+## Using ALwrity with Docker (Recommended for All Users)
+
+### What is Docker?
+Docker lets you run ALwrity in a safe, isolated environment on any computer (Windows, Mac, Linux) without worrying about Python or system setup. Think of it as a "ready-to-go" box for the app.
+
+### Step 1: Install Docker
+- Go to [https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
+- Download and install Docker Desktop for your operating system (Windows/Mac) or follow the Linux instructions.
+- After installation, restart your computer if prompted.
+- To check Docker is working, open a terminal and run:
+  ```
+  docker --version
+  ```
+  You should see a version number.
+
+### Step 2: Build the ALwrity Docker Image (No Manual Download Needed!)
+1. Open a terminal.
+2. Navigate to the `Getting Started` folder in your workspace:
+   ```
+   cd /workspaces/AI-Writer/Getting\ Started
+   ```
+3. Build the Docker image (this will automatically download the latest ALwrity code from GitHub):
+   ```
+   docker build -t alwrity .
+   ```
+   > **Note:** You do NOT need to manually download or clone the project. The Dockerfile will do this for you!
+
+### Step 3: Run ALwrity in Docker
+1. Start the app with this command:
+   ```
+   docker run -p 8501:8501 alwrity
+   ```
+2. Wait until you see a message like:
+   ```
+   Local URL: http://localhost:8501
+   ```
+3. Open your web browser and go to [http://localhost:8501](http://localhost:8501)
+4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your API keys and start creating content!
+
+### Stopping ALwrity
+- To stop the app, go back to the terminal and press `Ctrl+C`.
+
+### Advanced: Saving Your Work
+- By default, any files you create inside Docker are lost when the container stops.
+- To save your work to your computer, run:
+  ```
+  docker run -p 8501:8501 -v $(pwd)/alwrity_data:/app/your_data_folder alwrity
+  ```
+  Replace `your_data_folder` with the folder ALwrity uses for output (see documentation).
+
+### Troubleshooting
+- If you see errors about missing ports or permissions, make sure Docker Desktop is running.
+- If you get a 'permission denied' error on Linux, try running with `sudo`:
+  ```
+  sudo docker run -p 8501:8501 alwrity
+  ```
+- For other issues, check the Troubleshooting section below or open an issue on GitHub.
