+Docker is the easiest way to run Tracks, as the various library requirements have already been taken care of for you.
+
+You can run Tracks by installing Docker and launching a MySQL instance for example using
+
+$ docker run --name mariadb -t mariadb
+
+Create a database and a user for Tracks. Then build the Tracks image by running the following command in the Tracks repository root:
+
+$ docker build -t="tracks" .
+
+And then run an instance of the image using the following command (but replacing the database connection information appropriately)
+
+$ docker run -p 3000:3000 -e DATABASE_NAME=tracks_dev -e DATABASE_HOST=db -e DATABASE_PORT=5432 -e DATABASE_USERNAME=tracks_dev -e DATABASE_PASSWORD=password -e DATABASE_TYPE=mysql2 --name tracks --link mariadb:db -t tracks
+
+If all went to plan, you should now be able to reach Tracks in http://localhost:3000 .
