- Remove `2>/dev/null` from shell command that was suppressing all stderr output
- Command errors like "command not found" are now properly displayed to users

+Review all documentation in this repository for accuracy, completeness, and consistency. Cross-reference documentation against the actual codebase to identify issues.
+
+## Scope
+
+Review all documentation files:
+- docs/*.md (primary documentation)
+- README.md (repository landing page)
+- CLAUDE.md (development guidelines)
+- examples/README.md (example configurations)
+
+## Review Checklist
+
+### 1. Command Documentation
+
+For each documented command, verify against the CLI source code:
+
+- Command exists in codebase
+- All options are documented with correct names, types, and defaults
+- Short options (-x) match long options (--xxx)
+- Examples would work as written
+- Check for undocumented commands or options
+
+Run `--help` for each command to verify.
+
+### 2. Configuration Documentation
+
+Verify against Pydantic models in the config module:
+
+- All config keys are documented
+- Types match Pydantic field types
+- Required vs optional fields are correct
+- Default values are accurate
+- Config file search order matches code
+- Example YAML is valid and uses current schema
+
+### 3. Architecture Documentation
+
+Verify against actual directory structure:
+
+- File paths match actual source code location
+- All modules listed actually exist
+- No modules are missing from the list
+- Component descriptions match code functionality
+- CLI module list includes all command files
+
+### 4. State and Data Files
+
+Verify against state and path modules:
+
+- State file name and location are correct
+- State file format matches actual structure
+- Log file name and location are correct
+- What triggers state/log updates is accurate
+
+### 5. Installation Documentation
+
+Verify against pyproject.toml:
+
+- Python version requirement matches requires-python
+- Package name is correct
+- Optional dependencies are documented
+- CLI entry points are mentioned
+- Installation methods work as documented
+
+### 6. Feature Claims
+
+For each claimed feature, verify it exists and works as described.
+
+### 7. Cross-Reference Consistency
+
+Check for conflicts between documentation files:
+
+- README vs docs/index.md (should be consistent)
+- CLAUDE.md vs actual code structure
+- Command tables match across files
+- Config examples are consistent
+
+### 8. Recent Changes Check
+
+Before starting the review:
+
+- Run `git log --oneline -20` to see recent commits
+- Look for commits with `feat:`, `fix:`, or that mention new options/commands
+- Cross-reference these against the documentation to catch undocumented features
+
+### 9. Auto-Generated Content
+
+For README.md or docs with `<!-- CODE:BASH:START -->` blocks:
+
+- Run `uv run markdown-code-runner <file>` to regenerate outputs
+- Check for missing `<!-- OUTPUT:START -->` markers (blocks that never ran)
+- Verify help output matches current CLI behavior
+
+### 10. CLI Options Completeness
+
+For each command, run `cf <command> --help` and verify:
+
+- Every option shown in help is documented
+- Short flags (-x) are listed alongside long flags (--xxx)
+- Default values in help match documented defaults
+
+## Output Format
+
+Provide findings in these categories:
+
+1. **Critical Issues**: Incorrect information that would cause user problems
+2. **Inaccuracies**: Technical errors, wrong defaults, incorrect paths
+3. **Missing Documentation**: Features/commands that exist but aren't documented
+4. **Outdated Content**: Information that was once true but no longer is
+5. **Inconsistencies**: Conflicts between different documentation files
+6. **Minor Issues**: Typos, formatting, unclear wording
+7. **Verified Accurate**: Sections confirmed to be correct
+
+For each issue, include:
+- File path and line number (if applicable)
+- What the documentation says
+- What the code actually does
+- Suggested fix

+## Web UI Icons
+
+Icons use [Lucide](https://lucide.dev/). Add new icons as macros in `web/templates/partials/icons.html` by copying SVG paths from their site. The `action_btn`, `stat_card`, and `collapse` macros in `components.html` accept an optional `icon` parameter.
+
+## HTMX Patterns
+
+- **Multi-element refresh**: Use custom events, not `hx-swap-oob`. Elements have `hx-trigger="cf:refresh from:body"` and JS calls `document.body.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('cf:refresh'))`. Simpler to debug/test.
+- **SPA navigation**: Sidebar uses `hx-boost="true"` to AJAX-ify links.
+- **Attribute inheritance**: Set `hx-target`/`hx-swap` on parent elements.
+
 ## Key Design Decisions
 
 1. **Hybrid SSH approach**: asyncssh for parallel streaming with prefixes; native `ssh -t` for raw mode (progress bars)
-2. **Parallel by default**: Multiple services run concurrently via `asyncio.gather`
-3. **Streaming output**: Real-time stdout/stderr with `[service]` prefix using Rich
+2. **Parallel by default**: Multiple stacks run concurrently via `asyncio.gather`
+3. **Streaming output**: Real-time stdout/stderr with `[stack]` prefix using Rich
 4. **SSH key auth only**: Uses ssh-agent, no password handling (YAGNI)
 5. **NFS assumption**: Compose files at same path on all hosts
 6. **Local IP auto-detection**: Skips SSH when target host matches local machine's IP
-7. **State tracking**: Tracks where services are deployed for auto-migration
+7. **State tracking**: Tracks where stacks are deployed for auto-migration
 8. **Pre-flight checks**: Verifies NFS mounts and Docker networks exist before starting/migrating
 
+## Code Style
+
+- **Imports at top level**: Never add imports inside functions unless they are explicitly marked with `# noqa: PLC0415` and a comment explaining it speeds up CLI startup. Heavy modules like `pydantic`, `yaml`, and `rich.table` are lazily imported to keep `cf --help` fast.
+
+## Development Commands
+
+Use `just` for common tasks. Run `just` to list available commands:
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `just install` | Install dev dependencies |
+| `just test` | Run all tests |
+| `just test-cli` | Run CLI tests (parallel) |
+| `just test-web` | Run web UI tests (parallel) |
+| `just lint` | Lint, format, and type check |
+| `just web` | Start web UI (port 9001) |
+| `just doc` | Build and serve docs (port 9002) |
+| `just clean` | Clean build artifacts |
+
+## Testing
+
+Run tests with `just test` or `uv run pytest`. Browser tests require Chromium (system-installed or via `playwright install chromium`):
+
+```bash
+# Unit tests only (parallel)
+uv run pytest -m "not browser" -n auto
+
+# Browser tests only (parallel)
+uv run pytest -m browser -n auto
+
+# All tests
+uv run pytest
+```
+
+Browser tests are marked with `@pytest.mark.browser`. They use Playwright to test HTMX behavior, JavaScript functionality (sidebar filter, command palette, terminals), and content stability during navigation.

+## Pull Requests
+
+- Never include unchecked checklists (e.g., `- [ ] ...`) in PR descriptions. Either omit the checklist or use checked items.
+- **NEVER run `gh pr merge`**. PRs are merged via the GitHub UI, not the CLI.
+
+## Releases
+
+Use `gh release create` to create releases. The tag is created automatically.

