+# Docker Containers
+
+The 'production' environment is assumed to be a set of Docker containers orchestrated with Docker Compose. The files in this directory will stand up three Docker containers:
+
+1 An instance of go-ipfs.
+2 An instance of MongoDB.
+3 The JavaScript software in this repository.
+
+The software in this repository depends on the first two containers, so if they aren't running correctly, the application won't run correctly either.
+
+## IPFS
+
+IPFS can be a little tricky to set up. By default, the container uses the following ports:
+
+- 4001 for TCP connections, exposed publicly.
+- 5001 for control by the application, exposed privately.
+- 8080 for an IPFS gateway, consumed by the application, exposed privately.
+
+If you already have an IPFS node running on a the computer, you will need to change the ports to avaid a conflict. To change the ports from the default, you'll need to perform a series of steps, and the order of the steps matter.
+
+1. Edit the `docker-compose.yml` file and change the ports. Then save the file. Here is an example:
+
+```
+ports:
+  - 4101:4101
+  - 172.17.0.1:5101:5101
+  - 172.17.0.1:8180:8180
+```
+
+2. Bring the Docker containers up, and then back down. This will allow the IPFS container to create the config file that you'll need to edit.
+
+- `docker-compose up -d`
+- Wait a few seconds.
+- `docker-compose down`
+
+3. Update the generated config file at `../data/go-ipfs/data/config`, to update the ports in the config file, like this:
+
+```
+"Addresses": {
+    "API": "/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/5101",
+    "Announce": [],
+    "AppendAnnounce": [],
+    "Gateway": "/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/8180",
+    "NoAnnounce": [],
+    "Swarm": [
+      "/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/4101",
+      "/ip6/::/tcp/4101",
+      "/ip4/0.0.0.0/udp/4101/quic",
+      "/ip6/::/udp/4101/quic"
+    ]
+  },
+
+```
+
+4. Update the port changes in the `start-production.sh` shell script. This tells the application which ports to use, in order to control the IPFS node, are are used when signaling other nodes.
+
+5. Quickly rebuild the containers, to add the modified `start-production.sh` shell script to the application Docker container:
+
+- `docker-compose build`
+
+6. Now start the containers, and the port changes to IPFS should be complete.
