## 🚀 Next Steps
### Option 1: Docker (Recommended - No Local Setup Required!)
```bash
cd docs
# Development with hot reload
make docker-dev
# OR: docker-compose --profile dev up
# Visit: http://localhost:3000/mcp-adr-analysis-server/
```
**Production testing:**
```bash
make docker-prod
# Visit: http://localhost:8080/mcp-adr-analysis-server/
```
### Option 2: Local Development
**1. Install Dependencies**
```bash
cd docs
npm install
# OR: ./setup-docusaurus.sh
```
**2. Test Locally**
```bash
npm run start
# OR: make dev
```
Visit: http://localhost:3000/mcp-adr-analysis-server/
**3. Verify Build**
```bash
npm run build
# OR: make build
```
Should create `build/` directory without errors.
### 3. Deploy
**Option A: Automatic (Recommended)**
- Push to `main` branch
- GitHub Actions will deploy automatically
**Option B: Manual**
```bash
npm run deploy
```
### 5. Configure GitHub Pages
1. Go to repository Settings → Pages
2. Source: GitHub Actions
3. Wait for deployment
4. Visit: https://tosin2013.github.io/mcp-adr-analysis-server/

## ⚠️ Important Notes
### Breaking Changes
1. **Build Output:** Changed from `.vitepress/dist/` to `build/`
2. **Dev Server:** Changed from `vitepress dev` to `docusaurus start`
3. **Type:** Removed `"type": "module"` from package.json (Docusaurus uses CommonJS config)
4. **Dependencies:** Completely different dependency tree
### Preserved
- ✅ All existing documentation files (unchanged)
- ✅ Diataxis framework structure
- ✅ Navigation organization
- ✅ GitHub Pages deployment URL
- ✅ Edit links to GitHub
- ✅ Mermaid diagram support
### Migration Path
- VitePress files can remain temporarily
- Old workflow: `.github/workflows/deploy-docs.yml` (if exists)
- New workflow: `.github/workflows/deploy-docusaurus.yml`
- Consider removing VitePress after successful deployment