+# Architecture
+
+This document explains how Compose Farm works under the hood.
+
+## Design Philosophy
+
+Compose Farm follows three core principles:
+
+1. **KISS** - Keep it simple. It's a thin wrapper around `docker compose` over SSH.
+2. **YAGNI** - No orchestration, no service discovery, no health checks until needed.
+3. **Zero changes** - Your existing compose files work unchanged.
+
+## High-Level Architecture
+

+
+## Core Components
+
+### Configuration (`src/compose_farm/config.py`)
+
+Pydantic models for YAML configuration:
+
+- **Config** - Root configuration with compose_dir, hosts, stacks
+- **Host** - Host address, SSH user, and port
+
+Key features:
+- Validation with Pydantic
+- Multi-host stack expansion (`all` → list of hosts)
+- YAML loading with sensible defaults
+
+### State Tracking (`src/compose_farm/state.py`)
+
+Tracks deployment state in `compose-farm-state.yaml` (stored alongside the config file):
+
+```yaml
+deployed:
+  plex: nuc
+  grafana: nuc
+```
+
+Used for:
+- Detecting migrations (stack moved to different host)
+- Identifying orphans (stacks removed from config)
+- `cf ps` status display
+
+### Operations (`src/compose_farm/operations.py`)
+
+Business logic for stack operations:
+
+- **up** - Start stack, handle migration if needed
+- **down** - Stop stack
+- **preflight checks** - Verify mounts, networks exist before operations
+- **discover** - Find running stacks on hosts
+- **migrate** - Down on old host, up on new host
+
+### Executor (`src/compose_farm/executor.py`)
+
+SSH and local command execution:
+
+- **Hybrid SSH approach**: asyncssh for parallel streaming, native `ssh -t` for raw mode
+- **Parallel by default**: Multiple stacks via `asyncio.gather`
+- **Streaming output**: Real-time stdout/stderr with `[stack]` prefix
+- **Local detection**: Skips SSH when target matches local machine IP
+
+### CLI (`src/compose_farm/cli/`)
+
+Typer-based CLI with subcommand modules:
+
+```
+cli/
+├── app.py          # Shared Typer app, version callback
+├── common.py       # Shared helpers, options, progress utilities
+├── config.py       # config subcommand (init, show, path, validate, edit, symlink)
+├── lifecycle.py    # up, down, stop, pull, restart, update, apply, compose
+├── management.py   # refresh, check, init-network, traefik-file
+├── monitoring.py   # logs, ps, stats
+├── ssh.py          # SSH key management (setup, status, keygen)
+└── web.py          # Web UI server command
+```
+
+## Command Flow
+
+### cf up plex
+
+```
+1. Load configuration
+   └─► Parse compose-farm.yaml
+   └─► Validate stack exists
+
+2. Check state
+   └─► Load state.yaml
+   └─► Is plex already running?
+   └─► Is it on a different host? (migration needed)
+
+3. Pre-flight checks
+   └─► SSH to target host
+   └─► Check compose file exists
+   └─► Check required mounts exist
+   └─► Check required networks exist
+
+4. Execute migration (if needed)
+   └─► SSH to old host
+   └─► Run: docker compose down
+
+5. Start stack
+   └─► SSH to target host
+   └─► cd /opt/compose/plex
+   └─► Run: docker compose up -d
+
+6. Update state
+   └─► Write new state to state.yaml
+
+7. Generate Traefik config (if configured)
+   └─► Regenerate traefik file-provider
+```
+
+### cf apply
+
+```
+1. Load configuration and state
+
+2. Compute diff
+   ├─► Orphans: in state, not in config
+   ├─► Migrations: in both, different host
+   └─► Missing: in config, not in state
+
+3. Stop orphans
+   └─► For each orphan: cf down
+
+4. Migrate stacks
+   └─► For each migration: down old, up new
+
+5. Start missing
+   └─► For each missing: cf up
+
+6. Update state
+```
+
+## SSH Execution
+
+### Parallel Streaming (asyncssh)
+
+For most operations, Compose Farm uses asyncssh:
+
+```python
+async def run_command(host, command):
+    async with asyncssh.connect(host) as conn:
+        result = await conn.run(command)
+        return result.stdout, result.stderr
+```
+
+Multiple stacks run concurrently via `asyncio.gather`.
+
+### Raw Mode (native ssh)
+
+For commands needing PTY (progress bars, interactive):
+
+```bash
+ssh -t user@host "docker compose pull"
+```
+
+### Local Detection
+
+When target host IP matches local machine:
+
+```python
+if is_local(host_address):
+    # Run locally, no SSH
+    subprocess.run(command)
+else:
+    # SSH to remote
+    ssh.run(command)
+```
+
+## State Management
+
+### State File
+
+Location: `compose-farm-state.yaml` (stored alongside the config file)
+
+```yaml
+deployed:
+  plex: nuc
+  grafana: nuc
+```
+
+Image digests are stored separately in `dockerfarm-log.toml` (also in the config directory).
+
+### State Transitions
+
+```
+Config Change          State Change           Action
+─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+Add stack            Missing                 cf up
+Remove stack         Orphaned                cf down
+Change host           Migration               down old, up new
+No change             No change               none (or refresh)
+```
+
+### cf refresh
+
+Syncs state with reality by querying Docker on each host:
+
+```bash
+docker ps --format '{{.Names}}'
+```
+
+Updates state.yaml to match what's actually running.
+
+## Compose File Discovery
+
+For each stack, Compose Farm looks for compose files in:
+
+```
+{compose_dir}/{stack}/
+├── compose.yaml         # preferred
+├── compose.yml
+├── docker-compose.yml
+└── docker-compose.yaml
+```
+
+First match wins.
+
+## Traefik Integration
+
+### Label Extraction
+
+Compose Farm parses Traefik labels from compose files:
+
+```yaml
+stacks:
+  plex:
+    labels:
+      - traefik.enable=true
+      - traefik.http.routers.plex.rule=Host(`plex.example.com`)
+      - traefik.http.services.plex.loadbalancer.server.port=32400
+```
+
+### File Provider Generation
+
+Converts labels to Traefik file-provider YAML:
+
+```yaml
+http:
+  routers:
+    plex:
+      rule: Host(`plex.example.com`)
+      service: plex
+  services:
+    plex:
+      loadBalancer:
+        servers:
+          - url: http://192.168.1.10:32400
+```
+
+### Variable Resolution
+
+Supports `${VAR}` and `${VAR:-default}` from:
+1. Service's `.env` file
+2. Current environment
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Pre-flight Failures
+
+Before any operation, Compose Farm checks:
+- SSH connectivity
+- Compose file existence
+- Required mounts
+- Required networks
+
+If checks fail, operation aborts with clear error.
+
+### Partial Failures
+
+When operating on multiple stacks:
+- Each stack is independent
+- Failures are logged, but other stacks continue
+- Exit code reflects overall success/failure
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Parallel Execution
+
+Services are started/stopped in parallel:
+
+```python
+await asyncio.gather(*[
+    up_stack(stack) for stack in stacks
+])
+```
+
+### SSH Multiplexing
+
+For repeated connections to the same host, SSH reuses connections.
+
+### Caching
+
+- Config is parsed once per command
+- State is loaded once, written once
+- Host discovery results are cached during command
+
+## Web UI Architecture

