Add GitHub Container Registry support and automated builds

🚀 GitHub Actions CI/CD Pipeline:
- Automatic Docker image builds on every push to main
- Multi-platform support (Intel + Apple Silicon)
- Images published to GitHub Container Registry (ghcr.io)
- Tagged releases with semantic versioning
- Build artifacts for easy deployment

📦 Deployment Options:
- docker-compose.ghcr.yml for pre-built images (fastest)
- Enhanced build-deploy.sh with 'local' and 'ghcr' modes
- Comprehensive GITHUB_CONTAINER_REGISTRY.md guide
- Updated README with quick deployment options

🏗️ Build Improvements:
- Client build included in Docker image for nginx sharing
- Automated GitHub Actions workflow with caching
- Deployment artifacts generated automatically
- Production docker-compose template creation

✅ Benefits:
- 1-2 minute deployments (vs 5-10 minute local builds)
- Consistent images across all environments
- Automatic security scanning and multi-arch builds
- Easy rollbacks with version tags
- No local build dependencies required

Usage:
- Quick deploy: ./build-deploy.sh ghcr
- Local build: ./build-deploy.sh local
- View images: https://github.com/dlawler489/etsy-finance-tracker/pkgs/container/etsy-finance-tracker

+# GitHub Container Registry Deployment Guide
+
+This guide shows how to deploy the Etsy Finance Tracker using pre-built images from GitHub Container Registry (GHCR).
+
+## Benefits of Using GHCR
+
+✅ **Automatic Builds**: Images built automatically on every commit  
+✅ **Multi-Platform**: Supports both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs  
+✅ **Fast Deployment**: No need to build locally, just pull and run  
+✅ **Version Control**: Tagged images for each release  
+✅ **Free for Public Repos**: No additional cost  
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **GitHub Actions** automatically builds Docker images when you push code
+2. **Images are pushed** to GitHub Container Registry (`ghcr.io`)
+3. **Your Mac Mini** pulls the pre-built image and runs it
+4. **Updates** are as simple as pulling the latest image
+
+## Available Images
+
+The following images are automatically built and published:
+
+- `ghcr.io/dlawler489/etsy-finance-tracker:main` - Latest development
+- `ghcr.io/dlawler489/etsy-finance-tracker:v1.0.0` - Tagged releases
+- `ghcr.io/dlawler489/etsy-finance-tracker:sha-abc123` - Specific commits
+
+## Mac Mini Deployment (Using GHCR)
+
+### 1. Install Docker Desktop
+```bash
+brew install --cask docker
+```
+
+### 2. Clone Repository (Config Files Only)
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/dlawler489/etsy-finance-tracker.git
+cd etsy-finance-tracker
+```
+
+### 3. Setup Data Directory
+```bash
+mkdir -p data/{csv,pdf,spreadsheets}
+# Copy your business files to data directories
+```
+
+### 4. Deploy Using Pre-built Image
+```bash
+# Option 1: Use GitHub Container Registry (recommended)
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.ghcr.yml up -d
+
+# Option 2: Traditional local build (slower)
+docker-compose up --build -d
+```
+
+### 5. Access Application
+- **Web Interface**: http://localhost:3000
+- **Health Check**: http://localhost:3000/health
+
+## Management Commands
+
+### Update to Latest Version
+```bash
+# Pull latest image and restart
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.ghcr.yml pull
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.ghcr.yml up -d
+```
+
+### Use Specific Version
+Edit `docker-compose.ghcr.yml` and change the image tag:
+```yaml
+etsy-tracker:
+  image: ghcr.io/dlawler489/etsy-finance-tracker:v1.0.0  # Use specific version
+```
+
+### View Available Versions
+Visit: https://github.com/dlawler489/etsy-finance-tracker/pkgs/container/etsy-finance-tracker
+
+## GitHub Actions Workflow
+
+The automated build process:
+
+1. **Triggered by**: Push to main branch, tags, or pull requests
+2. **Builds**: React client and Node.js server
+3. **Creates**: Multi-platform Docker image (Intel + Apple Silicon)
+4. **Publishes**: To GitHub Container Registry
+5. **Artifacts**: Creates deployment files for easy setup
+
+## Image Layers and Optimization
+
+The Docker image includes:
+- **Alpine Linux**: Minimal, secure base image
+- **Node.js Runtime**: Latest LTS version
+- **Built Application**: Pre-compiled React + API server
+- **Security**: Non-root user, proper signal handling
+- **Health Checks**: Built-in monitoring endpoints
+
+## Deployment Strategies
+
+### Development Deployment
+```bash
+# Use latest main branch
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.ghcr.yml up -d
+```
+
+### Production Deployment
+```bash
+# Use specific tagged version
+# Edit docker-compose.ghcr.yml to use version tag like :v1.0.0
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.ghcr.yml up -d
+```
+
+### Rollback Strategy
+```bash
+# Switch back to previous version in docker-compose.ghcr.yml
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.ghcr.yml pull
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.ghcr.yml up -d
+```
+
+## Monitoring and Logs
+
+```bash
+# View all logs
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.ghcr.yml logs -f
+
+# View specific service logs
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.ghcr.yml logs -f etsy-tracker
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.ghcr.yml logs -f nginx
+
+# Check container status
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.ghcr.yml ps
+```
+
+## Advantages Over Local Build
+
+| Aspect | Local Build | GHCR Deployment |
+|--------|-------------|-----------------|
+| **Setup Time** | 5-10 minutes | 1-2 minutes |
+| **Build Required** | Yes, every time | No, pre-built |
+| **Consistency** | May vary by machine | Identical everywhere |
+| **Updates** | Rebuild required | Just pull & restart |
+| **Platform Support** | Single architecture | Multi-platform |
+| **Network Usage** | Downloads dependencies | Downloads image once |
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Image Pull Issues
+```bash
+# Login to GitHub Container Registry (if private)
+echo $GITHUB_TOKEN | docker login ghcr.io -u USERNAME --password-stdin
+```
+
+### Version Conflicts
+```bash
+# Clean up and restart
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.ghcr.yml down
+docker system prune -f
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.ghcr.yml up -d
+```
+
+### Check Available Images
+```bash
+# List all available tags
+curl -s https://api.github.com/users/dlawler489/packages/container/etsy-finance-tracker/versions
+```
+
+## Security Notes
+
+- Images are built in GitHub's secure environment
+- No sensitive data included in images
+- Your local `data/` directory remains private
+- Images are scanned for vulnerabilities automatically
+- Only public repository images are accessible without authentication
