+# Docker
+
+## Quickstart
+
+### Clone the repository
+
+```
+git clone git@github.com:input-output-hk/cardano-db-sync.git
+cd cardano-db-sync
+```
+### Start `cardano-node`, `postgresql`, and `cardano-db-sync` services using Docker
+
+``` console
+docker-compose up -d && docker-compose logs -f
+```
+### :tada
+
+The PostgreSQL database is exposed on localhost port `5432`
+
+### To connect to another network:
+```
+$ NETWORK=testnet docker-compose up && docker-compose logs -f
+```
+
+### Take control
+Excluding the `NETWORK` ENV will simply just call the `cardano-db-sync` or 
+`cardano-db-sync-extended` executable as the entrypoint, so you must pass a command and 
+arguments in this case to provide config at runtime. The `--schema-dir` argument is preset,
+so is not required.
+
+Using Docker run to demonstrate, but can be achieved using `docker-compose` too via 
+`service.command`
+```
+docker run \
+  -v $PWD/config/network/mainnet/cardano-db-sync:/config
+  -v $PWD/config/network/mainnet/genesis:/genesis
+  -v $PWD/node-ipc:/node-ipc \
+  inputoutput/cardano-db-sync \
+    run --config /config/config.yaml --socket-path /node-ipc/node.socket # command
+```
+
+## Build and load image using Nix
+
+```
+docker load -i $(nix-build -A dockerImage --no-out-link)
+```