+# Best Practices
+
+Tips, limitations, and recommendations for using Compose Farm effectively.
+
+## Limitations
+
+### No Cross-Host Networking
+
+Compose Farm moves containers between hosts but **does not provide cross-host networking**. Docker's internal DNS and networks don't span hosts.
+
+**What breaks when you move a stack:**
+
+| Feature | Works? | Why |
+|---------|--------|-----|
+| `http://redis:6379` | No | Docker DNS doesn't cross hosts |
+| Docker network names | No | Networks are per-host |
+| `DATABASE_URL=postgres://db:5432` | No | Container name won't resolve |
+| Host IP addresses | Yes | Use `192.168.1.10:5432` |
+
+### What Compose Farm Doesn't Do
+
+- No overlay networking (use Swarm/Kubernetes)
+- No service discovery across hosts
+- No automatic dependency tracking between compose files
+- No health checks or restart policies beyond Docker's
+- No secrets management beyond Docker's
+
+## Stack Organization
+
+### Keep Dependencies Together
+
+If services talk to each other, keep them in the same compose file on the same host:
+
+```yaml
+# /opt/compose/myapp/docker-compose.yml
+services:
+  app:
+    image: myapp
+    depends_on:
+      - db
+      - redis
+
+  db:
+    image: postgres
+
+  redis:
+    image: redis
+```
+
+```yaml
+# compose-farm.yaml
+stacks:
+  myapp: nuc  # All three containers stay together
+```
+
+### Separate Standalone Stacks
+
+Stacks whose services don't talk to other containers can be anywhere:
+
+```yaml
+stacks:
+  # These can run on any host
+  plex: nuc
+  jellyfin: hp
+  homeassistant: nas
+
+  # These should stay together
+  myapp: nuc  # includes app + db + redis
+```
+
+### Cross-Host Communication
+
+If services MUST communicate across hosts, publish ports:
+
+```yaml
+# Instead of
+DATABASE_URL=postgres://db:5432
+
+# Use
+DATABASE_URL=postgres://192.168.1.10:5432
+```
+
+```yaml
+# And publish the port
+services:
+  db:
+    ports:
+      - "5432:5432"
+```
+
+## Multi-Host Stacks
+
+### When to Use `all`
+
+Use `all` for stacks that need local access to each host:
+
+```yaml
+stacks:
+  # Need Docker socket
+  dozzle: all          # Log viewer
+  portainer-agent: all  # Portainer agents
+  autokuma: all        # Auto-creates monitors
+
+  # Need host metrics
+  node-exporter: all   # Prometheus metrics
+  promtail: all        # Log shipping
+```
+
+### Host-Specific Lists
+
+For stacks on specific hosts only:
+
+```yaml
+stacks:
+  # Only on compute nodes
+  gitlab-runner: [nuc, hp]
+
+  # Only on storage nodes
+  minio: [nas-1, nas-2]
+```
+
+## Migration Safety
+
+### Pre-flight Checks
+
+Before migrating, Compose Farm verifies:
+- Compose file is accessible on new host
+- Required mounts exist on new host
+- Required networks exist on new host
+
+### Data Considerations
+
+**Compose Farm doesn't move data.** Ensure:
+
+1. **Shared storage**: Data volumes on NFS/shared storage
+2. **External databases**: Data in external DB, not container
+3. **Backup first**: Always backup before migration
+
+### Safe Migration Pattern
+
+```bash
+# 1. Preview changes
+cf apply --dry-run
+
+# 2. Verify target host can run the stack
+cf check myservice
+
+# 3. Apply changes
+cf apply
+```
+
+## State Management
+
+### When to Refresh
+
+Run `cf refresh` after:
+- Manual `docker compose` commands
+- Container restarts
+- Host reboots
+- Any changes outside Compose Farm
+
+```bash
+cf refresh --dry-run  # Preview
+cf refresh            # Sync
+```
+
+### State Conflicts
+
+If state doesn't match reality:
+
+```bash
+# See what's actually running
+cf refresh --dry-run
+
+# Sync state
+cf refresh
+
+# Then apply config
+cf apply
+```
+
+## Shared Storage
+
+### NFS Best Practices
+
+```bash
+# Mount options for Docker compatibility
+nas:/compose /opt/compose nfs rw,hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0
+```
+
+### Directory Ownership
+
+Ensure consistent UID/GID across hosts:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  myapp:
+    environment:
+      - PUID=1000
+      - PGID=1000
+```
+
+### Config vs Data
+
+Keep config and data separate:
+
+```
+/opt/compose/          # Shared: compose files + config
+├── plex/
+│   ├── docker-compose.yml
+│   └── config/        # Small config files OK
+
+/mnt/data/             # Shared: large media files
+├── movies/
+├── tv/
+└── music/
+
+/opt/appdata/          # Local: per-host app data
+├── plex/
+└── grafana/
+```
+
+## Performance
+
+### Parallel Operations
+
+Compose Farm runs operations in parallel. For large deployments:
+
+```bash
+# Good: parallel by default
+cf up --all
+
+# Avoid: sequential updates when possible
+for svc in plex grafana nextcloud; do
+  cf update $svc
+done
+```
+
+### SSH Connection Reuse
+
+SSH connections are reused within a command. For many operations:
+
+```bash
+# One command, one connection per host
+cf update --all
+
+# Multiple commands, multiple connections (slower)
+cf update plex && cf update grafana && cf update nextcloud
+```
+
+## Traefik Setup
+
+### Stack Placement
+
+Put Traefik on a reliable host:
+
+```yaml
+stacks:
+  traefik: nuc  # Primary host with good uptime
+```
+
+### Same-Host Stacks
+
+Stacks on the same host as Traefik use Docker provider:
+
+```yaml
+traefik_stack: traefik
+
+stacks:
+  traefik: nuc
+  portainer: nuc   # Docker provider handles this
+  plex: hp         # File provider handles this
+```
+
+### Middleware in Separate File
+
+Define middlewares outside Compose Farm's generated file:
+
+```yaml
+# /opt/traefik/dynamic.d/middlewares.yml
+http:
+  middlewares:
+    redirect-https:
+      redirectScheme:
+        scheme: https
+```
+
+## Backup Strategy
+
+### What to Backup
+
+| Item | Location | Method |
+|------|----------|--------|
+| Compose Farm config | `~/.config/compose-farm/` | Git or copy |
+| Compose files | `/opt/compose/` | Git |
+| State file | `~/.config/compose-farm/compose-farm-state.yaml` | Optional (can refresh) |
+| App data | `/opt/appdata/` | Backup solution |
+
+### Disaster Recovery
+
+```bash
+# Restore config
+cp backup/compose-farm.yaml ~/.config/compose-farm/
+
+# Refresh state from running containers
+cf refresh
+
+# Or start fresh
+cf apply
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**Stack won't start:**
+```bash
+cf check myservice      # Verify mounts/networks
+cf logs myservice       # Check container logs
+```
+
+**Migration fails:**
+```bash
+cf check myservice      # Verify new host is ready
+cf init-network newhost # Create network if missing
+```
+
+**State out of sync:**
+```bash
+cf refresh --dry-run    # See differences
+cf refresh              # Sync state
+```
+
+**SSH issues:**
+```bash
+cf ssh status           # Check key status
+cf ssh setup            # Re-setup keys
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### SSH Keys
+
+- Use dedicated SSH key for Compose Farm
+- Limit key to specific hosts if possible
+- Don't store keys in Docker images
+
+### Network Exposure
+
+- Published ports are accessible from network
+- Use firewalls for sensitive services
+- Consider VPN for cross-host communication
+
+### Secrets
+
+- Don't commit `.env` files with secrets
+- Use Docker secrets or external secret management
+- Avoid secrets in compose file labels
+
+## Comparison: When to Use Alternatives
+
+| Scenario | Solution |
+|----------|----------|
+| 2-10 hosts, static stacks | **Compose Farm** |
+| Cross-host container networking | Docker Swarm |
+| Auto-scaling, self-healing | Kubernetes |
+| Infrastructure as code | Ansible + Compose Farm |
+| High availability requirements | Kubernetes or Swarm |

+
+```bash
+cf apply [OPTIONS]
+```
+
+**Options:**
+
+| Option | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `--dry-run, -n` | Preview changes without executing |
+| `--no-orphans` | Skip stopping orphaned stacks |
+| `--full, -f` | Also refresh running stacks |
+| `--config, -c PATH` | Path to config file |
+
+**What it does:**
+
+1. Stops orphaned stacks (in state but removed from config)
+2. Migrates stacks on wrong host
+3. Starts missing stacks (in config but not running)
+
+**Examples:**
+
+```bash
+# Preview what would change
+cf apply --dry-run
+
+# Apply all changes
+cf apply
+
+# Only start/migrate, don't stop orphans
+cf apply --no-orphans
+
+# Also refresh all running stacks
+cf apply --full
+```
+
+---
+
+### cf up
+
+Start stacks. Auto-migrates if host assignment changed.
+
+```bash
+cf up [OPTIONS] [STACKS]...

