+### Optional listen address override
+
+If you need to change which interface Hive services bind to, set `SERVER_HOST` (default `::`) and,
+if needed, `SERVER_HOST_IPV6_ONLY=1` to disable IPv4 fallback for the IPv6 wildcard host.
+
+For the bundled `docker-compose.community.yml`, keep `SERVER_HOST` as `::` or `0.0.0.0`.
+Loopback values such as `127.0.0.1`, `::1`, or `localhost` can make published ports and
+service-to-service communication unreachable. `SERVER_HOST_IPV6_ONLY=1` cannot be combined with an
+IPv4 literal host such as `0.0.0.0`.
+
+See the [Fastify listen reference](https://fastify.dev/docs/latest/Reference/Server/#listentextresolver)
+for full host resolution details.
