+# North West Shelf Flatback Turtles Conservation Program public website
+
+This project contains project dependencies and custom elements for the DBCA
+North West Shelf Flatback Turtles Conservation Program public website. The
+website is developed using the Drupal content management system.
+
+## Development
+
+The project dependencies (including Drupal) are installed and managed using Composer.
+Set up a local development environment like so:
+
+1. Install and set up Composer and any local dependencies.
+1. Clone the project locally.
+1. Change into the project directory and install dependencies: `composer install`
+1. Create a local configuration file at `web/sites/default/settings.php`
+1. Develop and test the site as normal, taking care to commit any custom elements
+   under `web/` into the project repository (while avoiding to commit "generic" elements).
+
+## Docker image
+
+To build a new Docker image from the `Dockerfile`:
+
+    docker image build -t ghcr.io/dbca-wa/flatbacks-website .
+
+## Docker Compose
+
+Use the included Compose file to start the required services to serve the project.
+Prerequisites:
+
+1. Docker image is built (see above).
+1. A local `settings.php` should be generated containing site configuration.
+1. Local `.env.mysql` and `.env.flatbacks` files should be created, containing secrets.
+1. Start services: `docker compose up`
+1. After Docker volumes are generated, copy the contents of `web` and `web/sites/default/files`
+   into the relevant Docker volumes so that the Nginx container can serve those files.
+
+`.env.mysql` example:
+
+    TZ=Australia/Perth
+    MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD=database_root_password
+
+`.env.flatbacks` example:
+
+    TZ=Australia/Perth
+    SALT_HASH=LongSaltValue
+    DATABASE_NAME=database_name
+    DATABASE_USERNAME=database_username
+    DATABASE_PASSWORD=database_password
+    DATABASE_HOST=mysql11
+    DATABASE_PORT=3306
+    REDIS_HOST=redis
+    REDIS_PORT=6379
