Migrate to Docker Compose with PostgreSQL

- Created docker-compose.yml with 4 services:
  - postgres: PostgreSQL 16 database with persistent volume
  - redis: Redis 7 message broker
  - app: Flask web application (port 5000)
  - celery: Celery worker for async downloads
- Created Dockerfile with Python 3.14, FFmpeg, and uv
- Added psycopg2-binary dependency for PostgreSQL driver
- Updated database.py to use DATABASE_URL environment variable
  - Supports PostgreSQL in production
  - Falls back to SQLite for local development
- Updated celery_app.py to use environment variables:
  - CELERY_BROKER_URL and CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND
- Created .env.example with all configuration variables
- Created .dockerignore to optimize Docker builds
- Updated .gitignore to exclude .env and Docker files
- Updated CLAUDE.md with comprehensive Docker documentation:
  - Quick start with docker-compose commands
  - Environment variable configuration
  - Local development setup instructions
  - Service architecture overview

All services have health checks and automatic restart configured.
Start entire stack with: docker-compose up

 ## Project Overview
 
-`yottob` is a Flask-based web application for processing YouTube RSS feeds with SQLAlchemy ORM persistence and async video downloads. The project provides both a REST API and CLI interface for fetching and parsing YouTube channel feeds, with filtering logic to exclude YouTube Shorts. All fetched feeds are automatically saved to a SQLite database for historical tracking. Videos can be downloaded asynchronously as MP4 files using Celery workers and yt-dlp.

All fetched feeds are automatically saved to a PostgreSQL database for historical tracking. Videos can be downloaded asynchronously as MP4 files using Celery workers and yt-dlp.
 
-## Development Setup
+The application is containerized with Docker and uses docker-compose to orchestrate multiple services: PostgreSQL, Redis, Flask web app, and Celery worker.
+
+## Quick Start with Docker Compose (Recommended)
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+- Docker and Docker Compose installed
+- No additional dependencies needed
+
+**Start all services:**
+```bash
+# Copy environment variables template
+cp .env.example .env
+
+# Start all services (postgres, redis, app, celery)
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# View logs
+docker-compose logs -f
+
+# Stop all services
+docker-compose down
+
+# Stop and remove volumes (deletes database data)
+docker-compose down -v
+```
+
+**Run database migrations (first time setup or after model changes):**
+```bash
+docker-compose exec app alembic upgrade head
+```
+
+**Access the application:**
+- Web API: http://localhost:5000
+- PostgreSQL: localhost:5432
+- Redis: localhost:6379
+
+## Development Setup (Local Without Docker)
 
 This project uses `uv` for dependency management.

+## Docker Compose Services
+
+The application consists of 4 services defined in `docker-compose.yml`:

+1. **postgres**: PostgreSQL 16 database with persistent volume
+2. **redis**: Redis 7 message broker for Celery
+3. **app**: Flask web application (exposed on port 5000)
+4. **celery**: Celery worker for async video downloads
+
+All services have health checks and automatic restarts configured.

 ## Dependencies
 
 - **Flask 3.1.2+**: Web framework
 - **feedparser 6.0.12+**: RSS/Atom feed parsing
 - **SQLAlchemy 2.0.0+**: ORM for database operations
+- **psycopg2-binary 2.9.0+**: PostgreSQL database driver
 - **Alembic 1.13.0+**: Database migration tool
 - **Celery 5.3.0+**: Distributed task queue for async jobs
