+## Using Docker
+
+You need to build a docker image with the dependecies installed.
+
+``` bash
+docker build -t video-quickstart-js .
+```
+
+Once the image is created, you can run the container by running the `docker run` command. Replace the
+variables `$HOST_PORT`, `$PORT`.
+
+``` bash
+ docker run -it --rm \
+ -p $HOST_PORT:$PORT \
+ --env-file .env \