+cf up --all
+
+# Start all stacks on a specific host
+cf up --all --host nuc
+
+# Start a specific service within a stack
+cf up immich --service database
+```
+
+**Auto-migration:**
+
+If you change a stack's host in config and run `cf up`:
+
+1. Verifies mounts/networks exist on new host
+2. Runs `down` on old host
+3. Runs `up -d` on new host
+4. Updates state

+# Configuration Reference
+
+Compose Farm uses a YAML configuration file to define hosts and stack assignments.
+
+## Config File Location
+
+Compose Farm looks for configuration in this order:
+
+1. `-c` / `--config` flag (if provided)
+2. `CF_CONFIG` environment variable
+3. `./compose-farm.yaml` (current directory)
+4. `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/compose-farm/compose-farm.yaml` (defaults to `~/.config`)
+
+Use `-c` / `--config` to specify a custom path:
+
+```bash
+cf ps -c /path/to/config.yaml
+```
+
+Or set the environment variable:
+
+```bash
+export CF_CONFIG=/path/to/config.yaml
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Single host (local-only)
+
+```yaml
+# Required: directory containing compose files
+compose_dir: /opt/stacks
+
+# Define local host
+hosts:
+  local: localhost
+
+# Map stacks to the local host
+stacks:
+  plex: local
+  grafana: local
+  nextcloud: local
+```
+
+### Multi-host (full example)
+
+```yaml
+# Required: directory containing compose files (same path on all hosts)
+compose_dir: /opt/compose
+
+# Optional: auto-regenerate Traefik config
+traefik_file: /opt/traefik/dynamic.d/compose-farm.yml
+traefik_stack: traefik
+
+# Define Docker hosts
+hosts:
+  nuc:
+    address: 192.168.1.10
+    user: docker
+  hp:
+    address: 192.168.1.11
+    user: admin
+
+# Map stacks to hosts
+stacks:
+  # Single-host stacks
+  plex: nuc
+  grafana: nuc
+  nextcloud: hp
+
+  # Multi-host stacks
+  dozzle: all                    # Run on ALL hosts
+  node-exporter: [nuc, hp]       # Run on specific hosts
+```
+
+## Settings Reference
+
+### compose_dir (required)
+
+Directory containing your compose stack folders. Must be the same path on all hosts.
+
+```yaml
+compose_dir: /opt/compose
+```
+
+**Directory structure:**
+
+```
+/opt/compose/
+├── plex/
+│   ├── docker-compose.yml    # or compose.yaml
+│   └── .env                  # optional environment file
+├── grafana/
+│   └── docker-compose.yml
+└── ...
+```
+
+Supported compose file names (checked in order):
+- `compose.yaml`
+- `compose.yml`
+- `docker-compose.yml`
+- `docker-compose.yaml`
+
+### traefik_file
+
+Path to auto-generated Traefik file-provider config. When set, Compose Farm regenerates this file after `up`, `down`, `restart`, and `update` commands.
+
+```yaml
+traefik_file: /opt/traefik/dynamic.d/compose-farm.yml
+```
+
+### traefik_stack
+
+Stack name running Traefik. Stacks on the same host are skipped in file-provider config (Traefik's docker provider handles them).
+
+```yaml
+traefik_stack: traefik
+```
+
+## Hosts Configuration
+
+### Basic Host
+
+```yaml
+hosts:
+  myserver:
+    address: 192.168.1.10
+```
+
+### With SSH User
+
+```yaml
+hosts:
+  myserver:
+    address: 192.168.1.10
+    user: docker
+```
+
+If `user` is omitted, the current user is used.
+
+### With Custom SSH Port
+
+```yaml
+hosts:
+  myserver:
+    address: 192.168.1.10
+    user: docker
+    port: 2222  # SSH port (default: 22)
+```
+
+### Localhost
+
+For stacks running on the same machine where you invoke Compose Farm:
+
+```yaml
+hosts:
+  local: localhost
+```
+
+No SSH is used for localhost stacks.
+
+### Multiple Hosts
+
+```yaml
+hosts:
+  nuc:
+    address: 192.168.1.10
+    user: docker
+  hp:
+    address: 192.168.1.11
+    user: admin
+  truenas:
+    address: 192.168.1.100
+  local: localhost
+```
+
+## Stacks Configuration
+
+### Single-Host Stack
+
+```yaml
+stacks:
+  plex: nuc
+  grafana: nuc
+  nextcloud: hp
+```
+
+### Multi-Host Stack
+
+For stacks that need to run on every host (e.g., log shippers, monitoring agents):
+
+```yaml
+stacks:
+  # Run on ALL configured hosts
+  dozzle: all
+  promtail: all
+
+  # Run on specific hosts
+  node-exporter: [nuc, hp, truenas]
+```
+
+**Common multi-host stacks:**
+- **Dozzle** - Docker log viewer (needs local socket)
+- **Promtail/Alloy** - Log shipping (needs local socket)
+- **node-exporter** - Host metrics (needs /proc, /sys)
+- **AutoKuma** - Uptime Kuma monitors (needs local socket)
+
+### Stack Names
+
+Stack names must match directory names in `compose_dir`:
+
+```yaml
+compose_dir: /opt/compose
+stacks:
+  plex: nuc      # expects /opt/compose/plex/docker-compose.yml
+  my-app: hp     # expects /opt/compose/my-app/docker-compose.yml
+```
+
+## State File
+
+Compose Farm tracks deployment state in `compose-farm-state.yaml`, stored alongside the config file.
+
+For example, if your config is at `~/.config/compose-farm/compose-farm.yaml`, the state file will be at `~/.config/compose-farm/compose-farm-state.yaml`.
+
+```yaml
+deployed:
+  plex: nuc
+  grafana: nuc
+```
+
+This file records which stacks are deployed and on which host.
+
+**Don't edit manually.** Use `cf refresh` to sync state with reality.
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+### In Compose Files
+
+Your compose files can use `.env` files as usual:
+
+```
+/opt/compose/plex/
+├── docker-compose.yml
+└── .env
+```
+
+Compose Farm runs `docker compose` which handles `.env` automatically.
+
+### In Traefik Labels
+
+When generating Traefik config, Compose Farm resolves `${VAR}` and `${VAR:-default}` from:
+
+1. The stack's `.env` file
+2. Current environment
+
+## Config Commands
+
+### Initialize Config
+
+```bash
+cf config init
+```
+
+Creates a new config file with documented examples.
+
+### Validate Config
+
+```bash
+cf config validate
+```
+
+Checks syntax and schema.
+
+### Show Config
+
+```bash
+cf config show
+```
+
+Displays current config with syntax highlighting.
+
+### Edit Config
+
+```bash
+cf config edit
+```
+
+Opens config in `$EDITOR`.
+
+### Show Config Path
+
+```bash
+cf config path
+```
+
+Prints the config file location (useful for scripting).
+
+### Create Symlink
+
+```bash
+cf config symlink                          # Link to ./compose-farm.yaml
+cf config symlink /path/to/my-config.yaml  # Link to specific file
+```
+
+Creates a symlink from the default location (`~/.config/compose-farm/compose-farm.yaml`) to your config file. Use `--force` to overwrite an existing symlink.
+
+## Validation
+
+### Local Validation
+
+Fast validation without SSH:
+
+```bash
+cf check --local
+```
+
+Checks:
+- Config syntax
+- Stack-to-host mappings
+- Compose file existence
+
+### Full Validation
+
+```bash
+cf check
+```
+
+Additional SSH-based checks:
+- Host connectivity
+- Mount point existence
+- Docker network existence
+- Traefik label validation
+
+### Stack-Specific Check
+
+```bash
+cf check jellyfin
+```
+
+Shows which hosts can run the stack (have required mounts/networks).
+
+## Example Configurations
+
+### Minimal
+
+```yaml
+compose_dir: /opt/compose
+
+hosts:
+  server: 192.168.1.10
+
+stacks:

