Fix ActivityFeed hydration error: Move localStorage read to useEffect to prevent server/client mismatch

- Improve localStorage access in ActivityFeed, ChatWidget, and AdminPage with try-catch blocks to handle potential errors gracefully.
- Update performance tracking in AnalyticsProvider and analytics.ts to ensure robust error handling and prevent failures from affecting user experience.
- Refactor Web Vitals tracking to include error handling for observer initialization and data collection.
- Ensure consistent handling of hydration mismatches in components like BackgroundBlobs and ChatWidget to improve rendering reliability.

+# Git Hooks
+
+This directory contains Git hooks for the Portfolio project.
+
+## Pre-Push Hook
+
+The pre-push hook runs automatically before every `git push` and performs the following checks:
+
+### Checks Performed:
+1. **Node.js Version Check** - Ensures Node.js 20+ is installed
+2. **Dependency Installation** - Installs npm dependencies if needed
+3. **Linting** - Runs ESLint to check code quality
+4. **Tests** - Runs Jest test suite
+5. **Build** - Builds the Next.js application
+6. **Security Audit** - Runs npm audit for vulnerabilities
+7. **Secret Detection** - Checks for accidentally committed secrets
+8. **Docker Configuration** - Validates Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml
+9. **Production Checks** - Additional checks when pushing to production branch
+
+### Production Branch Special Checks:
+- Environment file validation
+- Docker build test
+- Deployment readiness check
+
+### Usage:
+
+The hook runs automatically on every push. To manually test it:
+
+```bash
+# Test the hook manually
+.githooks/pre-push
+
+# Or push to trigger it
+git push origin main
+```
+
+### Bypassing the Hook:
+
+If you need to bypass the hook in an emergency:
+
+```bash
+git push --no-verify origin main
+```
+
+**Note**: Only bypass in emergencies. The hook prevents broken code from being pushed.
+
+### Troubleshooting:
+
+If the hook fails:
+
+1. **Fix the reported issues** (linting errors, test failures, etc.)
+2. **Run the checks manually** to debug:
+   ```bash
+   npm run lint
+   npm run test
+   npm run build
+   npm audit
+   ```
+3. **Check Node.js version**: `node --version` (should be 20+)
+4. **Reinstall dependencies**: `rm -rf node_modules && npm ci`
+
+### Configuration:
+
+The hook is configured in `.git/config`:
+```
+[core]
+    hooksPath = .githooks
+```
+
+To disable hooks temporarily:
+```bash
+git config core.hooksPath ""
+```
+
+To re-enable:
+```bash
+git config core.hooksPath .githooks
+```

+# 🚀 Deployment Setup Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+This project uses a **dual-branch deployment strategy** with zero-downtime deployments:
+
+- **Production Branch** (`production`) → Serves `https://dk0.dev` on port 3000
+- **Dev Branch** (`dev`) → Serves `https://dev.dk0.dev` on port 3002
+
+Both environments are completely isolated with separate:
+- Docker containers
+- Databases (PostgreSQL)
+- Redis instances
+- Networks
+- Volumes
+
+## Branch Strategy
+
+### Production Branch
+- **Branch**: `production`
+- **Domain**: `https://dk0.dev`
+- **Port**: `3000`
+- **Container**: `portfolio-app`
+- **Database**: `portfolio_db` (port 5432)
+- **Redis**: `portfolio-redis` (port 6379)
+- **Image Tag**: `portfolio-app:production` / `portfolio-app:latest`
+
+### Dev Branch
+- **Branch**: `dev`
+- **Domain**: `https://dev.dk0.dev`
+- **Port**: `3002`
+- **Container**: `portfolio-app-staging`
+- **Database**: `portfolio_staging_db` (port 5434)
+- **Redis**: `portfolio-redis-staging` (port 6381)
+- **Image Tag**: `portfolio-app:staging`
+
+## Automatic Deployment
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. **Push to `production` branch**:
+   - Triggers `.gitea/workflows/production-deploy.yml`
+   - Runs tests, builds, and deploys to production
+   - Zero-downtime deployment (starts new container, waits for health, removes old)
+
+2. **Push to `dev` branch**:
+   - Triggers `.gitea/workflows/dev-deploy.yml`
+   - Runs tests, builds, and deploys to dev/staging
+   - Zero-downtime deployment
+
+### Zero-Downtime Process
+
+1. Build new Docker image
+2. Start new container with updated image
+3. Wait for new container to be healthy (health checks)
+4. Verify HTTP endpoints respond correctly
+5. Remove old container (if different)
+6. Cleanup old images
+
+## Manual Deployment
+
+### Production
+```bash
+# Build and deploy production
+docker build -t portfolio-app:latest .
+docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml up -d --build
+```
+
+### Dev/Staging
+```bash
+# Build and deploy dev
+docker build -t portfolio-app:staging .
