### About
-- [Docker](https://www.docker.io/) is an open source project to pack, ship and run any Linux application in a lighter weight, faster container than a traditional virtual machine.
+- [Docker](https://docker.com/) is an open source project to pack, ship and run any Linux application in a lighter weight, faster container than a traditional virtual machine.
- Docker makes it much easier to deploy [a Discourse forum](https://github.com/discourse/discourse) on your servers and keep it updated. For background, see [Sam's blog post](http://samsaffron.com/archive/2013/11/07/discourse-in-a-docker-container).
- The templates and base image configure Discourse with the Discourse team's recommended optimal defaults.

-### IMPORTANT: Before You Start
-
-1. Make sure you're running a **64 bit** version of either [Ubuntu 12.04 LTS](http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/), or [Ubuntu 14.04 LTS](http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/).
-1. Upgrade to the [latest version of Docker](http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/installation/ubuntulinux/).
-1. Create a directory for Discourse Docker (the expected path is `/var/docker`): `install -g docker -m 2775 -d /var/docker`
-1. Run the docker installation and launcher as **root** or a member of the **docker** group.
-1. Add your user account to the docker group: `usermod -a -G docker yourusername` and re-login.
-
-If you do not do any of the above, as RoboCop once said, ["there will be… trouble."](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxarhampSNI) *Please double check the above list before proceeding!*

### Getting Started
-The simplest way to get started is the **standalone** template:
-
-1. **Clone** this project from github into `/var/docker` on your server: `git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker.git /var/docker`
-2. **Copy** the standalone sample into the containers directory: `cp samples/standalone.yml containers/app.yml`
-3. **Edit** `containers/app.yml` with your environment specific information
- - [bindings](#expose)
- - [volumes](#volumes)
-4. **Bootstrap** the image: `sudo ./launcher bootstrap app`
-5. **Start** the image: `sudo ./launcher start app`
+The simplest way to get started is via the **standalone** template, which can be installed in 30 minutes or less. For detailed install instructions, see
-Note: you can add yourself to the Docker group if you wish to avoid `sudo` with `usermod -aG docker <your-user-name>`.

### Directory Structure
#### `/samples`
-Sample container definitions you may use to bootstrap your environment. You can copy and amend templates here into the containers directory.

-Dockerfile for both the base image `samsaffron/discourse_base` and discourse image `samsaffron/discourse`.

The Docker repository will always contain the latest built version at: https://index.docker.io/u/samsaffron/discourse/ , you should not need to build the base image.
The base directory contains a single bash script which is used to manage containers. You can use it to "bootstrap" a new container, ssh in, start, stop and destroy a container.

Commands:
start: Start/initialize a container
stop: Stop a running container
restart: Restart a container
destroy: Stop and remove a container
+ enter: Use nsenter to enter a container
ssh: Start a bash shell in a running container
logs: Docker logs for container
+ mailtest: Test the mail settings in a container
bootstrap: Bootstrap a container for the config based on a template
+ rebuild: Rebuild a container (destroy old, bootstrap, start new)

### Container Configuration
The beginning of the container definition will contain 3 "special" sections:
The Docker setup gives you multiple upgrade options:
-1. Use the front end at http://yoursite.com/admin/docker to upgrade an already running image.

-2. Create a new base image by running:
- - `./launcher destroy my_image`
- - `./launcher bootstrap my_image`
- - `./launcher start my_image`
+2. Create a new base image manually by running:
+ - `./launcher rebuild my_image`
### Single Container vs. Multiple Container
Spawn a shell inside your container using `./launcher enter my_container`. This is the most foolproof method if you have host root access.

Behind a proxy network with no direct access to the Internet? Add proxy information to the container environment by adding to the existing `env` block in the `container.yml` file:
