNN_description.ts`
+ *  - Export `id` (string, matches filename) and `up` (SQL string).
+ *  - Optionally export `down` (SQL string) for rollback support.
+ *  - The runner picks it up automatically on next startup.
