+# IPMI Controller - Persistence Setup
+
+## Data Persistence
+
+All configuration and user data is stored in the `data/` directory:
+- `data/config.json` - All settings, fan curves, IPMI config
+- `data/users.json` - User accounts and passwords
+
+**IMPORTANT:** The `data/` directory is committed to git for version control of your settings.
+
+## Backup Your Settings
+
+```bash
+# Create backup
+cd ~/ipmi-controller
+cp -r data data.backup.$(date +%Y%m%d)
+
+# Or backup to external location
+cp data/config.json /mnt/backup/ipmi-controller-config.json
+```
+
+## Auto-Start on Boot (systemd)
+
+1. **Create service file:**
+```bash
+sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/ipmi-controller.service << 'EOF'
+[Unit]
+Description=IPMI Controller
+After=network.target
+
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+User=devmatrix
+WorkingDirectory=/home/devmatrix/ipmi-controller
+ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /home/devmatrix/ipmi-controller/web_server.py
+Restart=always
+RestartSec=10
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+EOF
+```
+
+2. **Enable and start:**
+```bash
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl enable ipmi-controller
+sudo systemctl start ipmi-controller
+```
+
+3. **Check status:**
+```bash
+sudo systemctl status ipmi-controller
+sudo journalctl -u ipmi-controller -f
+```
+
+## Docker Deployment (Persistent)
+
+```bash
+# Using docker-compose
+cd ~/ipmi-controller
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# Data is persisted in ./data directory
+```
+
+## Updating Without Losing Settings
+
+```bash
+cd ~/ipmi-controller
+
+# Backup first
+cp -r data data.backup
+
+# Pull updates
+git pull
+
+# Restart
+sudo systemctl restart ipmi-controller
+# OR if using docker:
+docker-compose restart
+```
+
+## What Gets Persisted
+
+✅ IPMI connection settings  
+✅ HTTP sensor configuration  
+✅ Fan curves (Balanced, Silent, Performance, etc.)  
+✅ User accounts and passwords  
+✅ Theme preference (dark/light)  
+✅ Fan groups and custom names  
+✅ All control settings (poll interval, panic temps, etc.)  
+
+## Migration to New Server
+
+1. Copy `data/config.json` and `data/users.json` to new server
+2. Install ipmitool: `sudo apt-get install ipmitool`
+3. Install Python deps: `pip install -r requirements.txt`
+4. Start server: `python3 web_server.py`

 # IPMI Controller
 
-Advanced IPMI fan control for Dell servers with web interface, HTTP sensor support, fan groups, and multiple fan curves.
+Advanced IPMI fan control for Dell servers with web interface, HTTP sensor support, multiple fan curves, and persistent configuration.
 
 ## Features
 
-- 🌡️ **Temperature Monitoring** - IPMI and HTTP (lm-sensors) sensor support
+- 🌡️ **Dual Sensor Support** - IPMI + HTTP (lm-sensors from Proxmox/host)
-- 🌬️ **Fan Control** - Automatic curves, manual control, panic mode
+- 🌬️ **Smart Fan Control** - Automatic curves, manual control, panic mode
-- 👥 **Fan Groups** - Group fans with different curves
+- 📊 **3 Preset Curves** - Balanced (default), Silent, Performance
+- 👥 **Fan Groups** - Organize and control fans individually or in groups
 - 🔍 **Fan Identify** - Visual fan identification
-- 🎨 **Dark/Light Mode** - Theme switching
+- 🎨 **Themes** - Dark and Light mode
-- 📊 **Public API** - For external integrations
+- 📱 **Responsive Web UI** - Works on desktop and mobile
-- 🔒 **Secure** - Password protected with JWT auth
+- 🔌 **Public API** - For external integrations
+- 💾 **Persistent Settings** - Survives restarts and updates
 
 ## Quick Start
 
-### Requirements
+### Automated Install (Recommended)
-- Python 3.10+
-- ipmitool
-- Linux server (tested on Dell T710)
 
