+# Developer env
+
+The basic starting enviroment will be created using `docker-compose`.
+This environment will start up the openstack services listed in the
+compose directory.
+
+To start, setup your environment variables.
+
+    $ cd kolla
+    $ ./tools/genenv.sh
+
+The `genenv.sh` script will create an openstack.env file
+and an openrc file in your current directory. The openstack.env
+file contains all of your initialized environment variables, which
+you can edit for a different setup.
+
+Next, run the start script.
+
+    $ ./start.sh
+
+The `start.sh` script is responsible for starting the containers
+using `docker-compose -f <osp-service-container> up -d`.
+
+If you want to start a container set by hand use this template
+
+    $ docker-compose -f glance-api-registry.yml up -d
+
+# Debug
+
+You can follow a container's status by doing
+
+    $ sudo docker ps -a
+
+If any of the containers exited you can check the logs by doing
+
+    $ sudo docker logs <glance-api-container>
+    $ docker-compose logs <glance-api-container>
+
+If you want to start a individual service like `glance-api` by hand, then use this template.  This is a good method to test and troubleshoot an individual container.
+
+    $ docker run --name glance-api -d \
+             --net=host
+             --env-file=openstack.env kollaglue/fedora-rdo-glance-api:latest
