+# AzerothCore RealmMaster - Pre-Built Images Configuration
+# ================================================================================
+# Use this minimal configuration file to deploy pre-built RealmMaster images
+# from Docker Hub. No local building required!
+#
+# Quick Start:
+# 1. Copy this file: cp .env.prebuilt .env
+# 2. Set your DOCKERHUB_USERNAME below
+# 3. Run: ./deploy.sh
+#
+# The pre-built images include 32 modules from the RealmMaster profile:
+# - Playerbots, Transmog, Solo LFG, Eluna, NPC Buffer, and 27 more
+# - See config/module-profiles/RealmMaster.json for full list
+# ================================================================================
+
+# =====================
+# REQUIRED: Docker Hub Configuration
+# =====================
+# Set this to your Docker Hub username where the images are published

+# - realmmaster: 32 modules (playerbots, transmog, solo-lfg, eluna, etc.) - Recommended
+# - suggested-modules: Alternative suggested module set
+# - all-modules: All supported modules
+# - playerbots-only: Just playerbots

+# CI/CD Documentation
+
+This document describes the continuous integration and deployment workflows configured for the AzerothCore RealmMaster project.
+
+## Build and Publish Workflow
+
+The `build-and-publish.yml` workflow automatically builds AzerothCore with your configured modules and publishes Docker images to Docker Hub.
+
+### Trigger Schedule
+
+- **Nightly builds**: Runs automatically at 2 AM UTC every day
+- **Manual trigger**: Can be triggered manually via GitHub Actions UI with optional force rebuild
+
+### What It Does
+
+1. **Checks out the repository** - Gets the RealmMaster project code
+2. **Sets up Git** - Configures git for module repository cloning
+3. **Sets up Docker Buildx** - Enables optimized Docker builds
+4. **Logs in to Docker Hub** - Authenticates for image publishing
+5. **Prepares the build environment**:
+   - Applies the **RealmMaster module profile** from `config/module-profiles/RealmMaster.json`
+   - Creates `.env` with the configured modules enabled (32 modules)
+   - Sets project name and configuration defaults
+6. **Caches build artifacts** to speed up subsequent builds:
+   - Go build cache (`.gocache`)
+   - Source repository (`local-storage/source`)
+7. **Sets up Python 3.11** - Required for module management scripts
+8. **Runs `./build.sh --yes`** - This is where the magic happens:
+   - **Step 1**: Sets up the AzerothCore source repository
+   - **Step 2**: Detects build requirements
+   - **Step 3**: Syncs module metadata
+   - **Step 4**: **Fetches all module repositories** - Automatically clones all 32 enabled module repos from GitHub
+   - **Step 5**: **Compiles AzerothCore** with all fetched modules integrated
+   - **Step 6**: Tags the compiled images
+9. **Tags images for Docker Hub** - Prepares `latest` and date-based tags
+10. **Pushes images to Docker Hub** - Publishes the built images
+11. **Generates a build summary** - Shows enabled modules and published images
+
+### Module Fetching Process
+
+The workflow **automatically fetches all module repositories** during the build. Here's how it works:
+
+- The `build.sh` script reads the enabled modules from `.env` (set by the RealmMaster profile)
+- For each enabled module, it clones the repository from GitHub (all modules are public repos)
+- Module repositories are cloned into the AzerothCore source tree under `modules/`
+- Examples of fetched repositories:
+  - `mod-playerbots` from https://github.com/mod-playerbots/mod-playerbots.git
+  - `mod-transmog` from https://github.com/azerothcore/mod-transmog.git
+  - `mod-solo-lfg` from https://github.com/azerothcore/mod-solo-lfg.git
+  - ...and 29 more
+
+**No manual module setup required!** The build process handles everything automatically.
+
+### Published Images
+
+The workflow publishes images with **profile-specific tags** so you know exactly which modules are included:
+
+**Profile-Tagged Images** (recommended):
+- `<dockerhub-username>/azerothcore-realmmaster:authserver-realmmaster-latest`
+- `<dockerhub-username>/azerothcore-realmmaster:authserver-realmmaster-YYYYMMDD`
+- `<dockerhub-username>/azerothcore-realmmaster:worldserver-realmmaster-latest`
+- `<dockerhub-username>/azerothcore-realmmaster:worldserver-realmmaster-YYYYMMDD`
+
+**Generic Tags** (backward compatibility, defaults to RealmMaster profile):
+- `<dockerhub-username>/azerothcore-realmmaster:authserver-latest`
+- `<dockerhub-username>/azerothcore-realmmaster:worldserver-latest`
+
+The profile name in the tag tells you which module set is included (e.g., `realmmaster`, `suggested-modules`, `all-modules`).
