+
+### 3. Configure Domain Settings
+

+
+### 4. Environment Variables
+

+
+### 5. Start the Build Process
+
+- Click on "Deploy" to start the build and deployment process
+- Monitor the build logs for any errors
+- Once complete, verify that your LearnHouse instance is accessible at your domain
+
+### 6. Verify Persistent Storage
+
+- After deployment, upload some content (course materials, organization logos, etc.)
+- Restart the service to confirm that uploaded files persist across restarts
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **File uploads not persisting**: Ensure the volume mount in `docker-compose-coolify.yml` points to `/app/api/content` which is where the application stores uploaded files.
+- **Database connection errors**: Verify the database credentials and connection string.
+- **UI rendering issues**: Check that all Next.js related environment variables are correctly set.
