 ## Setting Up Development Environment
 
 ### 1 Fork and clone the repository.
+https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/
 
-### 2 Install Vagrant.
-https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html
+### 2 Install Docker.
+https://docs.docker.com/install/
 
-### 3 Install VirtualBox
-https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
+### 3 Build the Docker Container
+Build the container
+```
+docker-compose build
+```
 
-### 4 Capture the powers of vagrant
-  * In the repo dir: <code>vagrant up</code> (Safely ignore: 'dpkg-preconfigure: unable to re-open stdin: No such file or directory')
-  * If changes have been made since running vagrant up: <code>vagrant provision</code>
-  
-  * Start the rails server. There are two ways to do this, depending on your familiarity running from within the vagrant shell:
+### 4 Run the Docker Container
 
-    1. A local `rake` wrapper that allows direct execution on the machine.
-        * Run `rake vagrant:shell[command]`<sup>1</sup>
-        * To start the rails server using the rake wrapper use: `rake vagrant:shell['rails s -b 0.0.0.0']`.         
-        * Navigate to `localhost:3000`
-    2. Using `vagrant ssh` to gain access directly to the machine.
-        * To login to the machine: <code>vagrant ssh</code>
-        * `cd  /vagrant/` to navigate to the refuge repo.
-        * To start the rails server use: `rails s -b 0.0.0.0`. 
-        * Navigate to `localhost:3000`
+You can now run and shutdown the app with:
+```
+docker-compose up
+docker-compose down
+```
 
-  [1] You can run any command locally using `rake vagrant:shell[]` and it will be executed in the repo root of the vagrant machine. You can try `rake vagrant:shell['pwd']` and see it will print the directory that the repo is in on the vagrant machine!
+It will be available at localhost:3000
 
-### 5 Optional tasks:
-run <code>rake db:fix_accents</code> to clean up encoding problems in the safe2pee data. (Use <code>rake db:fix_accents[dry_run]</code> to preview the changes.)
+### 5 Run the Tests
+```
+docker-compose run -e "RAILS_ENV=test" web rake db:test:prepare spec cucumber
+```
 
-### 6 Assets
+### 6 Optional tasks:
+To clean up encoding problems in the safe2pee data, run (Use `rake db:fix_accents[dry_run]` to preview the changes.):
+```
+docker-compose run rake db:fixaccents
+```
+

-# PostgreSQL Client Authentication Configuration File
-# ===================================================
-#
-# Refer to the "Client Authentication" section in the PostgreSQL
-# documentation for a complete description of this file.  A short
-# synopsis follows.
-#
-# This file controls: which hosts are allowed to connect, how clients
-# are authenticated, which PostgreSQL user names they can use, which
-# databases they can access.  Records take one of these forms:
-#
-# local      DATABASE  USER  METHOD  [OPTIONS]
-# host       DATABASE  USER  ADDRESS  METHOD  [OPTIONS]
-# hostssl    DATABASE  USER  ADDRESS  METHOD  [OPTIONS]
-# hostnossl  DATABASE  USER  ADDRESS  METHOD  [OPTIONS]
-#
-# (The uppercase items must be replaced by actual values.)
-#
-# The first field is the connection type: "local" is a Unix-domain
-# socket, "host" is either a plain or SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket,
-# "hostssl" is an SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket, and "hostnossl" is a
-# plain TCP/IP socket.
-#
-# DATABASE can be "all", "sameuser", "samerole", "replication", a
-# database name, or a comma-separated list thereof. The "all"
-# keyword does not match "replication". Access to replication
-# must be enabled in a separate record (see example below).
-#
-# USER can be "all", a user name, a group name prefixed with "+", or a
-# comma-separated list thereof.  In both the DATABASE and USER fields
-# you can also write a file name prefixed with "@" to include names
-# from a separate file.
-#
-# ADDRESS specifies the set of hosts the record matches.  It can be a
-# host name, or it is made up of an IP address and a CIDR mask that is
-# an integer (between 0 and 32 (IPv4) or 128 (IPv6) inclusive) that
-# specifies the number of significant bits in the mask.  A host name
-# that starts with a dot (.) matches a suffix of the actual host name.
-# Alternatively, you can write an IP address and netmask in separate
-# columns to specify the set of hosts.  Instead of a CIDR-address, you
-# can write "samehost" to match any of the server's own IP addresses,
-# or "samenet" to match any address in any subnet that the server is
-# directly connected to.
-#
-# METHOD can be "trust", "reject", "md5", "password", "gss", "sspi",
-# "krb5", "ident", "peer", "pam", "ldap", "radius" or "cert".  Note that
-# "password" sends passwords in clear text; "md5" is preferred since
-# it sends encrypted passwords.
-#
-# OPTIONS are a set of options for the authentication in the format
-# NAME=VALUE.  The available options depend on the different
-# authentication methods -- refer to the "Client Authentication"
-# section in the documentation for a list of which options are
-# available for which authentication methods.
-#
-# Database and user names containing spaces, commas, quotes and other
-# special characters must be quoted.  Quoting one of the keywords
-# "all", "sameuser", "samerole" or "replication" makes the name lose
-# its special character, and just match a database or username with
-# that name.
-#
-# This file is read on server startup and when the postmaster receives
-# a SIGHUP signal.  If you edit the file on a running system, you have
-# to SIGHUP the postmaster for the changes to take effect.  You can
-# use "pg_ctl reload" to do that.
-
-# Put your actual configuration here
-# ----------------------------------
-#
-# If you want to allow non-local connections, you need to add more
-# "host" records.  In that case you will also need to make PostgreSQL
-# listen on a non-local interface via the listen_addresses
-# configuration parameter, or via the -i or -h command line switches.
-
-
-
-
-# DO NOT DISABLE!
-# If you change this first entry you will need to make sure that the
-# database superuser can access the database using some other method.
-# Noninteractive access to all databases is required during automatic
-# maintenance (custom daily cronjobs, replication, and similar tasks).
-#
-# Database administrative login by Unix domain socket
-local   all             postgres                                peer
-
-# TYPE  DATABASE        USER            ADDRESS                 METHOD
-
-# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
-local   all             all                                     trust