+
+## Required GitHub Secrets
+
+To enable the build and publish workflow, you must configure the following secrets in your GitHub repository:
+
+### Setting Up Secrets
+
+1. Go to your GitHub repository
+2. Click **Settings** → **Secrets and variables** → **Actions**
+3. Click **New repository secret**
+4. Add the following secrets:
+
+#### DOCKERHUB_USERNAME
+
+Your Docker Hub username.
+
+**Example**: `yourusername`
+
+#### DOCKERHUB_TOKEN
+
+A Docker Hub access token (recommended) or your Docker Hub password.
+
+**How to create a Docker Hub access token**:
+
+1. Log in to [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/)
+2. Click on your username in the top right → **Account Settings**
+3. Go to **Security** → **Personal Access Tokens** → **Generate New Token**
+4. Give it a description (e.g., "GitHub Actions")
+5. Set permissions: **Read & Write**
+6. Click **Generate**
+7. Copy the token (you won't be able to see it again)
+8. Add this token as the `DOCKERHUB_TOKEN` secret in GitHub
+
+## Module Configuration
+
+### Default Profile: RealmMaster
+
+The workflow uses the **RealmMaster** module profile by default, which includes 32 carefully selected modules:
+
+- MODULE_PLAYERBOTS - AI-controlled player characters
+- MODULE_TRANSMOG - Transmogrification system
+- MODULE_SOLO_LFG - Solo dungeon finder
+- MODULE_NPC_BUFFER - Buff NPC
+- MODULE_ELUNA - Lua scripting engine
+- MODULE_AIO - All-in-one interface
+- ...and 26 more modules
+
+See the full list in `config/module-profiles/RealmMaster.json`.
+
+### Customizing the Module Profile
+
+To use a different module profile in the CI/CD workflow:
+
+1. **Choose or create a profile** in `config/module-profiles/`:
+   - `RealmMaster.json` - Default (32 modules)
+   - `suggested-modules.json` - Alternative suggested set
+   - `playerbots-only.json` - Just playerbots
+   - `all-modules.json` - All supported modules
+   - Create your own JSON file
+
+2. **Edit the workflow** at `.github/workflows/build-and-publish.yml`:
+
+   ```yaml
+   # Change this line in the "Prepare build environment" step:
+   python3 scripts/python/apply_module_profile.py RealmMaster \
+
+   # To use a different profile:
+   python3 scripts/python/apply_module_profile.py suggested-modules \
+   ```
+
+3. **Update the build summary** (optional):
+   ```yaml
+   # Change this line in the "Build summary" step:
+   echo "- **Module Profile**: RealmMaster" >> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
+
+   # To:
+   echo "- **Module Profile**: suggested-modules" >> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
+   ```
+
+### Testing Module Profiles Locally
+
+You can test the module profile script locally before committing:
+
+```bash
+# List modules that will be enabled
+python3 scripts/python/apply_module_profile.py RealmMaster --list-modules
+
+# Apply a profile to create .env
+python3 scripts/python/apply_module_profile.py RealmMaster
+
+# Verify the result
+grep '^MODULE_.*=1' .env | wc -l
+```
+
+## Cache Strategy
+
+The workflow uses GitHub Actions cache to speed up builds:
+
+- **Go build cache**: Cached in `.gocache` directory
+- **Source repository**: Cached in `local-storage/source` directory
+
+This significantly reduces build times for subsequent runs.
+
+## Manual Workflow Trigger
+
+To manually trigger the workflow:
+
+1. Go to **Actions** tab in your GitHub repository
+2. Click on **Build and Publish** workflow
+3. Click **Run workflow**
+4. **Choose module profile** (default: RealmMaster):
+   - Enter profile name (e.g., `RealmMaster`, `suggested-modules`, `all-modules`, `playerbots-only`)
+   - Profile must exist in `config/module-profiles/`
+5. Optionally check **Force rebuild** to rebuild even if no changes detected
+6. Click **Run workflow**
+
+The workflow will build with the selected profile and tag images accordingly (e.g., `authserver-realmmaster-latest` for RealmMaster profile).
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build fails with "missing required command"
+
+The workflow runs on Ubuntu and has Docker and Python 3.11 pre-installed. If you see missing command errors, ensure the build script dependencies are available.