+```
+
+### Home Lab
+
+```yaml
+compose_dir: /opt/compose
+
+hosts:
+  nuc:
+    address: 192.168.1.10
+    user: docker
+  nas:
+    address: 192.168.1.100
+    user: admin
+

+  immich: nuc
+
+  # Infrastructure

+# Web UI Demo Recordings
+
+Playwright-based demo recording for Compose Farm web UI.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Chromium: `playwright install chromium`
+- ffmpeg: `apt install ffmpeg` or `brew install ffmpeg`
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+# Record all demos
+python docs/demos/web/record.py
+
+# Record specific demo
+python docs/demos/web/record.py navigation
+```
+
+## Demos
+
+| Demo | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `navigation` | Command palette fuzzy search and navigation |
+| `stack` | Stack restart/logs via command palette |
+| `themes` | Theme switching with arrow key preview |
+| `workflow` | Full workflow: filter, navigate, logs, themes |
+| `console` | Console terminal running cf commands |
+| `shell` | Container shell exec with top |
+
+## Output
+
+WebM and GIF files saved to `docs/assets/web-{demo}.{webm,gif}`.
+
+## Files
+
+- `record.py` - Orchestration script
+- `conftest.py` - Playwright fixtures, helper functions
+- `demo_*.py` - Individual demo scripts
+
+## Notes
+
+- Uses real config at `/opt/stacks/compose-farm.yaml`
+- Adjust `pause(page, ms)` calls to control timing
+- Viewport: 1280x720

-# Docker Swarm Overlay Networks with Compose Farm
-
-Notes from testing Docker Swarm's attachable overlay networks as a way to get cross-host container networking while still using `docker compose`.
-
-## The Idea
-
-Docker Swarm overlay networks can be made "attachable", allowing regular `docker compose` containers (not just swarm services) to join them. This would give us:
-
-- Cross-host Docker DNS (containers find each other by name)
-- No need to publish ports for inter-container communication
-- Keep using `docker compose up` instead of `docker stack deploy`
-
-## Setup Steps
-
-```bash
-# On manager node
-docker swarm init --advertise-addr <manager-ip>
-
-# On worker nodes (use token from init output)
-docker swarm join --token <token> <manager-ip>:2377
-
-# Create attachable overlay network (on manager)
-docker network create --driver overlay --attachable my-network
-
-# In compose files, add the network
-networks:
-  my-network:
-    external: true
-```
-
-## Required Ports
-
-Docker Swarm requires these ports open **bidirectionally** between all nodes:
-
-| Port | Protocol | Purpose |
-|------|----------|---------|
-| 2377 | TCP | Cluster management |
-| 7946 | TCP + UDP | Node communication |

-
-## Test Results (2024-12-13)
-
-- docker-debian (192.168.1.66) as manager
-- dev-lxc (192.168.1.167) as worker
-
-### What worked
-
-- Swarm init and join
-- Overlay network creation
-- Nodes showed as Ready
-
-### What failed
-
-- Container on dev-lxc couldn't attach to overlay network
-- Error: `attaching to network failed... context deadline exceeded`
-- Cause: Port 7946 blocked from docker-debian → dev-lxc
-
-### Root cause
-
-Firewall on dev-lxc wasn't configured to allow swarm ports. Opening these ports requires sudo access on each node.
-
-## Conclusion
-
-Docker Swarm overlay networks are **not plug-and-play**. Requirements:
-
-1. Swarm init/join on all nodes
-2. Firewall rules on all nodes (needs sudo/root)
-3. All nodes must have bidirectional connectivity on 3 ports
-
-For a simpler alternative, consider:
-
-- **Tailscale**: VPN mesh, containers use host's Tailscale IP
-- **Host networking + published ports**: What compose-farm does today
-- **Keep dependent services together**: Avoid cross-host networking entirely
-
-## Future Work
-
-If we decide to support overlay networks:
-
-1. Add a `compose-farm network create` command that:
-   - Initializes swarm if needed
-   - Creates attachable overlay network
-   - Documents required firewall rules
-
-2. Add network config to compose-farm.yaml:
-   ```yaml
-   overlay_network: compose-farm-net
-   ```
-
-3. Auto-inject network into compose files (or document manual setup)

-# Future Improvements
-
-Low-priority improvements identified during code review. These are not currently causing issues but could be addressed if they become pain points.
-
-## 1. State Module Efficiency (LOW)
-
-**Current:** Every state operation reads and writes the entire file.
-
-```python
-def set_service_host(config, service, host):
-    state = load_state(config)   # Read file
-    state[service] = host
-    save_state(config, state)    # Write file
-```
-
-**Impact:** With 87 services, this is fine. With 1000+, it would be slow.
-
-**Potential fix:** Add batch operations:
-```python
-def update_state(config, updates: dict[str, str | None]) -> None:
-    """Batch update: set services to hosts, None means remove."""
-    state = load_state(config)
-    for service, host in updates.items():
-        if host is None:
-            state.pop(service, None)
-        else:
-            state[service] = host
-    save_state(config, state)
-```
-
-**When to do:** Only if state operations become noticeably slow.
-
----
-
-## 2. Remote-Aware Compose Path Resolution (LOW)
-
-**Current:** `config.get_compose_path()` checks if files exist on the local filesystem:
-
-```python
-def get_compose_path(self, service: str) -> Path:
-    for filename in ("compose.yaml", "compose.yml", ...):
-        candidate = service_dir / filename
-        if candidate.exists():  # Local check!
-            return candidate
-```
-
-**Why this works:** NFS/shared storage means local = remote.
-
-**Why it could break:** If running compose-farm from a machine without the NFS mount, it returns `compose.yaml` (the default) even if `docker-compose.yml` exists on the remote host.
-
-**Potential fix:** Query the remote host for file existence, or accept this limitation and document it.
-
-**When to do:** Only if users need to run compose-farm from non-NFS machines.
-
----
-
-## 3. Add Integration Tests for CLI Commands (MEDIUM)
-
-**Current:** No integration tests for the actual CLI commands. Tests cover the underlying functions but not the Typer commands themselves.
-
-**Potential fix:** Add integration tests using `CliRunner` from Typer:
-
-```python
-from typer.testing import CliRunner
-from compose_farm.cli import app
-
-runner = CliRunner()
-
-def test_check_command_validates_config():
-    result = runner.invoke(app, ["check", "--local"])
-    assert result.exit_code == 0
-```
-
-**When to do:** When CLI behavior becomes complex enough to warrant dedicated testing.
-
----
-
-## 4. Add Tests for operations.py (MEDIUM)
-
-**Current:** Operations module has 30% coverage. Most logic is tested indirectly through test_sync.py.
-
-**Potential fix:** Add dedicated tests for:
-- `up_services()` with migration scenarios
-- `preflight_check()`
-- `check_host_compatibility()`
-
-**When to do:** When adding new operations or modifying migration logic.
-
----
-
-## 5. Consider Structured Logging (LOW)
-
-**Current:** Operations print directly to console using Rich. This couples the operations module to the Rich library.
-
-**Potential fix:** Use Python's logging module with a custom Rich handler:
-
-```python
-import logging
-
-logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
-
-# In operations:
-logger.info("Migrating %s from %s to %s", service, old_host, new_host)
-
-# In cli.py - configure Rich handler:
-from rich.logging import RichHandler
-logging.basicConfig(handlers=[RichHandler()])
-```
-
-**Benefits:**
-- Operations become testable without capturing stdout
-- Logs can be redirected to files
-- Log levels provide filtering
-
-**When to do:** Only if console output coupling becomes a problem for testing or extensibility.
-
----
-
-## Design Decisions to Keep
-
-These patterns are working well and should be preserved:
-
-1. **asyncio + asyncssh** - Solid async foundation
-2. **Pydantic models** - Clean validation
-3. **Rich for output** - Good UX
-4. **Test structure** - Good coverage
-5. **Module separation** - cli/operations/executor/compose pattern
-6. **KISS principle** - Don't over-engineer

