+# ShiftScheduler Docker Setup
+
+This directory contains Docker configuration files for running the ShiftScheduler application in containers.
+
+## Files
+
+- `Dockerfile` - Production dockerfile that clones the repository from GitHub
+- `Dockerfile.local` - Development dockerfile that uses local source files
+- `docker-compose.yml` - Docker Compose configuration for easy deployment
+- `.dockerignore` - Files to exclude from Docker build context
+
+## Usage
+
+### Option 1: Using Local Source (Recommended for Development)
+
+```bash
+# Build using local source files
+docker build -f Dockerfile.local -t shiftscheduler:local .
+
+# Run the container
+docker run -p 5000:5000 shiftscheduler:local
+```
+
+### Option 2: Using Git Repository Clone (Production)
+
+```bash
+# Build using git repository clone
+docker build -t shiftscheduler:latest .
+
+# Run the container
+docker run -p 5000:5000 shiftscheduler:latest
+```
+
+### Option 3: Using Docker Compose (Easiest)
+
+```bash
+# Start the application
+docker-compose up --build
+
+# Run in background
+docker-compose up -d --build
+
+# Stop the application
+docker-compose down
+```
+
+## Accessing the Application
+
+Once running, the application will be available at:
+- http://localhost:5000
+
+## Notes
+
+- The production Dockerfile clones the latest version from the GitHub repository
+- The local Dockerfile uses the current source files for development
+- The application runs on port 5000 inside the container
+- Environment is set to Production by default in Docker containers
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If you encounter SSL certificate issues during build, you can:
+
+1. Use the local Dockerfile instead: `docker build -f Dockerfile.local -t shiftscheduler .`
+2. Build with network host mode: `docker build --network=host -t shiftscheduler .`
+3. Configure Docker to use system certificates if needed
