-### Running the Script
+You can now run the script in one of the following two ways:
 
-Run `npm start`, the bot should be online.
+### Run Locally
 
-#### Start Recording
+Run `npm i` to download necessary `node_modules`, then run `npm start`, the bot should be online.
+
+### Run as a Docker Container
+
+1. Build the docker image: 
 
 ```
-<PREFIX>enter <VOICE_CHANNEL_NAME>
+docker build -t dvr .
 ```
 
-**Note:** You should hear a 'drop' sound after running this. If you don't, there's a problem with your FFmpeg installation.
-
-#### Stop Recording
+2. Bind `/recordings` directory on host to container and start the container with a custom name:
 
 ```
-<PREFIX>exit
+docker run \          
+  --name <CONTAINER_NAME> \     
+  --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)"/recordings,target=/usr/src/bot/recordings \
+  dvr
 ```
 
+The bot should be online. 
+
+3. To stop the container, run `docker stop <CONTAINER_NAME>`, you can restart it using `docker start <CONTINAER_NAME>`.
+
+### Bot Commands
+
+1. Start Recording : `<PREFIX>enter <VOICE_CHANNEL_NAME>`
+
+2. Stop Recording  : `<PREFIX>exit`

 ## Managing the Output
 
-The audio will be recorded in [PCM format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-code_modulation) and saved to the `/recordings` directory.
-
-_To work with PCM audio, you could use software such as [Audacity](https://www.audacityteam.org/). To import the audio into Audacity, open File > Import Raw Data... and then select your audio file. You should select Signed 16-bit PCM as the encoding, a Little-endian byte order, 2 Channels (Stereo) and a sample rate of 48000Hz._
+The output for each piece of audio stream is written to a unique file in [PCM format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-code_modulation) (48000 Hz, signed 16-bit little-endian, 2 channel [stereo]) and saved to the `/recordings` directory.
 
 ### Merge Recording
 
-The output for each piece of audio stream is written to a unique file. To merge all output files, run:
+To merge all output files to `/recordings/merge.pcm`, run:
 
 ```
-node ./bin/merge.js
+node /bin/merge.js
 ``` 
 
-This creates a `merge.pcm` in the `/recordings` directory.
-
-**Note:** Do not forget to empty your `recordings` folder after each session. Running `./bin/merge.js` otherwise, will dump large merge files.
