 # Quick start
 
-1.  [Download] pre-built binaries or build Pomerium from source.
-1.  Generate a wild-card certificate for a test domain like `corp.example.com`. For convenience, an included [script] can generate a free one using LetsEncrypt and [certbot].
 
-    Once complete, move the generated public and private keys (`cert.pem`/`privkey.pem`) next to the pomerium binary. Certificates can also be set as environmental variables or dynamically with a [KMS].
+## Using Docker
 
-1.  Next, set configure your [identity provider](./identity-providers.md) by generating an OAuth **Client ID** and **Client Secret** as well as setting a **Redirect URL** endpoint. The Redirect URL endpoint will be called by the identity provider following user authentication.
+* Install [docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/).
+* Install [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/).
+* Save Pomerium's example [`docker-compose.yml`]().
+* Inspect the `docker-compose.yml` file. In addition to specifying Pomerium's configuration settings, and services, you'll see that there are other included services to give you a feel for how pomerium works. 
+* Update the compose file with your [identity provider] settings. 
+* Copy your subdomain's wild-card TLS certificate next to the compose file. See included [script] to generate one from LetsEncrypt.
+* Run docker compose by runnig the command `$ docker-compose up`. 
+* If you navigate to `https://hello.corp.beyondperimeter.com` or `https://httpbin.corp.beyondperimeter.com` where "corp.beyondperimeter.com" is your subdomain in your browser, you should see something like the following in your browser and in your terminal. 
 
-1.  Pomerium is configured using [environmental variables]. A minimal configuration is as follows.
+![Getting started](./get-started.gif)
 
-    ```bash
-    # file : env
-    # The URL that the identity provider will call back after authenticating the user
-    export REDIRECT_URL="https://sso-auth.corp.example.com/oauth2/callback"
-    # Generate 256 bit random keys  e.g. `head -c32 /dev/urandom | base64`
-    export SHARED_SECRET=REPLACE_ME
-    export COOKIE_SECRET=REPLACE_ME
-    # Allow users with emails from the following domain post-fix (e.g. example.com)
-    export ALLOWED_DOMAINS=*
-    ## Identity Provider Settings
-    export IDP_PROVIDER="google"
-    export IDP_PROVIDER_URL="https://accounts.google.com" # optional for google
-    export IDP_CLIENT_ID="YOU_GOT_THIS_FROM_STEP-3.apps.googleusercontent.com"
-    export IDP_CLIENT_SECRET="YOU_GOT_THIS_FROM_STEP-3"
-    # key/value list of simple routes.
-    export ROUTES='http.corp.example.com=httpbin.org'
-    ```
-
-    You can also view the [env.example] configuration file for a more comprehensive list of options.
-
-1.  For a first run, I suggest setting the debug flag which provides user friendly logging.
-
-        ```bash
-        source ./env
-        ./pomerium -debug
-        ```
-
-1.  You should now get the following when you try to access one of your `corp` routes.
