-Running the client with Docker
-==============================
-
-You can use Docker Compose to quickly set up an environment for running and
-testing Certbot. To install Docker Compose, follow the instructions at
-https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/.
-
-.. note:: Linux users can simply run ``pip install docker-compose`` to get
-  Docker Compose after installing Docker Engine and activating your shell as
-  described in the :ref:`Getting Started <getting_started>` section.
-
-Now you can develop on your host machine, but run Certbot and test your changes
-in Docker. When using ``docker-compose`` make sure you are inside your clone of
-the Certbot repository. As an example, you can run the following command to
-check for linting errors::
-
-  docker-compose run --rm --service-ports development bash -c 'tox -e lint'
-
-You can also leave a terminal open running a shell in the Docker container and
-modify Certbot code in another window. The Certbot repo on your host machine is
-mounted inside of the container so any changes you make immediately take
-effect. To do this, run::
-
-  docker-compose run --rm --service-ports development bash
-
-Now running the check for linting errors described above is as easy as::
-
-  tox -e lint
