Update provisioning documentation and scripts for improved Proxmox deployment</message>

<message>Add a new step-by-step guide for deploying the CM4 eMMC provisioning service on a new Proxmox instance, enhancing clarity for users. Update existing documentation to reflect changes in network configuration options, including the introduction of LAN subnet settings for DHCP and TFTP. Modify cloud-init scripts to ensure proper management of DNS settings and improve the handling of network interfaces. Additionally, enhance the toggle script for network boot to dynamically read the LAN gateway from configuration files, streamlining the setup process and improving user experience.

+# Deploy CM4 eMMC Provisioning to a New Proxmox Instance
+
+Step-by-step guide to deploy the provisioning service (host + LXC) on a **new** Proxmox server. For redeploy/update and troubleshooting, see [PROXMOX-LXC-DEPLOYMENT.md](PROXMOX-LXC-DEPLOYMENT.md).
+
+---
+
+## Prerequisites (before running the deploy script)
+
+| Requirement | Details |
+|-------------|---------|
+| **Proxmox host** | A Proxmox VE node (new or existing) where you want the service. |
+| **SSH as root** | You must be able to run `ssh root@YOUR_PROXMOX_HOST` with **key-based auth** (no password prompt). |
+| **Proxmox storage** | At least one active storage (e.g. `local` or `local-lvm`). Check on the host: `pvesm status`. |
+| **Host internet** (recommended) | Needed so the deploy script can download the Debian 12 LXC template (if missing), and install **usbboot** and **PiShrink** on the host. Without internet, deploy still runs but you must install usbboot and PiShrink manually later. |
+
+**Optional (set before deploy):**
+
+- `DEPLOY_ROOTFS_STORAGE=local-lvm` — Skip interactive storage choice when creating the LXC.
+- `DEPLOY_LXC_ROOT_PASSWORD=yourpassword` — Set LXC root password and enable SSH.
+- `DEPLOY_LXC_SSH_KEY=/path/to/pub` — Copy this key into the LXC (default: `~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub` or `id_rsa.pub`).
+- `CM4_BACKUPS_HOST_PATH=/mnt/storage/cm4-backups` — Store backups on this host path (create the directory on the host if needed).
+- **Network (WAN/LAN):**  
+  `DEPLOY_LXC_WAN_BRIDGE=vmbr0` (default), `DEPLOY_LXC_WAN_IP=dhcp` (default),  
+  `DEPLOY_LXC_LAN_BRIDGE=vmbr1`, `DEPLOY_LXC_LAN_SUBNET=10.20.50.1/24` — To add eth1 as provisioning LAN with a custom subnet.
+
+---
+
+## Step 1: Run the deploy script
+
+From your **workstation** (where the repo is cloned), run:
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/reTerminal\ DM4
+
+./emmc-provisioning/scripts/deploy-to-proxmox.sh root@YOUR_PROXMOX_HOST
+```
+
+Replace `YOUR_PROXMOX_HOST` with the Proxmox hostname or IP (e.g. `10.20.30.40`).
+
+**Example with options:**
+
+```bash
+DEPLOY_ROOTFS_STORAGE=local-lvm \
+DEPLOY_LXC_ROOT_PASSWORD='YourSecurePassword' \
+DEPLOY_LXC_LAN_BRIDGE=vmbr1 \
+DEPLOY_LXC_LAN_SUBNET=10.20.50.1/24 \
+./emmc-provisioning/scripts/deploy-to-proxmox.sh root@10.20.30.40
+```
+
+- On **first run**, the script will ask you to choose LXC rootfs storage (unless `DEPLOY_ROOTFS_STORAGE` is set). It then creates the LXC, installs host scripts, udev, systemd units, and the dashboard in the LXC.
+- The script prints the **LXC IP** at the end. Note it for the next steps (or get it with:  
+  `ssh root@YOUR_PROXMOX_HOST "pct exec \$(pct list -no-header -output vmid,name | awk '\''\$2==\"cm4-provisioning\"{print \$1}'\'') -- hostname -I"`).
