+# 🗑️ Decommissioning Checklist for `shredderv1`
+
+**Date:** 2025-05-01
+
+---
+
+## 🔐 1. Verify Nothing Critical Is Running
+- [ ] Confirm all services (e.g., AzuraCast, Docker containers, media playback) have **been migrated**
+- [ ] Double-check DNS entries (e.g., CNAMEs or A records) have been **updated to the new server**
+- [ ] Ensure any **active mounts, Rclone remotes, or scheduled tasks** are disabled
+
+---
+
+## 📦 2. Migrate/Preserve Data
+- [ ] Backup and copy remaining relevant files (station configs, logs, recordings, playlists)
+- [ ] Verify data was successfully migrated to the new ZFS-based AzuraCast VM
+- [ ] Remove temporary backup files and export archives
+
+---
+
+## 🧹 3. Remove from Infrastructure
+- [ ] Remove from monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, Nagios, Grafana)
+- [ ] Remove from Ansible inventory or configuration management systems
+- [ ] Remove any scheduled crons or automation hooks targeting this VM
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 4. Disable and Secure
+- [ ] Power down services (`docker stop`, `systemctl disable`, etc.)
+- [ ] Disable remote access (e.g., SSH keys, user accounts)
+- [ ] Lock or archive internal credentials (e.g., API tokens, DB creds, rclone configs)
+
+---
+
+## 🧽 5. Wipe or Reclaim Resources
+- [ ] If VM: Delete or archive VM snapshot in Proxmox or hypervisor
+- [ ] If physical: Securely wipe disks (e.g., `shred`, `blkdiscard`, or DBAN)
+- [ ] Reclaim IP address (e.g., assign to new ZFS-based VM)
+
+---
+
+## 📜 6. Documentation & Closure
+- [ ] Log the decommission date in your infrastructure inventory or documentation
+- [ ] Tag any previous support tickets/issues as “Resolved (Decommissioned)”
+- [ ] Inform team members that `shredderv1` has been retired
+
+---
+
+## 🚫 Final Step
+```bash
+shutdown -h now
+```
+
+Or if you're feeling dramatic:
+```bash
+echo "Goodnight, sweet prince." && shutdown -h now
+```
