+### Using Testcontainers
+
+Import the `EventSourcingDbContainer` class, create an instance, call the `start` function to run a test container, get a client, run your test code, and finally call the `stop` function to stop the test container:
+
+```typescript
+import { EventSourcingDbContainer } from 'eventsourcingdb';
+
+const container = new EventSourcingDbContainer();
+await container.start();
+
+const client = container.getClient();
+
+// ...
+
+await container.stop();
+```
+
+To check if the test container is running, call the `isRunning` function:
+
+```typescript
+const isRunning = container.isRunning();
+```
+
+#### Configuring the Container Instance
+
+By default, `EventSourcingDbContainer` uses the `latest` tag of the official EventSourcingDB Docker image. To change that, call the `withImageTag` function:
+
+```typescript
+const container = new EventSourcingDbContainer()
+  .withImageTag('1.0.0');
+```
+
+Similarly, you can configure the port to use and the API token. Call the `withPort` or the `withApiToken` function respectively:
+
+```typescript
+const container = new EventSourcingDbContainer()
+  .withPort(4000)
+  .withApiToken('secret');
+```
+
+#### Configuring the Client Manually
+
+In case you need to set up the client yourself, use the following functions to get details on the container:
+
+- `getHost()` returns the host name.
+- `getMappedPort()` returns the port.
+- `getBaseUrl()` returns the full URL of the container.
+- `getApiToken()` returns the API token.
