-### What is LaraDock?
+## Intro
-
-**LaraDock** helps you run your **Laravel** App on **Docker** in seconds.
 
 LaraDock strives to make the development experience easier.
 It contains pre-packaged Docker Images that provides you a wonderful development environment without requiring you to install PHP, NGINX, MySQL, REDIS, and any other software on your local machine.
 
 
+
 ### What is Docker?
 
 [Docker](https://www.docker.com)  is an open-source project that automates the deployment of applications inside software containers, by providing an additional layer of abstraction and automation of [operating-system-level virtualization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating-system-level_virtualization) on Linux, Mac OS and Windows.
@@ -40,10 +62,20 @@ Seriously!!!
 Instead of providing a full Virtual Machines, like you get with Vagrant, Docker provides you **lightweight** Virtual Containers, that share the same kernel and allow to safely execute independent processes.

+## Installation
+
+What is better than watching a video tutorial!! 
+<br>
+If you prefer watch this [screencast](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGkyO6Is_aI), for how to install and use this tool.
+
+<br>
+
+1 - Clone the `LaraDock` repository, in any of your `Laravel` projects:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/LaraDock/laradock.git docker
+```
+
+Instead of `git clone` you can use `git submodule add` in case you are already using Git for your Laravel project *(Recommended)*:
+
+```bash
+git submodule add https://github.com/LaraDock/laradock.git docker
+```
+
+>These commands should create a `docker` folder, on the root directory of your Laravel project.
 
 
 <a name="Usage"></a>
 ## Usage
 
-1 - First install any version of Laravel, or use any of your existing Laravel projects.
+>**(Windows & MAC users)** Make sure you have a running Docker Virtual Host on your machine first. 
+><br>
+>[How to run a Docker Virtual Host?](#Run-Docker-Virtual-Host)
 
-2 - Open your terminal and go to your Laravel project directory.
 
-3 - Create a new folder on the root directory of your Laravel project and name it `docker` then go into it.
+<br>
-
+1 - Open your Laravel's `.env` file and set the `DB_HOST` to your `{Docker-IP}`:
-```bash
-mkdir docker && cd $_
-```
-
-3 - Clone the LaraDock repository inside that `docker` folder.
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/LaraDock/laradock.git .
-```
-
-4 - Find your Docker IP address.
-
-- If you are on Linux OS: your IP Address is `127.0.0.1` because the containers run directly on your localhost.
-- If you are on MAC or Windows OS and using the **docker-machine**: start your docker machine then type `docker-machine ip {vm-name-here}`. *(The default IP is 192.168.99.100)*
-- If you are on MAC or Windows OS and using **boot2docker**: type `boot2docker ip` when boot2docker is up.
-
-5 - Open your hosts file `/etc/hosts`.
-
-```bash
-sudo nano /etc/hosts
-```
-
-6 - Map your `Docker IP` to the `laravel.dev` domain, by adding the following to the `hosts` file. 
-
-```bash
-xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx          laravel.dev
-```
-
-Don't forget to replace the `xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx` with your Docker IP Address.
-
-7 - Open `docker-compose.yml` file and replace the `xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx` with your Docker IP Adress as well.
-
-8 - Open your Laravel's `.env` file and set the `DB_HOST` and the `REDIS_HOST` to `laravel.dev` instead of the default `127.0.0.1`.
 
 ```env
-DB_HOST=laravel.dev
+DB_HOST=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
-REDIS_HOST=laravel.dev
 ```
+[How to find my Docker IP Address?](#Find-Docker-IP-Address)
 
-If you want to use Redis for Caching and/or for Sessions Management, set `CACHE_DRIVER` and `SESSION_DRIVER` to `redis` instead of the default `file`.
+<br>
-
+2 - Run the containers: 
-```env
+<br>
-CACHE_DRIVER=redis
+*(Make sure you are in the `docker` folder before running this command)*
-SESSION_DRIVER=redis
-```
-
-9 - Finally run the containers. Make sure you are in the `docker` folder before running this command.
 
 ```bash
 docker-compose up -d
 ```
 
-*"Note: Only the first time you run this command, it will take up to 7 minutes (depend on your connection speed) to download the images to your local machine.*
+>*Only the first time you run this command, it will take up to 5 minutes (depend on your connection speed) to download the Docker Images on your local machine.*
 
-10 - Open your browser and visit `http://laravel.dev`
+<br>
-
+3 - Open your browser and visit your `{Docker-IP}` address (`http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx`).
-
-> Debugging: in case you faced an error here, it might be that you forget to provide some permissions for Laravel, so try running the following command on the Laravel rood directory:
-`sudo chmod -R 777 storage && sudo chmod -R 777 bootstrap/cache`

-To prevent a container (software) from running, open the `docker-compose.yml` file, and comment out the container section or remove it entirely.

+
+If you don't find the `REDIS_HOST` variable in your `.env` file. Go to the database config file `config/database.php` and replace the `127.0.0.1` with your `Docker-IP` for Redis like this:
+
+```php
+'redis' => [
+    'cluster' => false,

+
+Finally make sure you have the `predis/predis` package `(~1.0)` installed via Composer first.

-#### Add an Image (add a software to run with other Containers)
+<br>
-To add an image (software), just edit the `laradock/docker/docker-compose.yml` and add your container details, to do so you need to be familiar with the [docker compose file syntax](https://docs.docker.com/compose/yml/).
+<a name="Use-custom-Domain"></a>
+#### Use custom Domain (instead of the Docker IP)
+
+Assuming your custom domain is `laravel.dev` and your current `Docker-IP` is `xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx`.
+
+1 - Open your `/etc/hosts` file and map your `Docker IP` to the `laravel.dev` domain, by adding the following:
+
+```bash
+xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx    laravel.dev
+```
+
+2 - Open your Laravel's `.env` file and replace the `127.0.0.1` default values with your `{Docker-IP}`.
+<br>
+Example:
+
+```env
+DB_HOST=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
+```
+
+3 - Open the nginx config file `docker/settings/nginx/default` and add this in the `server`:
+
+```
+server_name laravel.dev;

+
+4 - Open your browser and visit `{http://laravel.dev}`
