./scripts/deploy.sh v1.2.7

# Update Coolify deployment

Using Deploy Script (Recommended):

# This builds for both Intel/AMD and ARM64
./scripts/deploy.sh v1.2.7

Manual Multi-Platform Build:

# Setup buildx (one-time)
docker buildx create --name multiarch --use --driver docker-container --bootstrap

# Build and push for both architectures
docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 \
    -t far54/vrbattles-discord-bot:v1.2.7 \

📊 Health Check

The Docker container includes a health check that validates:

• Node.js process is running
• Port 3000 is accessible
• Basic application startup

🔍 Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

1. Bot not responding: Check DISCORD_TOKEN is valid
2. Database errors: Verify SUPABASE_URL and SUPABASE_KEY
3. Game dropdowns empty: Run npm run sync-games and redeploy
4. Help buttons not working: Ensure latest v1.2.7+ is deployed
5. exec format error: Architecture mismatch - use multi-platform images

Log Locations:

• Coolify: Check application logs tab
• Discord: Bot activity in server
