+## Development
+
+### CI/CD
+
+This repository includes a GitHub Actions workflow that automatically builds and publishes Docker images:
+
+- **Trigger**: Automatically runs on push to `main` branch and on version tags (e.g., `v1.0.0`)
+- **Image name**: `cloud-server`
+- **Tags**: 
+  - `latest` tag for main branch pushes
+  - Semantic version tags (e.g., `1.0.0`, `1.0`) for version tag pushes
+
+To enable Docker Hub publishing, configure the following repository secrets:
+- `DOCKER_USERNAME`: Your Docker Hub username
+- `DOCKER_PASSWORD`: Your Docker Hub password or access token
+
+And set this repository variable:
+- `DOCKER_ENABLED`: Set to `true` to enable Docker Hub publishing
+
+The workflow will build the Docker image on every push and only push to Docker Hub if the `DOCKER_ENABLED` variable is set to `true`.
