+## Docker instructions
+
+To run the Django Portal as a Docker container, you need a
+`settings_local.py` file which you can create from the
+`settings_local.py.sample` file. Then run the following:
+
+1. Build the Docker image.
+
+   ```
+   docker build -t airavata-django-portal .
+   ```
+
+2. Run the Docker container.
+
+   ```
+   docker run -d \
+     -v $PWD/django_airavata/settings_local.py.sample:/code/django_airavata/settings_local.py \
+     -p 8000:8000 airavata-django-portal
+   ```
+
+   But instead of `$PWD/django_airavata/settings_local.py.sample` you can
