+If you need local infrastructure for TimescaleDB, Redis, and Loki, start them with Docker Compose before running the app:
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose.local-test.yml up -d
+docker compose -f docker-compose.local-test.yml ps
+```
+
+Default endpoints exposed by `docker-compose.local-test.yml`:
+
+- TimescaleDB: `127.0.0.1:5432`
+- Redis: `127.0.0.1:6379` (RedisInsight UI: `127.0.0.1:8001`)
+- Loki: `127.0.0.1:3100`
+
+Typical `.env` values for this local setup:
+
+```env
+PORTFOLIOHUB_DB_ENABLED=true
+TIMESCALEDB_HOST=127.0.0.1
+TIMESCALEDB_PORT=5432
+TIMESCALEDB_USER=portfolio_hub_user
+TIMESCALEDB_PASSWORD=change-me

+
+REDIS_HOST=127.0.0.1
+REDIS_PORT=6379
+
+LOKI_HOST=127.0.0.1
+LOKI_PORT=3100
+```
+
+To stop and remove the local containers:
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose.local-test.yml down
+```

 ## CLI
 
 The repository now includes a `portfoliohub` CLI that mirrors the main portfolio flows from `jsbot-kis`.
+The same commands are also available through the shorter alias `phub`.
