+# Support
+
+## How to get help
+
+- **GitHub Issues:** [Open an issue](https://github.com/OneByJorah/VoiceCortex/issues) for bugs and feature requests.
+- **Email:** [info@jorahone.com](mailto:info@jorahone.com) for private or time-sensitive matters.
+- **Discussions:** Use the [discussions board](https://github.com/OneByJorah/VoiceCortex/discussions) for usage questions and ideas.
+
+## What to include in a bug report
+
+- Repository and version/branch.
+- Operating system and runtime version (Python/Node/PowerShell as applicable).
+- Steps to reproduce.
+- Expected vs actual behavior.
+- Relevant logs or screenshots.
+
+## Self-hosting support
+
+These are self-hosted infrastructure tools. Support assumes you have basic familiarity with Docker, reverse proxies, and the relevant service protocols.
+
+- Run services behind a reverse proxy (Caddy/Nginx) with TLS.
+- Keep Tailscale/WireGuard as the preferred exposure model.
+- Rotate secrets and API keys regularly.
+- Bind services to localhost unless a reverse proxy handles TLS.
