+# Doccano Offline Deployment
+
+## Use Case
+These offline deployment scripts are suited for deploying Doccano on an airgaped Ubuntu 18.04/20.04 virtual machine (VM 2) with no internet connectivity.
+
+The preparation requires another machine (VM 1) with internet access and `docker`/`docker-compose` preinstalled and running the same Ubuntu distribution as VM 2.  
+
+The focus is primarily on the `docker-compose`-based production deployment.
+
+## Setup Steps
+
+Run the following steps on VM 1:  
+1. Clone this repository  
+2. Run the scripts `offline_01_*.sh` in ascending order  
+   Skip OR modify and run the script `offline_01_1_2-optional_use_https`  
+
+Now, move over to VM 2  
+
+3. Copy the repository folder to VM 2  
+4. Run the scripts `offline_02_*.sh` in ascending order  
+5. Make minor changes on `docker-compose.prod.yml` to change the admin credentials  
+6. Run `docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up` or use the script `offline_03_*.sh`
