+# bridgehead
+
+This repository contains all tools to deploy a bridgehead with docker. If you have any questions about deploying a bridgehead, please contact us.
+
+There are some prerequisites, which need to be meet before starting a bridgehead. If you running a Windows or Mac OS machine you should read starting a bridgehead. If you running a Linux machine you can start or install a bridgehead.
+
+## Setup
+
+Clone this repository to /srv/docker/
+
+The first step is to copy the site.conf. It contains some configuration and secrets for your bridgehead.
+
+With cp site.dev.conf site.conf you can clone the template. You need to set the project accoriding to the which bridgehead you want to start. It's either a GBN/BBMRI-ERIC, DKTK, DKTK-FED or C4 Bridgehead.
+
+Each Project needs a .env file where all the settings are located. Each Project has a template for it in their respective folder. We offer you to setup the file with and also to manage it.
+
+### DKTK-FED
+
+For the DKTK Federate Search put dkkt-fed as project in the site.conf.
+
+## Starting the bridgehead
+
+./install_bridgehead
