 # dockge
 
 Per-host [Dockge](https://dockge.kuma.pet/) — a lightweight web UI for
-the compose files in `/opt/docker/compose/`. Runs one instance on every
+managing the host's docker compose stacks. Runs one instance on every
 Docker host in the fleet.
 
+Default stacks root is `/opt/docker/compose/` (fleet convention).
+Hosts where `/opt/docker/` isn't writable by the deploying user
+override `DOCKGE_HOST_STACKS_ROOT` in their `.env` — corviduo-dev
+sets it to `/home/vh/docker` (vh lacks passwordless sudo on the
+worldtree-team-managed host; see `servers/corviduo-dev/README.md`).
