 ![Build](https://github.com/simojenki/bonob/workflows/Build/badge.svg)
+
+## Running
+
+bonob is ditributed via docker and can be run in a number of ways
+
+### Full sonos device auto-discovery by using docker --network host
+```
+docker run \
+    -e PORT=3000 \
+    -p 3000 \
+    --network host \
+    simojenki/bonob
+```
+
+### Full sonos device auto-discovery by using a sonos seed device, without requiring docker host networking
+```
+docker run \
+    -e PORT=3000 \
+    -e BONOB_SONOS_SEED_HOST=192.168.1.123 \
+    -p 3000 \
