 Running VectorAdmin in Docker is the easily way to get a locally hosted option running as quickly as possible.
 
-
 ## Requirements
 - Install [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) on your computer or machine.
+- A running Postgres DB (RDS, remote, docker, local host machine)
 
-## How to install
+**Note**  Failure to use a valid DB connection string prior to building or starting vector-admin will result in a failure.
+On boot the `vdbms` database will be created using the connection string.
+
+**Run containerized Postgres DB**
+Run this command first to get a dockerized Postgres container running:
+`docker-compose up -d --build postgres`
+
+## Run from Docker pre-built image
+- `git clone git@github.com:Mintplex-Labs/vector-admin.git`
+- `cd vector-admin`
+- `cd docker/`
+- `cp .env.example .env`.
+- Edit `.env` file and update the variables. **please** update all of the following:
+```shell
+JWT_SECRET="some-random-string"
+SYS_EMAIL="root@vectoradmin.com"
+SYS_PASSWORD="password"
+DATABASE_CONNECTION_STRING="postgresql://vectoradmin:password@host.docker.internal:5433/vdbms" # Valid PG Connection string.
+INNGEST_SIGNING_KEY="some-random-string"
+```
+
+
+
+<!-- 
+## Setup ENVs for Docker image
 - `git clone` this repo and `cd vector-admin` to get to the root directory.
 - `yarn dev:setup`
 - `cd docker/`
 - `cp .env.example .env` to create the `.env` file.
-- Edit `.env` file and update the variables. **please** update `JWT_SECRET`,`SYS_PASSWORD`, and `INNGEST_SIGNING_KEY`
+- Edit `.env` file and update the variables. **please** update all of the following:
+```shell
+JWT_SECRET="some-random-string"
+SYS_EMAIL="root@vectoradmin.com"
+SYS_PASSWORD="password"

+INNGEST_SIGNING_KEY="some-random-string"
+```
 
-**Note** You must have a postgres DB running - the default ENV assumes a containerized PG instance running, but it can
-be located anywhere (RDS, remote, local host machine). Failure to use a valid DB connection string prior to building
-vector-admin will result in a build failure.
-- `DATABASE_CONNECTION_STRING` should be a valid connection string. On boot the `vdbms` database will be created for the connection string.
-
-**If running the included containerized Postgres DB**
-Run this command first: `docker-compose up -d --build postgres`
 
 **Boot up vector-admin**
 - `docker-compose up -d --build vector-admin` to build the image - this will take a few moments.
 
-Your docker host will show the image as online once the build process is completed. This will build the app to `http://localhost:3001`.