+docker compose -f docker-compose.staging.yml up -d --build
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+### Required Gitea Variables
+- `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` - Base URL for the application
+- `MY_EMAIL` - Email address for contact
+- `MY_INFO_EMAIL` - Info email address
+- `LOG_LEVEL` - Logging level (info/debug)
+
+### Required Gitea Secrets
+- `MY_PASSWORD` - Email password
+- `MY_INFO_PASSWORD` - Info email password
+- `ADMIN_BASIC_AUTH` - Admin basic auth credentials
+- `N8N_SECRET_TOKEN` - Optional: n8n webhook secret
+
+### Optional Variables
+- `N8N_WEBHOOK_URL` - n8n webhook URL for automation
+
+## Health Checks
+
+Both environments have health check endpoints:
+- Production: `http://localhost:3000/api/health`
+- Dev: `http://localhost:3002/api/health`
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### Check Container Status
+```bash
+# Production
+docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml ps
+
+# Dev
+docker compose -f docker-compose.staging.yml ps
+```
+
+### View Logs
+```bash
+# Production
+docker logs portfolio-app --tail=100 -f
+
+# Dev
+docker logs portfolio-app-staging --tail=100 -f
+```
+
+### Health Check
+```bash
+# Production
+curl http://localhost:3000/api/health
+
+# Dev
+curl http://localhost:3002/api/health
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Container Won't Start
+1. Check logs: `docker logs <container-name>`
+2. Verify environment variables are set
+3. Check database/redis connectivity
+4. Verify ports aren't already in use
+
+### Deployment Fails
+1. Check Gitea Actions logs
+2. Verify all required secrets/variables are set
+3. Check if old containers are blocking ports
+4. Verify Docker image builds successfully
+
+### Zero-Downtime Issues
+- Old container might still be running - check with `docker ps`
+- Health checks might be failing - check container logs
+- Port conflicts - verify ports 3000 and 3002 are available
+
+## Rollback
+
+If a deployment fails or causes issues:
+
+```bash
+# Production rollback
+docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml down
+docker tag portfolio-app:previous portfolio-app:latest
+docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml up -d
+
+# Dev rollback
+docker compose -f docker-compose.staging.yml down
+docker tag portfolio-app:staging-previous portfolio-app:staging
+docker compose -f docker-compose.staging.yml up -d
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Always test on dev branch first** before pushing to production
+2. **Monitor health checks** after deployment
+3. **Keep old images** for quick rollback (last 3 versions)
+4. **Use feature flags** for new features
+5. **Document breaking changes** before deploying
+6. **Run tests locally** before pushing
+
+## Network Configuration
+
+- **Production Network**: `portfolio_net` + `proxy` (external)
+- **Dev Network**: `portfolio_staging_net`
+- **Isolation**: Complete separation ensures no interference
+
+## Database Management
+
+### Production Database
+- **Container**: `portfolio-postgres`
+- **Port**: `5432` (internal only)
+- **Database**: `portfolio_db`
+- **User**: `portfolio_user`
+
+### Dev Database
+- **Container**: `portfolio-postgres-staging`
+- **Port**: `5434` (external), `5432` (internal)
+- **Database**: `portfolio_staging_db`
+- **User**: `portfolio_user`
+
+## Redis Configuration
+
+### Production Redis
+- **Container**: `portfolio-redis`
+- **Port**: `6379` (internal only)
+
+### Dev Redis
+- **Container**: `portfolio-redis-staging`
+- **Port**: `6381` (external), `6379` (internal)

-# Gitea Secrets Setup
-
-Um die GitHub Actions Workflows korrekt zu verwenden, müssen die folgenden Secrets in deinem Gitea Repository konfiguriert werden:
-
-## Secrets konfigurieren
-
-1. Gehe zu deinem Repository in Gitea
-2. Klicke auf **Settings** → **Secrets**
-3. Füge die folgenden Secrets hinzu:
-
-### Erforderliche Secrets:
-
-| Secret Name | Beschreibung | Beispiel |
-|-------------|--------------|----------|
-| `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` | Die öffentliche URL deiner Website | `https://dk0.dev` |
-| `MY_EMAIL` | Haupt-Email-Adresse für Kontaktformular | `contact@dk0.dev` |
-| `MY_INFO_EMAIL` | Info-Email-Adresse | `info@dk0.dev` |
-| `MY_PASSWORD` | Passwort für Haupt-Email | `dein_email_passwort` |
-| `MY_INFO_PASSWORD` | Passwort für Info-Email | `dein_info_email_passwort` |
-| `ADMIN_BASIC_AUTH` | Admin-Basic-Auth für geschützte Bereiche | `admin:dein_sicheres_passwort` |
-
-## Docker Compose Setup
-
-Die Workflows verwenden jetzt `docker-compose.workflow.yml` für eine vollständige Service-Konfiguration:
-
-- **PostgreSQL**: Datenbank für die Anwendung
-- **Redis**: Caching und Session-Management  
-- **Portfolio App**: Die Hauptanwendung
-
-## Netzwerk-Konfiguration
-
-Die Services sind im `portfolio_net` Netzwerk konfiguriert, damit sie miteinander kommunizieren können.
-
-## Health Checks
-
-Alle Services haben Health Checks konfiguriert:
-- PostgreSQL: `pg_isready`
-- Redis: `redis-cli ping`
-- Portfolio App: HTTP Health Check auf `/api/health`
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-Falls die Workflows fehlschlagen:
-
-1. **Secrets prüfen**: Stelle sicher, dass alle Secrets korrekt konfiguriert sind
-2. **Netzwerk prüfen**: Überprüfe, ob das `portfolio_net` Netzwerk existiert
-3. **Ports prüfen**: Stelle sicher, dass Port 3000 frei ist
-4. **Logs prüfen**: Schaue in die Container-Logs für Fehlermeldungen
-
-```bash
-# Container-Logs anzeigen
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.workflow.yml logs
-
-# Services-Status prüfen
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.workflow.yml ps
-```

+# 🔧 Gitea Variables & Secrets Setup Guide
+
+## Übersicht
+
+In Gitea kannst du **Variables** (öffentlich) und **Secrets** (verschlüsselt) für dein Repository setzen. Diese werden in den CI/CD Workflows verwendet.
+
+## 📍 Wo findest du die Einstellungen?
