+#### Container approach
+To run in containerd instead, build the image with `nerdctl build -t web-dashboard .`
+then `run` with `nerdctl run -p 3000:3000 web-dashboard`
+
+to pass the WS URL to the container, run with `-e NEXT_PUBLIC_WS_URL=ws://<hostname>:<port>/pvws/pv`

 ### Building
 For a production build, run `npm run build`. To start this build natively, use `npm run start`.
