+# ZeaVis Edu — Telemetry Stack Integration (LOCAL DEV ONLY)
 #
-# Extends the Telemetry submodule docker-compose to share the app network so
-# Prometheus can scrape the ZeaVis Edu services (web, api, ml).
+# This override connects the Telemetry submodule docker-compose to the same
+# Docker network as ZeaVis Edu services for LOCAL development on a single host.
 #
-# Usage (from project root):
-#   docker compose -f telemetry/deploy/docker-compose.yml \
-#                  -f docker-compose.telemetry.yml up -d
+# In PRODUCTION, the app and telemetry run on separate VPS instances
+# connected via Tailscale. See telemetry/prometheus/targets/zeavis-edu.json
+# for the Tailscale IP configuration.
+#
+# Usage (local dev only):
+#   # Ensure app-shared-net exists first:
+#   docker network create app-shared-net
+#
+#   # Start telemetry with app network access:
+#   make telemetry-up-local
