+### AI Use
 
 I used AI to stub out a couple of files:
+
 * The backend/Dockerfile and frontend/Dockerfile - to speed up the process of getting docker loaded efficiently for the project.
 * The compose.yml file - getting the different images gathered together quickly.
+* The compose.dev.yml file - used to get a further understanding of how to hook up an extension to the previous file.
 * The mermaid diagrams used in this file.

+### Running for production
+
+The standard docker compose file is used to set up the project in the production environment, and can be run from the following command:
+
+```bash
+docker compose up
+```
+
+### Local running
+
+There is an alternative compose file specifically designed for running this project locally which allows for real-time editing and updating of either the frontend or backend components. The command ro tun everything locally is:
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f compose.dev.yml up
+```
+
+This compose file extends the standard compose file, adding in the necessary pieces to make the application usable in a local dev environment. In this configuration, the frontend is accessable from port 3000 like normal, the backend is accessable from port 8000, and postgres DB from 5432.
