+CI system and build tooling to support automation for Wownero development.
+
+## Setup
+
+Install Docker. I'm using a Ubuntu 20.04 machine. Not a HA or scaling setup, just containers running on a box. Setup script provided.
+
+```
+sudo bash setup.sh
+```
+
+Next, setup the secrets:
+
+```
+cp env.example .env
+vim .env
+# generate new secrets and fill out all variables
+```
+
+Use `docker-compose` to start the services.
