+# Aurweb and Docker
+
+The `INSTALL` document details a manual Aurweb setup, but Docker images are also
+provided here to avoid the complications of database configuration (and so
+forth).
+
+### Setup
+
+Naturally, both `docker` and `docker-compose` must be installed, and your Docker
+service must be started:
+
+```sh
+systemctl start docker.service
+```
+
+The main image - `aurweb` - must be built manually:
+
+```sh
+docker compose build
+```
+
+### Starting and Stopping the Services
+
+With the above steps complete, you can bring up an initial cluster:
+
+```sh
+docker compose up
+```
+
+Subsequent runs will be done with `start` instead of `up`. The cluster can be
+stopped with `docker compose stop`.
+
+### Testing
+
+With a running cluster, execute the following in a new terminal:
+
+```sh
+docker compose run test
+```
+
+### Generating Dummy Data
+
+Before you can make meaningful queries to the cluster, it needs some data.
+Luckily such data can be generated. First, `docker ps` to discover the ID of the
+container running the FastAPI. Then:
+
+```sh
+docker exec -it <id> /bin/bash
+./scheme/gendummydata.py dummy.sql
+mysql aurweb < dummy.sql
+```
+
+The generation script may prompt you to install other Arch packages before it
+can proceed.
+
+### Querying the RPC
+
+The Fast (Python) API runs on Port 8444, while the legacy PHP version runs
+on 8443. You can query one like so:
+
+```sh
+curl -k "https://localhost:8444/rpc/?v=5&type=search&arg=python"
+```
+
+`-k` bypasses local certificate issues that `curl` will otherwise complain about.
