+# Qlockify Deployment
+
+This repository is the deployment layer only.
+
+It does not contain application source copies. Docker builds read directly from the sibling repositories:
+
+- `../qlockify-backend`
+- `../qlockify-frontend`
+
+## Local structure
+
+The expected directory layout is:
+
+```text
+Qlockify/
+  qlockify-backend/
+  qlockify-frontend/
+  qlockify-deployment/
+```
+
+## Deployment flow
+
+1. Configure deployment env files:
+   - `./.env`
+   - `./backend/.env`
+   - `./frontend/.env`
+2. From `qlockify-deployment`, build and start the stack:
+
+```powershell
+docker compose up --build
+```
+
+The backend container runs database migrations and `collectstatic` on startup, then serves Django with Gunicorn using `config.wsgi:application`.
