## 🐛 Troubleshooting

### Port 8080 Already in Use

**Solution 1: Use Different Port**
```bash
# Docker
docker run -d -p 9090:80 --name goa-gel-docs goa-gel-docs

# Then access at: http://localhost:9090
```

**Solution 2: Find and Kill Process**
```bash
# Find what's using port 8080
lsof -i :8080

# Kill the process (replace PID with actual PID)
kill -9 PID
```

### Docker Build Fails

**Check Docker is Running**
```bash
docker --version
docker ps

# If not running, start Docker Desktop
```

**Clear Docker Cache**
```bash
docker system prune -a
docker build --no-cache -t goa-gel-docs .
```

### Documentation Not Loading

**Check files exist**
```bash
ls -la docs/
# Should see all .md files

ls -la public/
# Should see index.html, viewer.html, css/, js/
```

**Check container logs**
```bash
docker logs goa-gel-docs
# Look for any error messages
```

### Blank Page or 404 Errors

**Clear Browser Cache**
- Press Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows/Linux)
- Press Cmd+Shift+R (Mac)
- Or use Incognito/Private mode

**Check network tab**
- Open browser DevTools (F12)
- Go to Network tab
- Refresh page
- Look for failed requests (red)

## 📱 Access from Mobile

### Same Network

1. Find your computer's IP address:
   ```bash
   # Mac/Linux
   ifconfig | grep "inet "

   # Windows
   ipconfig
   ```

2. On mobile, open browser and go to:
   ```
   http://YOUR_IP_ADDRESS:8080
   ```

### Public Access (Advanced)

Use a reverse proxy or cloud hosting (see DEPLOY.md for details)

## 🔄 Updating Documentation

### Update Markdown Files

1. Edit `.md` files in `docs/` directory
2. Rebuild and restart:

**Docker:**
```bash
docker build -t goa-gel-docs .
docker stop goa-gel-docs && docker rm goa-gel-docs
docker run -d -p 8080:80 --name goa-gel-docs goa-gel-docs
```

**Local:**
```bash
# No rebuild needed - just refresh browser
# Server automatically serves updated files
```

### Add New Documentation

1. Add new `.md` file to `docs/` directory
2. Update `public/js/viewer.js` - add to `DOC_MAP`:
   ```javascript
   const DOC_MAP = {
       'YOUR_NEW_DOC': '/docs/YOUR_NEW_DOC.md',
       // ... existing entries
   };
   ```
3. Rebuild and restart (if using Docker)
