+# Forewords
+
+In this simple setup, both flat-manager and postgres are alpine based to keep things small.
+A socket is shared between the containers for simplicity. This, however, won't work across machines.
+
+# Set up storage
+    POSTGRES_RUNDIR=/path/to/some/storage/postgres-run
+    POSTGRES_DB=/path/to/some/storage/postgres-db
+    FLATMAN_REPO=/path/to/some/storage/flatman-repo
+
+    mkdir -p $POSTGRES_RUNDIR
+    mkdir -p $POSTGRES_DB
+    mkdir -p $FLATMAN_REPO
+
+# Run postgres in one terminal
+    docker run --rm \
+        -v $POSTGRES_RUNDIR:/var/run/postgresql \
+        -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpasspassword \
+        -e POSTGRES_USER=flatmanager \
+        -e POSTGRES_DB=repo \
+        --name flat-manager-postgres postgres:alpine
+
+# Flat-manager
+## Build docker image
+    docker build --tag yourname/flat-manager:latest .
+## Run image
+    docker run --rm \
+        -v $FLATMAN_REPO:/var/run/flat-manager \
+        -v $POSTGRES_RUNDIR:/var/run/postgresql \
+        -p 8080:8080  yourname/flat-manager:latest
+
+At this point, you'll need to stop the container again and edit `$FLATMAN_REPO/config.js`. This is the unmodified default config. It would seem you need to tell `flat-manager` to listen on all interfaces to make forwarding work, namely:
+
+```json
+"host": "0.0.0.0",
+```
+
+When running `yourname/flat-manager:latest` again, you should be able to access http://localhost:8080/status from your browser.
