+cgitize in Docker
+=================
+
+cgitize is executed as a cron job inside the container.
+The `SCHEDULE` environment variable controls how often it gets run (see below).
+
+* Image: **egortensin/cgitize**
+* Volumes:
+    * `/etc/cgitize/cgitize.toml`: configuration file path.
+    * `/mnt/cgitize`: by default, cloned repositories will be written here.
+    * `/ssh-agent.sock`: if you use SSH, map the agent socket here.
+* Environment variables:
+    * `SCHEDULE`: defaults to "once", which makes the container exit after the
+first run.
+You can also set it to "15min", "hourly", "daily", "weekly", "monthly" or a
+custom 5-part cron schedule like "*/5 * * * *".
+
+Frontend
+--------
+
+There's a web server image with a working cgit installation.
+
+* Image: **egortensin/cgitize-frontend**
+* Volumes:
+    * `/etc/cgitrc`: if you use a custom cgit configuration, map it here.
+It can look like this:
+
+           # Include most common useful settings.
+           include=/etc/cgit/common
+
+           # If you serve from a subdirectory.
+           virtual-root=/secret/
+
+           root-title=Custom title
+           root-desc=Custom description
+
+    * `/mnt/cgitize`: map cgitize's output directory here.
+
+Compose
+-------
+
+See the root docker-compose.yml file for a possible services definition.
+In this configuration, cgitize pulls my repositories from GitHub every 3 hours.
+You can test it by running
+
+    docker-compose build
+    docker-compose up -d
+
+and visiting http://localhost:80/.
