+# Docker Compose Plutus Playground Setup
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. Docker or Podman
+2. docker-compose or podman-compose
+3. A host system with at least:
+  a. 8 GB memory
+  b. 50 GB disk
+
+note: I will use `docker` here, but `podman` can be used in every instance you see `docker`, while `podman-compose` can be used instead of `docker-compose`.
+I use Fedora 33 where I can just run `sudo dnf install podman podman-compose` and be ready to rock n' roll.
+
+## Installation
+
+* Navigate to a directory of your choice and do
+
+```ssh
+git clone https://github.com/maccam912/ppp
+```
+
+* Navigate the new `ppp` folder
+
+```ssh
+cd ppp
+```
+
+* use `docker-compose` to build the images from the Dockerfiles
+
+```ssh
+docker-compose build
+```
+
+note: this step takes a long time, and uses up 50 GB or so. Let it run to completion.
+
+* When docker-compose is done, start up the playground!
+
+```ssh
+docker-compose up
+```
+
+You should now be able to connect to `https://localhost:8009` (_Note the S on HTTPS, this uses a self-signed certificate!_) and after accepting the warning, get to a playground!
+
+
+## Tips & Tricks
+
+I am running on Hetzner Cloud for a cheap 8 GB RAM instance. After the initial `docker-compose build` I made a snapshot I can restore from to shut down the instance and save money when I don't need the playground.
