-## Controller set up
+## All-In-One scripts
+We have two all-in-one scripts, namely:
+- qa-lxd.sh
+- qa-microk8s.sh
+These scripts respectively spin up jimm in compose, setup controllers in the targeted environment
+and handle connectivity. Finally, adding a test model to Q/A against.
+
+Please ensure you've run "make dev-env-setup" first though!
+
+## Manual
+### Controller set up
 
 Note that you can export an environment variable `CONTROLLER_NAME` and re-run steps 3. and 4. below to create multiple Juju
 controllers that will be controlled by JIMM.
 
 1. `juju unregister jimm-dev`                     - Unregister any other local JIMM you have.
-2. `juju login jimm.localhost -c jimm-dev`        - Login to local JIMM with `Username: jimm-test, Password: password`. (If you name the controller jimm-dev, the script will pick it up!)
+2. `juju login jimm.localhost -c jimm-dev`        - Login to local JIMM with username "jimm-test" password "password"
 3. `./local/jimm/setup-controller.sh`             - Performs controller setup.
 4. `./local/jimm/add-controller.sh`               - A local script to do many of the manual steps for us. See script for more details.
-5. `juju add-model test`                          - Adds a model to qa-controller via JIMM.
+5. `juju add-model test`                          - Adds a model to qa-lxd via JIMM.

+# Explanation:
+# JIMM needs to contact the controller and cannot do so from the docker compose to microk8s easily.
+# As such, we turn the controllers default service into a node port service.
+# This allows the service to be access on the hosts network at 30040.
+
+# Next, we have TLS issues as the controller only has limited SANs, one of them being "juju-apiserver"
+# As such, we update jimm's container to map juju-apiserver to "172.17.0.1". This IP address is dockers
+# host network interface address, enabling access to the localhost of the host.
+
+# Finally, we update jimmctls info output attempt to contact the controller on "juju-apiserver"
+# and due to the SAN matching, having a nodeport available and using dockers host network interface,
+# we can contact.
+
+# For routing explanation:
+# JIMM -> jujuapi-server -> 172.17.0.1 -> localhost (of the host) -> localhost:30040 -> NodePort -> Cluster -> Controller
+
+go build ./cmd/jimmctl
