+# Docker Setup for Chrome DevTools Frontend
+
+This directory contains Docker configuration files for building and running the Chrome DevTools Frontend in a containerized environment.
+
+## Overview
+
+The Docker setup uses a multi-stage build process:
+1. **Build Stage**: Compiles the DevTools frontend using the full development environment
+2. **Production Stage**: Serves only the built files using Nginx (lightweight, ~50MB final image)
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker Engine 20.10+ installed
+- Docker Compose v2.0+ (optional, for easier management)
+- At least 8GB of available disk space for the build process
+- 4GB+ RAM recommended for building
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Building the Docker Image
+
+From the repository root directory:
+
+```bash
+# Build the Docker image
+docker build -f docker/Dockerfile -t devtools-frontend .
+
+# Or use docker-compose (recommended)
+docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml build
+```
+
+### Running the Container
+
+```bash
+# Using docker run
+docker run -d -p 8000:8000 --name devtools-frontend devtools-frontend
+
+# Or using docker-compose (recommended)
+docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up -d
+```
+
+The DevTools will be available at: http://localhost:8000
+
+### Accessing DevTools
+
+Once the container is running, open Chrome or Chromium with:
+
+```bash
+# macOS
+/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --custom-devtools-frontend=http://localhost:8000/
+
+# Linux
+google-chrome --custom-devtools-frontend=http://localhost:8000/
+
+# Windows
+chrome.exe --custom-devtools-frontend=http://localhost:8000/
+```
+
+## File Structure
+
+```
+docker/
+├── Dockerfile           # Multi-stage build configuration
+├── .dockerignore       # Files to exclude from Docker context
+├── nginx.conf          # Nginx server configuration
+├── docker-compose.yml  # Docker Compose configuration
+└── README.md          # This file
+```
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Development Mode
+
+For development with local file changes:
+
+1. Build the project locally first:
+```bash
+npm run build
+```
+
+2. Run the container with volume mount:
+```bash
+docker run -d -p 8000:8000 \
+  -v $(pwd)/out/Default/gen/front_end:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro \
+  --name devtools-frontend-dev \
+  devtools-frontend
+```
+
+Or uncomment the volume mount in `docker-compose.yml`.
+
+### Custom Port
+
+To run on a different port:
+
+```bash
+# Using docker run
+docker run -d -p 9000:8000 devtools-frontend
+
+# Using docker-compose
+DEVTOOLS_PORT=9000 docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up -d
+```
+
+Then update your Chrome launch command accordingly.
+
+### Building with Cache
+
+To speed up rebuilds, Docker automatically caches layers. To force a fresh build:
+
+```bash
+docker build -f docker/Dockerfile --no-cache -t devtools-frontend .
+```
+
+### Viewing Logs
+
+```bash
+# Using docker
+docker logs devtools-frontend
+
+# Using docker-compose
+docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml logs -f
+```
+
+### Stopping the Container
+
+```bash
+# Using docker
+docker stop devtools-frontend
+docker rm devtools-frontend
+
+# Using docker-compose
+docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml down
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build Fails
+
+If the build fails:
+1. Ensure you have enough disk space (8GB+ free)
+2. Check Docker memory limits (4GB+ recommended)
+3. Try building with `--no-cache` flag
+4. Check the build logs for specific errors
+
+### Container Won't Start
+
+1. Check if port 8000 is already in use:
+   ```bash
+   lsof -i :8000  # macOS/Linux
+   netstat -an | findstr :8000  # Windows
+   ```
+
+2. View container logs:
+   ```bash
+   docker logs devtools-frontend
+   ```
+
+### DevTools Not Loading
+
+1. Verify the container is running:
+   ```bash
+   docker ps
+   ```
+
+2. Check Nginx is serving files:
+   ```bash
+   curl http://localhost:8000/
+   ```
+
+3. Ensure Chrome is launched with the correct flag
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Build time**: ~10-20 minutes (first build, depending on system)
+- **Image size**: ~50MB (production image with Nginx)
+- **Memory usage**: ~50-100MB at runtime
+- **Startup time**: <5 seconds
+
+## Security Notes
+
+- The Nginx configuration includes security headers
+- CORS is enabled for DevTools functionality
+- The container runs as non-root user (nginx)
+- No sensitive data is included in the final image
+
+## Contributing
+
+When modifying the Docker setup:
+1. Test builds locally before committing
+2. Update this README if configuration changes
+3. Keep the final image size minimal
+4. Follow Docker best practices for multi-stage builds