+
+1. Gehe zu deinem Repository auf Gitea
+2. Klicke auf **Settings** (Einstellungen)
+3. Klicke auf **Variables** oder **Secrets** im linken Menü
+
+## 🔑 Variablen für Production Branch
+
+Für den `production` Branch brauchst du:
+
+### Variables (öffentlich sichtbar):
+- `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` = `https://dk0.dev`
+- `MY_EMAIL` = `contact@dk0.dev` (oder deine Email)
+- `MY_INFO_EMAIL` = `info@dk0.dev` (oder deine Info-Email)
+- `LOG_LEVEL` = `info`
+- `N8N_WEBHOOK_URL` = `https://n8n.dk0.dev` (optional)
+
+### Secrets (verschlüsselt):
+- `MY_PASSWORD` = Dein Email-Passwort
+- `MY_INFO_PASSWORD` = Dein Info-Email-Passwort
+- `ADMIN_BASIC_AUTH` = `admin:dein_sicheres_passwort`
+- `N8N_SECRET_TOKEN` = Dein n8n Secret Token (optional)
+
+## 🧪 Variablen für Dev Branch
+
+Für den `dev` Branch brauchst du die **gleichen** Variablen, aber mit anderen Werten:
+
+### Variables:
+- `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` = `https://dev.dk0.dev` ⚠️ **WICHTIG: Andere URL!**
+- `MY_EMAIL` = `contact@dk0.dev` (kann gleich sein)
+- `MY_INFO_EMAIL` = `info@dk0.dev` (kann gleich sein)
+- `LOG_LEVEL` = `debug` (für Dev mehr Logging)
+- `N8N_WEBHOOK_URL` = `https://n8n.dk0.dev` (optional)
+
+### Secrets:
+- `MY_PASSWORD` = Dein Email-Passwort (kann gleich sein)
+- `MY_INFO_PASSWORD` = Dein Info-Email-Passwort (kann gleich sein)
+- `ADMIN_BASIC_AUTH` = `admin:staging_password` (kann anders sein)
+- `N8N_SECRET_TOKEN` = Dein n8n Secret Token (optional)
+
+## ✅ Lösung: Automatische Branch-Erkennung
+
+**Gitea unterstützt keine branch-spezifischen Variablen, aber die Workflows erkennen automatisch den Branch!**
+
+### Wie es funktioniert:
+
+Die Workflows triggern auf unterschiedlichen Branches und verwenden automatisch die richtigen Defaults:
+
+**Production Workflow** (`.gitea/workflows/production-deploy.yml`):
+- Triggert nur auf `production` Branch
+- Verwendet: `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` (wenn gesetzt) oder Default: `https://dk0.dev`
+
+**Dev Workflow** (`.gitea/workflows/dev-deploy.yml`):
+- Triggert nur auf `dev` Branch  
+- Verwendet: `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` (wenn gesetzt) oder Default: `https://dev.dk0.dev`
+
+**Das bedeutet:**
+- Du setzt **eine** Variable `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` in Gitea
+- **Production Branch** → verwendet diese Variable (oder Default `https://dk0.dev`)
+- **Dev Branch** → verwendet diese Variable (oder Default `https://dev.dk0.dev`)
+
+### ⚠️ WICHTIG:
+
+Da beide Workflows die **gleiche Variable** verwenden, aber unterschiedliche Defaults haben:
+
+**Option 1: Variable NICHT setzen (Empfohlen)**
+- Production verwendet automatisch: `https://dk0.dev`
+- Dev verwendet automatisch: `https://dev.dk0.dev`
+- ✅ Funktioniert perfekt ohne Konfiguration!
+
+**Option 2: Variable setzen**
+- Wenn du `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` = `https://dk0.dev` setzt
+- Dann verwendet **beide** Branches diese URL (nicht ideal für Dev)
+- ⚠️ Nicht empfohlen, da Dev dann die Production-URL verwendet
+
+## ✅ Empfohlene Konfiguration
+
+### ⭐ Einfachste Lösung: NICHTS setzen!
+
+Die Workflows haben bereits die richtigen Defaults:
+- **Production Branch** → automatisch `https://dk0.dev`
+- **Dev Branch** → automatisch `https://dev.dk0.dev`
+
+Du musst **NICHTS** in Gitea setzen, es funktioniert automatisch!
+
+### Wenn du Variablen setzen willst:
+
+**Nur diese Variablen setzen (für beide Branches):**
+- `MY_EMAIL` = `contact@dk0.dev`
+- `MY_INFO_EMAIL` = `info@dk0.dev`
+- `LOG_LEVEL` = `info` (wird für Production verwendet, Dev überschreibt mit `debug`)
+
+**Secrets (für beide Branches):**
+- `MY_PASSWORD` = Dein Email-Passwort
+- `MY_INFO_PASSWORD` = Dein Info-Email-Passwort
+- `ADMIN_BASIC_AUTH` = `admin:dein_passwort`
+- `N8N_SECRET_TOKEN` = Dein n8n Token (optional)
+
+**⚠️ NICHT setzen:**
+- `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` - Lass diese Variable leer, damit jeder Branch seinen eigenen Default verwendet!
+
+## 📝 Schritt-für-Schritt Anleitung
+
+### 1. Gehe zu Repository Settings
+```
+https://git.dk0.dev/denshooter/portfolio/settings
+```
+
+### 2. Klicke auf "Variables" oder "Secrets"
+
+### 3. Für Variables (öffentlich):
+- Klicke auf **"New Variable"**
+- **Name:** `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL`
+- **Value:** `https://dk0.dev` (für Production)
+- **Protect:** ✅ (optional, schützt vor Änderungen)
+- Klicke **"Add Variable"**
+
+### 4. Für Secrets (verschlüsselt):
+- Klicke auf **"New Secret"**
+- **Name:** `MY_PASSWORD`
+- **Value:** Dein Passwort
+- Klicke **"Add Secret"**
+
+## 🔄 Aktuelle Workflow-Logik
+
+Die Workflows verwenden diese einfache Logik:
+
+```yaml
+# Production Workflow (triggert nur auf production branch)
+NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL: ${{ vars.NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL || 'https://dk0.dev' }}
+
+# Dev Workflow (triggert nur auf dev branch)
+NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL: ${{ vars.NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL || 'https://dev.dk0.dev' }}
+```
+
+**Das bedeutet:**
+- Jeder Workflow hat seinen **eigenen Default**
+- Wenn `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` in Gitea gesetzt ist, wird diese verwendet
+- Wenn **nicht** gesetzt, verwendet jeder Branch seinen eigenen Default
+
+**⭐ Beste Lösung:**
+- **NICHT** `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` in Gitea setzen
+- Dann verwendet Production automatisch `https://dk0.dev`
+- Und Dev verwendet automatisch `https://dev.dk0.dev`
+- ✅ Perfekt getrennt, ohne Konfiguration!
