Update maintainer documentation files:
- docs/DOCKER.md: Update git clone URL, Docker image references
  (ghcr.io/hkuds/ai-trader to ghcr.io/xe138/ai-trader-server),
  container/service names, and backup filenames
- docs/RELEASING.md: Update GitHub Actions URLs, Docker registry
  paths, container package URLs, and all release examples

All maintainer docs now reference the correct repository and Docker
image paths.

# Release Process
## Creating a New Release
### 1. Prepare Release
1. Ensure `main` branch is stable and tests pass
2. Update version numbers if needed
3. Update CHANGELOG.md with release notes
### 2. Create Release Tag
```bash
# Ensure on main branch
git checkout main
git pull origin main
# Create annotated tag
git tag -a v1.0.0 -m "Release v1.0.0: Docker deployment support"
# Push tag to trigger CI/CD
git push origin v1.0.0
```
### 3. GitHub Actions Automation
Tag push automatically triggers `.github/workflows/docker-release.yml`:
1. ✅ Checks out code
2. ✅ Sets up Docker Buildx
3. ✅ Logs into GitHub Container Registry
4. ✅ Extracts version from tag
5. ✅ Builds Docker image with caching
6. ✅ Pushes to `ghcr.io/xe138/ai-trader-server:VERSION`
7. ✅ Pushes to `ghcr.io/xe138/ai-trader-server:latest`
### 4. Verify Build
1. Check GitHub Actions: https://github.com/Xe138/AI-Trader-Server/actions
2. Verify workflow completed successfully (green checkmark)
3. Check packages: https://github.com/Xe138/AI-Trader-Server/pkgs/container/ai-trader-server
### 5. Test Release
```bash
# Pull released image
docker pull ghcr.io/xe138/ai-trader-server:v1.0.0
# Test run
docker run --env-file .env \
-v $(pwd)/data:/app/data \
ghcr.io/xe138/ai-trader-server:v1.0.0
```
### 6. Create GitHub Release (Optional)
1. Go to https://github.com/Xe138/AI-Trader-Server/releases/new
2. Select tag: `v1.0.0`
3. Release title: `v1.0.0 - Docker Deployment Support`
4. Add release notes:
```markdown
## 🐳 Docker Deployment
This release adds full Docker support for easy deployment.
### Pull and Run
```bash
docker pull ghcr.io/xe138/ai-trader-server:v1.0.0
docker run --env-file .env -v $(pwd)/data:/app/data ghcr.io/xe138/ai-trader-server:v1.0.0
```
Or use Docker Compose:
```bash
docker-compose up
```
See [docs/DOCKER.md](docs/DOCKER.md) for details.
### What's New
- Docker containerization with single-container architecture
- docker-compose.yml for easy orchestration
- Automated CI/CD builds on release tags
- Pre-built images on GitHub Container Registry
```
5. Publish release
## Version Numbering
Use Semantic Versioning (SEMVER):
- `v1.0.0` - Major release (breaking changes)
- `v1.1.0` - Minor release (new features, backward compatible)
- `v1.1.1` - Patch release (bug fixes)
## Troubleshooting Releases
### Build Fails in GitHub Actions
1. Check Actions logs for error details
2. Test local build: `docker build .`
3. Fix issues and delete/recreate tag:
```bash
# Delete tag
git tag -d v1.0.0
git push origin :refs/tags/v1.0.0
# Recreate after fixes
git tag v1.0.0
git push origin v1.0.0
```
### Image Not Appearing in Registry
1. Check Actions permissions (Settings → Actions → General)
2. Verify `packages: write` permission in workflow
3. Ensure `GITHUB_TOKEN` has registry access
### Wrong Version Tagged
Delete and recreate:
```bash
git tag -d v1.0.0
git push origin :refs/tags/v1.0.0
git tag v1.0.1
git push origin v1.0.1
```
## Manual Build and Push
If automated build fails, manual push:
```bash
# Build locally
docker build -t ghcr.io/xe138/ai-trader-server:v1.0.0 .
# Login to GHCR
echo $GITHUB_TOKEN | docker login ghcr.io -u USERNAME --password-stdin
# Push
docker push ghcr.io/xe138/ai-trader-server:v1.0.0
docker tag ghcr.io/xe138/ai-trader-server:v1.0.0 ghcr.io/xe138/ai-trader-server:latest
docker push ghcr.io/xe138/ai-trader-server:latest
```
