 ## Usage
 
-To use this project, you can pull the Docker image from Docker Hub and run it using the following commands:
+Start with getting Docker then do the following:
 
-### Pull the Docker Image
+### Create the setup files
+Create a `docker-compose.yml`
+```yaml
+services:
+  db:
+    image: postgres:17.2
+    container_name: postgres-db
+    environment:
+      POSTGRES_USER: postgres
+      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: Root Password
+      POSTGRES_DB: ti1
+    ports:
+      - "5432:5432"
+    volumes:
+      - ./postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data  # Store data in the current directory
+      - ./init.sql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init.sql:ro
+    networks:
+      - app-network
+    healthcheck:
+      test: ["CMD", "pg_isready", "-U", "postgres", "-d", "ti1", "-h", "db"]
+      interval: 10s
+      retries: 5
+    restart: always  # Ensure the container always restarts
 
-```sh
-docker pull pigwin1/ti1:latest
+  ti1-container:
+    image: pigwin1/ti1:v0.1.1
+    container_name: ti1-container
+    environment:
+      DB_HOST: db
+      DB_PORT: 5432
+      DB_USER: ti1
+      DB_PASSWORD: ti1 password
+      DB_NAME: ti1
+      DB_SSLMODE: disable
+    depends_on:
+      db:
+        condition: service_healthy  # Wait until the db service is healthy
+    networks:
+      - app-network
+    restart: always  # Ensure the container always restarts
+
+networks:
+  app-network:
+    driver: bridge
+
+volumes:
+  postgres_data:
+    driver: local
 ```
 
-### Run the Docker Container
-```sh
-docker run -d --name ti1-container -e DB_HOST=<your_db_host> -e DB_PORT=<your_db_port> -e DB_USER=<your_db_user> -e DB_PASSWORD=<your_db_password> -e DB_NAME=<your_db_name> -e DB_SSLMODE=<your_db_sslmode> pigwin1/ti1:latest
+Create `init.sql`
+```sql
+-- Check if 'post' user exists; create if not
+DO $$
+BEGIN
+    IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT FROM pg_roles WHERE rolname = 'post') THEN
+        CREATE ROLE post WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'post password';
+        GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE ti1 TO post;
+        ALTER ROLE post WITH SUPERUSER;
+    END IF;
+END
+$$;
+
+-- Check if 'ti1' user exists; create if not
+DO $$
+BEGIN
+    IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT FROM pg_roles WHERE rolname = 'ti1') THEN
+        CREATE ROLE ti1 WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'ti1 password';
+        GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE ti1 TO ti1;
+        GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO ti1;
+        GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL SEQUENCES IN SCHEMA public TO ti1;
+        GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL FUNCTIONS IN SCHEMA public TO ti1;
+-- Grant the ti1 user the necessary permissions on the public schema
+GRANT USAGE, CREATE ON SCHEMA public TO ti1;
+
+-- Grant all permissions (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, etc.) on all existing tables in the public schema
+GRANT ALL ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO ti1;
+
+-- Grant all permissions on all existing sequences in the public schema
+GRANT ALL ON ALL SEQUENCES IN SCHEMA public TO ti1;
+
+-- Grant all permissions on all functions in the public schema
+GRANT ALL ON ALL FUNCTIONS IN SCHEMA public TO ti1;
+
+-- Ensure that the ti1 user will have access to new tables, sequences, and functions created in the public schema
+ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA public GRANT ALL ON TABLES TO ti1;
+ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA public GRANT ALL ON SEQUENCES TO ti1;
+ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA public GRANT ALL ON FUNCTIONS TO ti1;
+
+-- Optionally, grant full permissions on the entire database to ti1 (if needed)
+-- GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE ti1 TO ti1;
+
+    END IF;
+END
+$$;
+```
+
+Remember to change the password values
+
+### Run the Docker Containers
+```sh
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+### edit the postgress config (optinal)
+open the config file
+```sh
+nano postgres_data/postgresql.conf
+```
+Change the following values
+```conf
+listen_addresses = '*'
+max_connections = 100
+shared_buffers = 16GB
+work_mem = 256MB
+maintenance_work_mem = 2GB
+dynamic_shared_memory_type = posix
+max_wal_size = 1GB
+min_wal_size = 80MB
+```
+set these to what makes most sense for you
+
+These values should also be set bet not necessarily changed
+```conf
+log_timezone = 'Etc/UTC'
+datestyle = 'iso, mdy'
+timezone = 'Etc/UTC'
+lc_messages = 'en_US.utf8'
+lc_monetary = 'en_US.utf8'
+lc_numeric = 'en_US.utf8'
+lc_time = 'en_US.utf8'
+default_text_search_config = 'pg_catalog.english'
 ```
-Replace `<your_db_host>`, `<your_db_port>`, `<your_db_user>`, `<your_db_password>`, `<your_db_name>`, and `<your_db_sslmode>` with your actual database configuration values.