+
+## 🎯 Best Practice
+
+1. **Production:** Setze alle Variablen explizit in Gitea
+2. **Dev:** Nutze die Defaults im Workflow (oder setze separate Variablen)
+3. **Secrets:** Immer in Gitea Secrets setzen, nie in Code!
+
+## 🔍 Prüfen ob Variablen gesetzt sind
+
+In den Workflow-Logs siehst du:
+```
+📝 Using Gitea Variables and Secrets:
+  - NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL: https://dk0.dev
+```
+
+Wenn eine Variable fehlt, wird der Default verwendet.
+
+## ⚙️ Alternative: Environment-spezifische Variablen
+
+Falls du separate Variablen für Dev und Production willst, können wir die Workflows anpassen:
+
+```yaml
+# Production
+NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL: ${{ vars.NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL_PRODUCTION || 'https://dk0.dev' }}
+
+# Dev  
+NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL: ${{ vars.NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL_DEV || 'https://dev.dk0.dev' }}
+```
+
+Dann könntest du setzen:
+- `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL_PRODUCTION` = `https://dk0.dev`
+- `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL_DEV` = `https://dev.dk0.dev`
+
+Soll ich die Workflows entsprechend anpassen?

+# 🔧 Nginx Proxy Manager Setup Guide
+
+## Übersicht
+
+Dieses Projekt nutzt **Nginx Proxy Manager** als Reverse Proxy. Die Container sind im `proxy` Netzwerk, damit Nginx Proxy Manager auf sie zugreifen kann.
+
+## 🐳 Docker Netzwerk-Konfiguration
+
+Die Container sind bereits im `proxy` Netzwerk konfiguriert:
+
+**Production:**
+```yaml
+networks:
+  - portfolio_net
+  - proxy  # ✅ Bereits konfiguriert
+```
+
+**Staging:**
+```yaml
+networks:
+  - portfolio_staging_net
+  - proxy  # ✅ Bereits konfiguriert
+```
+
+## 📋 Nginx Proxy Manager Konfiguration
+
+### Production (dk0.dev)
+
+1. **Gehe zu Nginx Proxy Manager** → Hosts → Proxy Hosts → Add Proxy Host
+
+2. **Details Tab:**
+   - **Domain Names:** `dk0.dev`, `www.dk0.dev`
+   - **Scheme:** `http`
+   - **Forward Hostname/IP:** `portfolio-app` (Container-Name)

+   - **Cache Assets:** ✅ (optional)
+   - **Block Common Exploits:** ✅
+   - **Websockets Support:** ✅ (für Chat/Activity)
+
+3. **SSL Tab:**
+   - **SSL Certificate:** Request a new SSL Certificate
+   - **Force SSL:** ✅
+   - **HTTP/2 Support:** ✅
+   - **HSTS Enabled:** ✅
+
+4. **Advanced Tab:**
+   ```

+   proxy_set_header Connection "";
+   
+   # Timeouts
+   proxy_connect_timeout 60s;
+   proxy_send_timeout 60s;
+   proxy_read_timeout 60s;
+   ```
+
+### Staging (dev.dk0.dev)
+
+1. **Gehe zu Nginx Proxy Manager** → Hosts → Proxy Hosts → Add Proxy Host
+
+2. **Details Tab:**
+   - **Domain Names:** `dev.dk0.dev`
+   - **Scheme:** `http`
+   - **Forward Hostname/IP:** `portfolio-app-staging` (Container-Name)
+   - **Forward Port:** `3000` (interner Port im Container)
+   - **Cache Assets:** ❌ (für Dev besser deaktiviert)
+   - **Block Common Exploits:** ✅
+   - **Websockets Support:** ✅
+
+3. **SSL Tab:**
+   - **SSL Certificate:** Request a new SSL Certificate
+   - **Force SSL:** ✅
+   - **HTTP/2 Support:** ✅
+   - **HSTS Enabled:** ✅
+
+4. **Advanced Tab:**
+   ```
+   # Custom Nginx Configuration

+   
+   # Timeouts
+   proxy_connect_timeout 60s;
+   proxy_send_timeout 60s;
+   proxy_read_timeout 60s;
+   ```
+
+## 🔍 421 Misdirected Request - Lösung
+
+Der **421 Misdirected Request** Fehler tritt auf, wenn:
+
+1. **HTTP/2 Connection Reuse:** Nginx Proxy Manager versucht, eine HTTP/2-Verbindung wiederzuverwenden, aber der Host-Header stimmt nicht überein
+2. **Host-Header nicht richtig weitergegeben:** Der Container erhält den falschen Host-Header
+
+### Lösung 1: Advanced Tab Konfiguration (Wichtig!)
+
+Füge diese Zeilen im **Advanced Tab** von Nginx Proxy Manager hinzu:
+
+```nginx
+proxy_http_version 1.1;
+proxy_set_header Connection "";
+proxy_set_header Host $host;
+proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
+```
+
+### Lösung 2: Container-Namen verwenden
+
+Stelle sicher, dass du den **Container-Namen** (nicht IP) verwendest:
+- Production: `portfolio-app`
+- Staging: `portfolio-app-staging`
+
+### Lösung 3: Netzwerk prüfen
+
+Stelle sicher, dass beide Container im `proxy` Netzwerk sind:
+
+```bash
+# Prüfen
+docker network inspect proxy
+
+# Sollte enthalten:
+# - portfolio-app
+# - portfolio-app-staging
+```
+
+## ✅ Checkliste
+
+- [ ] Container sind im `proxy` Netzwerk
+- [ ] Nginx Proxy Manager nutzt Container-Namen (nicht IP)
+- [ ] Advanced Tab Konfiguration ist gesetzt
+- [ ] `proxy_http_version 1.1` ist gesetzt
+- [ ] `proxy_set_header Host $host` ist gesetzt
+- [ ] SSL-Zertifikat ist konfiguriert
+- [ ] Websockets Support ist aktiviert
+
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+### 421 Fehler weiterhin vorhanden?
