+# docker-compose.yml – Hermes Agent + vLLM (Qwen3-14B-AWQ)
+# Host: Cortex (eigenständiger Server, 2x RTX 3060 12GB)
+#
+# Beide Services laufen im selben Docker-Netz "cortex-net" auf diesem Host.
+# Hermes spricht vLLM intern über http://vllm:8000/v1 an – kein extra
+# Netzwerk-Routing nötig, alles lokal auf Cortex.