+# Getting Started
+
+This guide walks you through installing Compose Farm and setting up your first multi-host deployment.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before you begin, ensure you have:
+
+- **[uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)** (recommended) or Python 3.11+
+- **SSH key-based authentication** to your Docker hosts
+- **Docker and Docker Compose** installed on all target hosts
+- **Shared storage** for compose files (NFS, Syncthing, etc.)
+
+## Installation
+
+<video autoplay loop muted playsinline>
+  <source src="/assets/install.webm" type="video/webm">
+</video>
+
+### One-liner (recommended)
+
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://compose-farm.nijho.lt/install | sh
+```
+
+This installs [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) if needed, then installs compose-farm.
+
+### Using uv
+
+If you already have [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) installed:
+
+```bash
+uv tool install compose-farm
+```
+
+### Using pip
+
+If you already have Python 3.11+ installed:
+
+```bash
+pip install compose-farm
+```
+
+### Using Docker
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm \
+  -v $SSH_AUTH_SOCK:/ssh-agent -e SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/ssh-agent \
+  -v ./compose-farm.yaml:/root/.config/compose-farm/compose-farm.yaml:ro \
+  ghcr.io/basnijholt/compose-farm up --all
+```
+
+### Verify Installation
+
+```bash
+cf --version
+cf --help
+```
+
+## SSH Setup
+
+Compose Farm uses SSH to run commands on remote hosts. You need passwordless SSH access.
+
+### Option 1: SSH Agent (default)
+
+If you already have SSH keys loaded in your agent:
+
+```bash
+# Verify keys are loaded
+ssh-add -l
+
+# Test connection
+ssh user@192.168.1.10 "docker --version"
+```
+
+### Option 2: Dedicated Key (recommended for Docker)
+
+For persistent access when running in Docker:
+
+```bash
+# Generate and distribute key to all hosts
+cf ssh setup
+
+# Check status
+cf ssh status
+```
+
+This creates `~/.ssh/compose-farm/id_ed25519` and copies the public key to each host.
+
+## Shared Storage Setup
+
+Compose files must be accessible at the **same path** on all hosts. Common approaches:
+
+### NFS Mount
+
+```bash
+# On each Docker host
+sudo mount nas:/volume1/compose /opt/compose
+
+# Or add to /etc/fstab
+nas:/volume1/compose /opt/compose nfs defaults 0 0
+```
+
+### Directory Structure
+
+```
+/opt/compose/           # compose_dir in config
+├── plex/
+│   └── docker-compose.yml
+├── grafana/
+│   └── docker-compose.yml
+├── nextcloud/
+│   └── docker-compose.yml
+└── jellyfin/
+    └── docker-compose.yml
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Create Config File
+
+Create `compose-farm.yaml` in the directory where you'll run commands. For example, if your stacks are in `/opt/stacks`, place the config there too:
+
+```bash
+cd /opt/stacks
+cf config init
+```
+
+Alternatively, use `~/.config/compose-farm/compose-farm.yaml` for a global config. You can also symlink a working directory config to the global location:
+
+```bash
+# Create config in your stacks directory, symlink to ~/.config
+cf config symlink /opt/stacks/compose-farm.yaml
+```
+
+This way, `cf` commands work from anywhere while the config lives with your stacks.
+
+#### Single host example
+
+```yaml
+# Where compose files are located (one folder per stack)
+compose_dir: /opt/stacks
+
+hosts:
+  local: localhost
+
+stacks:
+  plex: local
+  grafana: local
+  nextcloud: local
+```
+
+#### Multi-host example
+```yaml
+# Where compose files are located (same path on all hosts)
+compose_dir: /opt/compose
+
+# Define your Docker hosts
+hosts:
+  nuc:
+    address: 192.168.1.10
+    user: docker           # SSH user
+  hp:
+    address: 192.168.1.11
+    # user defaults to current user
+
+# Map stacks to hosts
+stacks:
+  plex: nuc
+  grafana: nuc
+  nextcloud: hp
+```
+
+Each entry in `stacks:` maps to a folder under `compose_dir` that contains a compose file.
+
+For cross-host HTTP routing, add Traefik labels and configure `traefik_file` (see [Traefik Integration](traefik.md)).
+### Validate Configuration
+
+```bash
+cf check --local
+```
+
+This validates syntax without SSH connections. For full validation:
+
+```bash
+cf check
+```
+
+## First Commands
+
+### Check Status
+
+```bash
+cf ps
+```
+
+Shows all configured stacks and their status.
+
+### Start All Stacks
+
+```bash
+cf up --all
+```
+
+Starts all stacks on their assigned hosts.
+
+### Start Specific Stacks
+
+```bash
+cf up plex grafana
+```
+
+### Apply Configuration
+
+The most powerful command - reconciles reality with your config:
+
+```bash
+cf apply --dry-run   # Preview changes
+cf apply             # Execute changes
+```
+
+This will:
+1. Start stacks in config but not running
+2. Migrate stacks on wrong host
+3. Stop stacks removed from config
+
+## Docker Network Setup
+
+If your stacks use an external Docker network:
+
+```bash
+# Create network on all hosts
+cf init-network
+
+# Or specific hosts
+cf init-network nuc hp
+```
+
+Default network: `mynetwork` with subnet `172.20.0.0/16`
+
+## Example Workflow
+
+### 1. Add a New Stack
+
+Create the compose file:
+
+```bash
+# On any host (shared storage)
+mkdir -p /opt/compose/gitea
+cat > /opt/compose/gitea/docker-compose.yml << 'EOF'
+services:
+  gitea:
+    image: docker.gitea.com/gitea:latest
+    container_name: gitea
+    environment:
+      - USER_UID=1000
+      - USER_GID=1000
+    volumes:
+      - /opt/config/gitea:/data
+      - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
+      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
+    ports:
+      - "3000:3000"
+      - "2222:22"
+    restart: unless-stopped
+EOF
+```
+
+Add to config:
+
+```yaml
+stacks:
+  # ... existing stacks
+  gitea: nuc
+```
+
+Start the stack:
+
+```bash
+cf up gitea
+```
+
+### 2. Move a Stack to Another Host
+
+Edit `compose-farm.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+stacks:
+  plex: hp  # Changed from nuc
+```
+
+Apply the change:
+
+```bash
+cf up plex
+# Automatically: down on nuc, up on hp
+```
+
+Or use apply to reconcile everything:
+
+```bash
+cf apply
+```
+
+### 3. Update All Stacks
+
+```bash
+cf update --all
+# Runs: pull + build + down + up for each stack
+```

