+# Liam Pietralla Porfolio
+
+The portfolio is built using Next.JS and Payload CMS. Payload is running directly in the Next app, and can be accessed by appending /admin to the route. 
+
+Next is currently using a sqlite database and local file storage. Both are output to a `portfolio-data` directory. 
+
+## Development
+
+To develop the application use pnpm to install the dependencies:
+
+```bash
+pnpm install
+```
+
+Once downloaded you can use pnpm to run the project:
+
+```bash
+pnpm dev
+```
+
+### Payload CMS
+
+Payload will require rebuilding on the types file once any changes are made: 
+
+```bash
+pnpm run payload:generate:types
+```
+
+In local mode payload will apply any changes to the config to the database automatically. To generate a migration once changes are made, you can use the following command:
+
+```bash
+pnpm run payload:migrate:create
+```
+
+## Deploying
+
+Deploying the portfolio is done as a docker container. It can be built with the following command:
+
+```bash
+docker build -t liam-portfolio .
+```
+
+### Running the Container
+
+Once the container is built, you can run it with the following command:
+
+```bash
+docker run -p 3000:3000 -v liam-portfolio-data:/app/portfolio-data -e PAYLOAD_SECRET=your_secret liam-portfolio
+```
