+This is a very hastely written solution to PTC's new Imperva protection. It uses 
+a real browser to pass it every ~15 minutes. All other logins are done like in the 
+past.
+
+## Docker installation (recommended)
+
+TODO
+
+copy the docker-compose config to your existing docker-compose file for the unown# stack, or on its own.
+if you have it on its own, you will need to make sure to uncomment the port mapping lines in the compose file. 
+keep in mind there is no authentication on this, so avoid exposing it to the public internet if possible. 
+
+copy `config.json.example` somewhere into the path of wherever your docker-compose file is, and name it whatever you'd like.
+update the `volumes` section in the docker-compose to match the file name and path of the new config file
+
+start the container with `docker-compose up -d`
+
+in your Dragonite config, add: 
+
+```toml
+[general]
+remote_auth_url = "http://maltelogin:<port>/v1/login-code"
+```
+
+this assumes you have everything in the same docker network. if you're hosting it externally, change the `maltelogin` hostname to
+something else accordingly.
+
+
+## Manual installation (not recommended)
+
+Note that this has to be run without root.
+
+copy config.example.json to config.json
+
+you need chromedriver installed, and it needs to be in your `PATH`.
+The easiest way to do this on ubuntu-like operating systems is `sudo apt install chromium-driver`.
