+# Mirror databoxsystems from docker hub
+
+When running demos and hack days there can be issues with external network connectivity. Instilling databox and the SDK requires around 3GB per install.
+
+These scripts will let you quickly set up a local mirror and distribute the image locally to the participants.
+
+## Create a local mirror of the databox registry
+
+First chose the machine you wish to use as a mirror and run
+
+```
+    docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --restart always --name registry registry:2
+
+    then
+
+    ./mirror 127.0.0.1:500
+```
+
+This will seed all the needed image in to a local registry. Your participants should than be instructed to install databox using the instructions. But before running databox-start they should run
+
+```
+    ./scripts/scripts/registry/seedFromMirror [IP-AND-PORT-OF-YOUR-MIRROR]
+
+```
+
+This will pre populate their local image caches with the images required from your local registry.
