+To install Bifrost with Docker, you will need the following:
+
+1.  At least one zigbee2mqtt server to connect to
+2.  The MAC address of the network interface you want to run the server on
+3.  A running [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) instance
+    with [Docker-Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) installed
+4.  Have `git` installed to clone this repository
+
+When you have these things available, you can install Bifrost by running these commands:
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/chrivers/bifrost
+cd bifrost
+```
+
+Then rename or copy our `config.example.yaml`:
+
+```
+cp config.example.yaml config.yaml
+```
+
+And edit it with your favorite editor to your liking (see
+[configuration reference](doc/config-reference.md)).
+
+If you want to put your configuration file or the certificates Bifrost creates somewhere
+else, you also need to adjust the mount paths in the `docker-compose.yaml`. Otherwise,
+just leave the default values.
+
+Now you are ready to run the app with:
+
+```
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+This will build and then start the app on your Docker instance.
+
+To view the logs, use a tool like [Portainer](https://www.portainer.io/) or
+run the following command:
+
+```
+docker logs bifrost
