+<h1><strong>Quick Start</strong></h1>
+
+<p>
+  This page provides a fast, practical guide to deploying and running the 
+  <strong>Managed Valheim</strong> server container. If you want to get up and 
+  running quickly on TrueNAS SCALE or any OCI-compatible platform, this is the 
+  place to start.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><strong>1. Pull the Container Image</strong></h2>
+
+<p>
+  Pull the desired version of the container from your registry:
+</p>
+
+<pre><code>gitea.theminisip.ca/mini-server-manager/managed-valheim:1.0.1.1</code></pre>
+
+<p>
+  You may also use <code>latest</code>, but versioned tags are recommended for 
+  production deployments.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><strong>2. Required Volumes</strong></h2>
+
+<p>
+  The container expects two persistent volumes:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li><code>/config</code> — configuration and runtime metadata</li>
+  <li><code>/backups</code> — world backup storage</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+  On TrueNAS SCALE, these map to datasets you select during app installation.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><strong>3. Required Ports</strong></h2>
+
+<p>
+  Valheim uses three UDP ports:
+</p>
+
+<pre><code>2456/udp
+2457/udp
+2458/udp
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>
+  TrueNAS SCALE will automatically expose these based on your app configuration.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><strong>4. Core Environment Variables</strong></h2>
+
+<p>
+  At minimum, configure the following:
+</p>
+
+<table>
+  <thead>
+    <tr>
+      <th>Variable</th>
+      <th>Default</th>
+      <th>Description</th>
+    </tr>
+  </thead>
+  <tbody>
+    <tr>
+      <td><code>SERVER_NAME</code></td>
+      <td>Valheim Server</td>
+      <td>Name shown in server browser</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <td><code>WORLD_NAME</code></td>
+      <td>Dedicated</td>
+      <td>World save name</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <td><code>SERVER_PASSWORD</code></td>
+      <td>changeme</td>
+      <td>Password required to join</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <td><code>PUBLIC</code></td>
+      <td>1</td>
+      <td>Public listing toggle</td>
+    </tr>
+  </tbody>
+</table>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><strong>5. Backup Configuration</strong></h2>
+
+<p>
+  The server includes automated world backups. Configure these variables to 
+  control timing and retention:
+</p>
+
+<table>
+  <thead>
+    <tr>
+      <th>Variable</th>
+      <th>Default</th>
+      <th>Description</th>
+    </tr>
+  </thead>
+  <tbody>
+    <tr>
+      <td><code>BACKUP_INTERVAL</code></td>
+      <td>21600</td>
+      <td>Backup interval (seconds). Default is 6 hours.</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <td><code>BACKUP_RETENTION_DAYS</code></td>
+      <td>7</td>
+      <td>Number of days to keep backups before pruning.</td>
+    </tr>
+  </tbody>
+</table>
+
+<p>
+  Backups are stored in the <code>/backups</code> volume as timestamped ZIP 
+  archives.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><strong>6. How Updates Work</strong></h2>
+
+<p>
+  The container automatically updates Valheim on each start:
+</p>
+
+<ol>
+  <li>SteamCMD installs/updates Valheim into <code>/opt/valheim_base</code>.</li>
+  <li>Updated files are copied into <code>/opt/valheim</code>.</li>
+  <li>BepInEx is downloaded, validated, extracted, and patched.</li>
+  <li>The managed wrapper launches the server.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>
+  This clean + modded directory separation ensures reliable updates even when 
+  mods are installed.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><strong>7. Starting the Server</strong></h2>
+
+<p>
+  Once configured, simply start or restart the TrueNAS SCALE app. The server 
+  will:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Update itself</li>
+  <li>Install BepInEx</li>
+  <li>Apply patches</li>
+  <li>Begin automated backups</li>
+  <li>Launch the Valheim dedicated server</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+  Logs are visible directly in the TrueNAS SCALE UI.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><strong>8. Modding</strong></h2>
+
+<p>
+  Mods can be placed in:
+</p>
+
+<pre><code>/opt/valheim/BepInEx/plugins</code></pre>
+
+<p>
+  These files persist across updates because the modded directory is preserved 
+  during the SteamCMD update cycle.
+</p>
