+### 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
+[...]
