+# Docker Compose for Bufstream
+
+This directory contains an example `docker-compose.yml` file that sets up all required infrastructure for a [Bufstream][bufstream] environment suitable for local testing and development.
+
+To get started, just run:
+
+```
+$ docker compose up
+```
+
+## Services
+
+This Compose project will start the following services:
+
+- MinIO (https://min.io/) for S3 compatible storage.
+  * Its API endpoint is available at http://localhost:9000.
+  * Its admin endpoint is available at http://localhost:9001.
+- A MinIO Client (mc - https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/reference/minio-mc.html) to bootstrap an initial bucket.
+- PostgreSQL (https://www.postgresql.org/) for metadata storage.
+  * It is available on the standard Postgres port (5432).
+- A Bufstream broker.
+  * Its Kafka endpoint is available at localhost:9092.
+  * Its admin endpoint listens on its default port (9089), allowing you to run [`bufstream admin`](https://buf.build/docs/bufstream/reference/cli/admin/) commands against the broker.
+
+## Volumes
+
+When this Compose project starts, it will create two directories:
+
+1. `minio`: A volume used by the `minio` service for object storage.
+2. `postgres`: A volume used by the `postgres` service for its database storage.
+
+Before committing this `docker-compose.yml` file to your own repository, add these to your `.gitignore`.
+
+## Networks
+
+This example uses host networking. You may encounter issues if there are port conflicts. If you need to use port mappings, see [Docker's documentation](https://docs.docker.com/compose/how-tos/networking/).
