+# 🚀 SoundWave - Easy Deployment Guide
+
+## For End Users (No Build Required)
+
+### Quick Start (3 Steps)
+
+**1. Download docker-compose.yml**
+```bash
+wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aiulian25/soundwave/main/docker-compose.yml
+```
+
+**2. Create .env file**
+```bash
+cat > .env << EOF
+SW_HOST=http://localhost:8889
+SW_USERNAME=admin
+SW_PASSWORD=soundwave
+ELASTIC_PASSWORD=soundwave
+REDIS_HOST=soundwave-redis
+TZ=UTC
+EOF
+```
+
+**3. Start SoundWave**
+```bash
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+That's it! 🎉
+
+**Access:** http://localhost:8889  
+**Login:** admin / soundwave
+
+---
+
+## What This Does
+
+The Docker Compose file:
+- ✅ Pulls pre-built image from Docker Hub (`aiulian25/soundwave:latest`)
+- ✅ Starts ElasticSearch for search functionality
+- ✅ Starts Redis for task queue
+- ✅ Automatically runs migrations
+- ✅ Creates admin user
+
+**No npm, no build, no compilation needed!**
+
+---
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+After running, you'll have:
+```
+your-folder/
+├── docker-compose.yml  (downloaded)
+├── .env               (created)
+├── audio/             (created automatically)
+├── cache/             (created automatically)
+├── data/              (created automatically)
+├── es/                (created automatically)
+└── redis/             (created automatically)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Customization
+
+Edit `.env` before starting to customize:
+- Change port from 8889 to something else
+- Change admin username/password
+- Adjust timezone
+
+Example custom .env:
+```bash
+SW_HOST=http://localhost:3000
+SW_USERNAME=myadmin
+SW_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword
+ELASTIC_PASSWORD=elasticpass
+REDIS_HOST=soundwave-redis
+TZ=America/New_York
+```
+
+Then update port in docker-compose.yml:
+```yaml
+ports:
+  - "3000:8888"  # Change 8889 to 3000
+```
+
+---
+
+## Stopping/Starting
+
+```bash
+# Stop
+docker compose down
+
+# Start
+docker compose up -d
+
+# View logs
+docker compose logs -f soundwave
+
+# Restart
+docker compose restart soundwave
+```
+
+---
+
+## Updating
+
+```bash
+# Pull latest image
+docker compose pull
+
+# Restart with new version
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+---
+
+## For Developers
+
+If you want to build from source:
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/aiulian25/soundwave.git
+cd soundwave
+cd frontend && npm install && npm run build && cd ..
+docker compose build
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+---
+
+## System Requirements
+
+- Docker & Docker Compose
+- 2-4GB RAM
+- Dual-core CPU (quad-core recommended)
+- Storage for your audio library
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Port already in use?**
+```bash
+# Change port in .env and docker-compose.yml
+ports:
+  - "9000:8888"  # Use port 9000 instead
+```
+
+**Can't access after starting?**
+```bash
+# Wait 30-60 seconds for services to initialize
+docker compose logs -f soundwave
+```
+
+**Forgot password?**
+```bash
+# Reset admin password
+docker compose exec soundwave python manage.py changepassword admin
+```
+
+---
+
+✨ **That's it! Enjoy SoundWave!**
