+# Remote Private Beta (Tailscale)
+
+## 1) One-time prep on host laptop
+1. Install and connect Tailscale.
+2. In this project folder, create beta env:
+   - `cp .env.beta.example .env.beta`
+3. Set a strong secret in `.env.beta` for `CRM_SECRET_KEY`.
+
+## 2) Start beta server
+- `./start_beta.sh`
+- Optional custom port: `./start_beta.sh 8080`
+
+The script prints the Tailscale URL if Tailscale is running.
+
+## 3) Invite users
+- Log in as admin.
+- Settings -> Admin -> Invite User.
+- Share the Tailscale URL and credentials with each tester.
+
+## 4) Pre-flight safety checks before each test session
+1. Run backup now in Settings -> Admin.
+2. Run backup verification in Settings -> Admin -> Reliability Checks.
+3. Confirm Security panel has no secret warning.
+
+## 5) Troubleshooting
+- If users cannot connect, confirm host shows `tailscale status` as online.
+- If CORS error appears, set exact origin in `.env.beta` as `CRM_CORS_ORIGIN=http://<tailscale-ip>:8080` and restart.
+- If port is in use, run `./start_beta.sh 8090`.
