+# Docker Deployment
+
+This directory contains Docker configuration files for deploying the Carbon app.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker
+- Docker Compose
+
+## Quick Start
+
+1. Clone the repository:
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/carbon-app/carbon.git
+cd carbon
+```
+
+2. Build and run:
+```bash
+cd deploy/docker
+docker-compose up --build -d
+```
+
+3. Access the application at http://localhost:3000
+
+## Files
+
+- `Dockerfile` - Multi-stage Docker build configuration
+- `docker-compose.yml` - Container orchestration
+- `.dockerignore` - Build context exclusions
+
+## Commands
+
+### Using Docker Compose
+
+Start the application:
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+Build and start:
+```bash
+docker-compose up --build -d
+```
+
+View logs:
+```bash
+docker-compose logs -f carbon-app
+```
+
+Stop the application:
+```bash
+docker-compose down
+```
+
+### Using Docker directly
+
+Build image:
+```bash
+docker build -t carbon-app -f Dockerfile ../../
+```
+
+Run container:
+```bash
+docker run -d --name carbon-app -p 3000:3000 carbon-app
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+Set in `docker-compose.yml`:
+- `NODE_ENV` - Node.js environment (default: production)
+- `NEXT_TELEMETRY_DISABLED` - Disable Next.js telemetry (default: 1)
+- `PORT` - Application port (default: 3000)
+
+### Port Mapping
+
+Change the host port by modifying the ports section in `docker-compose.yml`:
+```yaml
+ports:
+  - "8080:3000"  # Access via localhost:8080
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build Issues
+
+Increase Docker memory allocation if builds fail due to memory constraints.
+
+### Port Conflicts
+
+If port 3000 is in use, change the host port mapping in `docker-compose.yml`.
+
+### Container Health
+
+The container includes health checks. View status with:
+```bash
+docker-compose ps
+```
+
+### Logs
+
+View application logs:
+```bash
+docker-compose logs carbon-app
+```
+
+Follow logs in real-time:
+```bash
+docker-compose logs -f carbon-app
+```
+
+## Production
+
+For production deployments:
+
+1. Use a reverse proxy (nginx, traefik)
+2. Configure proper logging
+3. Set up monitoring and alerting
+4. Use orchestration tools (Docker Swarm, Kubernetes)
+5. Implement backup strategies
+
+## Updates
+
+To update the application:
+
+1. Pull latest changes:
+```bash
+git pull origin main
+```
+
+2. Rebuild and restart:
+```bash
+cd deploy/docker
+docker-compose down
+docker-compose up --build -d
+```
