+# Installing Iceshrimp with Docker
+
+This guide is based on `docker compose`/Docker Compose v2, but `docker-compose`/Docker Compose v1 will work as well.
+
+## Preparations
+
+### Getting needed files
+
+Run `git clone https://iceshrimp.dev/iceshrimp/iceshrimp` <!--but if you are not planning on building your own image, just grabbing `.config` and `docker-compose.yml.example` from the repo will suffice.-->
+
+### docker-compose.yml
+
+First, run `cp docker-compose.yml.example docker-compose.yml`, and edit `docker-compose.yml` if
+- you want to build the image yourself or choose a [different tag](https://iceshrimp.dev/iceshrimp/-/packages/container/iceshrimp/versions), and/or
+- you want a search engine for better search performance and/or a cache server for better antenna handling.
+
+### .config
+
+Run `cp .config/docker_example.env .config/docker.env`, and edit `.config/docker.env` and fill it with the database credentials you want.  
+Run `cp .config/example-docker.yml .config/default.yml`, and edit `.config/default.yml` 
+- Replace example database credentials with the ones you entered in `.config/docker.env`
+- Change other configuration
+- Optionally, set up the search engine and cache server, if you have chosen to set them up.
+
+## Installation and first start
+
+Choose a method, whether you chose to build the image yourself or not.  
+Note: Ctrl-C will shut down Iceshrimp gracefully.
+
+### Pulling the image
+
+```sh
+docker compose pull
+docker compose up
+```
+
+### Building the image
+
+Depending on your machine specs, this can take well over 30 minutes
+```sh
+docker compose build
+docker compose up
+```
+
+## Starting Iceshrimp automatically
+
+Run `docker compose up -d` and Iceshrimp will start automatically on boot.
+
+## Updating Iceshrimp
+
+### Pulling the image
+
+```sh
+docker compose pull
+docker compose down
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+### Building the image
+
+```sh
+## Run git stash commands only if you have uncommitted changes
+git stash
+git pull
+git stash pop
+docker compose build
+docker compose down
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+## Post-install
+
+See [post-install](post-install.md).
