 ## Project Setup
 
+There are currently two ways in which we can make the setup of the project, one would be running the whole setup with docker, and the other running everything but the backend project with docker.
+
+### Running the whole setup with docker
+You only need to install [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) and [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/). To start the containers, run `docker-compose up`, and the -d flag if you want to run it in detached mode.
+Once the containers are running, you can go to `http://localhost:8080/docs` to see the API documentation.
+If you want to interact with the project container terminal you can run the command `docker-compose exec backend bash` and then run e.g `npm run test`
+
+
+### Running only the db and Redis with docker
 * Install Node 20.9.0 (as documented on [`.node-version`](./.node-version))
 * Install the appropriate version of npm: `npm i -g [email protected]`
 * Install packages with `npm install`
 * Create a new `.env` file using the `.env.example` as an example. for that run `$ cp .env.example .env`.
 * Set the variables in the new environment file `.env` you created above.
-* Start the redis container with `docker-compose up redis-server`
+* Start the db and redis container with `docker-compose up db redis-server`
 * Start the project with `npm start`

 ## Docker Configuration
 A [`Dockerfile`](./Dockerfile) has been added to this project. The main reason to use Docker is to generate a production build, it is not intended for use for development.
-In fact, the Dockerfile has instructions only for generating the production-ready build. This is a multi-stage build that will build the project, run the migrations, and then run the server only with production dependiencies.

 ### BullMQ worker
 * To add a new worker we just need to create a `new Worker()` object in the worker folder and pass a queue name to pick up tasks from.
