+Running the UI Docker Service
+   - If you only want to run the Gradio web interface separately and connect it to an existing API service:
+      ```bash
+      docker run -p 7860:7860 \
+        -e API_HOST=<api-hostname-or-ip> \
+        -e API_PORT=8880 \
+        ghcr.io/remsky/kokoro-fastapi-ui:v0.1.0
+      ```
 
+     - Replace `<api-hostname-or-ip>` with:
+       - `kokoro-tts` if the UI container is running in the same Docker Compose setup.
+       - `localhost` if the API is running on your local machine.
+  
 ### Disabling Local Saving
 
 You can disable local saving of audio files and hide the file view in the UI by setting the `DISABLE_LOCAL_SAVING` environment variable to `true`. This is useful when running the service on a server where you don't want to store generated audio files locally.
