Key Changes to UNRAID-DEPLOYMENT.md

1. Marked as Primary Guide

Added header: "THE OFFICIAL SETUP GUIDE - START HERE"

2. Direct Docker Commands

All setup instructions use docker run instead of docker-compose:

# Example
docker run -d \
  --name encoderpro-dashboard-intel \
  --device=/dev/dri:/dev/dri \
  -e GPU_TYPE=intel \
  -p 5000:5000 \
  -v /mnt/user/movies:/movies \
  ...
  encoderpro-intel:latest dashboard

3. Comprehensive Coverage

Includes all content from archived guides:

• NVIDIA, Intel Arc, and CPU setup
• Directory permissions (UID 1000)
• Unraid template configuration
• Command line usage examples
• Scheduled processing (User Scripts)
• Troubleshooting (Permission denied, GPU not found, stuck files)
• Performance tuning guides
• Quick reference commands

---

Updated README.md

The main README.md now:

• Points to UNRAID-DEPLOYMENT.md as primary setup guide
• Includes quick example for Intel Arc
• Lists all documentation with descriptions
• Updated to version 3.2.0

---

Migration Path

If you were using old guides:

No Changes Required

Your existing deployment continues to work:

• Database is compatible
• Config files are compatible
• Docker images are unchanged
• File states are preserved

To Update Documentation

Simply use UNRAID-DEPLOYMENT.md going forward:

1. Same build commands
2. Same docker run commands
3. Same configuration
4. Same troubleshooting
