+# CatAsk on Docker (or Podman)
+
+## Prerequisites
+- Docker + `docker-compose` (or Podman + `podman-compose`)
+
+## Steps
+Before starting CatAsk, you must copy the configuration files to their proper places first:
+
+```sh
+cp config.example.json config.json
+cp .env.example .env
+```
+
+Then, paste this into the `.env` file, and replace sections that are marked with `[CHANGE THIS]`.
+
+```env
+DB_HOST = postgres
+DB_NAME = catask
+DB_USER = catask
+DB_PASS = catask
+DB_PORT = 5432
+ADMIN_PASSWORD = [CHANGE THIS]
+APP_SECRET = [CHANGE THIS]
+```
+
+You may now start CatAsk:
+
+```sh
+docker compose up
+```
+
+If you have done everything correctly, going to `http://localhost:8000` in your browser should show a question box screen. You may now log in with your admin password, and configure the instance.
+
+## Updating
+
+1. Stop the Docker container
+
+```sh
+docker compose down
+```
+
+2. Follow the [`UPDATE.md`](./UPDATE.md) file to see what to add or remove to your `config.json` or `.env`.
+
+3. Remove the Docker image
+
+```sh
+docker rmi catask_catask
+```
+
+4. Restart CatAsk
+
+```sh
+docker compose up
+```