+
+### Authentication errors
+
+If you see Docker Hub authentication errors:
+
+- Verify `DOCKERHUB_USERNAME` and `DOCKERHUB_TOKEN` secrets are set correctly
+- Ensure the Docker Hub token has **Read & Write** permissions
+- Check that the token hasn't expired
+
+### Build timeout
+
+The workflow has a 120-minute timeout. If builds consistently exceed this:
+
+- Consider optimizing the build process
+- Check if all module sources are accessible
+- Review cache effectiveness
+
+## Using Pre-Built Images
+
+After images are published to Docker Hub, users can deploy RealmMaster **without building locally**!
+
+### For End Users
+
+See the complete guide at **[docs/PREBUILT_IMAGES.md](PREBUILT_IMAGES.md)** for step-by-step instructions.
+
+**Quick start for users**:
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/uprightbass360/AzerothCore-RealmMaster.git
+cd AzerothCore-RealmMaster
+
+# Use pre-built configuration
+cp .env.prebuilt .env
+
+# Edit .env and set DOCKERHUB_USERNAME=your-dockerhub-username
+
+# Deploy (no build required!)
+./deploy.sh
+```
+
+### For Developers
+
+To test the published images:
+
+```bash
+# Pull latest RealmMaster profile images
+docker pull <dockerhub-username>/azerothcore-realmmaster:authserver-realmmaster-latest
+docker pull <dockerhub-username>/azerothcore-realmmaster:worldserver-realmmaster-latest
+
+# Or pull specific date-tagged images
+docker pull <dockerhub-username>/azerothcore-realmmaster:authserver-realmmaster-20260109
+docker pull <dockerhub-username>/azerothcore-realmmaster:worldserver-realmmaster-20260109
+
+# Or use generic latest tags (defaults to RealmMaster profile)
+docker pull <dockerhub-username>/azerothcore-realmmaster:authserver-latest
+docker pull <dockerhub-username>/azerothcore-realmmaster:worldserver-latest
+```
+
+### Pre-Built Configuration File
+
+The `.env.prebuilt` template provides a minimal configuration that:
+- References Docker Hub images instead of local builds
+- Removes all build-related variables
+- Includes only runtime configuration
+- Is ready to use with minimal editing (just set DOCKERHUB_USERNAME)
+
+**Benefits of pre-built images**:
+- ✅ Skip 15-45 minute build time
+- ✅ No build dependencies required
+- ✅ Same 32 RealmMaster modules included
+- ✅ Automatic nightly updates available
+- ✅ Date-tagged versions for stability
+- ✅ Profile-tagged images for clear identification
+
+## Building Multiple Profiles
+
+You can build different module profiles by manually triggering the workflow:
+
+### Example: Build All Modules Profile
+
+1. Go to **Actions** → **Build and Publish**
+2. Click **Run workflow**
+3. Set **module_profile** to `all-modules`
+4. Click **Run workflow**
+
+This will create:
+- `authserver-all-modules-latest`
+- `authserver-all-modules-YYYYMMDD`
+- `worldserver-all-modules-latest`
+- `worldserver-all-modules-YYYYMMDD`
+
+### Creating Custom Profile Builds
+
+To build a custom profile:
+
+1. **Create profile JSON** in `config/module-profiles/my-custom-profile.json`:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "modules": [
+       "MODULE_PLAYERBOTS",
+       "MODULE_TRANSMOG",
+       "MODULE_SOLO_LFG"
+     ],
+     "label": "My Custom Profile",
+     "description": "Custom module selection",
+     "order": 100
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Trigger workflow** with profile name `my-custom-profile`
+
+3. **Images created**:
+   - `authserver-my-custom-profile-latest`
+   - `worldserver-my-custom-profile-latest`
+
+### Scheduled Builds
+
+The nightly scheduled build always uses the **RealmMaster** profile. To schedule builds for different profiles, you can:
+
+1. Create additional workflow files (e.g., `.github/workflows/build-all-modules.yml`)
+2. Set different cron schedules
+3. Hardcode the profile name in the workflow

+# Deploying Pre-Built RealmMaster Images
+
+This guide explains how to deploy AzerothCore RealmMaster using pre-built Docker images from Docker Hub. **No local building required!**
+
+## What's Included in Pre-Built Images
+
+The pre-built images are automatically built nightly with the **RealmMaster module profile**, which includes **32 carefully selected modules**:
+
+- **MODULE_PLAYERBOTS** - AI-controlled player characters
+- **MODULE_TRANSMOG** - Transmogrification system
+- **MODULE_SOLO_LFG** - Solo dungeon finder
+- **MODULE_ELUNA** - Lua scripting engine
+- **MODULE_AIO** - All-in-one interface
+- **MODULE_NPC_BUFFER** - Buff NPC
+- **MODULE_NPC_BEASTMASTER** - Pet management
+- **MODULE_SOLOCRAFT** - Solo dungeon scaling
+- **MODULE_1V1_ARENA** - 1v1 arena system
+- **MODULE_ACCOUNT_ACHIEVEMENTS** - Account-wide achievements
+- ...and 22 more modules!
