+Docker image
+============
+
+Get Docker
+----------
+
+The first step is to download and install Docker on your platform.
+Refer to the following Docker documentation and choose the best installation
+path for you: `Get Docker <https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/>`_
+
+Build the Image
+---------------
+
+VulnerableCode is distributed with ``Dockerfile`` and ``docker-compose.yml`` files
+required for the creation of the Docker image.
+
+Clone the git `VulnerableCode repo <https://github.com/nexB/vulnerablecode>`_,
+create an environment file, and build the Docker image:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    git clone https://github.com/nexB/vulnerablecode.git && cd vulnerablecode
+    make envfile
+    docker-compose build
+
+.. note::
+
+    The image will need to be re-built when the VulnerableCode app source code is
+    modified or updated via
+    ``docker-compose build --no-cache vulnerablecode``
+
+Run the Image
+-------------
+
+Run your image as a container
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    docker-compose up
+
+
+At this point, the VulnerableCode app should be running at port ``8000`` on your Docker host.
+Go to http://localhost:8000/ on a web browser to access the web UI.
+Optionally, you can set ``NGINX_PORT`` environment variable in your shell or in the `.env` file to run on a different port than 8000.
+
+.. note::
+
+    To access a dockerized VulnerableCode app from a remote location, the ``ALLOWED_HOSTS``
+    setting need to be provided in your ``docker.env`` file::
+
+        ALLOWED_HOSTS=.domain.com,127.0.0.1
+
+    Refer to `Django ALLOWED_HOSTS settings <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#allowed-hosts>`_
+    for documentation.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   Serving VulnerableCode on a network could lead to security issues and there
+   are several steps that may be needed to secure such a deployment. 
+   Currently, this is not recommendend.
+
+
+Invoke the importers
+--------------------
+
+Connect to the Docker container ``bash``. 
+From here you can access ``manage.py`` and run management commands 
+to import data as specified in the `Data import <../README.rst#data-import>`_ section and run commands 
+for the importers from there
+
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    docker-compose exec vulnerablecode bash
+    ./manage.py import --list
+
+
