-===== Running =====+===== First Run =====
  
-For your first time running Synchronet (fresh install), you should prepare the directories for volume mounting.+For your first run, you may want to run the Synchronet Configuration Program 
 +(scfg) before you proceed to start any services.
  
-    sudo mkdir -p /sbbs/backup +    mkdir -p ~/sbbs 
-    sudo mkdir -p /sbbs/ctrl +    cd ~/sbbs 
-    sudo mkdir -p /sbbs/text +    docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD:/sbbs-data" bbsio/synchronet:latest scfg

-If upgrading from a previous run, you should pull the latest release.+This will create your sbbs storage directory inside your profile, and run the 
 +synchronet configuration program with that directory connected. This container 
 +is setup so that the data directories are initialized on first run of (''scfg'' or 
 +''sbbs'') if necessary.
  
-    docker pull bbsio/synchronet:latest 
  
 +===== Running =====
  
-From here, you can start sbbs:+The easiest way to get running is with docker-compose.
  
-    docker run -d --restart=unless-stopped \ +    mkdir ~/sbbs 
-      --name sbbs \ +    cd ~/sbbs 
-      -h sbbs \ +    wget -O docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bbs-io/synchronet-docker/master/docker-compose.yml

 ===== Volumes ===== ===== Volumes =====
  
-In order to better support portability, the following volume mounts are expected.  Most directories will be populated on first run.+In order to better support portability, you should mount your storage directory to ''/sbbs-data/'' inside the running container. Most directories will be populated on first run.
  
-  * `/backup` - location in order to generate/create backup scripts inside the container. +Under your ''/sbbs-data/'' directory, the following directories will be populated.
-    * `/defaults` - updated on first run, or updated versions, will container default directories from `/sbbs/` for reference. +
-  * `/sbbs/ctrl` - note: `text.dat` will be overwritten on updated versions. +
-  * `/sbbs/text` +
-  * `/sbbs/web` - not populated, copy files from `/backup/defaults/web-ecweb4` or `/backup/defaults/web-runemaster` +
-  * `/sbbs/data` +
-  * `/sbbs/fido` +
-  * `/sbbs/xtrn` - external programs, will populate directories that don't exist on first run or update +
-  * `/sbbs/mods` - your customizations, empty by default +
-  * `/sbbs/nodes` - shared nodes directory, not required if a single host is used.+
  
-===== Ports =====+  * ''backup/defaults/'' - will be initialized with the default build for synchronet on first run, or upgrade. 
 +  * ''ctrl/'' - note: ''text.dat'' will be overwritten on updated versions. 
 +  * ''data/'' - Synchronet's default data storage directory, includes file directories.
