+### Building Docker Images Locally
+
+You can build Docker images without requiring [goreleaser](https://goreleaser.com/):
+
+```bash
+# Quick local build (recommended for development)
+make docker-build-local
+
+# This produces: ghcr.io/thushan/olla:local
+```
+
+If you have goreleaser installed, use the full release build:
+
+```bash
+# Full goreleaser build with all platforms and tags
+make docker-build
+```
+
+### Running the Docker Image
+
+```bash
+# Run the locally built image
+docker run -p 40114:40114 \
+  -v "$(pwd)/config/config.local.yaml:/config/config.yaml:ro" \
+  -e OLLA_CONFIG_FILE=/config/config.yaml \
+  ghcr.io/thushan/olla:local
+
+# Or use the convenience make target
+make docker-run
+```