+# Compose Farm
+
+A minimal CLI tool to run Docker Compose commands across multiple hosts via SSH.
+
+## What is Compose Farm?
+
+Compose Farm lets you manage Docker Compose stacks across multiple machines from a single command line. Think [Dockge](https://dockge.kuma.pet/) but with a CLI and web interface, designed for multi-host deployments.
+
+Define which stacks run where in one YAML file, then use `cf apply` to make reality match your configuration.
+It also works great on a single host with one folder per stack; just map stacks to `localhost`.
+
+## Quick Demo
+
+**CLI:**
+<video autoplay loop muted playsinline>
+  <source src="/assets/quickstart.webm" type="video/webm">
+</video>
+
+**[Web UI](web-ui.md):**
+<video autoplay loop muted playsinline>
+  <source src="/assets/web-workflow.webm" type="video/webm">
+</video>
+
+## Why Compose Farm?
+
+| Problem | Compose Farm Solution |
+|---------|----------------------|
+| 100+ containers on one machine | Distribute across multiple hosts |
+| Kubernetes too complex | Just SSH + docker compose |
+| Swarm in maintenance mode | Zero infrastructure changes |
+| Manual SSH for each host | Single command for all |
+
+**It's a convenience wrapper, not a new paradigm.** Your existing `docker-compose.yml` files work unchanged.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Single host
+
+No SSH, shared storage, or Traefik file-provider required.
+
+```yaml
+# compose-farm.yaml
+compose_dir: /opt/stacks
+
+hosts:
+  local: localhost
+
+stacks:
+  plex: local
+  jellyfin: local
+  traefik: local
+```
+
+```bash
+cf apply  # Start/stop stacks to match config
+```
+
+### Multi-host
+
+Requires SSH plus a shared `compose_dir` path on all hosts (NFS or sync).
+
+```yaml
+# compose-farm.yaml
+compose_dir: /opt/compose
+
+hosts:
+  server-1:
+    address: 192.168.1.10
+  server-2:
+    address: 192.168.1.11
+
+stacks:
+  plex: server-1
+  jellyfin: server-2
+  grafana: server-1
+```
+
+```bash
+cf apply  # Stacks start, migrate, or stop as needed
+```
+
+Each entry in `stacks:` maps to a folder under `compose_dir` that contains a compose file.
+
+For cross-host HTTP routing, add Traefik labels and configure `traefik_file` to generate file-provider config.
+### Installation
+
+```bash
+uv tool install compose-farm
+# or
+pip install compose-farm
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+Create `compose-farm.yaml` in the directory where you'll run commands (e.g., `/opt/stacks`), or in `~/.config/compose-farm/`:
+
+```yaml
+compose_dir: /opt/compose
+
+hosts:
+  nuc:
+    address: 192.168.1.10
+    user: docker
+  hp:
+    address: 192.168.1.11
+
+stacks:
+  plex: nuc
+  grafana: nuc
+  nextcloud: hp
+```
+
+See [Configuration](configuration.md) for all options and the full search order.
+
+### Usage
+
+```bash
+# Make reality match config
+cf apply
+
+# Start specific stacks
+cf up plex grafana
+
+# Check status
+cf ps
+
+# View logs
+cf logs -f plex
+```
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **Declarative configuration**: One YAML defines where everything runs
+- **Auto-migration**: Change a host assignment, run `cf up`, stack moves automatically
+
+<video autoplay loop muted playsinline>
+  <source src="/assets/migration.webm" type="video/webm">
+</video>
+- **Parallel execution**: Multiple stacks start/stop concurrently
+- **State tracking**: Knows which stacks are running where
+- **Traefik integration**: Generate file-provider config for cross-host routing
+- **Zero changes**: Your compose files work as-is
+
+## Requirements
+
+- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) (recommended) or Python 3.11+
+- SSH key-based authentication to your Docker hosts
+- Docker and Docker Compose on all target hosts
+- Shared storage (compose files at same path on all hosts)

+# Title options
+
+- Multi-host Docker Compose without Kubernetes or file changes
+- I built a CLI to run Docker Compose across hosts. Zero changes to your files.
+- I made a CLI to run Docker Compose across multiple hosts without Kubernetes or Swarm
+---
+
+I've been running 100+ Docker Compose stacks on a single machine, and it kept running out of memory. I needed to spread stacks across multiple hosts, but:
+
+- **Kubernetes** felt like overkill. I don't need pods, ingress controllers, or 10x more YAML.
+- **Docker Swarm** is basically in maintenance mode.
+- Both require rewriting my compose files.
+
+So I built **Compose Farm**, a simple CLI that runs `docker compose` commands over SSH. No agents, no cluster setup, no changes to your existing compose files.
+
+## How it works
+
+One YAML file maps stacks to hosts:
+
+```yaml
+compose_dir: /opt/stacks
+
+hosts:
+  nuc: 192.168.1.10
+  hp: 192.168.1.11
+
+stacks:
+  plex: nuc
+  jellyfin: hp
+  grafana: nuc
+  nextcloud: nuc
+```
+
+Then just:
+
+```bash
+cf up plex        # runs on nuc via SSH
+cf apply          # makes config state match desired state on all hosts (like Terraform apply)
+cf up --all       # starts everything on their assigned hosts
+cf logs -f plex   # streams logs
+cf ps             # shows status across all hosts
+```
+
+## Auto-migration
+
+Change a stack's host in the config and run `cf up`. It stops the stack on the old host and starts it on the new one. No manual SSH needed.
+
+```yaml
+# Before
+plex: nuc
+
+# After (just change this)
+plex: hp
+```
+
+```bash
+cf up plex  # migrates automatically
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- SSH key auth to your hosts
+- Same paths on all hosts (I use NFS from my NAS)
+- That's it. No agents, no daemons.
+
+## What it doesn't do
+
+- No high availability (if a host goes down, stacks don't auto-migrate)
+- No overlay networking (containers on different hosts can't talk via Docker DNS)
+- No health checks or automatic restarts
+
+It's a convenience wrapper around `docker compose` + SSH. If you need failover or cross-host container networking, you probably do need Swarm or Kubernetes.

+# Traefik Integration
+
+Compose Farm can generate Traefik file-provider configuration for routing traffic across multiple hosts.
+
+## The Problem
+
+When you run Traefik on one host but stacks on others, Traefik's docker provider can't see remote containers. The file provider bridges this gap.