+
+1. **Prüfe Container-Namen:**
+   ```bash
+   docker ps --format "table {{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}"
+   ```
+
+2. **Prüfe Netzwerk:**
+   ```bash
+   docker network inspect proxy | grep -A 5 portfolio
+   ```
+
+3. **Prüfe Nginx Proxy Manager Logs:**
+   - Gehe zu Nginx Proxy Manager → System Logs
+   - Suche nach "421" oder "misdirected"
+
+4. **Teste direkt:**
+   ```bash
+   # Vom Host aus
+   curl -H "Host: dk0.dev" http://portfolio-app:3000
+   
+   # Sollte funktionieren
+   ```
+
+5. **Deaktiviere HTTP/2 temporär:**
+   - In Nginx Proxy Manager → SSL Tab
+   - **HTTP/2 Support:** ❌
+   - Teste ob es funktioniert
+
+## 📝 Wichtige Hinweise
+
+- **Container-Namen sind wichtig:** Nutze `portfolio-app` nicht `localhost` oder IP
+- **Port:** Immer Port `3000` (interner Container-Port), nicht `3000:3000`
+- **Netzwerk:** Beide Container müssen im `proxy` Netzwerk sein
+- **HTTP/2:** Kann Probleme verursachen, wenn Advanced Config fehlt
+
+## 🔄 Nach Deployment
+
+Nach jedem Deployment:
+1. Prüfe ob Container läuft: `docker ps | grep portfolio`
+2. Prüfe ob Container im proxy-Netzwerk ist
+3. Teste die URL im Browser
+4. Prüfe Nginx Proxy Manager Logs bei Problemen

+## ⚠️ Pre-Flight Checklist
+
+Before even thinking about pushing to main, verify ALL of these:
+
+### 1. Code Quality ✅
+```bash
+# Run all checks
+npm run build          # Must pass with 0 errors
+npm run lint           # Must pass with 0 errors
+npx tsc --noEmit       # TypeScript must be clean
+npx prisma format      # Database schema must be valid
+```
+
+### 1b. Automated Testing ✅
+```bash
+# Run comprehensive test suite (RECOMMENDED)
+npm run test:all       # Runs all tests including E2E
+
+# Or run individually:
+npm run test           # Unit tests
+npm run test:critical  # Critical path E2E tests
+npm run test:hydration # Hydration tests
+npm run test:email     # Email API tests
+```
+
+### 2. Testing ✅
+```bash
+# Automated testing (RECOMMENDED)
+npm run test:all       # Runs all automated tests
+
+# Manual testing (if needed)
+npm run dev
+# Test these critical paths:
+# - Home page loads
+# - Projects page works
+# - Admin dashboard accessible
+# - API endpoints respond
+# - No console errors
+# - No hydration errors
+```
+
+### 3. Database Changes ✅
+```bash
+# If you changed the database schema:
+# 1. Create migration
+npx prisma migrate dev --name your_migration_name
+
+# 2. Test migration on a copy of production data
+# 3. Document migration steps
+# 4. Create rollback plan
+```
+
+### 4. Environment Variables ✅
+- [ ] All new env vars documented in `env.example`
+- [ ] No secrets committed to git
+- [ ] Production env vars are set on server
+- [ ] Optional features have fallbacks
+
+### 5. Breaking Changes ✅
+- [ ] Documented in CHANGELOG
+- [ ] Backward compatible OR migration plan exists
+- [ ] Team notified of changes
+
+---
+
+## 📋 Step-by-Step Push Process
+
+### Step 1: Ensure You're on Dev Branch
+```bash
+git checkout dev
+git pull origin dev  # Get latest changes
+```
+
+### Step 2: Final Verification
+```bash
+# Clean build
+rm -rf .next node_modules/.cache
+npm install
+npm run build
+
+# Should complete without errors
+```
+
+### Step 3: Review Your Changes
+```bash
+# See what you're about to push
+git log origin/main..dev --oneline
+git diff origin/main..dev
+
+# Review carefully:
+# - No accidental secrets
+# - No debug code
+# - No temporary files
+# - All changes are intentional
+```
+
+### Step 4: Create a Backup Branch (Safety Net)
+```bash
+# Create backup before merging
+git checkout -b backup-before-main-merge-$(date +%Y%m%d)
+git push origin backup-before-main-merge-$(date +%Y%m%d)
+git checkout dev
+```
+
+### Step 5: Merge Dev into Main (Local)
+```bash
+# Switch to main
+git checkout main
+git pull origin main  # Get latest main
+
+# Merge dev into main
+git merge dev --no-ff -m "Merge dev into main: [describe changes]"
+
+# If conflicts occur:
+# 1. Resolve conflicts carefully
+# 2. Test after resolving
+# 3. Don't force push if unsure
+```
+
+### Step 6: Test the Merged Code
+```bash
+# Build and test the merged code
+npm run build
+npm run dev
+
+# Test critical paths again
+# - Home page
+# - Projects
+# - Admin
+# - APIs
+```
+
+### Step 7: Push to Main (If Everything Looks Good)
+```bash
+# Push to remote main
+git push origin main
+
+# If you need to force push (DANGEROUS - only if necessary):
+# git push origin main --force-with-lease
+```
+
+### Step 8: Monitor Deployment
+```bash
+# Watch your deployment logs
+# Check for errors
+# Verify health endpoints
+# Test production site
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🛡️ Safety Strategies
+
+### Strategy 1: Feature Flags
+If you're adding new features, use feature flags:
+```typescript
+// In your code
+if (process.env.ENABLE_NEW_FEATURE === 'true') {
+  // New feature code
+}
+```
+
+### Strategy 2: Gradual Rollout
+- Deploy to staging first
+- Test thoroughly
+- Then deploy to production
+- Monitor closely
+
+### Strategy 3: Database Migrations
+```bash
+# Always test migrations first
+# 1. Backup production database
+# 2. Test migration on copy
+# 3. Create rollback script
+# 4. Run migration during low-traffic period
+```
+
+### Strategy 4: Rollback Plan
+Always have a rollback plan:
+```bash
+# If something breaks:
+git revert HEAD
+git push origin main
+
+# Or rollback to previous commit:
+git reset --hard <previous-commit-hash>
+git push origin main --force-with-lease
