 # Raspi Telegram Live Chat
 
-Self-hosted live chat system for Raspberry Pi with embeddable website widget, web admin panel, and Telegram as the operator interface.
+Self-hosted live chat system for Raspberry Pi with embeddable website widget, web admin panel, Telegram as the operator interface, and a separate VPS-hosted frontend.
 
 ## Goal
 
 Build a lightweight Jivo-like chat platform where visitors write through a website widget and only Telegram operators configured in the admin panel receive and answer messages.

-- Node.js backend
+- Backend API on Raspberry Pi
-- SQLite database
+- Telegram bot on Raspberry Pi
-- Nginx reverse proxy
+- SQLite database on Raspberry Pi
-- Cloudflare Tunnel or VPS proxy for public HTTPS access
+- VPS for admin panel, widget.js, static assets, HTTPS, and public reverse proxy
+- WireGuard between VPS and Raspberry Pi
+- Nginx + Let's Encrypt on VPS

+### Frontend deployment updates
+
+The admin panel must include a deployment section for updating the VPS-hosted frontend.
+
+Required modes:
+
+1. Manual update by button
+2. Automatic update by webhook from GitHub
+3. Optional scheduled update check
+
+Admin panel should expose:
+
+- Current frontend version
+- Current commit hash
+- Last deployment time
+- Last deployment status
+- Update branch, default: `main`
+- Button: `Check for updates`
+- Button: `Update frontend now`
+- Deployment logs
+- Rollback to previous frontend build
+- Lock to prevent parallel deployments
+
+Frontend deployment flow:
+
+```text
+Admin clicks update button
+  -> backend validates admin permissions
+  -> backend calls deploy agent on VPS
+  -> VPS pulls latest repository changes
+  -> VPS builds admin-panel and widget
+  -> VPS publishes new build atomically
+  -> backend stores deployment result
+  -> admin panel shows status and logs
+```
+
+Recommended VPS frontend paths:
+
+```text
+/opt/raspi-chat/source
+/opt/raspi-chat/releases/<timestamp>
+/opt/raspi-chat/current -> /opt/raspi-chat/releases/<timestamp>
+/var/www/raspi-chat/admin
+/var/www/raspi-chat/widget
+```
+
+Recommended deploy command on VPS:
+
+```bash
+git fetch origin main
+npm ci
+npm run build --workspace admin-panel
+npm run build --workspace widget
+```
+
+Publishing must be atomic:
+
+```text
+build new release directory
+verify build artifacts
+switch symlink
+reload nginx only if needed
+```
+
+Admin deployment permissions:
+
+- Only users with role `admin` can trigger frontend updates
+- Deployment endpoint must require JWT auth
+- Deployment webhook must require secret token validation
+- All deployment attempts must be logged
+
+Environment variables:
+
+```env
+FRONTEND_DEPLOY_ENABLED=true
+FRONTEND_DEPLOY_MODE=ssh
+FRONTEND_DEPLOY_BRANCH=main
+FRONTEND_DEPLOY_HOST=127.0.0.1
+FRONTEND_DEPLOY_USER=deploy
+FRONTEND_DEPLOY_PATH=/opt/raspi-chat/source
+FRONTEND_DEPLOY_WEBHOOK_SECRET=
+```
+
+MVP implementation can run the deployment agent directly on VPS. Raspberry backend should call the VPS deploy endpoint through HTTPS, or the admin panel can call the VPS deploy API directly if protected by strong authentication.
+
 ## Website widget
 
 Example embed code:
 
 ```html
-<script src="https://chat.example.com/widget.js" data-site-id="site_xxxxx"></script>
+<script src="https://widget.example.ru/widget.js" data-site-id="site_xxxxx"></script>
+```
+
+The widget must connect to the public API endpoint on VPS:
+
+```text
+https://api.example.ru
+wss://api.example.ru/ws
 ```
 
 ## Message flow
 
 ```text
 Visitor sends message on website
-  -> backend receives message
+  -> widget sends message to VPS api.example.ru
+  -> VPS proxies request through WireGuard to Raspberry Pi backend
   -> backend validates site_id and origin domain
   -> backend stores message
   -> backend finds active operators assigned to this site
