 Building the Documentation
---------------------------
+==========================
 
-First `install Sphinx`_ and `install enchant`_ (e.g. ``sudo apt-get install enchant``),
-then download the requirements:
+We build the documentation with Sphinx. You could install it on your system or use Docker.
+
+
+Install Sphinx
+--------------
+
+
+Install on local machine
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The installation for Sphinx differs between system. See `Sphinx installation page`_ for details. When Sphinx is
+installed you need to `install enchant`_ (e.g. ``sudo apt-get install enchant``).
+
+
+Using Docker
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If you are using docker. Run the following commands from the repository root.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD":/doc phphttp/documentation
+    $ # You are now in the docker image
+    $ make html
+    $ make spelling
+
+Alternatively you can run the commands directly from the host
+without entering the container shell:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ docker run --rm -t -v "$PWD":/doc phphttp/documentation make html
+    $ docker run --rm -t -v "$PWD":/doc phphttp/documentation make spelling
+
+.. warning::
+
+    The Docker container runs with `root` user by default
+    which means the owner of the generated files will be `root`
+    on the host too.
+
+
+Build documentation
+-------------------
+
+Before we can build the documentation we have to make sure to install all requirements.
