 # Mobius
 
-Mobius is a cross-platform command line [Hotline](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotline_Communications) server, client, and library developed in Golang.
+Mobius is a cross-platform command line [Hotline](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotline_Communications) client and server implemented in Golang.
+
+The goal of Mobius server is to make it simple to run a Hotline server on macOS, Linux, and Windows, with full compatibility for all popular Hotline clients.
+
+The goal of the Mobius client is to make it fun and easy to connect to multiple Hotline servers through a [cool retro terminal UI](https://github.com/jhalter/mobius/wiki/Mobius-Client-Screenshot-Gallery).
+
+## Getting started
+
+### Docker
+
+If you run Docker, you can quickly try out the Mobius server with the official image from Docker hub:
+
+    docker run --rm -p 5500:5500 -p 5501:5501 jhalter/mobius-hotline-server:latest
 
-The project aims to support Hotline functionality from versions v1.2.3 and >v1.5 (e.g. threaded news and folder transfers).
+This will start the Mobius server with the Hotline ports 5500 and 5501 exposed on localhost using a default configuration from the image.
 
-## Project status
+To edit the configuration and serve files from your host OS, include the `-v` option to setup a Docker [bind mount](https://docs.docker.com/storage/bind-mounts/):
 
-### Server
+       export HLFILES=/Users/foo/HotlineFiles #
+       docker run --rm -p 5500:5500 -p 5501:5501 -v $HLFILES:/usr/local/var/mobius/config jhalter/mobius-hotline-server:latest -init
 
-* Near feature complete
+You'll now find a configuration directory on your host OS populated with a default configuration:
 
-### Client
+```
+❯ ls -al $HLFILES