+
+---
+
+## Step 2: Install usbboot on the host (if host had no internet during deploy)
+
+USB flash/backup needs **rpiboot** on the Proxmox **host**. If the deploy log said usbboot install failed or was skipped:
+
+**From your workstation:**
+
+```bash
+scp emmc-provisioning/scripts/install-usbboot-on-host.sh root@YOUR_PROXMOX_HOST:/tmp/
+ssh root@YOUR_PROXMOX_HOST "bash /tmp/install-usbboot-on-host.sh"
+```
+
+**Or on the Proxmox host** (if `/tmp/emmc-provisioning-deploy` is still there):
+
+```bash
+ssh root@YOUR_PROXMOX_HOST
+bash /tmp/emmc-provisioning-deploy/scripts/install-usbboot-on-host.sh
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 3: Add a golden image (required for Deploy)
+
+To **write** an image to a device (Deploy), the host must have a **golden image** at `/var/lib/cm4-provisioning/golden.img`. Backup (read from device) works without it.
+
+**Option A — From the dashboard**
+
+1. Open **http://<LXC-IP>:5000** (use the LXC IP from the deploy output).
+2. Build a cloud-init image or upload/set an existing backup as golden (see dashboard Admin).
+
+**Option B — Copy an image from your machine**
+
+```bash
+scp /path/to/your-golden.img root@YOUR_PROXMOX_HOST:/var/lib/cm4-provisioning/golden.img
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 4: (Optional) SSH into the LXC
+
+If you set `DEPLOY_LXC_ROOT_PASSWORD` or had a default SSH key, you can already run:
+
+```bash
+ssh root@<LXC-IP>
+```
+
+Otherwise, enable root SSH and add your key:
+
+```bash
+./emmc-provisioning/scripts/setup-lxc-ssh.sh root@YOUR_PROXMOX_HOST
+# Or with password: ROOT_PASSWORD='YourPassword' ./emmc-provisioning/scripts/setup-lxc-ssh.sh root@YOUR_PROXMOX_HOST ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 5: (Optional) Network boot (DHCP + TFTP on eth1)
+
+Only if you deployed with **`DEPLOY_LXC_LAN_BRIDGE`** (and optionally `DEPLOY_LXC_LAN_SUBNET`) and want to offer network boot to devices on that LAN:
+
+```bash
+./emmc-provisioning/scripts/setup-network-boot-on-lxc.sh root@<LXC-IP>
+```
+
+See [NETWORK-BOOT-LXC.md](NETWORK-BOOT-LXC.md) for details.
+
+---
+
+## Step 6: (Optional) Install PiShrink on the host
+
+If the deploy log said PiShrink install failed (e.g. no internet), and you want **Shrink/Compress** in the dashboard to work:
+
+```bash
+ssh root@YOUR_PROXMOX_HOST "bash /tmp/emmc-provisioning-deploy/scripts/install-pishrink-on-host.sh"
+```
+
+Or from your machine (stream the script): use the same pattern as in [PROXMOX-LXC-DEPLOYMENT.md](PROXMOX-LXC-DEPLOYMENT.md) for `install-pishrink-on-host.sh`.
+
+---
+
+## Summary checklist
+
+| Step | Action | Required? |
+|------|--------|------------|
+| 1 | Run `deploy-to-proxmox.sh root@YOUR_PROXMOX_HOST` | **Yes** |
+| 2 | Install usbboot on host (if deploy couldn’t) | For USB flash/backup |
+| 3 | Add `golden.img` for Deploy | For Deploy only |
+| 4 | SSH to LXC (or use setup-lxc-ssh.sh) | Optional |
+| 5 | Run setup-network-boot-on-lxc.sh (if using eth1 LAN) | Optional |
+| 6 | Install PiShrink on host (if deploy couldn’t) | For Shrink/Compress |
+
+**After deployment:**
+
+- **Dashboard:** http://&lt;LXC-IP&gt;:5000  
+- **Golden image path (host and LXC):** `/var/lib/cm4-provisioning/golden.img`  
+- **Disable auto-flash:** `ssh root@YOUR_PROXMOX_HOST "rm /etc/cm4-provisioning/enabled"`  
+- **Enable again:** `ssh root@YOUR_PROXMOX_HOST "touch /etc/cm4-provisioning/enabled"`