+
+## How It Works
+
+1. Your compose files have standard Traefik labels
+2. Compose Farm reads labels and generates file-provider config
+3. Traefik watches the generated file
+4. Traffic routes to remote stacks via host IP + published port
+
+## Setup
+
+### Step 1: Configure Traefik File Provider
+
+Add directory watching to your Traefik config:
+
+```yaml
+# traefik.yml or docker-compose.yml command
+providers:
+  file:
+    directory: /opt/traefik/dynamic.d
+    watch: true
+```
+
+Or via command line:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  traefik:
+    command:
+      - --providers.file.directory=/dynamic.d
+      - --providers.file.watch=true
+    volumes:
+      - /opt/traefik/dynamic.d:/dynamic.d:ro
+```
+
+### Step 2: Add Traefik Labels to Services
+
+Your compose files use standard Traefik labels:
+
+```yaml
+# /opt/compose/plex/docker-compose.yml
+services:
+  plex:
+    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/plex
+    ports:
+      - "32400:32400"  # IMPORTANT: Must publish port!
+    labels:
+      - traefik.enable=true
+      - traefik.http.routers.plex.rule=Host(`plex.example.com`)
+      - traefik.http.routers.plex.entrypoints=websecure
+      - traefik.http.routers.plex.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt
+      - traefik.http.services.plex.loadbalancer.server.port=32400
+```
+
+**Important:** Services must publish ports for cross-host routing. Traefik connects via `host_ip:published_port`.
+
+### Step 3: Generate File Provider Config
+
+```bash
+cf traefik-file --all -o /opt/traefik/dynamic.d/compose-farm.yml
+```
+
+This generates:
+
+```yaml
+# /opt/traefik/dynamic.d/compose-farm.yml
+http:
+  routers:
+    plex:
+      rule: Host(`plex.example.com`)
+      entryPoints:
+        - websecure
+      tls:
+        certResolver: letsencrypt
+      service: plex
+  services:
+    plex:
+      loadBalancer:
+        servers:
+          - url: http://192.168.1.11:32400
+```
+
+## Auto-Regeneration
+
+Configure automatic regeneration in `compose-farm.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+compose_dir: /opt/compose
+traefik_file: /opt/traefik/dynamic.d/compose-farm.yml
+traefik_stack: traefik
+
+hosts:
+  nuc:
+    address: 192.168.1.10
+  hp:
+    address: 192.168.1.11
+
+stacks:
+  traefik: nuc      # Traefik runs here
+  plex: hp          # Routed via file-provider
+  grafana: hp
+```
+
+With `traefik_file` set, these commands auto-regenerate the config:
+- `cf up`
+- `cf down`
+- `cf restart`
+- `cf update`
+- `cf apply`
+
+### traefik_stack Option
+
+When set, stacks on the **same host as Traefik** are skipped in file-provider output. Traefik's docker provider handles them directly.
+
+```yaml
+traefik_stack: traefik  # traefik runs on nuc
+stacks:
+  traefik: nuc            # NOT in file-provider (docker provider)
+  portainer: nuc          # NOT in file-provider (docker provider)
+  plex: hp                # IN file-provider (cross-host)
+```
+
+## Label Syntax
+
+### Routers
+
+```yaml
+labels:
+  # Basic router
+  - traefik.http.routers.myapp.rule=Host(`app.example.com`)
+  - traefik.http.routers.myapp.entrypoints=websecure
+
+  # With TLS
+  - traefik.http.routers.myapp.tls=true
+  - traefik.http.routers.myapp.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt
+
+  # With middleware
+  - traefik.http.routers.myapp.middlewares=auth@file
+```
+
+### Services
+
+```yaml
+labels:
+  # Load balancer port
+  - traefik.http.services.myapp.loadbalancer.server.port=8080
+
+  # Health check
+  - traefik.http.services.myapp.loadbalancer.healthcheck.path=/health
+```
+
+### Middlewares
+
+Middlewares should be defined in a separate file (not generated by Compose Farm):
+
+```yaml
+# /opt/traefik/dynamic.d/middlewares.yml
+http:
+  middlewares:
+    auth:
+      basicAuth:
+        users:
+          - "user:$apr1$..."
+```
+
+Reference in labels:
+
+```yaml
+labels:
+  - traefik.http.routers.myapp.middlewares=auth@file
+```
+
+## Variable Substitution
+
+Labels can use environment variables:
+
+```yaml
+labels:
+  - traefik.http.routers.myapp.rule=Host(`${DOMAIN}`)
+```
+
+Compose Farm resolves variables from:
+1. Stack's `.env` file
+2. Current environment
+
+```bash
+# /opt/compose/myapp/.env
+DOMAIN=app.example.com
+```
+
+## Port Resolution
+
+Compose Farm determines the target URL from published ports:
+
+```yaml
+ports:
+  - "8080:80"           # Uses 8080
+  - "192.168.1.11:8080:80"  # Uses 8080 on specific IP
+```
+
+If no suitable port is found, a warning is shown.
+
+## Complete Example
+
+### compose-farm.yaml
+
+```yaml
+compose_dir: /opt/compose
+traefik_file: /opt/traefik/dynamic.d/compose-farm.yml
+traefik_stack: traefik
+
+hosts:
+  nuc:
+    address: 192.168.1.10
+  hp:
+    address: 192.168.1.11
+  nas:
+    address: 192.168.1.100
+
+stacks:
+  traefik: nuc
+  plex: hp
+  jellyfin: nas
+  grafana: nuc
+  nextcloud: nuc
+```
+
+### /opt/compose/plex/docker-compose.yml
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  plex:
+    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/plex
+    container_name: plex
+    ports:
+      - "32400:32400"
+    labels:
+      - traefik.enable=true
+      - traefik.http.routers.plex.rule=Host(`plex.example.com`)
+      - traefik.http.routers.plex.entrypoints=websecure
+      - traefik.http.routers.plex.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt
+      - traefik.http.services.plex.loadbalancer.server.port=32400
+    # ... other config
+```
+
+### Generated compose-farm.yml
+
+```yaml
+http:
+  routers:
+    plex:
+      rule: Host(`plex.example.com`)
+      entryPoints:
+        - websecure
+      tls:
+        certResolver: letsencrypt
+      service: plex
+    jellyfin:
+      rule: Host(`jellyfin.example.com`)
+      entryPoints:
+        - websecure
+      tls:
+        certResolver: letsencrypt
+      service: jellyfin
+
+  services:
+    plex:
+      loadBalancer:
+        servers:
+          - url: http://192.168.1.11:32400
+    jellyfin:
+      loadBalancer:
+        servers:
+          - url: http://192.168.1.100:8096
+```
+
+Note: `grafana` and `nextcloud` are NOT in the file because they're on the same host as Traefik (`nuc`).
+
+## Combining with Existing Config
+
+If you have existing Traefik dynamic config:
+
+```bash
+# Move existing config to directory
+mkdir -p /opt/traefik/dynamic.d
+mv /opt/traefik/dynamic.yml /opt/traefik/dynamic.d/manual.yml
+
+# Generate Compose Farm config
+cf traefik-file --all -o /opt/traefik/dynamic.d/compose-farm.yml
+
+# Update Traefik to watch directory
+# --providers.file.directory=/dynamic.d
+```
+
+Traefik merges all YAML files in the directory.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Stack Not Accessible
+
+1. **Check port is published:**
+   ```yaml
+   ports:
+     - "8080:80"  # Must be published, not just exposed
+   ```
+
+2. **Check label syntax:**
+   ```bash
+   cf check mystack
+   ```
+
+3. **Verify generated config:**
+   ```bash
+   cf traefik-file mystack
+   ```
+
+4. **Check Traefik logs:**
+   ```bash
+   docker logs traefik
+   ```
+
+### Config Not Regenerating
+
+1. **Verify traefik_file is set:**
+   ```bash
+   cf config show | grep traefik
+   ```
+
+2. **Check file permissions:**
+   ```bash
+   ls -la /opt/traefik/dynamic.d/
+   ```
+
+3. **Manually regenerate:**
+   ```bash
+   cf traefik-file --all -o /opt/traefik/dynamic.d/compose-farm.yml
+   ```
+
+### Variable Not Resolved
+
+1. **Check .env file exists:**
+   ```bash
+   cat /opt/compose/myservice/.env
+   ```
+
+2. **Test variable resolution:**
+   ```bash
+   cd /opt/compose/myservice
+   docker compose config
+   ```
