 ## Managing Services
 
-Each service has its own compose file and can be managed independently:
+A root `docker-compose.yml` includes all stacks, so you can manage everything with one command:
 
 ```bash
-# Restart just Nextcloud
-docker compose -f nextcloud/docker-compose.yml --env-file .env up -d
+# Start / restart all services
+docker compose --env-file .env up -d
 
-# View logs for Gitea
-docker compose -f gitea/docker-compose.yml --env-file .env logs -f
+# View logs for all services
+docker compose --env-file .env logs -f
 
 # Stop everything
-for svc in monitoring gitea nextcloud caddy; do
-  docker compose -f $svc/docker-compose.yml --env-file .env down
-done
+docker compose --env-file .env down
+```
+
+You can still target individual services via their compose file:
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f nextcloud/docker-compose.yml --env-file .env up -d
+docker compose -f gitea/docker-compose.yml --env-file .env logs -f
