+That's it. The CLI walks you through everything interactively.
+
+## What is automa?
+
+**automa** is a single bash script that turns a collection of Docker Compose projects into a deploy-ready toolkit. No YAML editing, no manual `docker compose` commands — just answer a few questions and your services are live.
+
+- **Zero config** — sensible defaults for every project, secrets auto-generated
+- **Interactive** — guided setup with hints, validation, and color-coded output
+- **Non-interactive** — `automa -y deploy` for CI/scripts, accepts all defaults
+- **Self-contained** — each project is an independent directory, no shared dependencies
+- **Portable** — pure bash, works on any Linux with Docker
+
+## Available Projects
+
+| Project | Description | Upstream |
+|---------|-------------|----------|
+| **Forgejo** | Self-hosted Git service (Gitea fork) | [forgejo.org](https://forgejo.org) |
+| **Nextcloud** | Private cloud with MariaDB + Redis | [nextcloud.com](https://nextcloud.com) |
+| **Uptime Kuma** | Uptime monitoring dashboard | [GitHub](https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma) |
+| **Tailscale** | Mesh VPN client + optional DERP relay | [tailscale.com](https://tailscale.com) |
+| **Filesuite** | Cloudreve cloud storage + qBittorrent | [cloudreve.org](https://cloudreve.org) |
+| **Minecraft** | Fabric server (itzg/minecraft-server) | [Docs](https://docker-minecraft-server.readthedocs.io) |
+| **TeamSpeak** | Voice communication server | [teamspeak.com](https://teamspeak.com) |
+
+> Adding your own project? Just create a directory with `compose.yaml` and `.env.example` — automa discovers it automatically.

## Usage
```bash
-./automa deploy # interactive project selection
-./automa deploy forgejo filesuite # deploy specific projects

-./automa stop forgejo # stop a project
-./automa update nextcloud # pull latest images & recreate
-./automa config tailscale # reconfigure .env
-./automa list # list available projects
+automa deploy # interactive project selection

-## Structure
-
-Each project is a self-contained directory:
+## How It Works
```
-project-name/
-├── compose.yaml # Docker Compose definition
-├── .env.example # Template — comments shown during setup
-└── .env # Your config (gitignored, created by CLI)
+~/automa/
+├── automa # CLI entry point (single script)
+├── install.sh # curl-pipe-bash installer
+├── forgejo/
+│ ├── compose.yaml # Docker Compose definition
+│ ├── .env.example # Template with metadata + defaults
+│ └── .env # Your config (gitignored, created by CLI)
+├── nextcloud/
+│ └── ...
+└── ...
```
+Each project directory is fully self-contained:
+
+- **`compose.yaml`** — production-ready with health checks, resource hints, and security hardening
+- **`.env.example`** — annotated template with `@name`, `@desc`, `@url`, `@port` metadata that the CLI reads
+- **`.env`** — your configuration, auto-generated with safe defaults and random secrets
+
+## Requirements
+
+| Dependency | Minimum |
+|------------|---------|
+| Docker | 20.10+ |
+| Docker Compose | v2 (plugin) |
+| Bash | 4.0+ |
+| Git | any |
+
+The installer checks all prerequisites automatically.
+
+## Uninstall
+
+```bash
+cd ~/automa
+./automa stop # stop running containers
+cd ~ && rm -rf ~/automa # remove automa
+```
+
+Data volumes are stored inside each project's `data/` directory and will be removed with the above command. Back up first if needed.
+
+## Contributing
+
+Contributions are welcome! To add a new project:
+
+1. Create a new directory: `mkdir myproject`
+2. Add a `compose.yaml` with health checks
+3. Add a `.env.example` with metadata headers:
+ ```bash
+ # @name My Project
+ # @desc Short description shown in CLI
+ # @url https://project-homepage.com
+ # @port PORT_VAR_NAME
+ ```
+4. Open a pull request