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🚨 Red Flags - DON'T PUSH IF:
+
+- ❌ Build fails
+- ❌ Tests fail
+- ❌ Linter errors
+- ❌ TypeScript errors
+- ❌ Database migration not tested
+- ❌ Breaking changes not documented
+- ❌ Secrets in code
+- ❌ Debug code left in
+- ❌ Console.logs everywhere
+- ❌ Untested features
+- ❌ No rollback plan
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Green Lights - SAFE TO PUSH IF:
+
+- ✅ All checks pass
+- ✅ Tested locally
+- ✅ Database migrations tested
+- ✅ No breaking changes (or documented)
+- ✅ Documentation updated
+- ✅ Team notified
+- ✅ Rollback plan exists
+- ✅ Feature flags for new features
+- ✅ Environment variables documented
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Pre-Push Checklist Template

+
+## 🔄 Alternative: Pull Request Workflow
+
+If you want extra safety, use PR workflow:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Push dev branch
+git push origin dev
+
+# 2. Create Pull Request on Git platform
+# - Review changes
+# - Get approval
+# - Run CI/CD checks
+
+# 3. Merge PR to main (platform handles it)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🆘 Emergency Rollback
+
+If production breaks after push:
+
+### Quick Rollback
+```bash
+# 1. Revert the merge commit
+git revert -m 1 <merge-commit-hash>
+git push origin main
+
+# 2. Or reset to previous state
+git reset --hard <previous-commit>
+git push origin main --force-with-lease
+```
+
+### Database Rollback
+```bash
+# If you ran migrations, roll them back:
+npx prisma migrate resolve --rolled-back <migration-name>
+
+# Or restore from backup
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📞 Need Help?
+
+If unsure:
+1. **Don't push** - better safe than sorry
+2. Test more thoroughly
+3. Ask for code review
+4. Use staging environment first
+5. Create a PR for review
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Best Practices
+
+1. **Always test locally first**
+2. **Use feature flags for new features**
+3. **Test database migrations on copies**
+4. **Document everything**
+5. **Have a rollback plan**
+6. **Monitor after deployment**
+7. **Deploy during low-traffic periods**
+8. **Keep main branch stable**
+
+---
+
+**Remember**: It's better to delay a push than to break production! 🛡️

-# Secrets Verification Guide
-
-## Wie du überprüfst, ob Secrets korrekt geladen werden
-
-### 1. **Debug-Workflow ausführen**
-
-Ich habe einen speziellen Debug-Workflow erstellt (`.gitea/workflows/debug-secrets.yml`):
-
-1. Gehe zu deinem Repository in Gitea
-2. Klicke auf **Actions** → **Debug Secrets**
-3. Klicke auf **Run workflow** → **Run workflow**
-4. Der Workflow wird dir zeigen:
-   - ✅ Welche Secrets gesetzt sind
-   - ❌ Welche Secrets fehlen
-   - 🔐 Ob die Formate korrekt sind
-
-### 2. **Secrets in Gitea überprüfen**
-
-**Manuell in Gitea:**
-1. Gehe zu **Settings** → **Secrets**
-2. Überprüfe, ob alle Secrets vorhanden sind:
-   - `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL`
-   - `MY_EMAIL`
-   - `MY_INFO_EMAIL`
-   - `MY_PASSWORD`
-   - `MY_INFO_PASSWORD`
-   - `ADMIN_BASIC_AUTH`
-
-### 3. **Workflow-Logs überprüfen**
-
-Nach dem Ausführen eines Workflows:
-
-1. Gehe zu **Actions** → **Workflow runs**
-2. Klicke auf den neuesten Run
-3. Schaue dir die Logs an, besonders:
-   - "Verify secrets before deployment"
-   - "Verify container environment"
-
-### 4. **Container direkt überprüfen**
-
-Falls der Container läuft, kannst du ihn direkt überprüfen:
-
-```bash
-# Container-Environment anzeigen
-docker exec portfolio-app env | grep -E "(NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL|MY_EMAIL|ADMIN_BASIC_AUTH)"
-
-# Container-Logs anzeigen
-docker logs portfolio-app
-
-# Services-Status prüfen
-docker-compose -f docker-compose.workflow.yml ps
-```
-
-### 5. **Häufige Probleme**
-
-**❌ Secret nicht gesetzt:**
-- Gehe zu Gitea → Settings → Secrets
-- Füge das fehlende Secret hinzu
-
-**❌ Falsches Format:**
-- `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL`: Muss mit `http://` oder `https://` beginnen
-- `MY_EMAIL`: Muss eine gültige Email-Adresse sein
-- `ADMIN_BASIC_AUTH`: Muss Format `username:password` haben
-
-**❌ Container kann nicht starten:**
-- Überprüfe die Docker-Logs
-- Stelle sicher, dass alle Services (PostgreSQL, Redis) laufen
-
-### 6. **Test-Schritte**
-
-1. **Führe den Debug-Workflow aus**
-2. **Überprüfe die Ausgabe**
-3. **Korrigiere fehlende/falsche Secrets**
-4. **Führe einen normalen Workflow aus**
-5. **Überprüfe die Container-Environment**
-
-### 7. **Erwartete Ausgabe**
-
-**Bei korrekten Secrets:**
-```
-✅ NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL: Set (length: 15)
-✅ MY_EMAIL: Set (length: 20)
-✅ MY_INFO_EMAIL: Set (length: 18)
-✅ MY_PASSWORD: Set (length: 12)
-✅ MY_INFO_PASSWORD: Set (length: 12)
-✅ ADMIN_BASIC_AUTH: Set (length: 15)
-```
-
-**Bei fehlenden Secrets:**
-```
-❌ NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL: Not set
-❌ MY_EMAIL: Not set
-```
-
-### 8. **Schnelltest**
-
-Führe diesen Befehl aus, um schnell zu testen:
-
-```bash
-# Debug-Workflow manuell ausführen
-curl -X POST "https://your-gitea-instance.com/api/v1/repos/your-username/portfolio/actions/workflows/debug-secrets.yml/dispatches" \
-  -H "Authorization: token YOUR_TOKEN" \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  -d '{"ref":"main"}'
-```

+# 🔒 Security Improvements
+
+## Implemented Security Features
+
+### 1. n8n API Endpoint Protection
