-## Building the containers
-
-```sh
-# container for the hub
-sudo podman build -t koji.hub -f container/hub/Dockerfile .
-
-# container for the builder
-sudo podman build -t koji.builder -f container/builder/Dockerfile .
-```
-
-## Running
-
-Run the database server, the kerberos kdc, and koji hub:
-```
-sudo ./run-koji-container.sh start
-```
-
-Run the koji builder:
-```
-sudo ./run-builder.sh
-```
-
-Create the tag infrastructure:
-```
-./make-tags.sh
-```
-
-## Verify installation
-
-Try connecting to koji hub locally via the `koji` command line client:
-```
-koji --server=http://localhost:80/kojihub --user=osbuild --password=osbuildpass --authtype=password hello
-grüezi, osbuild!
-
-You are using the hub at http://localhost:80/kojihub
-Authenticated via password
-```
-
-Check logs
-```
-sudo podman logs org.osbuild.koji.koji  # koji hub
-sudo podman logs org.osbuild.koji.kdc   # kerberos kdc
-```
-
-Execute into the container:
-```
-sudo podman exec -it org.osbuild.koji.koji /bin/bash
-sudo podman exec -it org.osbuild.koji.kdc /bin/bash
-sudo podman exec -it org.osbuild.koji.kojid /bin/bash
-```
-
-## Creating a compose
-The `compose.py` client can be used to create a compose via the koji plugins:
-```
-./compose.py --plain fedora 32 f32-candidate x86_64 --repo 'http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/32/Everything/$arch/os/'
