+### Running using Docker
+
+Spothole comes with a Docker configuration to make it easy to run it in a containerised environment. To set it up using
+Docker, the easiest way is to use a Docker Compose file. Create a new directory such as `/opt/docker/spothole` and
+create a `compose.yaml` file inside it with the following contents:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  spothole:
+    container_name: spothole
+    build:
+      context: https://git.ianrenton.com/ian/spothole.git#latest
+    restart: unless-stopped
+    ports:
+      - "8080:8080"
+    volumes:
+      - ./config.yml:/app/config.yml
+      - ./cache:/app/cache
+```
+
+Save the file. You will still need to create a copy of `config-example.yml` and name it `config.yml`, though with the
+Docker setup nothing has actually been downloaded yet, so you will have to copy the example from the repository some
+other way, e.g. [from the repo in a web browser](https://git.ianrenton.com/ian/spothole/src/branch/main/config-example.yml).
+
+With that in place, run `docker compose up` and you should be good to go. To detach, press `d` or run the command with
+the `-d` flag.

     ## Changelog
     
-    ### 2.0
-
-    * POST `/spot` now supports upstream submission to the spotting services associated with various SIGs.
-    * **Breaking change:** The "add spot" API has changed to enable this: instead of just posting the spot object itself as the JSON content of the POST, this has moved into a `spot` object within the structure. A new `handling` object alongside it contains the `submit_upstream`, `upstream_provider`, `upstream_credentials`, and `captcha_token` fields which control the server handling of the spot.
-    * POST `/spot` now supports Google reCaptcha and (if the site owner has set it up) now requires `captcha_token` in order to successfully submit. (This is used to lock down the submit function and prevent submission via Spothole by bots or third-party clients.)
-    * GET `/options` now returns `spot_submit_providers`, a map of SIG names to the names of providers that support upstream spot submission for that SIG. (This allows clients to present the user with options of where a new spot can be sent to.)
-    * **Breaking change:** A user's QRZ.com and HamQTH credentials are now supplied as request headers (`X-QRZ-Username`, `X-QRZ-Password`, `X-QRZ-Session-Key`, `X-HamQTH-Username`, `X-HamQTH-Password`, `X-HamQTH-Session-ID`) rather than query parameters, to keep credentials out of server logs.
-
     ### 1.4
     
     * Spots can now include a "propagation_mode" field, and the `/options` call enumerates the options that can have.
+    * Added support for the Diploma de Municipios Españoles (DME) SIG
+    * Renamed some SIGs to avoid confusion between Towers, Tiles and Toilets
+    * Added `comment_names` to SIGs in the `/options`, to reflect how they might be referred to in spot comments where
+      it differs from their `name`.
+    * Added `propagation_mode` field to spots