+
+All n8n endpoints are now protected with:
+- **Authentication**: Admin authentication required for sensitive endpoints (`/api/n8n/generate-image`)
+- **Rate Limiting**: 
+  - `/api/n8n/generate-image`: 10 requests/minute
+  - `/api/n8n/chat`: 20 requests/minute
+  - `/api/n8n/status`: 30 requests/minute
+
+### 2. Email Obfuscation
+
+Email addresses can now be obfuscated to prevent automated scraping:
+
+```typescript
+import { createObfuscatedMailto } from '@/lib/email-obfuscate';
+import { ObfuscatedEmail } from '@/components/ObfuscatedEmail';
+
+// React component
+<ObfuscatedEmail email="contact@dk0.dev">Contact Me</ObfuscatedEmail>
+
+// HTML string
+const mailtoLink = createObfuscatedMailto('contact@dk0.dev', 'Email Me');
+```
+
+**How it works:**
+- Emails are base64 encoded in the HTML
+- JavaScript decodes them on click
+- Prevents simple regex-based email scrapers
+- Still functional for real users
+
+### 3. URL Obfuscation
+
+Sensitive URLs can be obfuscated:
+
+```typescript
+import { createObfuscatedLink } from '@/lib/email-obfuscate';
+
+const link = createObfuscatedLink('https://sensitive-url.com', 'Click Here');
+```
+
+### 4. Rate Limiting
+
+All API endpoints have rate limiting:
+- Prevents brute force attacks
+- Protects against DDoS
+- Configurable per endpoint
+
+## Code Obfuscation
+
+**Note**: Full code obfuscation for Next.js is **not recommended** because:
+
+1. **Next.js already minifies code** in production builds
+2. **Obfuscation breaks source maps** (harder to debug)
+3. **Performance impact** (slower execution)
+4. **Not effective** - determined attackers can still reverse engineer
+5. **Maintenance burden** - harder to debug issues
+
+**Better alternatives:**
+- ✅ Minification (already enabled in Next.js)
+- ✅ Environment variables for secrets
+- ✅ Server-side rendering (code not exposed)
+- ✅ API authentication
+- ✅ Rate limiting
+- ✅ Security headers
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### For Email Protection:
+1. Use obfuscated emails in public HTML
+2. Use contact forms instead of direct mailto links
+3. Monitor for spam patterns
+
+### For API Protection:
+1. Always require authentication for sensitive endpoints
+2. Use rate limiting
+3. Log suspicious activity
+4. Use HTTPS only
+5. Validate all inputs
+
+### For Webhook Protection:
+1. Use secret tokens (`N8N_SECRET_TOKEN`)
+2. Verify webhook signatures
+3. Rate limit webhook endpoints
+4. Monitor webhook usage
+
+## Implementation Status
+
+- ✅ n8n endpoints protected with auth + rate limiting
+- ✅ Email obfuscation utility created
+- ✅ URL obfuscation utility created
+- ✅ Rate limiting on all n8n endpoints
+- ⚠️ Email obfuscation not yet applied to pages (manual step)
+- ⚠️ Code obfuscation not implemented (not recommended)
+
+## Next Steps
+
+To apply email obfuscation to your pages:
+
+1. Import the utility:
+```typescript
+import { ObfuscatedEmail } from '@/lib/email-obfuscate';
+```
+
+2. Replace email links:
+```tsx
+// Before
+<a href="mailto:contact@dk0.dev">Contact</a>
+
+// After
+<ObfuscatedEmail email="contact@dk0.dev">Contact</ObfuscatedEmail>
+```
+
+3. For static HTML, use the string function:
+```typescript
+const html = createObfuscatedMailto('contact@dk0.dev', 'Email Me');
+```

+# 🚀 Staging Environment Setup
+
+## Overview
+
+You now have **two separate Docker stacks**:
+
+1. **Staging** - Deploys automatically on `dev` or `main` branch
+   - Port: `3002`
+   - Container: `portfolio-app-staging`
+   - Database: `portfolio_staging_db` (port 5433)
+   - Redis: `portfolio-redis-staging` (port 6380)
+   - URL: `https://staging.dk0.dev` (or `http://localhost:3002`)
+
+2. **Production** - Deploys automatically on `production` branch
+   - Port: `3000`
+   - Container: `portfolio-app`
+   - Database: `portfolio_db` (port 5432)
+   - Redis: `portfolio-redis` (port 6379)
+   - URL: `https://dk0.dev`
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Automatic Staging Deployment
+When you push to `dev` or `main` branch:
+1. ✅ Tests run
+2. ✅ Docker image is built and tagged as `staging`
+3. ✅ Staging stack deploys automatically
+4. ✅ Available on port 3002
+
+### Automatic Production Deployment
+When you merge to `production` branch:
+1. ✅ Tests run
+2. ✅ Docker image is built and tagged as `production`
+3. ✅ **Zero-downtime deployment** (blue-green)
+4. ✅ Health checks before switching
+5. ✅ Rollback if health check fails
+6. ✅ Available on port 3000
+
+## Safety Features
+
+### Production Deployment Safety
+- ✅ **Zero-downtime**: New container starts before old one stops
+- ✅ **Health checks**: Verifies new container is healthy before switching
+- ✅ **Automatic rollback**: If health check fails, old container stays running
+- ✅ **Separate networks**: Staging and production are completely isolated
+- ✅ **Different ports**: No port conflicts
+- ✅ **Separate databases**: Staging data doesn't affect production
+
+### Staging Deployment
+- ✅ **Non-blocking**: Staging can fail without affecting production
+- ✅ **Isolated**: Completely separate from production
+- ✅ **Safe to test**: Break staging without breaking production
+
+## Ports Used
+
+| Service | Staging | Production |
+|---------|---------|------------|
+| App | 3002 | 3000 |
+| PostgreSQL | 5434 | 5432 |
+| Redis | 6381 | 6379 |
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Development Flow
+```bash
+# 1. Work on dev branch
+git checkout dev
+# ... make changes ...
