Deployment to Multiple Machines

Build for Distribution

# Build release binary
cargo build --release

# Create tarball
tar -czf mt5-quant-macos-arm64.tar.gz -C target/release mt5-quant

# Deploy to remote server
scp mt5-quant-macos-arm64.tar.gz user@server:~/
ssh user@server "tar -xzf mt5-quant-macos-arm64.tar.gz -C /opt/"
ssh user@server "ln -s /opt/mt5-quant /usr/local/bin/"

# Copy config
scp -r config/mt5-quant.yaml user@server:~/.config/mt5-quant/config/
