 Feel free to expand on this scaffold—add proper logging, schedule transcript
 updates, or flesh out the UI—once you’re happy with the baseline behaviour.
 
-## Run with Docker Compose
+## Run with Docker Compose (App Only; Remote ES/Qdrant)
 
-A quick single-node stack (app + Elasticsearch + Qdrant) is included:
+The provided compose file builds/runs only the Flask app and expects **remote** Elasticsearch/Qdrant endpoints. Supply them via environment variables (directly or a `.env` alongside `docker-compose.yml`):
 
 ```bash
-docker compose build
-docker compose up
+ELASTIC_URL=https://your-es-host:9200 \
+QDRANT_URL=https://your-qdrant-host:6333 \
+docker compose up --build
 ```
 
-Services:
-- **app** (port 8080): Flask UI/API, embeds queries on demand (downloads the model on first run).
-- **elasticsearch** (port 9200): single node, security disabled for local use.
-- **qdrant** (port 6333): vector index used by `/vector-search`.
+Other tunables (defaults shown in compose):
+- `ELASTIC_INDEX` (default `this_little_corner_py`)
+- `ELASTIC_USERNAME` / `ELASTIC_PASSWORD` or `ELASTIC_API_KEY`
+- `ELASTIC_VERIFY_CERTS` (set to `1` for real TLS verification)
+- `QDRANT_COLLECTION` (default `tlc-captions-full`)
+- `QDRANT_VECTOR_NAME` / `QDRANT_VECTOR_SIZE` / `QDRANT_EMBED_MODEL`
 
-Key environment wiring (see `docker-compose.yml` for defaults):
-- `ELASTIC_URL=http://elasticsearch:9200`
-- `ELASTIC_INDEX=this_little_corner_py`
-- `QDRANT_URL=http://qdrant:6333`
-- `QDRANT_COLLECTION=tlc-captions-full`
-- `LOCAL_DATA_DIR=/app/data/video_metadata` (mounted from `./data`)
-
-Mount `./data` (read-only) if you want local fallbacks for metrics; otherwise the app relies entirely on Elasticsearch/Qdrant. Stop the stack with `docker compose down` (add `-v` to clear ES/Qdrant volumes).
+Port 8080 on the host is forwarded to the app. Mount `./data` (read-only) if you want local fallbacks for metrics (`LOCAL_DATA_DIR=/app/data/video_metadata`); otherwise the app will rely purely on the remote backends. Stop the container with `docker compose down`.
