+
+### 1-Click Deploy
+
+If you just want to test Dashy out, then you have several options:
+- You can spin up a container with PWD by [clicking here](https://labs.play-with-docker.com/?stack=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lissy93/dashy/master/docker-compose.yml)
+- Or on your own system, by running: `docker run -p 8080:80 lissy93/dashy`, then open your browser and visit `http://localhost:8080`
+- Or you can check out the live demo, [here](http://dashy-demo-1.as93.net/)
 
 ### Deploy with Docker
 
 The quickest way to get started on any system is with Docker, and Dashy is available though [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/lissy93/dashy). You will need [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) installed on your system.

 - Also within `./public` you'll find standard website assets, including `favicon.ico`, `manifest.json`, `robots.txt`, etc. There's no need to modify these, but you can do so if you wish.
 
+### Healthchecks
+
+Healthchecks are configured to periodically check that Dashy is up and running correctly on the specified port. By default, the health script is called every 5 minutes, but this can be modified with the `--health-interval` option. You can check the current container health with: `docker inspect --format "{{json .State.Health }}" [container-id]`. You can also manually request the applications status by running `docker exec -it [container-id] yarn health-check`. You can disable healthchecks altogether by adding the `--no-healthcheck` flag to your Docker run command.

 ### Basic Commands
 
 Now that you've got Dashy running, there are a few commands that you need to know.
 
-The following commands are defined in the [`package.json`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/package.json#L5) file, and are run with `yarn`. If you prefer, you can use NPM, just replace instances of `yarn` with `npm run`. If you are using Docker, then you will need to precede each command with `docker exec -it [container-id]`, where container ID can be found by running `docker ps`. For example `docker exec -it 26c156c467b4 yarn build`

-#### `yarn build`
-In the interest of speed, the application is pre-compiled, this means that the config file is read during build-time, and therefore the app needs to rebuilt for any new changes to take effect. Luckily this is very straight forward. Just run `yarn build` or `docker exec -it [container-id] yarn build`.
+- **`yarn build`** - In the interest of speed, the application is pre-compiled, this means that the config file is read during build-time, and therefore the app needs to rebuilt for any new changes to take effect. Luckily this is very straight forward. Just run `yarn build` or `docker exec -it [container-id] yarn build`
+- **`yarn validate-config`** - If you have quite a long configuration file, you may wish to check that it's all good to go, before deploying the app. This can be done with `yarn validate-config` or `docker exec -it [container-id] yarn validate-config`. Your config file needs to be in `/public/conf.yml` (or within your Docker container at `/app/public/conf.yml`). This will first check that your YAML is valid, and then validates it against Dashy's [schema](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/utils/ConfigSchema.js).
+- **`yarn health-check`** - Checks that the application is up and running on it's specified port, and outputs current status and response times. Useful for integrating into your monitoring service, if you need to maintain high system availability
+- **`yarn build-watch`** - If you find yourself making frequent changes to your configuration, and do not want to have to keep manually rebuilding, then this option is for you. It will watch for changes to any files within the projects root, and then trigger a rebuild. Note that if you are developing new features, then `yarn dev` would be more appropriate, as it's significantly faster at recompiling (under 1 second), and has hot reloading, linting and testing integrated
+- **`yarn build-and-start`** - Builds the app, runs checks and starts the production server. Commands are run in parallel, and so is faster than running them in independently

-If you have quite a long configuration file, you may wish to check that it's all good to go, before deploying the app. This can be done with `yarn validate-config` or `docker exec -it [container-id] yarn validate-config`. Your config file needs to be in `/public/conf.yml` (or within your Docker container at `/app/public/conf.yml`). This will first check that your YAML is valid, and then validates it against Dashy's [schema](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/utils/ConfigSchema.js).
+---
+## Updating
+
+Dashy is under active development, so to take advantage of the latest features, you may need to update your instance every now and again.
+
+### Updating Docker Container
+1. Pull latest image: `docker pull lissy93/dashy:latest`
+2. Kill off existing container
+	- Find container ID: `docker ps`
+	- Stop container: `docker stop [container_id]`
+	- Remove container: `docker rm [container_id]`
+3. Spin up new container: `docker run [params] lissy93/dashy`
+
+### Automatic Docker Updates
+
+You can automate the above process using [Watchtower](https://github.com/containrrr/watchtower).
+Watchtower will watch for new versions of a given image on Docker Hub, pull down your new image, gracefully shut down your existing container and restart it with the same options that were used when it was deployed initially.
+
+To get started, spin up the watchtower container:
+
+```
+docker run -d \
+  --name watchtower \
+  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
+  containrrr/watchtower
+```
+
+For more information, see the [Watchtower Docs](https://containrrr.dev/watchtower/)
+
+### Updating Dashy from Source
+1. Navigate into directory: `cd ./dashy`
+2. Stop your current instance
+3. Pull latest code: `git pull origin master`
+4. Re-build: `yarn build`
+5. Start: `yarn start`