-### Install
 ```bash
 git clone https://github.com/yourusername/ipmi-controller.git
 cd ipmi-controller
-pip install -r requirements.txt
+chmod +x install.sh
+sudo ./install.sh
 ```
 
-### Run
+This will:
+- Install all dependencies
+- Create systemd service for auto-start
+- Set up persistent data directory
+- Start the controller on boot
+
+### Manual Install
+
 ```bash
+# Install dependencies
+sudo apt-get install -y ipmitool python3-pip
+pip3 install -r requirements.txt
+
+# Run
 python3 web_server.py
 ```
 
-Open `http://your-server:8000` and complete the setup wizard.
+Access at `http://your-server:8000`
 
-## Docker
+## Initial Setup
+
+1. Complete the setup wizard (create admin + IPMI config)
+2. Login with your admin credentials
+3. (Optional) Set up HTTP sensor on your Proxmox host:
+   ```bash
+   # On Proxmox server
+   curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yourusername/ipmi-controller/main/setup-sensors-server.sh
+   sudo ./setup-sensors-server.sh
+   ```
+4. Enable auto control and enjoy automatic fan management!
+
+## Persistence
+
+All your settings are automatically saved to `data/config.json`:
+
+✅ IPMI configuration  
+✅ HTTP sensor settings  
+✅ Fan curves (Balanced, Silent, Performance)  
+✅ User accounts  
+✅ Theme preference  
+✅ All control settings  
+
+**Backups:**
+```bash
+./backup.sh backup          # Create backup
+./backup.sh list            # List backups
+./backup.sh restore [file]  # Restore from backup
+```
+
+**Auto-backup via cron:**
+```bash
+# Add to crontab (keeps 30 days of backups)
+0 2 * * * /opt/ipmi-controller/backup.sh auto
+```
+
+## Updating
 
 ```bash
-docker build -t ipmi-controller .
+cd ipmi-controller
-docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -v ./data:/app/data ipmi-controller
+git pull
+
+# Settings are preserved automatically
+sudo systemctl restart ipmi-controller
+```
+
+## Fan Curves
+
+**Balanced** (Default) - Best for most users:
+```
+30°C → 10%  |  40°C → 15%  |  50°C → 30%  |  60°C → 55%  |  70°C → 85%  |  80°C → 100%
+```
+
+**Silent** - Noise-sensitive environments:
+```
+30°C → 5%  |  40°C → 10%  |  50°C → 15%  |  60°C → 35%  |  70°C → 70%  |  80°C → 100%
+```
+
+**Performance** - Heavy workloads:
+```
+30°C → 20%  |  40°C → 35%  |  50°C → 55%  |  60°C → 85%  |  70°C → 100%
 ```

-- [Setup Guide](SETUP.md) - Full installation and configuration
+- [Setup Guide](SETUP.md) - Full installation instructions
+- [Persistence Guide](PERSISTENCE.md) - Backup and restore
 - [API Reference](API.md) - Public API documentation
 
+## Docker
+
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+Data persists in `./data` directory.
+
+## Management Commands
+
+```bash
+# Status
+sudo systemctl status ipmi-controller
+
+# Logs
+sudo journalctl -u ipmi-controller -f
+
+# Restart
+sudo systemctl restart ipmi-controller
+
+# Stop
+sudo systemctl stop ipmi-controller
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**IPMI Connection Failed:**
+- Verify IPMI IP, username, password
+- Test: `ipmitool -I lanplus -H <ip> -U <user> -P <pass> mc info`
+
+**No Temperature Data:**
+- Check HTTP sensor: `curl http://proxmox-ip:8888`
+- Verify `sensor_preference` is set to "auto" or "http"
+
+**Settings Lost After Update:**
+- Ensure `data/` directory is not deleted
+- Check file permissions: `ls -la data/`
