+## Getting Started With docker-compose
+
+#### Create zcashd direcotries
+
+Decide where you want to store (or refence existing ) zcashd data.
+
+For example, create 2 new directories:
+
+```
+sudo mkdir -p /srv/zcashd/.zcash
+sudo mkdir -p /srv/zcashd/.zcash-params
+```
+
+Make uid `2001` owner of the directories. This is the uid of user `zcashd` runs as.
+
+```
+sudo chown -R 2001 /srv/zcashd/.zcash
+sudo chown -R 2001 /srv/zcashd/.zcash-params
+```
+
+#### Create .env from .env.exmaple
+
+```
+cp .env.exmaple .env
+```
+
+Edit `.env` if you have any specific changes.
+
+#### Start docker-compose
+
+Start with
+```
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+Check that everything started
+```
+$ docker-compose ps
+              Name                            Command               State                         Ports

+zcashdexporter_zcashd_exporter_1   zcashd_exporter --rpc.host ...   Up      0.0.0.0:9100->9100/tcp  
+```
+
+### Check status
+
+zcashd
+```
+docker logs zcashdexporter_zcashd_1
+```
+
+zcashd_exporter
+```
+docker logs zcashdexporter_zcashd_exporter_1
+```
+
+If that's looking good, check `prometheus` for metric collection
+
+http://localhost:9090/targets
+
+![Prometheus Targets](docs/images/prometheus_targets.png)
+
+If that looks good too, start querying
+
+http://localhost:9090/graph
+
+Start typing and metric names will auto-suggest
