 ## Server Deployment
 
-### Docker Compose (recommended)
-
-```bash
-docker compose up -d
-```
-
-### Docker Manual
+### Docker
 
 ```bash
 docker build -t solidtime-mcp-server .
-docker run -p 3000:3000 solidtime-mcp-server
+docker run -d \
+  -e PORT=3045 \
+  -e SOLIDTIME_API_URL=https://app.solidtime.io \
+  -p 3045:3045 \
+  solidtime-mcp-server
 ```
 
+### Dokploy / Docker Swarm
+
+Create an **Application** (not Compose) in Dokploy pointing to your Git repo. Dokploy will build using the Dockerfile and deploy as a Swarm service. Configure in the Dokploy dashboard:
+
+- **Domain**: your desired hostname, pointing to port `3045`
+- **Environment variables**: `PORT=3045` and `SOLIDTIME_API_URL`
+
+> **Note**: Compose-type deployments use `docker compose up` which creates plain containers. If your Dokploy instance runs Traefik with Docker Swarm, use Application type so Traefik's Swarm provider can discover the service.
+
 ### Server Environment Variables
 
 These are set on the server, not by MCP clients:
 
 | Variable | Required | Default | Description |
 |----------|----------|---------|-------------|
-| `PORT` | No | `3000` | HTTP server port |
+| `PORT` | No | `3045` | HTTP server port |
 | `SOLIDTIME_API_URL` | No | `https://app.solidtime.io` | Default SolidTime API URL (clients can override via header) |
