+=====================
+How to use OpenTAXII?
+=====================
+
+Requirements
+============
+
+* `Docker Engine and Docker Compose <https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/>`__
+* `taxii2-client <https://taxii2client.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`__ (for TAXII 2.1)
+
+Run OpenTAXII
+=================
+
+#.  Create the ``opentaxii.yml`` file and fill it in with the following:
+
+    ..  code-block:: yaml
+
+        ---
+        domain: "localhost:9000"
+        support_basic_auth: yes
+
+        auth_api:
+          class: opentaxii.auth.sqldb.SQLDatabaseAPI
+          parameters:
+            db_connection: sqlite:////data/auth.db
+            create_tables: yes
+            secret: <secret_password1>
+
+        taxii1:
+
+        taxii2:
+          persistence_api:
+            class: opentaxii.persistence.sqldb.Taxii2SQLDatabaseAPI
+            parameters:
+              db_connection: sqlite:////data/data.db
+              create_tables: yes
+          title: "My OpenTAXII Server"
+          description: "My OpenTAXII server runs with TAXII 2"
+          max_content_length: 209715200
+          public_discovery: true
+
+    Change the value for the secret to a more secure value.
+
+#.  Create a ``docker-compose.yml`` file and fill it in with the following:
+
+    ..  code-block:: yaml
+    
+        version: '3.8'
+        services:
+          opentaxii:
+            image: eclecticiq/opentaxii
+            volumes:
+              - ./:/input:ro
+            ports:
+              - 9000:9000
+
+#.  Run Docker Compose.
+
+    ..  code-block:: bash
+
+        docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up
+
+#.  Stop Docker Compose using ``Ctrl + C``.
+
+    .. Note::
+
+    Alternatively, add the ``-d`` flag to run Docker Compose in the background.
+    In that case, run ``docker compose --env-file .env -f docker-compose.yml down`` to stop OpenTAXII.
+
+Configure OpenTAXII
+===================
+
+#.  Create a ``data-configuration.yml`` file and fill it in with the following:
+
+    ..  code-block:: yaml
+    
+        ---
+        accounts:
+          - username: admin
+            password: <secret_password2>
+            is_admin: yes
+
+    Change the value for the passwords to more secure values.
+
+#.  Open a shell session into your OpenTAXII container
+
+    ..  code-block:: bash
+
+        docker exec -it test-opentaxii-1 bash
+
+#.  Run ``opentaxii-sync-data`` with the ``data-configuration.yml`` file.
+
+    ..  code-block:: bash
+      
+        opentaxii-sync-data -f /input/data-configuration.yaml
+
+Interact with OpenTAXII
+=======================
+
+#.  In a Python shell, import the `taxii2client` library.
+
+    ..  code-block:: python
+
+        import taxii2client
+
+#.  Connect to your OpenTAXII Server.
+
+    .. code-block:: python
+
+        server = taxii2client.Server(url='http://localhost:9000/taxii2/',
+                                     user='admin',
+                                     password='<same-password-set-in-data-configuration')
+
+#.  Print your server's information.
+
+    ..  code-block:: python
+
+        print(server.title)
