 This repo contains a Dockerfile to run and set up an insight explorer for the Zcash blockchain.
+
+To build the image run:
+
+`docker build -t ianamunoz/zcash-insight-explorer:v1.1.1 .`
+
+* Note that this build will pull in all the parameters so it is a bit heavy at 2.48GB. It will require some bandwidth and beware of your /var/lib directory if you have a default docker install.
+
+To run locally without to test operation run:
+
+```
+docker run -d \
+-p 80:3001 \
+ianamunoz/zcash-insight-explorer:v1.1.1
+```
+
+The `docker-service.sh` file shows you might might manually run it as a service behind a traefik reverse proxy as seen for example in the `docker-compose.yml`.
