+Deployment with Docker
+----------------------
+
+It is also possible to deploy the server using Docker.
+
+- First build the Docker Image.  From the server/scripts folder run::
+
+  $ docker build .
+
+- Find the id of the recently built image by running::
+
+  $ docker images
+
+- Use that id to launch the server::
+
+  $ docker run -d -p 8888:80 <id>
+
+This will run the docker container in the background, and translate calls from your host environment
+port 8888 to the docker container port 80. At that point you should be able to access it like a normal website.