+
+# 2. Push to dev (triggers staging deployment)
+git push origin dev
+# → Staging deploys automatically on port 3002
+
+# 3. Test staging
+curl http://localhost:3002/api/health
+
+# 4. Merge to main (also triggers staging)
+git checkout main
+git merge dev
+git push origin main
+# → Staging updates automatically
+
+# 5. When ready, merge to production
+git checkout production
+git merge main
+git push origin production
+# → Production deploys with zero-downtime
+```
+
+## Manual Commands
+
+### Staging
+```bash
+# Start staging
+docker compose -f docker-compose.staging.yml up -d
+
+# Stop staging
+docker compose -f docker-compose.staging.yml down
+
+# View staging logs
+docker compose -f docker-compose.staging.yml logs -f
+
+# Check staging health
+curl http://localhost:3002/api/health
+```
+
+### Production
+```bash
+# Start production
+docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml up -d
+
+# Stop production
+docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml down
+
+# View production logs
+docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml logs -f
+
+# Check production health
+curl http://localhost:3000/api/health
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+### Staging
+- `NODE_ENV=staging`
+- `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL=https://staging.dk0.dev`
+- `LOG_LEVEL=debug` (more verbose logging)
+
+### Production
+- `NODE_ENV=production`
+- `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL=https://dk0.dev`
+- `LOG_LEVEL=info`
+
+## Database Separation
+
+- **Staging DB**: `portfolio_staging_db` (separate volume)
+- **Production DB**: `portfolio_db` (separate volume)
+- **No conflicts**: Staging can be reset without affecting production
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### Check Both Environments
+```bash
+# Staging
+curl http://localhost:3002/api/health
+
+# Production
+curl http://localhost:3000/api/health
+```
+
+### View Container Status
+```bash
+# All containers
+docker ps
+
+# Staging only
+docker ps | grep staging
+
+# Production only
+docker ps | grep -v staging
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Staging Not Deploying
+1. Check GitHub Actions workflow
+2. Verify branch is `dev` or `main`
+3. Check Docker logs: `docker compose -f docker-compose.staging.yml logs`
+
+### Production Deployment Issues
+1. Check health endpoint before deployment
+2. Verify old container is running
+3. Check logs: `docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml logs`
+4. Manual rollback: Restart old container if needed
+
+### Port Conflicts
+- Staging uses 3002, 5434, 6381
+- Production uses 3000, 5432, 6379
+- If conflicts occur, check what's using the ports:
+  ```bash
+  lsof -i :3002
+  lsof -i :3000
+  ```
+
+## Benefits
+
+✅ **Safe testing**: Test on staging without risk
+✅ **Zero-downtime**: Production updates don't interrupt service
+✅ **Isolation**: Staging and production are completely separate
+✅ **Automatic**: Deploys happen automatically on push
+✅ **Rollback**: Automatic rollback if deployment fails
+
+---
+
+**You're all set!** Push to `dev`/`main` for staging, merge to `production` for production deployment! 🚀

+- Timeline of test execution
+
+### Jest Coverage Report
+```bash
+npm run test:coverage
+```
+
+Generates coverage report in `coverage/` directory.
+
+## 🚨 Common Issues
+
+### Tests Fail Locally But Pass in CI
+- Check environment variables
+- Ensure database is set up
+- Check for port conflicts
+
+### Hydration Errors
+- Check for server/client mismatches
+- Ensure no conditional rendering based on `window`
+- Check for date/time differences
+
+### Email Tests Fail
+- Email service might not be configured
+- Check environment variables
+- Tests are designed to handle missing email service
+
+### Performance Tests Fail
+- Network might be slow
+- Adjust thresholds in test file
+- Check for heavy resources loading
+
+## 📝 Writing New Tests
+
+### E2E Test Example
+```typescript
+import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
+
+test('My new feature works', async ({ page }) => {
+  await page.goto('/my-page');
+  await expect(page.locator('h1')).toContainText('Expected Text');
+});
+```
+
+### Unit Test Example
+```typescript
+import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react';
+import MyComponent from './MyComponent';
+
+test('renders correctly', () => {
+  render(<MyComponent />);
+  expect(screen.getByText('Hello')).toBeInTheDocument();
+});
+```
+
+## 🎯 CI/CD Integration
+
+### GitHub Actions Example
+```yaml
+- name: Run tests
+  run: |
+    npm install
+    npm run test:all
+```
+
+### Pre-Push Hook
+Add to `.git/hooks/pre-push`:
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+npm run test:all
+```
