+# Excalibur: Docker
+This is the Docker configuration which allows you to run Excalibur without installing any dependencies on your machine!<br/>
+OK, any except `docker`.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+As stated, the thing you need is `docker`.
+
+Follow the instructions on [Install Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/) for your environment if you haven't got `docker` already.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Prepare the image
+
+Switch to `docker` directory here and run `docker build -t excalibur .` (don't forget the final `.`) to build your docker image. That may take some time but is only required once. Or perhaps a few times after you tweak something in a `Dockerfile`.
+
+After the process is finished you have a `excalibur` image, that will be the base for your experiments. You can confirm that looking on results of `docker images` command.
+
+### Run the container
+
+From your project folder, run `docker run -it -p 5000:5000 -v $(pwd):/excalibur/ excalibur /bin/bash`
+This will start the container and open up a bash console inside it.
+
+At this point you need to initialize the metadata database using:
+
+<pre>
+$ excalibur initdb
+</pre>
+
+Once initialized, you need to enable connectivity from outside the container:
+
+Use nano to open the config file ...
+
+<pre>
+$ nano /root/excalibur/excalibur.cfg
+</pre>
+
+... and modify the [webserver] section as:
+
+<pre>
+web_server_host = 0.0.0.0
+</pre>
+
+And then start the webserver using:
+
+<pre>
+$ excalibur webserver
+</pre>
+
+That's it! Now you can go to http://localhost:5000 and start extracting tabular data from your PDFs.
