+# Docker Based Developer Installation Guide
+
+## Installing Docker, Docker Compose and Node.js
+
+We will use Docker to run all the services needed for Redash, except for Node.js
+which we will run locally.
+
+1. [Install Docker and Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/).
+2. [Install Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) (v6 or later is recommended, can be installed with Homebrew on OS/X)
+
+## Setup
+
+### Create Docker Services
+Once you have the above setup, you need to create the Docker services:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose up
+```
+
+This will build the Docker images and fetch some prebuilt images and then start the services
+(Redash web server, worker, PostgreSQL and Redis). You can refer to the `docker-compose.yml`
+file to see the full configuration.
+
+### Install npm Packages
+
+```bash
+npm install
+```
+
+### Create Database
+
+```bash
+# Create tables
+docker-compose run --rm server create_db
+
+# Create database for tests
+docker-compose run --rm postgres psql -h postgres -U postgres -c "create database tests"
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Run webpack Dev Server
+
+Once all Docker services are running (can be started either by `docker-compose up` or
+`docker-compose start`), Redash is available at `http://localhost:5000/`.
+
+To work on the frontend code, you need to use the webpack dev server, which you start with:
+
+```bash
+npm run start
+```
+
+Now the dev server is available at `http://localhost:8080`. It rebuilds the frontend
+code when you change it and refreshes the browser. All the API calls are proxied to
+`localhost:5000` (the server running in Docker).
+
+### Restarting Celery Workers
+
+The Web server will restart on code changes, but the Celery workers won't. To restart
+the Celery workers run:
+
+```
+docker-compose restart worker
+```
+
+(or just stop `docker-compose up` and run it again)
+
+### Installing new Python packages (requirements.txt)
+
+If you pulled a new version with new packages or added some yourself, you will need to
+rebuild the `server` and `worker` images:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose rebuild worker
+docker-compose rebuild server
+```
+
+### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+docker-compose run --rm server tests
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+TBD.

-## Installing Dependencies
+## Setup
 
-### PostgreSQL & Redis
-
-Refer to the documentation of Python, PostgreSQL, Redis and Node.js on how to install
-them in your environment. On macOS, you can use `brew` to install them. On Linux
-you can use your package manager, although need to make sure it installs recent
-enough versions.
-
-### Python Packages
-
-For development the minimum required packages to install are described in:
-
-* requirements.txt
-* requirements_dev.txt
-
-You install them with pip:
-
-```bash
-pip install -r requirements.txt -r requirements_dev.txt
-```
-
-(We recommend installing them in a virtualenv)
-
-### Node.js Packages
-
-Install all packages with:
-
-```bash
-npm install
-```
-
-## Configuration
-
-For development, in most cases the default configuration is enough. But if you need
-to adjust the database configuration, mail settings or any [other setting](../setup/settings-environment-variables.md),
-you do so with environment variables.
-
-To avoid having to export those variables manually, you can use a `.env` file and
-the `bin/run` helper script. By invoking any command with `bin/run` prefix, it will
-load your environment variables from the `.env` file and then run your command. For
-example:
-
-```bash
-bin/run ./manage.py check_settings
-```
-
-## Creating Database Tables
-
-TBD
-
-## Processes
-
-The main Redash processes you have to run:
-
-* Web server
-* Celery worker(s) & scheduler
-
-In development you will also run Webpack's dev server or watch utility.
-
-Our recommendation:
-
-* Web server: `bin/run ./manage.py runserver --debugger --reload`
-* Celery: `./bin/run celery worker --app=redash.worker --beat -Qscheduled_queries,queries,celery -c2`
-* Webpack dev server: `npm run start`
-
-This will result in a Flask web server listening on port `5000`, Webpack dev server
-on port `8080` and 2 Celery workers ready to run queries.
-
-To open the app in your web browser, use Webpack's dev server -- `localhost:8080`,
-which will auto reload and refresh whenever you make changes to the frontend code.
-
-## Running Tests
-
-Currently we currently have tests only for the backend code. To run them invoke:
-
-```bash
-make test
-```
