+# Docker
+
+We don't do anything non-standard with Docker.
+
+Configuration of the Docker container is defined in the docker-compose files, found in `conf/compose/SERVICE.docker-compose.yml`.
+
+Aside from version upgrades, you will not usually need to edit the compose files.
+
+## Updates
+
+Deploying service upgrades is relatively easy. To keep track with updates we recommend either following the projects repositories on Github, or using their RSS/Atom feeds. See the links below for project release links.
+
+An example of deploying Mastodon upgrades:
+
+1. Replace all occurences of the version string (eg: `v4.3.6`) with the newer version (eg: `v4.3.8`) in the file `conf/compose/mastodon.docker-compose.yml`
+2. Re-run `run.sh`
