-## Install
-
-Three ways to run — pick what fits your stack:
-
-### Docker (fastest)
+## Installation
 
 ```bash
 docker pull ghcr.io/fluidifyai/regen:latest
 ```
 
-Need the full stack? One command:
-
-```bash
-curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FluidifyAI/Regen/main/docker-compose.yml
-docker-compose up -d
-```
-
-Open **http://localhost:8080** — API and UI are ready. No configuration required to start receiving alerts.
-
-### Docker Compose (recommended for self-hosting)
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/FluidifyAI/Regen.git
-cd Regen
-cp .env.example .env   # edit as needed
-docker-compose up -d
-```
-
-### Kubernetes (Helm)
-
-```bash
-helm repo add fluidify https://charts.fluidify.ai
-helm repo update
-helm install fluidify-regen fluidify/fluidify-regen \
-  --set ingress.host=incidents.your-domain.com \
-  --set postgresql.auth.password=<strong-password>
-```
