-## Installing git hooks
-
-This repo contains a pre-commit git hook so indent will run before every
-commit. Run `npm run setup-hooks` to install it.
-
-## Running migrations on the docker environment
-
-After building the app with docker compose, you can set up the database
-with `docker exec forum_forum_1 npm run db:setup`. This will run
-migrations and seed default data.
-
-If you only want to run migrations, you should run
-`docker exec forum_forum_1 npm run db:migrate` instead.
-
-If you only want to seed the database, you should run
-`docker exec forum_forum_1 npm run db:seed` instead.
+This project depends on the [forum server][forum-server], so make sure
+that's running before starting.
