Docs suggestion: canonical production deployment example #2067

@corradoizzo

Description

@corradoizzo

It would be very helpful to have a canonical production deployment example for chat-ui, covering a real-world setup beyond local development and basic Docker usage.

Current state

The docs cover:

•	local development
•	Docker examples
•	high-level deployment notes

However, they don’t clearly explain production deployments, especially regarding:

•	asset paths (e.g. manifest.json)
•	build-time vs runtime environment variables
•	reverse proxies
•	subpath deployments (e.g. /chat, /chatui)

Suggested improvement

Add a single, opinionated “recommended production deployment” example, including:

•	required environment variables
•	when variables must be set (build vs runtime)
•	asset base/path configuration
•	a minimal reverse-proxy example (e.g. Nginx)

Even one supported reference setup would greatly reduce trial-and-error.

Without a canonical example, production users like me may spend significant time debugging configuration issues rather than using or contributing to the project.

PS.: If this is already documented somewhere, or if I am misunderstanding the intended deployment model, i’d really appreciate being pointed to the correct reference.

Thank you for your work

All the best
