+Build and run the web app plus PostgreSQL:
+
+```bash
+docker compose up --build
+```
+
+The app is exposed at [http://localhost:3333](http://localhost:3333). The Compose stack provides `DATABASE_URL` and `JWT_SECRET` for the app container.
+
+The Docker image installs dependencies with `npm ci --ignore-scripts`; Prisma generation runs later in the builder stage after `prisma/schema.prisma` has been copied into the image. The base image also installs OpenSSL so Prisma's native query engine works on Alpine.
+
+### Ollama in a Separate Container
+
+The app expects Ollama at `OLLAMA_URL`. If Ollama runs in another container, expose port `11434` and point the app at that service or host address.
+
+For an AMD GPU with ROCm, a typical Ollama container launch is:
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -it \
+  --device=/dev/kfd \
+  --device=/dev/dri \
+  --group-add video \
+  --group-add render \
+  -v ollama:/root/.ollama \
+  -p 11434:11434 \
+  ollama/ollama:rocm
+```
+
+Then pull the recommended model:
+
+```bash
+ollama pull qwen3:32b
+```
+
+If the app runs in Docker Compose and Ollama is bound to the host on Linux, set:
+
+```yaml
+environment:
+  OLLAMA_URL: http://host.docker.internal:11434
+  OLLAMA_MODEL: qwen3:32b
+extra_hosts:
