 ## How to get started?
 
+### Quick Start with Docker 🐳
+
+> [!TIP]
+> For production deployments, use the full [Docker Compose setup](https://www.surfsense.net/docs/docker-installation) which offers more control and scalability.
+
+**Quick Start :**
+
+```bash
+docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -p 8000:8000 \
+  -v surfsense-data:/data \
+  -e SECRET_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32) \
+  --name surfsense \
+  --restart unless-stopped \
+  ghcr.io/modsetter/surfsense:latest
+```
+
+**With Custom Embedding Model (e.g., OpenAI):**
+
+```bash
+docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -p 8000:8000 \
+  -v surfsense-data:/data \
+  -e SECRET_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32) \
+  -e EMBEDDING_MODEL=openai://text-embedding-ada-002 \
+  -e OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key \
+  --name surfsense \
+  --restart unless-stopped \
+  ghcr.io/modsetter/surfsense:latest
+```
+
+**Using Docker Compose (Recommended for easier management):**
+
+```bash
+# Download the quick start compose file
+curl -o docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MODSetter/SurfSense/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml
+
+# Create .env file with your secret key
+echo "SECRET_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
+
+# Start SurfSense
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+After starting, access SurfSense at:
+- **Frontend**: [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)
+- **Backend API**: [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000)
+- **API Docs**: [http://localhost:8000/docs](http://localhost:8000/docs)

    - Includes pgAdmin for database management through a web UI
    - Supports environment variable customization via `.env` file
    - Flexible deployment options (full stack or core services only)
-   - No need to manually edit configuration files between environments
+   - Better for production with separate scaling of services
 
-3. **[Manual Installation](https://www.surfsense.net/docs/manual-installation)** - For users who prefer more control over their setup or need to customize their deployment.
+4. **[Manual Installation](https://www.surfsense.net/docs/manual-installation)** - For users who prefer more control over their setup or need to customize their deployment.
