# Service deployment guide moved

Start with [Run Knowl as a service](service.md). Optional vectorization has its
own [search guide](search.md), shared by local and service deployments. The
repository keeps deployment assets under `deploy/sidecar/` for compatibility.

## What the container does

See [service storage and startup](service.md#build-and-run).

## Build and run

Follow the [current-source service quickstart](service.md#build-and-run).
Historical release recipes remain in [release history](releases/).

## Optional browser access

See [enable browser access](service.md#optional-browser-access) and the
[Web UI guide](web-ui.md).

## Optional CPU embeddings

See the [local embedding server](search.md#local-embedding-server) and
[embedding API configuration](search.md#configure-an-embedding-api).

## Health checks

See [health, persistence and shutdown](service.md#health-persistence-and-shutdown).

## Agent-side use

See [process and read a source](service.md#process-and-read-a-source).

## Connect an MCP client

See [connect an MCP client](service.md#connect-an-mcp-client).
