+# Installing Gekko using Docker
+
+Installing and running gekko in a docker container for use on the same machine is simple with the following commands:
+
+```
+$ docker-compose build
+$ docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+You can now find your gekko instance running on `localhost:3000`.
+
+## Installing for external access
+
+However if you want to run Gekko on another machine (in the cloud, on a server), you need to specify the host machine and its port like so:
+
+```
+$ docker-compose build
+$ HOST=mydomain.com PORT=3001 docker-compose up -d
+``` 
+
+You can now find your gekko instance running on `mydomain.com:3001`.
+
+If running behind an SSL-terminating proxy, make sure to set `USE_SSL=1` to tell the Gekko to use the HTTPS and WSS protocols instead of the default HTTP and WS protocols.
+
+To see logs: `docker logs -f gekko_gekko_1`. View which dockers are running by executing `docker ps`.
