 # Tac Deployment image
 
+The TAC deployment deploys one controller and `n` tac participants.
 
 ### Build the image
 
+To build the image:
 ``` bash
-docker build -t tac-deploy -f Dockerfile .
+docker build -t tac-deploy -f Dockerfile . --no-cache
 ```
-### Configure
-add preferred amount of tac participants agents
+
+## Run locally
+
+Add preferred amount of tac participants agents to `.env` file:
 ```
 PARTICIPANTS_AMOUNT=5
 ```
-to `.env` file
-
-### Run locally
 
+Run:
 ``` bash
 docker run --env-file .env -v "$(pwd)/data:/data" -ti tac-deploy
 ```
 
+## Run in the cloud
 
-### Run in the cloud
 GCloud should be configured first!
 
-tag it first
+### Push image
+
+Tag the image first with the latest tag:
 ``` bash
-docker image tag tac-deploy gcr.io/fetch-ai-sandbox/tac_deploy:0.0.3
+docker image tag tac-deploy gcr.io/fetch-ai-sandbox/tac_deploy:0.0.7
 ```
 
-
-push it to remote repo
+Push it to remote repo:
 ``` bash
-docker push gcr.io/fetch-ai-sandbox/tac_deploy:0.0.3
+docker push gcr.io/fetch-ai-sandbox/tac_deploy:0.0.7
 ```
 
-run it
+### Run it manually
+
+Run it
 ``` bash
-kubectl run tac-deploy-test --image=gcr.io/fetch-ai-sandbox/tac_deploy:0.0.3 --env="PARTICIPANTS_AMOUNT=5" --attach
+kubectl run tac-deploy-{SOMETHING} --image=gcr.io/fetch-ai-sandbox/tac_deploy:0.0.7 --env="PARTICIPANTS_AMOUNT=5" --attach
 ```
 
-access the container
-run it
+Or simply restart existing deployment and latest image will be used with default configurations (see below):
 ``` bash
-kubectl exec tac-deploy-test -ti -- /bin/sh
-cd /data
-ls -1
+kubectl delete pod tac-deploy-{SOMETHING}
 ```
 
+### Manipulate container
+
+To access the container run:
+``` bash
+kubectl exec tac-deploy-{SOMETHING} -ti -- /bin/sh
+```
 
-stop it
+To remove all logs and all keys:
 ``` bash
-kubectl delete pod tac-deploy-test
+cd ../../data
+find . -name \*.log -type f -delete
+find . -name \*.txt -type f -delete
 ```
 
+### Full deployment:
 
+First, push the latest image, as per above.
 
-deploy:
-push image first!
+Second, update the `tac-deployment.yaml` file and then run:
 ``` bash
 kubectl apply -f ./tac-deployment.yaml
 ```
 
-get pods list
+Check for pods list:
 ``` bash
 kubectl get pods
 ```
 
-fetch logs
+To fetch logs:
 ``` bash
-kubectl cp tac-deploy-SOMETHING:/data ./output_dir
+kubectl cp tac-deploy-{SOMETHING}:/data ./output_dir
 ```
 
-delete deployment
+To delete deployment:
 ``` bash
 kubectl delete deployment tac-deploy
-```

+### Analysing Logs:
+
+Handy commands to analyse logs:
+``` bash
+grep -rl 'TAKE CARE! Circumventing controller identity check!' output_dir/ | sort
+grep -rl 'TAKE CARE! Circumventing controller identity check!' output_dir/ | wc -l
+grep -rnw 'SOEF Network Connection Error' output_dir/ |  wc -l
