+## `docker-compose` configuration for [ThreeTwo](https://github.com/rishighan/threetwo)
+
+This repo contains the `docker-compose` files necessary to run:
+
+1. ThreeTwo UI
+2. `threetwo-core-service` and its dependencies
+3. `threetwo-metadata-service` and its dependencies
+
+
+#### Pre-requisites
+
+##### ComicVine
+
+To get ComicVine to work for metadata scraping and other functions, you _must_ have a ComicVine API key.
+You can get one [here.](https://comicvine.gamespot.com/api/) Metadata scraping will not work unless you supply an API key.
+
+##### AirDC++
+
+1. To use AirDC++, you need a working install of... [AirDC++](https://www.airdcpp.net/download)
+2. Then within the UI, you need to set up the connection at `Settings > Acquisition > AirDC++ > Connection`
+3. After successfully connecting, you need to select your default hubs for search under `Settings > Acquisition > AirDC++ > Hubs`
