 You should now see an interactive, zoomable Plotly heatmap.
 
+## 🐳 Running with Docker
+
+A `Dockerfile` is included so you can run both steps without installing Go or Python locally. Build the image once:
+
+```bash
+docker build -t spectogram .
+```
+
+### Step 1. Generate the spectrogram data
+
+Mount a local directory containing your audio file to `/app/data`, and generate the output into it:
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/app/data spectogram generate -in /app/data/audio.mp3 -out /app/data/spectrogram.png -json /app/data/spectrogram.json
+```
+
+### Step 2. View the Spectrogram
+
+Using the same mount, so the web viewer can find `spectrogram.json`:
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -p 8000:8000 -v "$(pwd)":/app/data spectogram serve
+```
+
+Then open `http://localhost:8000/web` in your browser, same as the local workflow above.
