 ## Docker
 
-*Pre-built docker images are available at `parity/substrate-telemetry-frontend` and `parity/substrate-telemetry-backend`.*
+### Building images
 
-### Run the backend and frontend
+To build the backend docker image, navigate into the `backend` folder of this repository and run:
 
-Obviously, the frontend need to be aware of the backend. In a similar way, your node will need to connect to the backend.
-For the sake of brevity below, I will name the containers `backend` and `frontend`. In a complex environment, you will want to use names such as `telemetry-backend` for instance to avoid conflicts with other `backend` containers.
-
-Let's start the backend first. We will be using the published [chevdor](https://hub.docker.com/u/chevdor) images here, feel free to replace with your own image.
-
-```sh
-docker run --rm -i --name backend -p 8000:8000 \
-  chevdor/substrate-telemetry-backend -l 0.0.0.0:8000
+```
+docker build -t substrate-telemetry-backend .
 ```
 
-Let's now start the frontend:
+The backend image contains both the `telemetry_core` and `telemetry_shard` binaries.
 
-```sh
-docker run --rm -i --name frontend --link backend -p 80:80 \
-  -e SUBSTRATE_TELEMETRY_URL=ws://localhost:8000/feed \
-  chevdor/substrate-telemetry-frontend
+To build the frontend docker image, navigate into the `frontend` folder and run:
+
+```
+docker build -t substrate-telemetry-frontend .
 ```
 
-WARNING: Do not forget the `/feed` part of the URL...
+### Run the backend and frontend using `docker-compose`
 
-NOTE: Here we used `SUBSTRATE_TELEMETRY_URL=ws://localhost:8000/feed`. This will work if you test with everything running locally on your machine but NOT if your backend runs on a remote server. Keep in mind that the frontend docker image is serving a static site running your browser. The `SUBSTRATE_TELEMETRY_URL` is the WebSocket url that your browser will use to reach the backend. Say your backend runs on a remore server at `192.168.0.100`, you will need to set the IP/url accordingly in `SUBSTRATE_TELEMETRY_URL`.
+The easiest way to run the backend and frontend images is to use `docker-compose`. To do this, run `docker-compose up` in the root of this repository to build and run the images. Once running, you can view the UI by navigating a browser to `http://localhost:3000`.
 
-At that point, you can already open your browser at [http://localhost](http://localhost/) and see that telemetry is waiting for data.
+To connect a substrate node and have it send telemetry to this running instance, you have to tell it where to send telemetry by appending the argument `--telemetry-url 'ws://localhost:8001/submit 0'` (see "Terminal 4 - Node" above).
 
-Let's bring some data in with  a node:
+### Run the backend and frontend using `docker`
+
+If you'd like to get things runing manually using Docker, you can do the following. This assumes that you've built the images as per the above, and have two images named `substrate-telemetry-backend` and `substrate-telemetry-frontend`.
+
+1. Create a new shared network so that the various containers can communicate with eachother:
+
+   ```
+   docker network create telemetry
+   ```
+
+2. Start up the backend core process. We expose port 8000 so that a UI running in a host browser can connect to the `/feed` endpoint.
+
+   ```
+   docker run --rm -it --network=telemetry \
+       --name backend-core \
+       -p 8000:8000 \
+       substrate-telemetry-backend \
+       telemetry_core -l 0.0.0.0:8000
+   ```
+
+3. In another terminal, start up the backend shard process. We tell it where it can reach the core to send messages (possible because it has been started on the same network), and we listen on and expose port 8001 so that nodes running in the host can connect and send telemetry to it.
+
+   ```
+   docker run --rm -it --network=telemetry \
+       --name backend-shard \
+       -p 8001:8001 \
+       substrate-telemetry-backend \
+       telemetry_shard -l 0.0.0.0:8001 -c http://backend-core:8000/shard_submit
+   ```
+
+4. In another terminal, start up the frontend server. We pass a `SUBSTRATE_TELEMETRY_URL` env var to tell the UI how to connect to the core process to receive telemetry. This is relative to the host machine, since that is where the browser and UI will be running.
+
+   ```
+   docker run --rm -it --network=telemetry \
+       --name frontend \
+       -p 3000:80 \
+       -e SUBSTRATE_TELEMETRY_URL=ws://localhost:8000/feed \
+       substrate-telemetry-frontend
+   ```
+
+   **NOTE:** Here we used `SUBSTRATE_TELEMETRY_URL=ws://localhost:8000/feed`. This will work if you test with everything running locally on your machine but NOT if your backend runs on a remote server. Keep in mind that the frontend docker image is serving a static site running your browser. The `SUBSTRATE_TELEMETRY_URL` is the WebSocket url that your browser will use to reach the backend. Say your backend runs on a remote server at `foo.example.com`, you will need to set the IP/url accordingly in `SUBSTRATE_TELEMETRY_URL` (in this case, to `ws://foo.example.com/feed`).
+
+With these running, you'll be able to navigate to [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) to view the UI. If you'd like to connect a node and have it send telemetry to your running shard, you can run the following:
 
 ```sh
-docker run --rm -i --name substrate --link backend -p 9944:9944 \
-  chevdor/substrate substrate --dev --telemetry-url 'ws://backend:8000/submit 0'
+docker run --rm -it --network=telemetry \
+  --name substrate \
+  -p 9944:9944 \
+  chevdor/substrate \
+  substrate --dev --telemetry-url 'ws://backend-shard:8001/submit 0'
 ```

