 # Installation of Part-DB via docker
 
+Part-DB can be installed containerized via docker. This is the easiest way to get Part-DB up and running and works on all platforms,
+where docker is available (especially recommended for Windows and MacOS).
+
+
 {: .warning }
 > The methods described here, configure PHP without HTTPS and therefore should only be used locally in a trusted network.
 > If you want to expose Part-DB to the internet, you have to configure a reverse proxy with an SSL certificate!
 
 ## Docker-compose
-Part-DB can be installed via docker. A pre-built docker image is available under [jbtronics/part-db1](https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/jbtronics/part-db1/).
-In the moment the master tag should be used (which is built from the latest commits in the master branch), as no tagged releases are available yet.
+Docker-compose configures the needed images and automatically creates the needed containers and volumes.
+
 
-The easiest way to use it is to use the docker-compose.yml available [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Part-DB/Part-DB-symfony/master/docs/docker/docker-compose.yaml):
 1. Install docker and docker-compose like described under https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/
 2. Create a folder where the Part-DB data should live
-3. Download docker-compose.yml and move it to the folder created above
+3. Create a file named docker-compose.yaml with the following content:

 ## Direct use of docker image
 You can use the `jbtronics/part-db1:master` image directly. You have to expose the port 80 to a host port and configure volumes for `/var/www/html/uploads` and `/var/www/html/public/media`.
