 ### 🐳 Docker compose
 
 The docker compose file orchestrates the Orpheus-FastAPI for audio and a llama.cpp inference server for the base model token generation. The GGUF model is downloaded with the model-init service.
+There are two versions, one for machines that have access to GPU support `docker-compose-gpu.yaml` and one for CPU support only: `docker-compose-cpu.yaml`

 cp .env.example .env # Create your .env file from the example

 Then start the services:

+For GPU support run
 ```bash
-docker compose up --build
+docker compose -f docker-compose-gpu.yml up
+```
+
+For CPU support run:
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose-cpu.yml up
 ```
 
 The system will automatically download the specified model from Hugging Face before starting the service.
