+# Docker Compose GUIDE for this Server
+# 1. No comments in the rest of the file. This top block is the only exception.
+# 2. All containers that are part of the same service must have the service name as a prefix.
+#    Example: headscale, headscale-database, headscale-ui, etc.
+# 3. DO NOT use Docker volumes. Use only bind mounts with relative paths like ./<service>/folder
+#    Example: ./headscale/data:/data
+# 4. To expose services over HTTP/HTTPS, you must use Traefik.
+# 5. Use env_file for environment variables.
+#    - File must be stored in the service folder, e.g., ./headscale/.env.headscale
+#    - Containers related to the same service must use the same .env file
+# 6. These rules must also be followed by AI-generated configurations and edits.
