+
+## Deploy with docker-compose
+
+```shell
+docker-compose up -d --build
+```
+## Expected result
+
+Listing containers must show one container running and the port mapping as below:
+```
+$ docker ps
+CONTAINER ID   IMAGE          COMMAND       CREATED              STATUS              PORTS                                               NAMES

+```
+
+After the application starts, navigate to `http://localhost:8000` in your web browser and you should see the following json response:
+```
+{
+"message": "OK"
+}
+```
+
+Stop and remove the containers
+```
+$ docker-compose down
