-#### Docker Compose
+## Manual Install
-The fastest way to start the application is to use our Dockerfiles and [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/).
+---
-To get the application up and running you need to:
-
-1. In the `Docker` directory run the build script `build_images.sh` to build docker images for the client, server, Redis database, and MongoDB database.
-
-2. In the `Dokcer` directory create a `mongo.env` file with a username and password:
-
-```
-USERNAME_ENV_VAR=user
-PASSWORD_ENV_VAR=password
-```
-
-3. In the `Docker` directory, create a `server.env` file with the [requried environmental variables](#env-vars-server) for the server. Sample file:
-
-```
-CLIENT_HOST="http://localhost:5173"
-JWT_SECRET=
-DB_TYPE="MongoDB"
-DB_CONNECTION_STRING="mongodb://:@mongodb:27017/uptime_db"
-REDIS_HOST="redis"
-REDIS_PORT=6379
-TOKEN_TTL="99d"
-PAGESPEED_API_KEY=
-SYSTEM_EMAIL_HOST="smtp.gmail.com"
-SYSTEM_EMAIL_PORT=465
-SYSTEM_EMAIL_ADDRESS=
-SYSTEM_EMAIL_PASSWORD=
-```
-
-4. In the `Client` directory, create a `client.env` file with the [required environmental variables](#env-vars-client) for the client. Sample file:
-
-```
-VITE_APP_API_BASE_URL="http://localhost:5000/api/v1"
-VITE_APP_API_LOG_LEVEL="debug"
-```
-
-5. In the `Docker` directory run `docker compose up` to run the `docker-compose.yaml` file and start all four images.
-
-That's it, the application is ready to use on port 80.
