+Simple Grocery List, or **Sigl** (pronounced "sigil") is a lightweight shopping list manager designed for shared grocery lists (or any other shopping list). Sigl is designed to be intuitive and flexible, emphasizing an ad-hoc approach to shopping lists rather than "recipe" based lists.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Install [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) and
+[Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) for your platform.
+Then run the following commands to clone the Jade Tree repository and run a
+local instance of Jade Tree on your machine. Note that the database migration
+only has to be done once to set up a fresh database or to upgrade a database to
+the latest schema.
+
+```sh
+$ git clone https://github.com/asymworks/sigl.git sigl
+$ docker-compose -f sigl/docker-compose.yaml up -d
+$ docker-compose -f sigl/docker-compose.yaml \
+    exec app /home/sigl/docker-entry.sh db upgrade
+$ docker-compose -f sigl/docker-compose.yaml restart app
+```
+
+Then access the Sigl server at http://localhost:5151
