+## Docker
+
+To run `lndmanage` from a docker container:
+
+```sh
+# you should first review ./lndmanage/home/config_template.ini
+# note that paths are relevant to situation inside docker and we run under root
+# so $HOME directory is /root
+
+# build the container
+./build.sh 
+
+# if you have local lnd node on host machine, point LND_HOME to your actual lnd directory:
+export LND_HOME=~/.lnd
+
+# or alternatively if you have remote lnd node, specify paths to auth files explicitly:
+# export TLS_CERT_FILE=/path/to/tls.cert
+# export ADMIN_MACAROON_FILE=/path/to/admin.macaroon  
+# export LND_GRPC_HOST=<remoteip>:10009
+
+# look into _settings.sh for more details on container configuration
+
+# run lndmanage from the container: 
+./lndmanage.sh status
+
+# lndmanage cache will be mapped to host folder at ./_volumes/lndmanage-cache
+```

+To start from scratch:
