Add CloudSticks deployment script without PM2 dependency

- Created deploy-cloudsticks.sh for CloudSticks environment
- Works with systemd, PM2, or direct node execution
- Added CLOUDSTICKS_DEPLOY.md with specific instructions
- Handles case where PM2 is not installed

+# CloudSticks Deployment Guide
+
+## Quick Setup (No PM2 Required)
+
+Since CloudSticks auto-deploys from GitHub, you only need to set up the database config and ensure the server is running.
+
+### Option 1: Use the CloudSticks Deployment Script
+
+```bash
+cd /home/github2/apps/app-connect5
+chmod +x deploy-cloudsticks.sh
+./deploy-cloudsticks.sh
+```
+
+This will:
+- ✅ Install dependencies
+- ✅ Create `db.config.js` with Supabase credentials
+- ✅ Attempt to restart the server (systemd or PM2 if available)
+- ✅ Test the API endpoint
+
+---
+
+### Option 2: Manual Setup
+
+If you prefer manual setup:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/github2/apps/app-connect5
+
+# Install dependencies
+npm install
+
+# Create db.config.js
+cat > db.config.js << 'EOF'
+module.exports = {
+    supabaseUrl: 'https://wxtirlphaphwbrgsjyop.supabase.co',
+    supabaseAnonKey: 'sb_publishable_Onh4nNYCV99d2eGidQIpqA_9PBkY8zs',
+    supabasePassword: 't1hWsackxbYzRIPD',
+    postgresConnectionString: 'postgresql://postgres:t1hWsackxbYzRIPD@db.wxtirlphaphwbrgsjyop.supabase.co:5432/postgres'
+};
+EOF
+
+# Check if server is running
+ps aux | grep "node server.js"
+
+# If not running, start it
+nohup node server.js > server.log 2>&1 &
+
+# Or if CloudSticks uses systemd:
+sudo systemctl restart connect5
+```
+
+---
+
+## Verify Deployment
+
+### 1. Check if Node.js is Running
+
+```bash
+ps aux | grep node
+```
+
+Should show `node server.js` running
+
+### 2. Test API Locally
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:3000/api/db-status
+```
+
+Should return JSON with `"connected": true`
+
+### 3. Test in Browser
+
+Visit: https://connect5.beyondcloud.technology/
+
+Check status bar shows:
+- **SQL**: Connected ✅
+- **Latency**: ~45ms
+- **Write**: Enabled ✅
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Server Not Running
+
+**Start the server**:
+```bash
+cd /home/github2/apps/app-connect5
+node server.js > server.log 2>&1 &
+```
+
+**Check logs**:
+```bash
+tail -f server.log
+```
+
+### API Returns 404
+
+**Check Apache/Nginx proxy**:
+The web server needs to proxy `/api/*` and `/socket.io/*` to `localhost:3000`
+
+**For Apache**, ensure you have:
+```apache
+ProxyPass /api http://localhost:3000/api
+ProxyPassReverse /api http://localhost:3000/api
+ProxyPass /socket.io http://localhost:3000/socket.io
+ProxyPassReverse /socket.io http://localhost:3000/socket.io
+```
+
+### Database Connection Fails
+
+**Verify credentials**:
+```bash
+cat db.config.js
+```
+
+**Test Supabase connection**:
+```bash
+node -e "const {supabase} = require('./database'); supabase.from('players').select('id').limit(1).then(console.log).catch(console.error)"
+```
+

+
+## CloudSticks-Specific Notes
+
+- **Auto-Deploy**: CloudSticks automatically pulls from GitHub when you push
+- **No PM2**: CloudSticks may not have PM2 installed - use systemd or direct node
+- **Logs**: Check `server.log` for application logs
+- **Restart**: After code changes, restart the Node.js process
+
+---
+
+## Keep Server Running
+
+### Option 1: Using nohup (Simple)
+```bash
+nohup node server.js > server.log 2>&1 &
+```
+
+### Option 2: Using systemd (Recommended)
+
+Create `/etc/systemd/system/connect5.service`:
+```ini
+[Unit]
+Description=Connect-5 Multiplayer Server
+After=network.target
+
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+User=github2
+WorkingDirectory=/home/github2/apps/app-connect5
+ExecStart=/usr/bin/node server.js
+Restart=always
+Environment=NODE_ENV=production
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+```
+
+Enable and start:
+```bash
+sudo systemctl enable connect5
+sudo systemctl start connect5
+sudo systemctl status connect5
+```
+
+---
+
+## Future Updates
+
+When you push to GitHub:
+1. CloudSticks auto-deploys the code
+2. Run: `./deploy-cloudsticks.sh` (or restart server manually)
+3. Verify at https://connect5.beyondcloud.technology/
