```

## Manual Steps

1. **Create Project on Railway**
   - Go to https://railway.app/dashboard
   - Click "New Project" → "Deploy from GitHub"
   - Select your `aethex.live` repository

2. **Add Environment Variables**
   - Project Settings → Variables
   - Add: `NEXT_PUBLIC_STREAM_URL=your-hls-url.m3u8`
   - Save

3. **Wait for Deployment**
   - Railway auto-builds and deploys
   - Check Deployments tab for status
   - Live URL appears when ready

4. **Add Custom Domain**
   - Settings → Domains

## Environment Variables Needed

**Required:**
```
NEXT_PUBLIC_STREAM_URL=your-hls-stream-url.m3u8
```

**Optional (backend features):**
```
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://...       # if using database
NEXTAUTH_URL=https://aethex.live   # if using auth
NEXTAUTH_SECRET=random-secret-key   # if using auth
```

## Test Your Deployment

```bash
# Via Railway CLI
railway open

# Or visit the URL provided in Railway Dashboard
```

## Troubleshooting

| Issue | Fix |
|-------|-----|
| Build fails | Check build logs in Railway dashboard |
| Stream won't load | Verify `NEXT_PUBLIC_STREAM_URL` is set |
| Domain not working | Wait 24hrs for DNS, check CNAME record |
| App keeps crashing | View logs, check if PORT=3000 is used |
