-### With docker
-
-You can easily launch site on localhost if you have `docker` and `docker-compose`.
-You don't have to setup dependencies (libsass, sglite, pcre, etc...) on you host PC.
-
-To get up and running:
-
-```bash
-cd docker
-docker-compose build
-docker-compose up
-```
-
-And you can access local NimForum site.
-Open http://localhost:5000 .
-
-# Troubleshooting
-
-You might have to run `nimble install karax@#5f21dcd`, if setup fails
-with:
-
-```
-andinus@circinus ~/projects/forks/nimforum> nimble --verbose devdb
-[...]
- Installing karax@#5f21dcd
-       Tip: 24 messages have been suppressed, use --verbose to show them.
-     Error: No binaries built, did you specify a valid binary name?

-     Error: Exception raised during nimble script execution
