-### Install on Linux
+There are multiple way to startup a Statup server. You want to make sure Statup is on it's own instance that is not on the same server as the applications you wish to monitor. 
+It doesn't look good when your Status Page goes down, I recommend a small EC2 instance so you can set it, and forget it.
+
+## Run on AWS EC2
+Running Statup on the smallest EC2 server is very quick using the AWS AMI Image: `ami-1f7c3567`.
 ```
-bash <(curl -s https://statup.io/install.sh)
+aws ec2 run-instances \ 
+    --image-id ami-1f7c3567 \
+    --count 1 \ 
+    --instance type t2.micro \ 
+    --region us-west-2
+    --key-name <key name> \ 
+    --security-group-ids <your security group id here> \ 
+    --subnet-id <your subnet id here> \ 
+    --region <your region here>
+```
+
+## Docker Compose
+In this folder there is a standard docker-compose file that include nginx, postgres, and Statup. 
+```$xslt
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+## Docker Compose with Automatic SSL
+You can automatically start a Statup server with automatic SSL encryption using this docker-compose file. First point your domain's DNS to the Statup server, and then run this docker-compose command with DOMAIN and EMAIL. Email is for letsencrypt services.
+```
+DOMAIN=mydomain.com EMAIL=info@mydomain.com \
+    docker-compose -f docker-compose-ssl.yml up -d
 ```
