+# Bzzz P2P Service Deployment Guide
+
+This document provides detailed instructions for deploying Bzzz as a production systemd service across multiple nodes.
+
+## Overview
+
+Bzzz has been successfully deployed as a systemd service across the deepblackcloud cluster, providing:
+- Automatic startup on boot
+- Automatic restart on failure
+- Centralized logging via systemd journal
+- Security sandboxing and resource limits
+- Full mesh P2P network connectivity
+
+## Installation Steps
+
+### 1. Build Binary
+
+```bash
+cd /home/tony/AI/projects/Bzzz
+go build -o bzzz
+```
+
+### 2. Install Service
+
+```bash
+# Install as systemd service (requires sudo)
+sudo ./install-service.sh
+```
+
+The installation script:
+- Makes the binary executable
+- Copies service file to `/etc/systemd/system/bzzz.service`
+- Reloads systemd daemon
+- Enables auto-start on boot
+- Starts the service immediately
+
+### 3. Verify Installation
+
+```bash
+# Check service status
+sudo systemctl status bzzz
+
+# View recent logs
+sudo journalctl -u bzzz -n 20
+
+# Follow live logs
+sudo journalctl -u bzzz -f
+```
+
+## Current Deployment Status
+
+### Cluster Overview
+
+| Node | IP Address | Service Status | Node ID | Connected Peers |
+|------|------------|----------------|---------|-----------------|
+| **WALNUT** | 192.168.1.27 | ✅ Active | `12D3KooWEeVXdHkXtUp2ewzdqD56gDJCCuMGNAqoJrJ7CKaXHoUh` | 3 peers |

+| **ACACIA** | 192.168.1.xxx | ✅ Active | `12D3KooWE6c...Q9YSYt` | 3 peers |
+
+### Network Connectivity

+
+- All nodes automatically discovered via mDNS
+- Bidirectional connections established
+- Capability broadcasts exchanged every 30 seconds
+- Ready for distributed task coordination
+
+## Service Management
+
+### Basic Commands
+
+```bash
+# Start service
+sudo systemctl start bzzz
+
+# Stop service
+sudo systemctl stop bzzz
+
+# Restart service
+sudo systemctl restart bzzz
+
+# Check status
+sudo systemctl status bzzz
+
+# Enable auto-start (already enabled)
+sudo systemctl enable bzzz
+
+# Disable auto-start
+sudo systemctl disable bzzz
+```
+
+### Logging
+
+```bash
+# View recent logs
+sudo journalctl -u bzzz -n 50
+
+# Follow live logs
+sudo journalctl -u bzzz -f
+
+# View logs from specific time
+sudo journalctl -u bzzz --since "2025-07-12 19:00:00"
+
+# View logs with specific priority
+sudo journalctl -u bzzz -p info
+```
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+```bash
+# Check if service is running
+sudo systemctl is-active bzzz
+
+# Check if service is enabled
+sudo systemctl is-enabled bzzz
+
+# View service configuration
+sudo systemctl cat bzzz
+
+# Reload service configuration (after editing service file)
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl restart bzzz
+```
+
+## Service Configuration
+
+### Service File Location
+
+`/etc/systemd/system/bzzz.service`
+
+### Key Configuration Settings
+
+- **Type**: `simple` - Standard foreground service
+- **User/Group**: `tony:tony` - Runs as non-root user
+- **Working Directory**: `/home/tony/AI/projects/Bzzz`
+- **Restart Policy**: `always` with 10-second delay
+- **Timeout**: 30-second graceful stop timeout
+
+### Security Settings
+
+- **NoNewPrivileges**: Prevents privilege escalation
+- **PrivateTmp**: Isolated temporary directory
+- **ProtectSystem**: Read-only system directories
+- **ProtectHome**: Limited home directory access
+
+### Resource Limits
+
+- **File Descriptors**: 65,536 (for P2P connections)
+- **Processes**: 4,096 (for Go runtime)
+
+## Network Configuration
+
+### Port Usage
+
+Bzzz automatically selects available ports for P2P communication:
+- TCP ports in ephemeral range (32768-65535)
+- IPv4 and IPv6 support
+- Automatic port discovery and sharing via mDNS
+
+### Firewall Considerations
+
+For production deployments:
+- Allow inbound TCP connections on used ports
+- Allow UDP port 5353 for mDNS discovery
+- Consider restricting to local network (192.168.1.0/24)
+
+### mDNS Discovery
+
+- Service Tag: `bzzz-peer-discovery`
+- Network Scope: `192.168.1.0/24`
+- Discovery Interval: Continuous background scanning
+
+## Monitoring and Maintenance
+
+### Health Checks
+
+```bash
+# Check P2P connectivity
+sudo journalctl -u bzzz | grep "Connected to"
+
+# Monitor capability broadcasts
+sudo journalctl -u bzzz | grep "capability_broadcast"
+
+# Check for errors
+sudo journalctl -u bzzz -p err
+```
+
+### Performance Monitoring
+
+```bash
+# Resource usage
+sudo systemctl status bzzz
+
+# Memory usage
+ps aux | grep bzzz
+
+# Network connections
+sudo netstat -tulpn | grep bzzz
+```
+
+### Maintenance Tasks
+
+1. **Log Rotation**: Systemd handles log rotation automatically
+2. **Service Updates**: Stop service, replace binary, restart
+3. **Configuration Changes**: Edit service file, reload systemd, restart
+
+## Uninstalling
+
+To remove the service:
+
+```bash
+sudo ./uninstall-service.sh
+```
+
+This will:
+- Stop the service if running
+- Disable auto-start
+- Remove service file
+- Reload systemd daemon
+- Reset any failed states
+
+Note: Binary and project files remain intact.
+
+## Deployment Timeline
+
+- **2025-07-12 19:46**: WALNUT service installed and started
+- **2025-07-12 19:49**: IRONWOOD service installed and started  
+- **2025-07-12 19:49**: ACACIA service installed and started
+- **2025-07-12 19:50**: Full mesh network established (3 nodes)
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Integration**: Connect with Hive task coordination system
+2. **Monitoring**: Set up centralized monitoring dashboard
+3. **Scaling**: Add additional nodes to expand P2P mesh
+4. **Task Execution**: Implement actual task processing workflows