+
+See `config/module-profiles/RealmMaster.json` for the complete list.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker with Docker Compose v2
+- 16GB+ RAM
+- 64GB+ storage
+- Linux/macOS/WSL2
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Clone the Repository
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/uprightbass360/AzerothCore-RealmMaster.git
+cd AzerothCore-RealmMaster
+```
+
+### 2. Create Configuration File
+
+```bash
+# Copy the pre-built images template
+cp .env.prebuilt .env
+```
+
+### 3. Configure Docker Hub Username
+
+Edit `.env` and set your Docker Hub username:
+
+```bash
+# Change this line:
+DOCKERHUB_USERNAME=your-dockerhub-username
+
+# To (example):
+DOCKERHUB_USERNAME=uprightbass360
+```
+
+### 4. Optional: Customize Settings
+
+Edit `.env` to customize:
+
+- **Server address**: `SERVER_ADDRESS=your-server-ip`
+- **Passwords**: `MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=your-password`
+- **Playerbot population**: `PLAYERBOT_MIN_BOTS` and `PLAYERBOT_MAX_BOTS`
+- **Server preset**: `SERVER_CONFIG_PRESET=fast-leveling` (or blizzlike, hardcore-pvp, casual-pve)
+
+### 5. Deploy
+
+```bash
+./deploy.sh
+```
+
+The deployment will:
+- Pull pre-built images from Docker Hub
+- Set up MySQL database with all module SQL
+- Configure client data
+- Start all services
+
+**First deployment takes 30-60 minutes** for database setup and client data download.
+
+## Image Tags
+
+The CI/CD workflow publishes images with **profile-specific tags** so you know exactly which modules are included:
+
+### Profile-Tagged Images (Recommended)
+
+Each module profile gets its own tag:
+
+- **`:authserver-realmmaster-latest`** - RealmMaster profile (32 modules)
+- **`:worldserver-realmmaster-latest`** - RealmMaster profile (32 modules)
+- **`:authserver-realmmaster-YYYYMMDD`** - Date-tagged RealmMaster builds
+- **`:worldserver-realmmaster-YYYYMMDD`** - Date-tagged RealmMaster builds
+
+Other available profiles (if built):
+- **`:authserver-suggested-modules-latest`** - Suggested modules profile
+- **`:authserver-all-modules-latest`** - All modules profile
+- **`:authserver-playerbots-only-latest`** - Playerbots only
+
+### Generic Tags (Backward Compatibility)
+
+- **`:authserver-latest`** - Latest build (defaults to RealmMaster profile)
+- **`:worldserver-latest`** - Latest build (defaults to RealmMaster profile)
+
+### Choosing a Profile
+
+In `.env.prebuilt`, set the `MODULE_PROFILE` variable:
+
+```bash
+# Choose your profile
+MODULE_PROFILE=realmmaster          # 32 modules (default, recommended)
+# MODULE_PROFILE=suggested-modules  # Alternative module set
+# MODULE_PROFILE=all-modules        # All supported modules
+# MODULE_PROFILE=playerbots-only    # Just playerbots
+
+# Images automatically reference the selected profile
+AC_AUTHSERVER_IMAGE_MODULES=${DOCKERHUB_USERNAME}/${COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME}:authserver-${MODULE_PROFILE}-latest
+AC_WORLDSERVER_IMAGE_MODULES=${DOCKERHUB_USERNAME}/${COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME}:worldserver-${MODULE_PROFILE}-latest
+```
+
+### Using Date-Tagged Images
+
+To pin to a specific build date, edit `.env`:
+
+```bash
+# Set your profile
+MODULE_PROFILE=realmmaster
+
+# Pin to a specific date (example: January 9, 2026)
+AC_AUTHSERVER_IMAGE_MODULES=${DOCKERHUB_USERNAME}/${COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME}:authserver-${MODULE_PROFILE}-20260109
+AC_WORLDSERVER_IMAGE_MODULES=${DOCKERHUB_USERNAME}/${COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME}:worldserver-${MODULE_PROFILE}-20260109
+```
+
+## Differences from Local Build
+
+### What You DON'T Need
+
+When using pre-built images, you **skip**:
+- ❌ Running `./setup.sh` (module selection)
+- ❌ Running `./build.sh` (compilation)
+- ❌ 15-45 minute build time
+- ❌ Build dependencies (Go compiler, etc.)
