+# Dalidou Deployment
+
+## Purpose
+Deploy AtoCore on Dalidou as the canonical runtime and machine-memory host.
+
+## Model
+
+- Dalidou hosts the canonical AtoCore service.
+- OpenClaw on the T420 consumes AtoCore over network/Tailscale API.
+- `sources/vault` and `sources/drive` are read-only inputs by convention.
+- SQLite/Chroma machine state stays on Dalidou and is not treated as a sync peer.
+
+## Directory layout
+
+```text
+/srv/storage/atocore/
+  app/         # deployed repo checkout
+  data/
+    db/
+    chroma/
+    cache/
+    tmp/
+  sources/
+    vault/
+    drive/
+  logs/
+  backups/
+  run/
+```
+
+## Compose workflow
+
+The compose definition lives in:
+
+```text
+deploy/dalidou/docker-compose.yml
+```
+
+The Dalidou environment file should be copied to:
+
+```text
+deploy/dalidou/.env
+```
+
+starting from:
+
+```text
+deploy/dalidou/.env.example
+```
+
+## Deployment steps
+
+1. Place the repository under `/srv/storage/atocore/app`.
+2. Create the canonical directories listed above.
+3. Copy `deploy/dalidou/.env.example` to `deploy/dalidou/.env`.
+4. Adjust the source paths if your AtoVault/AtoDrive mirrors live elsewhere.
+5. Run:
+
+```bash
+cd /srv/storage/atocore/app/deploy/dalidou
+docker compose up -d --build
+```
+
+6. Validate:
+
+```bash
+curl http://127.0.0.1:8100/health
+curl http://127.0.0.1:8100/sources
+```

+- backup automation
+- restore/snapshot tooling
+- reverse proxy / TLS exposure
+- automated source ingestion job
+- OpenClaw client wiring
