+# RTL Docker Dev Setup
+
+### This is not suitable for production deployments. ONLY FOR DEVELOPMENT.
+
+This `docker-compose` template launches `bitcoind`, `lnd` and `rtl` containers.
+
+It is configured to run in **regtest** mode but can be modified to suit your needs.
+
+### Notes
+ - `bitcoind` is built from an Ubuntu repository and should not be used in production.
+ - `lnd` will not sync to chain until Bitcoin regtest blocks are generated (see below).
+ - `rtl` image is from the Docker Hub repository but you can change this to your needs.
+ - Various ports and configs can be adjusted in the `.env` or `docker-compose.yml` files.
+
+## How to run
+It may take several minutes if containers need to be built. From the terminal in this folder:
+
+```
+$ docker-compose up -d bitcoind
+$ bin/b-cli generate 101
+$ docker-compose up -d lnd rtl
+```
+
+Check containers are up and running with:
+```
+$ docker-compose ps
+```
+
+Use the cli tools to get responses from the containers:
+```
+$ bin/ln-cli getinfo
+$ bin/b-cli getblockchaininfo
+```
+
+View daemon logs as follows:
+```
+$ docker-compose logs bitcoind lnd rtl
+```
+
+Once the containers are running you can access the RTL UI at http://localhost:3000
+
+ - Default password is `changeme`.
+  - Default host, port and password can be changed in `.env`.
+
+When you are done you can destroy containers with:
+```
+$ docker-compose down -v
+```
