 ## Usage
 
+This container listens on port 8080, and relies on [**OAuth2 Proxy**](https://github.com/oauth2-proxy/oauth2-proxy) for authentication.
+
+Environment variables:
+| Variable name | Example value | Description |
+| ------------- | ------------- | ----------- |
+| SPAWNER_HOST | `container-spawner` | The hostname of the [**Container Spawner**](https://git.jacknet.io/jackhadrill/container-spawner), responsible for spawning new containers. |
+| CONTAINER_HOST_PREFIX | `vscode` | A prefix used by the [**Container Spawner**](https://git.jacknet.io/jackhadrill/container-spawner) which, when prepended to the user's username, represents the user's bespoke container hostname.<br />Example: `vscode-jack` |
+| CONTAINER_PORT | `8080` | The port number used by the spawned container for incoming connections. |
+
+An example `docker-compose.yml` is shown below.
+

+## Process description
+
+The following steps describe how [**Container Spawner**](https://git.jacknet.io/jackhadrill/container-spawner) and **Container Director** work together in order to spawn bespoke containers, on behalf of users authenticated through **OAuth2 Proxy**.
+
+1. A user logs in via **OAuth2 Proxy**.
+   - After a successful login **OAuth2 Proxy** proxies the original request to **Container Director**, adding a `X-Forwarded-Preferred-Username` request header, which contains the user's username.
+2. **Container Director** tries to proxy the original request once more to the user's bespoke container `http://<CONTAINER_HOST_PREFIX>-<X-Forwarded-Preferred-Username>:<CONTAINER_PORT>`.
+   - For example: `http://vscode-jack:8080`.
+3. If the bespoke container does not respond, **Container Director** will proxy the same request to [**Container Spawner**](https://git.jacknet.io/jackhadrill/container-spawner).
+4. [**Container Spawner**](https://git.jacknet.io/jackhadrill/container-spawner) returns a loading page with a refresh timer. Meanwhile, it will check to see if the user's bespoke container exists.
+   - If not, the user's bespoke container will be created.
+   - If it does, something has gone wrong. Return a useful error message!
