+# Docker image for local development
+
+## Build development docker image
+
+```bash
+# Assuming the current folder to be code-generator source root folder
+cd docker
+docker build --tag pytorchignite/codegenerator:dev .
+cd ../
+```
+
+## Run the image as a container
+
+Assumptions:
+
+- `$PWD` is code-generator source root folder
+- To replace `/host/path/to/data` with a path to the input data (for example CIFAR10 and/or VOCdevkit etc), e.g. `/mnt/data`
+
+```bash
+# Assuming the current folder to be code-generator source root folder
+docker run --name=codegen-dev -it -v $PWD:/code -w /code -v /host/path/to/data:/data --network=host --ipc=host pytorchignite/codegenerator:dev /bin/bash
+```
+
+Inside the container we can install all other project dependencies:
+
+```bash
+git config --global --add safe.directory /code
+
+pnpm i --frozen-lockfile --color
+pnpm build
+
+bash scripts/run_code_style.sh install
+```
+
+- Local app deployment
+
+```bash
+pnpm dev
+```
+
+- Run ci tests locally
+
+```bash
+pnpm test:ci
+
+sh ./scripts/run_tests.sh unzip
+sh ./scripts/run_tests.sh simple vision-classification
+```
