 ## Advanced Usage
 
-### Custom Credentials at Build Time
+### Baking In a Production Password
 
-If you need different credentials, use Docker build arguments:
+To use a custom password without passing it on the command line:
+
+**Option 1: `.piscal-build.env` (recommended)**
 
 ```bash
-docker build \
-  --build-arg SSH_USERNAME=customuser \
-  --build-arg SSH_PASSWORD=custompass \
-  -t piscal:custom \
-  .
+cp .piscal-build.env.example .piscal-build.env
+# Edit .piscal-build.env and set: PISCAL_SSH_PASSWORD=your_secure_password
+./build-docker.sh   # or .\build-docker.ps1
+```
+
+The build scripts automatically load `.piscal-build.env` (gitignored) and pass the password to the Docker build.
+
+**Option 2: Environment variable**
+
+```bash
+export PISCAL_SSH_PASSWORD="your_secure_password"
+./build-docker.sh
+```
+
+**Option 3: Direct build-arg**
+
+```bash

+# v1 VM Deployment (LeafWeb Layout)
+
+This branch configures PISCAL for deployment on a VM matching the layout used by `piscal.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com`, so the LeafWeb client can access jobs and storage at the expected paths.
+
+## Directory Layout
+
+```
+/home/piscaladmin/
+├── LeafWeb/                      # Scripts + project directories
+│   ├── piscal_launcher.cfg       # Config (piscal_executable, storage paths)

+└── piscal_executable/            # Compiled binary
+    └── piscal
+```
+
+## Deployment
+
+**Docker (recommended):** The Docker image uses this layout by default. See [README-Docker.md](README-Docker.md).
+
+**Manual VM deployment:** Copy scripts to LeafWeb and the compiled `piscal` binary to `piscal_executable/`:
+
+```bash
+ssh piscaladmin@host 'mkdir -p ~/LeafWeb ~/piscal_executable ~/LeafWeb_storage/input ~/LeafWeb_storage/output'
+scp piscal-manager/*.cfg piscal-manager/*.sh piscal-manager/README.txt piscaladmin@host:~/LeafWeb/
+scp leafres/testrun/piscal piscaladmin@host:~/piscal_executable/
+ssh piscaladmin@host 'chmod +x ~/LeafWeb/*.sh'
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+`piscal_launcher.cfg` uses VM paths:
+
+- `piscal_executable="/home/piscaladmin/piscal_executable/piscal"`
+- `storage_directory="/home/piscaladmin/LeafWeb_storage"`
+
+Adjust if your VM uses different locations.
+
+## Running Jobs
+
+From `~/LeafWeb`:
+
+```bash
+cd ~/LeafWeb
+./piscal_manager.sh -d 280_CinnamomumbodinieriLévl -s -p C3_photosynthesis_leafweb
+./piscal_manager.sh -d 280_CinnamomumbodinieriLévl   # status
+./piscal_manager.sh -d 280_CinnamomumbodinieriLévl -c   # cleanup
+```
+
+The `-d` argument is the project directory name (a subdir of LeafWeb).
