 # Minikube hello
 
-A minimal NGINX image deployed to Minikube with Helm at
-`http://hello.k.mancave.link`.
+A minimal NGINX application with separate production and live-edit
+development deployments.

 docker push git.fisoft.eu/ficik/minikube/hello:latest
 ```
 
-## Deploy
+## Production deployment
 
 Create a `kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson` pull secret named
 `git-fisoft-registry` in the `hello` namespace with credentials for
 `git.fisoft.eu`, then install the chart:
 
 ```bash
-helm upgrade --install hello ./chart --namespace hello --create-namespace
+helm upgrade --install hello ./deploy/helm --namespace hello --create-namespace
 ```
+
+## Live development
+
+Each development instance gets its own URL, Kubernetes label, and shared source
+directory. The scripts default to the current repository directory name, or an
+instance can be supplied explicitly:
+
+```bash
+./dev/start.sh hello
+./dev/start.sh feature-one feature-one.control.k.mancave.link
+```
+
+Edits anywhere under `src/` are mirrored into the running NGINX pod. Stop an
+instance and permanently remove its Kubernetes resources, sync process, and
+shared files with:
+
+```bash
+./dev/stop.sh hello
+```
+
+The scripts use namespace `vibes`, PVC `control-vibes-control-data`, and domain
+`control.k.mancave.link` by default. Override them with `DEV_NAMESPACE`,
+`DEV_PVC`, `DEV_SHARED_ROOT`, `DEV_PVC_SUBPATH_ROOT`, or `DEV_DOMAIN`.
