+## Docker Deployment
+
+You can build and run the telemetry server using Docker locally or on a remote host.
+
+### Build
+
+- Using Docker Compose (recommended):
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f telemetry/docker-compose.yml build telemetry-server
+```
+
+- Using docker build directly (from the repository root):
+
+```bash
+docker build -t seaweedfs-telemetry \
+  -f telemetry/server/Dockerfile \
+  .
+```
+
+### Run
+
+- With Docker Compose:
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f telemetry/docker-compose.yml up -d telemetry-server
+```
+
+- With docker run:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name telemetry-server \
+  -p 8080:8080 \
+  seaweedfs-telemetry
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- The container runs as a non-root user by default.
+- The image listens on port `8080` inside the container. Map it with `-p <host_port>:8080`.
+- You can pass flags to the server by appending them after the image name, e.g. `docker run -d -p 8353:8080 seaweedfs-telemetry -port=8353 -dashboard=false`.
