  * Docker 1.10.0+
  * Compose 1.6.0+ _(optional)_
 
+## Up and Running
+
+Assuming you've just cloned this repository, the following steps 
+will get you up and running in no time!
+
+1. `mkdir -p data/{sentry,postgres}` - Make our local database and sentry config directories.
+    This directory is bind-mounted with postgres so you don't lose state!
+2. `docker-compose run web config generate-secret-key` - Generate a secret key.
+    Add it to `docker-compose.yml` in `base` as `SENTRY_SECRET_KEY`.
+3. `docker-compose run web upgrade` - Build the database.
+    Use the interactive prompts to create a user account.
+4. `docker-compose up -d` - Lift all services (detached/background mode).
+5. Access your instance at `localhost:9000`!
+
+Note that as long as you have your database bind-mounted, you should
+be fine stopping and removing the containers without worry.
+
+## Backing up postgres
+
+Following with the trend of containers, you could even add something like
+[this](https://github.com/InAnimaTe/docker-postgres-s3-archive) to 
+backup postgres to an AWS S3 bucket:
+
+```
+  postgresqlbackup:
+    image: inanimate/postgres-s3-archive:9.5
+    restart: always
+    links:
+        - postgres:postgres 
+    environment:
+        - "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=PUTACCESSIDHERE"
+        - "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=PUTSECRETKEYHERE"
+        - "BUCKET=s3://awesomebackupsbucket/sentry"
+        - "SYMMETRIC_PASSPHRASE=hahacanthaxme"
+        - "NAME_PREFIX=sentry-database-backup"
+        - "PGHOST=postgres"
+        - "PGPORT=5432"
+```
+
+This container runs `pgdump` to take snapshots of your database on a
+certain time frame. You could also use other backup facilities on the 
+host which you're running the containers.
+
+## Reverse Proxying (SSL/TLS)
+
+The absolute easiest way to get SSL/TLS protecting your Sentry server is
+to use [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/). Caddy will handle automatic
+SSL certificate obtainment and renewal from
+[Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) for you.
+
+Here is an example `Caddyfile` configuration:
+
+```
+sentry.example.net {
+    proxy / web:9000 {
+        transparent
+    }
+    tls {
+        max_certs 1
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The above would work with a caddy entry in `docker-compose.yml` like:
+
+```
+caddy:
+    image: abiosoft/caddy:0.9.3
+    restart: always
+    volumes:
+        - ./Caddyfile:/etc/Caddyfile
+        - ./caddydata:/root/.caddy
+    ports:
+        - "80:80"
+        - "443:443"
+    links:
+        - web
+
+```
+
