+## 🔧 Maintenance
+
+### View Logs
+
+```bash
+# All services
+docker-compose logs -f
+
+# Specific service
+docker-compose logs -f gluetun
+docker-compose logs -f qbittorrent
+```
+
+### Restart Services
+
+```bash
+# Restart all
+docker-compose restart
+
+# Restart specific service
+docker-compose restart gluetun
+```
+
+### Update Services
+
+```bash
+# Pull latest images
+docker-compose pull
+
+# Recreate containers with new images
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+### Stop Services
+
+```bash
+# Stop all
+docker-compose down
+
+# Stop and remove volumes
+docker-compose down -v
+```
+
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+### VPN Not Connecting
+
+```bash
+# Check gluetun logs
+docker-compose logs gluetun
+
+# Common issues:
+# - Wrong OpenVPN credentials
+# - Server country not available
+# - Network connectivity issues
+```
+
+### Services Can't Connect Through VPN
+
+Ensure services are using `network_mode: service:gluetun` and gluetun is healthy:
+
+```bash
+# Check gluetun health
+docker-compose ps gluetun
+
+# Check VPN connection
+docker-compose exec gluetun curl -s https://ipinfo.io
+```
+
+### Permission Issues
+
+```bash
+# Check current PUID/PGID
+id
+
+# Update .env with correct values
+# Fix ownership
+sudo chown -R $(id -u):$(id -g) /mnt/fast-block/audiojacker
+```
+
+### Port Conflicts
+
+If default ports are in use, modify the port mappings in `.env`:
+
+```bash
+# Example: Change qBittorrent port
+QBITTORRENT_PORT=18080
+```
