+# DATUM Gateway Deployment Playbook
+#
+# Deploys DATUM Gateway (https://github.com/OCEAN-xyz/datum_gateway) on the
+# Bitcoin Knots host so it has direct localhost RPC access to bitcoind.
+#
+# What this does:
+#   1. Installs build deps and compiles datum_gateway from source
+#   2. Creates a dedicated system user and config/log directories
+#   3. Writes /etc/datum-gateway/config.json from vars/secrets
+#   4. Patches bitcoin.conf with the required blockmaxsize/blocknotify lines
+#   5. Creates and enables a systemd service
+#   6. Creates a push-monitor health check script + systemd timer
+#   7. Registers a push monitor in Uptime Kuma
+#
+# Separate play: adds a Caddy reverse proxy on vipy for the dashboard.
+#
+# Stratum port (23334) is bound on knots_box_local. Expose it to miners via
+# a firewall rule, Tailscale, or a socket proxy on vipy — not handled here.
+#
+# Required secrets in infra_secrets.yml:
+#   datum_mining_address        - Bitcoin address for block rewards
+#   datum_gateway_admin_password - Password for the /api admin endpoint
+#   bitcoin_rpc_user            - Shared with the bitcoin-knots deployment
+#   bitcoin_rpc_password        - Shared with the bitcoin-knots deployment