+## Method 3: Edit on an image file (.img or .img.xz)
+
+To edit cloud-init **inside a disk image** (e.g. `gnss-bootstrap-20260223-215010.img.xz`) without booting the device:
+
+1. **Run the helper script** (requires `sudo` for loop device and mount):
+
+   ```bash
+   cd /path/to/reTerminal-DM4
+   ./emmc-provisioning/scripts/edit-cloudinit-on-image.sh gnss-bootstrap-20260223-215010.img.xz
+   ```
+
+2. The script will:
+   - Decompress the `.img.xz` (if needed; allow ~3GB free space and a minute or two)
+   - Attach the image with `losetup` and mount the **boot** (FAT32) partition
+   - Open your `$EDITOR` (or `nano`) on `user-data`, `meta-data`, and `network-config`
+   - After you save and exit, unmount and recompress, **overwriting** the original `.img.xz`
+
+3. **Back up the image** before running if you want to keep the original:
+   ```bash
+   cp gnss-bootstrap-20260223-215010.img.xz gnss-bootstrap-20260223-215010.img.xz.bak
+   ```
+
+4. **Options:**
+   - `--no-recompress` — Leave the image decompressed after editing (do not overwrite the `.img.xz`).
+   - `--replace-with-repo` — Copy `user-data`, `meta-data`, and `network-config` from `emmc-provisioning/cloud-init/` into the image before opening the editor (useful to start from repo templates).

+### Changing the LAN subnet
+
+When you deploy with **`DEPLOY_LXC_LAN_SUBNET`** (e.g. `10.100.1.1/24`), the deploy script writes **`/opt/cm4-provisioning/lan-subnet.conf`** inside the LXC with `LAN_GW`, `LAN_CIDR`, and the DHCP range. All LXC services use this file:
+
+- **dnsmasq** (DHCP range and, via the toggle script, TFTP next-server)
+- **nftables/iptables** (NAT source subnet)
+- **toggle-network-boot-dhcp.sh** (option 66/67 next-server)
+
+So changing `DEPLOY_LXC_LAN_SUBNET` and **re-running the deploy script** updates `lan-subnet.conf`. To apply the new subnet to dnsmasq and NAT, **re-run the setup script** after redeploying:
+
+```bash
+./emmc-provisioning/scripts/setup-network-boot-on-lxc.sh root@<LXC-IP>

 Config files for the **provisioning LXC** when using **eth1** as a provisioning LAN (DHCP + TFTP for network boot, NAT for internet).
 
+**LAN subnet:** When you deploy with `DEPLOY_LXC_LAN_SUBNET` (e.g. `10.100.1.1/24`), the deploy script writes `/opt/cm4-provisioning/lan-subnet.conf` inside the LXC with `LAN_GW`, `LAN_CIDR`, and `DHCP_RANGE_START`/`DHCP_RANGE_END`. The setup script and toggle script read this file so dnsmasq, NAT, and PXE options all use the same subnet. If the file is missing, defaults are `10.20.50.1/24` and `10.20.50.100`–`10.20.50.200`.

 |------|--------|
-| **dnsmasq-network-boot.conf** | dnsmasq: DHCP + TFTP on eth1 only. Copied to `/etc/dnsmasq.d/` by `scripts/setup-network-boot-on-lxc.sh`. |
-| **nft-nat-lan.conf** | nftables NAT so 10.20.50.0/24 uses eth0 for internet. Applied by the setup script to `/etc/nftables.d/nat-lan.conf`. |
+| **dnsmasq-network-boot.conf** | Template: dnsmasq DHCP + TFTP on eth1. Setup script writes `/etc/dnsmasq.d/network-boot.conf` using values from `lan-subnet.conf`. |
+| **nft-nat-lan.conf** | Template: nftables NAT for LAN→WAN. Setup script writes `/etc/nftables.d/nat-lan.conf` using `LAN_CIDR` from `lan-subnet.conf`. |
