 ## Setup
+### with Docker
+The easiest way to set up ferdi-server on your server is with Docker.
+
+The Docker image can be run as is, with the default sqlite database or you can modifying your ENV variables to use an external database (e.g. MySQL, MariaDB, Postgres, etc). 
+After setting up the docker container we recommend you to set up an NGINX reverse proxy to access ferdi-server outside of your home network and protect it with an SSL certificate.
+
+1. Pull the Docker image
+
+    ```sh
+    docker pull getferdi/ferdi-server
+    ```
+2. Create a new Docker container with your desired configuration
+
+    ```sh
+    docker create \
+        --name=ferdi-server \
+        -e NODE_ENV=development \
+        -e DB_CONNECTION=<database> \
+        -e DB_HOST=<yourdbhost> \
+        -e DB_PORT=<yourdbPORT> \
+        -e DB_USER=<yourdbuser> \
+        -e DB_PASSWORD=<yourdbpass> \
+        -e DB_DATABASE=<yourdbdatabase> \
+        -e IS_CREATION_ENABLED=true \
+        -e CONNECT_WITH_FRANZ=true \
+        -p <port>:80 \
+        -v <path to data>:/config \
+        --restart unless-stopped \
+        getferdi/ferdi-server
+    ```
+
+    Alternatively, you can also use docker-compose v2 schemas
+
+    ```sh
+    ---
+    version: "2"
+    services:
+    ferdi-server:
+        image: xthursday/ferdi-server-docker
+        container_name: ferdi-server
+        environment:
+        - NODE_ENV=development
+        - DB_CONNECTION=<database>
+        - DB_HOST=<yourdbhost>
+        - DB_PORT=<yourdbPORT>
+        - DB_USER=<yourdbuser>
+        - DB_PASSWORD=<yourdbpass>
+        - DB_DATABASE=<yourdbdatabase>
+        - IS_CREATION_ENABLED=true/false
+        - CONNECT_WITH_FRANZ=true/flase  
+        volumes:
+        - <path to data>:/config
+        ports:
+        - <port>:80
+        restart: unless-stopped
+    ```
+3. Optionally, you can now [set up Nginx as a reverse proxy](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-node-js-application-for-production-on-ubuntu-16-04#set-up-nginx-as-a-reverse-proxy-server).
