+#### Docker
+
+To run LHASA with Docker, create the `.netrc` file at the root of the project, with following
+content:
+
+```plaintext
+machine urs.earthdata.nasa.gov login <uid> password <password>
+machine jsimpsonhttps.pps.eosdis.nasa.gov login <email> password <email>
+```
+
+Replace `<uid>`, `<password>` and `<email>` with your login credentials.
+Build the image:
+
+```bash
+docker compose build
+```
+
+Run LHASA with:
+
+```bash
+docker compose run --rm lhasa
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> You can pass arguments to LHASA. For example: `docker compose run --rm lhasa -icd 2 -scd 2 -t 4 -st 10`
+
+For convenience, the resulting files are written to `output/`, which is a volume accessible both on the host machine and the container.
+
 ### Routine operation
 
 Run [lhasa.sh](https://github.com/nasa/LHASA/blob/master/lhasa.sh) at the desired cadence, e.g. once per day.