+
+### What's the Same
+
+Everything else works identically:
+- ✅ Database setup and migrations
+- ✅ Module SQL installation
+- ✅ Configuration management
+- ✅ Backup system
+- ✅ All management commands
+- ✅ phpMyAdmin and Keira3 tools
+
+## Verifying Your Deployment
+
+After deployment completes:
+
+### 1. Check Container Status
+
+```bash
+./status.sh
+```
+
+You should see all services running:
+- ✅ ac-mysql
+- ✅ ac-authserver
+- ✅ ac-worldserver
+- ✅ ac-phpmyadmin
+- ✅ ac-keira3
+
+### 2. Verify Modules Are Loaded
+
+Check the worldserver logs:
+
+```bash
+docker logs ac-worldserver | grep "module"
+```
+
+You should see messages about 32 modules being loaded.
+
+### 3. Access Management Tools
+
+- **phpMyAdmin**: http://localhost:8081
+- **Keira3**: http://localhost:4201
+
+## Post-Installation
+
+### Create Admin Account
+
+1. Attach to the worldserver container:
+
+```bash
+docker attach ac-worldserver
+```
+
+2. Create an account and set GM level:
+
+```
+account create admin password
+account set gmlevel admin 3 -1
+```
+
+3. Detach: Press `Ctrl+P` then `Ctrl+Q`
+
+### Configure Client
+
+Edit your WoW 3.3.5a client's `realmlist.wtf`:
+
+```
+set realmlist 127.0.0.1
+```
+
+(Replace `127.0.0.1` with your server's IP if remote)
+
+## Updating to Latest Images
+
+To update to the latest nightly build:
+
+```bash
+# Pull latest images
+docker compose pull
+
+# Restart services
+docker compose down
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+**Note**: Database schema updates will be applied automatically on restart.
+
+## Switching Between Pre-Built and Local Build
+
+### From Pre-Built to Local Build
+
+If you want to customize modules and build locally:
+
+```bash
+# Remove pre-built .env
+rm .env
+
+# Run interactive setup
+./setup.sh
+
+# Build with your custom modules
+./build.sh
+
+# Deploy
+./deploy.sh
+```
+
+### From Local Build to Pre-Built
+
+If you want to use pre-built images instead:
+
+```bash
+# Back up your current .env
+mv .env .env.custom
+
+# Use pre-built configuration
+cp .env.prebuilt .env
+
+# Edit DOCKERHUB_USERNAME in .env
+
+# Deploy
+./deploy.sh
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Image Pull Errors
+
+**Problem**: `Error response from daemon: manifest not found`
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Verify `DOCKERHUB_USERNAME` is set correctly in `.env`
+2. Check that the images exist at: https://hub.docker.com/u/your-username
+3. Ensure the CI/CD workflow has run successfully
+
+### Module SQL Not Applied
+
+**Problem**: Modules don't seem to be working
+
+**Solution**: The module SQL is automatically applied during deployment. Check:
+
+```bash
+# Verify module SQL staging
+ls -la storage/module-sql-updates/
+
+# Check database for module tables
+docker exec -it ac-mysql mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD} -e "SHOW TABLES" acore_world | grep -i module
+```
+
+### Performance Issues
+
+**Problem**: Server is slow or laggy
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Increase MySQL tmpfs size in `.env`: `MYSQL_RUNTIME_TMPFS_SIZE=16G`
+2. Reduce playerbot population: `PLAYERBOT_MAX_BOTS=100`
+3. Check system resources: `docker stats`
+
+## Advanced Configuration
+
+### Custom Module Selection
+
+Pre-built images include all RealmMaster modules. To disable specific modules:
+
+1. Edit server configuration files in `storage/config/`
+2. Set module enable flags to 0
+3. Restart worldserver: `docker compose restart ac-worldserver`
+
+**Note**: You can only disable modules, not add new ones (requires local build).
+
+### Server Configuration Presets
+
+Apply configuration presets for different server types:
+
+```bash
+# In .env, set one of these presets:
+SERVER_CONFIG_PRESET=blizzlike        # Authentic WotLK experience (1x rates)
+SERVER_CONFIG_PRESET=fast-leveling    # 3x XP rates, QoL improvements
+SERVER_CONFIG_PRESET=hardcore-pvp     # Competitive PvP (1.5x rates)
+SERVER_CONFIG_PRESET=casual-pve       # Relaxed PvE (2x rates)
+```
+
+Restart after changing: `docker compose restart ac-worldserver`
