 # stentor-proxy
 📣 Route 53 and API Gateway are currently incompatible so this is used as a temporary solution until they make them sing in key.
+
+# Administrative stuff
+
+This uses Docker to create the containers for each proxy.  A base image can be created from the `Dockerfile` located in the project root. Then region specific images can be created with the `Dockerfile` found in the `regional` directory. The `Dockerfile` found in the `regional` directory is expecting an image tagged with `xappmedia/proxy`.
+
+
+
+Example:
+
+### Base build:
+```
+docker build -t xappmedia/proxy .
+```
+
+### Regional build:
+
+```
+docker build -t xappmedia/proxy/us-east-1 --build-arg domain=<regional_domain> ./regional
+```
+
+The docker images can be tested by:
+
+```
+docker run -p 8080:8080 -d xappmedia/proxy/us-east-1
+curl -i localhost:8080
+
+*** output ***
+"us-east-1"
+```
