+Using Docker Compose is the fastest way to get up and running, and you will
+still be able to make web changes and have them appear in real-time. Direct
+installation is recommended for more advanced developers or those wishing to
+use a PostgreSQL they already have.

+The docker build process will take care of much of the above, but you just have
+to be sure that you're executing it from the project root.
+
+First, you need to build your image::
+
+    docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml build
+
+Then start the ``compose`` session::
+
+    docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up
+
+At this point, you should be able to see the Web UI at http://localhost:8000
+
+Once your session is up and running, you can make yourself a superuser account::
+
+    docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml exec web manage.py createsuperuser
+
+And you can run the tests inside your container::
+
+    docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml exec web pytest
+
+If you want to change the settings that Takahē is using, you can edit them
+near the top of the docker-compose file; the default set are designed for a
+local installation, though.
