+# OWL Docker Deployment
+
+This document provides instructions on how to build and run the OWL application using Docker.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker
+- Docker Compose
+
+## Building the Docker Image
+
+To build the Docker image, run the following command from the `.container` directory:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose build
+```
+
+## Running the Application
+
+To run the application, use the following command from the `.container` directory:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose up
+```
+
+The application will be accessible at `http://localhost:7860`.
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+You can configure the application by creating a `.env` file in the `owl` directory. A template file is provided at `owl/.env_template`.
+
+## Stopping the Application
+
+To stop the application, press `Ctrl+C` in the terminal where `docker-compose up` is running, and then run:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose down
+```
