## π― Quick Start Guide
### For Local Development (Easiest)
```bash
# Option 1: Use the quick-start script (recommended)
./docker-quickstart.sh
# Option 2: Manual Docker Compose
cp docker-compose.template.yml docker-compose.yml
docker-compose up -d
docker-compose exec codegraphcontext bash
# Option 3: Docker only
docker build -t codegraphcontext:latest .
docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/workspace codegraphcontext:latest bash
```
### For Production Deployment
```bash
# On your cloud VM (Ubuntu/Debian)
# This single command does EVERYTHING:
./deploy-production.sh
```
The production script will:
- β
Install Docker and Docker Compose
- β
Configure firewall
- β
Clone repository
- β
Build and start containers
