+# Container Dashboard
+A simple dashboard for turning your docker/kubernetes services (containers/pods) on or off from a web UI
+
+## Usage
+First build the docker images under `frontend` and `backend`
+
+`docker build -t container-dashboard-frontend ./frontend`
+
+`docker build -t container-dashboard-backend ./backend`
+
+### Frontend
+Run the frontend with `docker run -d -p 80:80 BACKEND=\<url to backend\> container-dashboard-frontend:latest`.
+
+`BACKEND` points towards the backend container and looks something like this: `http(s)://123.123.123:8080`
+
+### Backend
+Run the backend with `docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -e BACKEND=<docker | kubernetes> -e KUBECONFIG=<path to kube config file> -v /path/to/kube-config:/app/kube-config container-dashboard-backend:latest`
+
+The environment variable `KUBECONFIG` and the mounted kubernetes config folder are only needed if you are using kubernetes.
+
+Docker backend has not been implemented yet. Feel free to contribute ^w^
