+# Gancio
+
+Gancio is a shared agenda for local communities, federated via ActivityPub. It allows groups to publish and discover local events.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- **PostgreSQL** - Database for storing events and users
+
+## Configuration
+
+Key settings in `config.yaml`:
+
+- **domain** - Where Gancio will be accessible
+- **storage** - Persistent volume size (default: `2Gi`)
+- **db.name** - Database name (default: `gancio`)
+
+## First-Time Setup
+
+1. Add and deploy the app:
+   ```bash
+   wild app add gancio
+   wild app deploy gancio
+   ```
+
+2. Visit the app URL — on first load, a setup wizard will run to create the admin account and configure the instance.
+
+3. After setup, you can start publishing events and inviting community members.
+
+## Notes
+
+- **Re-deploy warning**: If the app is deleted and redeployed with an existing database, Gancio will refuse to start with a "Non empty db" error. Fix by dropping and recreating the public schema in the `gancio` database before restarting. See ADDING-APPS-NOTES.md note 18 for the exact commands.
+- Gancio stores its setup state in `config.json` on the data PVC — do not delete the PVC without also clearing the database
+- Events are federated to Mastodon and other ActivityPub platforms
