+### Hosting with Docker
+
+A `Dockerfile` and `docker-compose.yml` are provided for self-hosting without Nix.
+
+**Quickstart**
+
+1. Copy the example config and edit it:
+
+   ```sh
+   mkdir config
+   cp docker/config.example.toml config/archivr-server.toml
+   # edit config/archivr-server.toml — set archive id, label, and archive_path
+   ```
+
+2. Create the archive directory on the persistent data volume before the first start:
+
+   ```sh
+   docker compose run --rm archivr mkdir -p /data/archives/main
+   ```
+
+3. Start the server:
+
+   ```sh
+   docker compose up -d
+   ```
+
+   Then open `http://localhost:8080`.
+
+**Volumes**
+
+| Mount | Purpose |
+|-------|---------|
+| `./config` (read-only) | Directory containing `archivr-server.toml` |
+| `archivr-data` named volume | Auth database and archive directories |
+
+**Twitter/X archiving**
+
+Supply a cookies file inside the config volume and set `ARCHIVR_TWITTER_CREDENTIALS_FILE` in `docker-compose.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+environment:
+  ARCHIVR_TWITTER_CREDENTIALS_FILE: /config/twitter-cookies.txt
+```
+
+**Building the image locally**
+
+```sh
+docker build -t archivr-server .
+```
+
+The image compiles the Rust binary in a separate build stage so only the runtime
+dependencies (Chromium, Node.js, Python) land in the final layer.
