# Deploy Palace Ring to stable.palacering.com

**Linear:** MAN-84 — https://linear.app/manglasabang/issue/MAN-84/deploy-palace-ring-to-stablepalaceringcom
**Status:** Done
**Project:** default

## Description
Deploy the [palacering app (](<http://pre.palacering.com>)`/code`) to [stable.palacering.com](<http://stable.palacering.com>) on palacestableserver VM (5.78.153.101) so Junwon can use it as his stable instance. [palacering.com](<http://palacering.com>) remains the development environment on his Mac.

## Architecture

* `/code` (the app) runs on palacestableserver VM (5.78.153.101)
* `palaces/manglasabang/` (Junwon's data) stays on his Mac — never moved
* The VM connects to the Mac via Tailscale (Mac at 100.100.65.72) to read palace data via SSHFS read-only mount at `/mnt/palacering`
* [`REPO_ROOT=/mnt/palacering` — all path resolution works without code changes](<http://pre.palacering.com>)

## What Was Done

* Installed Tailscale on VM, joined Junwon's network (VM hostname: palacestableserver, IP: 100.105.207.39)
* SSHFS mount: `ace@100.100.65.72:/Users/ace/palacering` → `/mnt/palacering` (read-only, persistent via fstab)
* Rsynced `/code` to `/opt/palacering/code/` on VM; build on Mac → rsync dist → restart pattern
* Redis running as Docker container on 127.0.0.1:6399
* [Systemd services: `palacering.service` (port 6572), `palacecode.service` (port 6573)](<http://pre.palacering.com>)
* Caddy on VM serving [stable.palacering.com](<http://stable.palacering.com>) with automatic HTTPS
* [Claude Code installed at `/usr/bin/claude`, Junwon's OAuth credentials at `/root/.claude/`](<http://pre.palacering.com>)
* Fixed 3 pages with infinite redirect loops (travel, examiner, join) — all 16 app tiles verified working
* Fixed diary/health date redirect to use client-side `new Date()` — timezone-correct for any user
* Linear sync fixed to write to `palaces/manglasabang/secretariat/` instead of `code/palaceplatform/secretariat/`
* Added Palace Timezone setting to `/config`, backed by `secretariat/config.json`
* Renamed: [pre.palacering.com](<http://pre.palacering.com>) → [stable.palacering.com](<http://stable.palacering.com>), prepalacering VM → palacestableserver

## Checks

- [X] [stable.palacering.com](<http://stable.palacering.com>) loads palacering home screen
- [X] Diary shows Junwon's existing entries (read from Mac over Tailscale)
- [X] Health log works
- [X] Notebook works
- [X] All 16 app tiles load without errors
- [X] Butler responds (claude -p running on VM with Junwon's OAuth)
