🚨 If You Don't See Changes After Docker Build

Problem: Easypanel/Docker is caching old build

Solution 1: Force Clean Rebuild

# In Easypanel:
1. Go to service settings
2. Click "Redeploy" 
3. Wait for build to complete (3-5 minutes)
4. Hard refresh browser: Cmd+Shift+R (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows)

Solution 2: Check Docker Build Logs

# In Easypanel logs, you should see:
✓ Generating static pages (70/70)
├ ○ /cookie-policy  143 B

If you DON'T see /cookie-policy in build output, Docker is using old code.

Solution 3: Verify Dockerfile Configuration

In Easypanel service settings:

• Build Type: Dockerfile
• Dockerfile Path: ./Dockerfile (NOT auto-detect)
• Port: 3000

Solution 4: Clear All Caches

1. Clear browser cache completely
2. Try incognito mode
3. Check different browser

✅ What You Should See

After successful rebuild:

• ✅ Cookie banner at bottom (first visit only)
• ✅ /cookie-policy page accessible
• ✅ Footer may have links (if added)
• ✅ All 14 pages built

📊 Verification Commands

# Check if code exists in repo
git log --oneline -1
# Should show: 32678ee ✨ Add PDPA compliance features

# Check if CookieConsent exists
ls src/components/CookieConsent.tsx
# Should exist

# Check layout.tsx has CookieConsent
grep "CookieConsent" src/app/layout.tsx
# Should show import and render
