+### 🐳 **How to Clone and Run the Spelling App from Gitea with Docker Compose**
+
+1. **Install Docker & Docker Compose**
+   - Mac: [Docker Desktop for Mac](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/)
+   - Windows: [Docker Desktop for Windows](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/)
+   - Linux: Use your package manager (e.g. `apt install docker docker-compose`)
+
+2. **Clone the Repository**
+
+```bash
+git clone https://git.necloud.us/nmemmert/Spelling.git
+cd Spelling
+```
+
+3. **Build & Start the Container**
+
+```bash
+docker-compose up --build
+```
+
+This will:
+- Build the Docker image using the included `Dockerfile`
+- Start the container on port 3000
+- Mount your user data (like `users.json` and `wordlists.json`) so they persist
+
+4. **Access the App**
+
+Open your browser and visit:
+
+```
+http://localhost:3000
+```
+
+🎉 You’re in! Log in with a predefined user from `users.json` (e.g., `admin1` / `password`).
+
+5. **Stop the App**
+
+To shut it down when you're done:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose down
+```
+
+---
+
+### ✅ Optional: Run in the Background
+
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+To stop it later:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose down
+```
+
+---
+
+Want me to generate a `README.md` from this? Or help automate updates with a webhook from your Gitea server? You’re primed for self-hosted greatness.
