+## Usage
 
-## Features
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Most modern web browsers disallow the use of Web Crypto APIs in insecure contexts. In this case, you might get an error like `Cannot read property 'importKey'`. To solve this problem, you need to access the web vault via HTTPS or localhost.
+>
+>This can be configured in [Vaultwarden directly](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki/Enabling-HTTPS) or using a third-party reverse proxy ([some examples](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki/Proxy-examples)).
+>
+>If you have an available domain name, you can get HTTPS certificates with [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/), or you can generate self-signed certificates with utilities like [mkcert](https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert). Some proxies automatically do this step, like Caddy or Traefik (see examples linked above).
+
+> [!TIP]
+>**For more detailed examples on how to install, use and configure Vaultwarden you can check our [Wiki](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki).**
 
-Basically full implementation of Bitwarden API is provided including:
+The main way to use Vaultwarden is via our container images which are published to [ghcr.io](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/pkgs/container/vaultwarden), [docker.io](https://hub.docker.com/r/vaultwarden/server) and [quay.io](https://quay.io/repository/vaultwarden/server).
 
- * Organizations support
- * Attachments and Send
- * Vault API support
- * Serving the static files for Vault interface
- * Website icons API
- * Authenticator and U2F support
- * YubiKey and Duo support
- * Emergency Access
+There are also [community driven packages](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki/Third-party-packages) which can be used, but those might be lagging behind the latest version or might deviate in the way Vaultwarden is configured, as described in our [Wiki](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki).
 
-## Installation
-Pull the docker image and mount a volume from the host for persistent storage:
+### Docker/Podman CLI
 
-```sh
+Pull the container image and mount a volume from the host for persistent storage.<br>
+You can replace `docker` with `podman` if you prefer to use podman.
+
+```shell
 docker pull vaultwarden/server:latest
-docker run -d --name vaultwarden -v /vw-data/:/data/ --restart unless-stopped -p 80:80 vaultwarden/server:latest
+docker run --detach --name vaultwarden \
+  --env DOMAIN="https://vw.domain.tld" \
+  --volume /vw-data/:/data/ \
+  --restart unless-stopped \
+  --publish 80:80 \
+  vaultwarden/server:latest
 ```
-This will preserve any persistent data under /vw-data/, you can adapt the path to whatever suits you.

Some proxies automatically do this step, like Caddy (see examples linked above).
+To use Docker compose you need to create a `compose.yaml` which will hold the configuration to run the Vaultwarden container.
 
-## Usage
-See the [vaultwarden wiki](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki) for more information on how to configure and run the vaultwarden server.
+```yaml
+services:
+  vaultwarden:
+    image: vaultwarden/server:latest
+    container_name: vaultwarden
+    restart: unless-stopped
+    environment:
+      DOMAIN: "https://vw.domain.tld"
+    volumes:
+      - ./vw-data/:/data/
+    ports:
+      - 80:80
+```
