+# echo website
+
+The [echoIRCd](https://git.devtronic.pro/echo/echoIRCd) project website — Rust + [Axum](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum), with compile-time [Askama](https://github.com/rinja-rs/askama) templates. Templates and static assets are baked into the binary, so the deployed artifact is self-contained.
+
+Serves <https://echoircd.org>.
+
+## Run
+
+```sh
+cargo run                       # http://127.0.0.1:8099
+ECHO_WEB_ADDR=127.0.0.1:9000 cargo run
+```
+
+## Layout
+
+- `src/main.rs` — Axum router (`/`, `/features`, `/connect`, `/static/style.css`, `/favicon.svg`, `/health`).
+- `templates/` — Askama templates (`base.html` + one per page).
+- `static/` — CSS and favicon, embedded via `include_str!`.
+
+## Deploy
+
+Built as a release binary and run under `echo-website.service`, reverse-proxied by nginx (TLS terminates at nginx).
