 Docker Compose is a way of installing and launching the web UI in an isolated Ubuntu image using only a few commands.
 
-## Installing Docker Compose
+## Prerequisites
 
-In order to create the image as described in the main README, you must have Docker Compose installed (2.17 or higher is recommended):
+You need Docker Compose v2.17 or higher:
 
 ```
 ~$ docker compose version
 Docker Compose version v2.21.0
 ```
 
-The installation instructions for various Linux distributions can be found here:
+Installation instructions: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/
 
-https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/#install-using-the-repository
+For NVIDIA GPUs, you also need the [NVIDIA Container Toolkit](https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html).
 
-## Launching the image
+## Quick start
 
-Use these commands to launch the image:
+There are four Docker variants available under `docker/`:
 
-```
-cd text-generation-webui
-ln -s docker/{nvidia/Dockerfile,nvidia/docker-compose.yml,.dockerignore} .
-cp docker/.env.example .env
-# Edit .env and set TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST based on your GPU model
+| Directory | GPU | Notes |
+|-----------|-----|-------|
+| `docker/nvidia` | NVIDIA | Requires NVIDIA Container Toolkit |
+| `docker/amd` | AMD | Requires ROCm-compatible GPU |
+| `docker/intel` | Intel Arc | Beta support |
+| `docker/cpu` | None | CPU-only inference |
+
+To launch (using NVIDIA as an example):
+
+```bash
+cd text-generation-webui/docker/nvidia
+cp ../.env.example .env
+# Optionally edit .env to customize ports, TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST, etc.
 docker compose up --build
 ```
 
-## More detailed installation instructions
+The web UI will be available at `http://localhost:7860`.
 
-* [Docker Compose installation instructions](#docker-compose-installation-instructions)
-* [Repository with additional Docker files](#dedicated-docker-repository)
+## User data
 
-By [@loeken](https://github.com/loeken).
+Create a `user_data/` directory next to the `docker-compose.yml` to persist your models, characters, presets, and settings between container rebuilds:

-
-
-#### 1. update the drivers
-in the the “software updater” update drivers to the last version of the prop driver.
-
-#### 2. reboot
-to switch using to new driver
-
-#### 3. install docker
 ```bash
-sudo apt update
-sudo apt-get install curl
-sudo mkdir -m 0755 -p /etc/apt/keyrings
-curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
-echo \
-  "deb [arch="$(dpkg --print-architecture)" signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
-  "$(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME")" stable" | \
-  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
-sudo apt update
-sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin docker-compose -y
-sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
-newgrp docker
+mkdir -p user_data
 ```
 
-#### 4. docker & container toolkit
-```bash
-curl -fsSL https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/gpgkey | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/nvidia-container-toolkit-keyring.gpg
-echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/nvidia-container-toolkit-keyring.gpg] https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/stable/ubuntu22.04/amd64 /" | \
-sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia.list > /dev/null 
-sudo apt update
-sudo apt install nvidia-docker2 nvidia-container-runtime -y
-sudo systemctl restart docker
-```
+This directory is mounted into the container at runtime. You can place a `CMD_FLAGS.txt` inside it to pass persistent flags to the web UI (e.g., `--api`).
 
-#### 5. clone the repo
-```
-git clone https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui
-cd text-generation-webui
-```
-
-#### 6. prepare models
-download and place the models inside the models folder. tested with:

-
-#### 7. prepare .env file
-edit .env values to your needs.
-```bash
-cp .env.example .env
-nano .env
-```
-
-#### 8. startup docker container
-```bash
-docker compose up --build
-```
-
-### Manjaro
-manjaro/arch is similar to ubuntu just the dependency installation is more convenient
-
-#### update the drivers
-```bash
-sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
-```
-#### reboot
-```bash
-reboot
-```
-#### docker & container toolkit
-```bash
-yay -S docker docker-compose buildkit gcc nvidia-docker
-sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
-newgrp docker
-sudo systemctl restart docker # required by nvidia-container-runtime
-```
-
-#### continue with ubuntu task

-on older ubuntus you can manually install the docker compose plugin like this:
-```
-DOCKER_CONFIG=${DOCKER_CONFIG:-$HOME/.docker}
-mkdir -p $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins
-curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.17.2/docker-compose-linux-x86_64 -o $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins/docker-compose
-chmod +x $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins/docker-compose
-export PATH="$HOME/.docker/cli-plugins:$PATH"
-```
+Models can be downloaded through the web UI's “Model” tab once it's running, and they will be saved to `user_data/models/`.
