 It should no longer be necessary to run `usefulscripts/SetupNew.js`, since PegaSwitch will now do it automatically.
 
+## Through Docker
+### Building
+The container image is based on the official `nodejs:9.2` image.
+To build the docker container image simply run:
+
+`docker build -t reswitched/pegaswitch .`
+
+
+### Running
+To run the docker container container first you have to figure out your
+local network IP address.
+
+1. Run `ip a`
+2. Run `docker run -ti -p 53:53/udp -p 53:53 -p 80:80 -p 8100:8100 --env TERM --env IP_ADDR={your IP address from the prior command} reswitched/pegaswitch`
+
+If you fail to set the `IP_ADDR` variable the container will not start.