-### Run via docker-compose
-
-To run via docker make sure that you have Docker Desktop.
-If you don't you can download for you OS here [Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop)
-
-```sh
-docker-compose up --build -d
-```
-
-- `-d` stands for detach, if you would like to see logs I recommend using [Kitmatic](https://kitematic.com/) or don't use the `-d`
-- `--build` will build the images and rebuild, but this is not required every time
-- If you want to makes UI changes, there is no need to rebuild the image as the files are being copied in via volumes.
-
-Now navigate to [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000/) in your browser to view the app.
-
 ### Build & Publish the Frontend docker image
 
 The building process is standard. You just need to notice that the Dockerfile is in ./packages/frontend/ and tell docker about it. The context must remain the repository's root though.

+# Backend Crates
+
+This folder contains the rust crates and documentation specific to the telemetry backend. A description of the folders:
+
+- [telemetry_core](./telemetry_core): The Telemetry Core. This aggregates data received from shards and allows UI feeds to connect and receive this information.
+- [telemetry_shard](./telemetry_shard): A Shard. It's expected that multiple of these will run. Nodes will connect to Shard instances and send JSON telemetry to them, and Shard instances will each connect to the Telemetry Core and relay on relevant data to it.
+- [common](./common): common code shared between the telemetry shard and core
+- [test_utils](./test_utils): Test utilities, primarily focused around making it easy to run end-to-end tests.
+- [docs](./docs): Material supporting the documentation lives here
+
+# Architecture
+
+As we move to a sharded version of this telemetry server, this set of architecture diagrams may be useful in helping to understand the current setup (middle diagram), previous setup (first diagram) and possible future setup if we need to scale further (last diagram):
+
+![Architecture Diagram](./docs/architecture.svg)
+
+# Deployment
+
+A `Dockerfile` exists which builds the Shard and Telemetry Core binaries into an image. A `docker-compose.yaml` in the root of the repository can serve as an example of these services, along with the UI, running together.

+Extract the "real" IP address of the connection by looking at headers
+set by proxies (this is inspired by Actix Web's implementation of the feature).
+
+First, check for the standardised "Forwarded" header. This looks something like:
+
+"Forwarded: for=12.34.56.78;host=example.com;proto=https, for=23.45.67.89"
+
+Each proxy can append to this comma separated list of forwarded-details. We'll look for
+the first "for" address and try to decode that.
+
+If this doesn't yield a result, look for the non-standard but common X-Forwarded-For header,
+which contains a comma separated list of addresses; each proxy in the potential chain possibly
+appending one to the end. So, take the first of these if it exists.
+
+If still no luck, look for the X-Real-IP header, which we expect to contain a single IP address.
+
+If that _still_ doesn't work, fall back to the socket address of the connection.

+description: A Helm chart for Kubernetes
+
+# A chart can be either an 'application' or a 'library' chart.
+#
+# Application charts are a collection of templates that can be packaged into versioned archives
+# to be deployed.
+#
+# Library charts provide useful utilities or functions for the chart developer. They're included as
+# a dependency of application charts to inject those utilities and functions into the rendering
+# pipeline. Library charts do not define any templates and therefore cannot be deployed.
+type: application
+
+# This is the chart version. This version number should be incremented each time you make changes
+# to the chart and its templates, including the app version.
+# Versions are expected to follow Semantic Versioning (https://semver.org/)
+version: 0.1.0
+
+# This is the version number of the application being deployed. This version number should be
+# incremented each time you make changes to the application. Versions are not expected to
+# follow Semantic Versioning. They should reflect the version the application is using.
+# It is recommended to use it with quotes.
