 ## Docker
 
+Other than using one of the examples provided in the `examples` folder, you can also try it out locally by 
+creating a configuration file - we'll call it `config.yaml` for this example - and running the following 
+command:
 ```
-docker run -p 8080:8080 --name gatus twinproduction/gatus
+docker run -p 8080:8080 --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)"/test.yaml,target=/config/config.yaml --name gatus twinproduction/gatus
 ```
 
+If you're on Windows, replace `"$(pwd)"` by the absolute path to your current directory, e.g.:
+```
+docker run -p 8080:8080 --mount type=bind,source=E:/Go/src/github.com/TwinProduction/gatus/test.yaml,target=/config/config.yaml --name gatus twinproduction/gatus
+```
