-# Dockerized
+# Docker workflow for DTaaS
 
-This readme will explain the different docker files
-and what the purpose of those are.
+This readme will explain the building and use of different docker files
+for use in development and installation of the DTaaS software.
+
+**NOTE**: A local docker and docker-compose installation is a pre-requisite
+for using docker workflows.
 
 ## Folder Structure
 
+There are two dockerfiles for building the containers:
+
 - **client.dockerfile**: Dockerfile for building
   the client application container.
 
 - **libms.dockerfile**: Dockerfile for building the library microservice container.
 
+There are also two compose files for development and local installation scenarios.
+
 - **compose.dev.yml:** Docker Compose configuration for development environment.
 
-- **compose.local.yml:** Docker Compose configuration for local installation.
+- **compose.local.yml:** Docker Compose configuration for localhost installation.
 
-## Running Docker Containers
+## Build and Publish Docker Images
 
-Follow these steps to set up and run the application with docker.
+### Users
 
-### Prerequisites
+Build and publish the docker images. This step is required only for
+the publication of images to Docker Hub. This publishing step is managed
+only by project maintainers. Regular users can skip this step.
 
-- Docker: Install Docker on your machine.
+```sh
+docker login -u <username> -p <password>
+docker build -t intocps/libms:latest -f ./docker/libms.dockerfile .
+docker tag intocps/libms:latest intocps/libms:version
+docker push intocps/libms:latest
+docker push intocps/libms:version
+
+docker build -t intocps/dtaas-web:latest -f ./docker/client.dockerfile .
+docker tag intocps/dtaas-web:latest intocps/dtaas-web:version
+docker push intocps/dtaas-web:latest
+docker push intocps/dtaas-web:version
+```
 
-### Build Docker Images
+To tag version 0.3.1 for example, use
 
-Navigate to the `/docker` folder in your terminal and build the Docker images.
-**NB:** the docker images only needs to be build when using **development** environment.
+```sh
+docker tag intocps/dtaas-web:latest intocps/dtaas-web:0.3.1
+```
+
+### Developers
+
+Use of docker images is handy for developers as well. It is suggested
+that developers build the required images locally on their computer and
+use them for development purposes. The images can be built using
 
 ```sh
 docker-compose -f compose.dev.yml build
 ```
 
-### Run Docker Compose
+## Running Docker Containers
 
-For development environment:
+Follow these steps to use the application with docker.
+
+The DTaaS application requires multiple configuration files. The list of
+configuration files to be modified are given for each scenario.
+
+### Development Environment
+
+This scenario is for software developers:
+
+The configuration files to be updated are:
+
+1. client/config/dev.js
+2. deploy/config/lib.docker
+3. servers/config/gateway/auth
+
+The relevant docker commands are:
 
 ```bash
-docker-compose -f compose.dev.yml up -d
+docker-compose -f compose.dev.yml up -d #start the application
+docker-compose -f compose.dev.yml down  #terminate the application
 ```
 
-For local environment:
+### Localhost Use
+
+This scenario is for users interested in using the software on
+their computers (localhost):
+
+The configuration files to be updated are:
+
+1. deploy/config/client/env.local.js
+2. deploy/config/lib.docker
+3. deploy/config/gateway/auth
+
+The relevant docker commands are:
 
 ```bash
-docker-compose -f compose.local.yml up -d
+docker-compose -f compose.local.yml up -d #start the application
+docker-compose -f compose.local.yml down  #terminate the application
 ```
