## Docker Build Instructions

First refer to [**Compiling Web Standalone**](#using-web-standalone) to build successfully locally and use it normally.
Then in the project root directory (directory with Dockerfile), execute:
```
docker build -t restfox:xx .
```
> Note: xx is the version number

After the build is complete, use the following command to start the service:
```
docker run -d -p:4004:4004 restfox:xx
```
Visit after successful startup: localhost:4004

Alternatively, you can also use the pre-built Docker image available on [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/flawiddsouza/restfox). See: [**Docker**](#docker).
