## Quick Start
### Option 1: Docker Run (Single Command)
```bash
# Pull the image
docker pull YOUR_USERNAME/vera-ai:latest
# Create directories
mkdir -p config prompts logs
# Create environment file
cat > .env << EOF
APP_UID=$(id -u)
APP_GID=$(id -g)
TZ=America/Chicago
EOF
# Run
docker run -d \
--name vera-ai \
--env-file .env \
-v ./config/config.toml:/app/config/config.toml:ro \
-v ./prompts:/app/prompts:rw \
-v ./logs:/app/logs:rw \

-v /path/to/prompts:/app/prompts:rw \
-v /path/to/logs:/app/logs:rw \
your-username/vera-ai:latest
```
# Test
curl http://localhost:11434/
### Option 2: Docker Compose
Create `docker-compose.yml`:
```yaml
services:
vera-ai:
image: your-username/vera-ai:latest
container_name: VeraAI
restart: unless-stopped
network_mode: host
environment:
- APP_UID=1000
- APP_GID=1000
- TZ=America/Chicago
- VERA_DEBUG=false
volumes:
- ./config/config.toml:/app/config/config.toml:ro
- ./prompts:/app/prompts:rw
- ./logs:/app/logs:rw
```
Then run:
```bash
docker compose up -d
```

## Memory System
## Features
### 4-Layer Context
1. **System Prompt** - From `prompts/systemprompt.md`
2. **Semantic Memory** - Curated Q&A retrieved by relevance
3. **Recent Context** - Last N conversation turns
4. **Current Messages** - User/assistant from request
### Curation Schedule
| Schedule | Time | What |
|----------|------|------|
| Daily | 02:00 | Recent 24h raw memories |
| Monthly | 03:00 on 1st | ALL raw memories |
