+
+Django project configured for the Full Moon Bakehouse platform. The scaffold is minimal but wired to the Docker environment variables.
+
+## Development
+
+Inside Docker (recommended):
+
+```bash
+docker compose up api-gpt
+```
+
+Run management commands via:
+
+```bash
+docker compose exec api-gpt python manage.py migrate
+docker compose exec api-gpt python manage.py createsuperuser
+```
+
+For local development outside Docker, create a virtualenv and install requirements:
+
+```bash
+python -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+python manage.py migrate
+python manage.py runserver
+```
+
+Environment variables default to SQLite if `DATABASE_URL` is not provided.
