+# compose.dokploy.yml
+# Single-file Docker Compose for deploying Instatic on Dokploy (SQLite mode).
+#
+# Dokploy's Compose app type wants one compose file, but the VPS guide
+# (docs/deployment/vps.md) splits SQLite setup across two files
+# (compose.prod.yml + compose.sqlite.yml). This file merges those into one
+# so it can be pointed at directly from the Dokploy UI.
+#
+# For Postgres instead of SQLite, follow docs/deployment/vps.md directly
+# rather than this file.
