+Hint for Linux: There are files here which get mounted as volumes inside
+Docker Compose containers.  This may trigger SELinux rules on your system, to
+permit access insider the containers, use a command like this...
+
+chcon -Rt svirt_sandbox_file_t grafana/ prometheus/
+
+The file vertexai/private.json is a placeholder for real GCP credentials if
+you are using the VertexAI LLM.  If you're using that in Docker Compose,
+replace with your real credentials, and don't forget to permit access if you
+are using Linux:
+
+chcon -Rt svirt_sandbox_file_t vertexai/
