Stop current deployment systemctl stop kartsell-host # 2. Revert to previous version git checkout <previous-commit-hash> dotnet publish -c Release -o ./publish # 3. Restore database (if schema changed) psql < backups/pre-deployment-schema.sql # 4. Start previous version systemctl start kartsell-host # 5. Verify health curl https://api.kartsell.taxbaik.com/health # 6.
