@@ -8,11 +8,18 @@ Users to use Webtop in their own, separate session. A good illustration is this:
 To build the project, you can just use "make"
 
 On Debian 12, you will need the following dependencies:
-```
+```sh
 apt install -y git wget podman make gcc libgpgme-dev build-essential pkgconf pkgconf-bin libdevmapper-dev libbtrfs-dev
 ```
 
-## Running
-To run the built binary, just execute it as root. You will have to have Podman installed and its socket enabled.
-Currently you have to set the Image, port etc. directly in the Source Code, however that should be eventually moved into
-a config file.
+## Installing
+Executing `make install` will install and start podterminal as a systemd service, including an example config file.
+
+## Usage
+There is some basic Documentation in the config file to explain the usage of the keys. For more in-depth explanations 
+feel free to contact me, and I will add it to the documentation
+
+## Known Bugs
+- Images need to be pulled first as root
+- Not compatible with default KASM Docker images (needs http WSS access)
+- reloading browser on startup might be necessary, especially if the target image is slow to start
