-A graphical interface that runs on a RPI in the lobby of my dorm.
+See it live [here](https://jumpstart.csh.rit.edu)!
 
 ## Install
 
 This project uses [Python](http://nodejs.org), [Flask](https://npmjs.com), SQL, HTML/CSS, and Javascript. 
 
-1. Download the zip file and open the code.
-2. Navigate into the folder.
-3. Run `pip install -r requirements.txt`
-4. Run `flask run`
-5. DM @drno in CSH slack, or email for secrets package
+1. Clone and cd into the repo: `git clone https://github.com/ComputerScienceHouse/Jumpstart`
+2. Run `pip install -r requirements.txt`
+3. Ask opcomm for secrets
     - The secrets package follows the directory structure:
     src/
       secrets/
         client_secrets.json
-6. Results
+4. Run `flask --app jumpstart run`
+5. Results
 
-## Usage
+Jumpstart expects the following environment variables to be defined:
+```
+FLASK_APP=jumpstart:App
+JUMPSTART_API_KEYS=KEYS
+TZ=TIMEZONE
+SENTRY_DSN=LINK
+```
+## Docker
 
-Go [here](https://jumpstart.csh.rit.edu)
+1. Ensure you are in the project root, then build the image locally with `docker built -t jumpstart .`
+2. Run with the following: (Be sure to update env variables)
+```
+docker run \
+    -e FLASK_RUN_HOST=0.0.0.0 \
+    -e FLASK_APP=jumpstart:App \
+    -e JUMPSTART_API_KEYS=KEYS \
+    -e TZ=America/New_York \
+    -e SENTRY_DSN=LINK \
+    -e GUNICORN_CMD_ARGS="-b=0.0.0.0:5000" \
+    -v ./secrets:/usr/local/jumpstart/secrets \
+    -p 5000:5000 \
