+
+> Full stack (API + Dashboard) on cloud: add a second service pointing at `apps/web/Dockerfile` with `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL` set to your API URL. For local evaluation, Docker Compose below runs both with one command.
+
+### Docker (full stack, recommended)
+
+```bash
+# Generate a strong API key and start the full stack
+export OPERATORBOARD_API_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32)
+docker compose up
+
+# Dashboard → http://localhost:3000
+# API       → http://localhost:4100
+
+# Include the mock agent for a full demo:
+docker compose --profile demo up
+```
+
 ### Local development
 
 ```bash
-# 1. Clone and install
 git clone https://github.com/projectblackboxllc/operatorboard.git
 cd operatorboard
 pnpm install
 
-# 2. Configure environment
 cp apps/api/.env.example apps/api/.env
 cp apps/web/.env.example apps/web/.env
-# Set OPERATORBOARD_API_KEY — use a strong random value:
-#   openssl rand -hex 32
+# Edit apps/api/.env — set OPERATORBOARD_API_KEY to: openssl rand -hex 32
 
-# 3. Start with demo seed data
+# Start with demo seed data
 OPERATORBOARD_SEED=true OPERATORBOARD_ENABLE_DEV_ROUTES=true pnpm dev
 
 # API       → http://localhost:4100
 # Dashboard → http://localhost:4300
 ```
 
-### Docker (recommended for production evaluation)
-
-```bash
-export OPERATORBOARD_API_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32)
-docker compose up
-
-# Dashboard → http://localhost:3000
-# API       → http://localhost:4100
