-There are several known issues at the time of writing of this document:

-
-you can check their actual status on GitHub
-
-
-## Using Docker on Raspberry Pi
-
-Install docker-compose: https://medium.com/@techiebouncer/install-docker-and-docker-compose-on-raspberry-pi-4-raspbian-buster-c5b78b9a0d08
-
-Clone this repo.
-```
-git clone https://github.com/stakwork/sphinx-relay.git
-```
-
-Copy your id_rsa to clone the private lnd-lean repo.
+Scan the generated QR code with your iOS or Android Sphinx client.
 
-```
-cp ~/.ssh/id_rsa .
-```
+> You should see `[socket.io] connected!` in your Relay console output.
 
-Build it.
-
-```
-docker-compose build
-```
-
-Edit your docker-compose.yml file replacing NODE_IP and NODE_ALIAS.
-
-Relay will run on port 3000 local. You would need to point your router's port forwarding from 80 to 3000 to your docker machine.
-
-Start up LND separately first.
-
-```
-docker-compose up lnd
-```
+Add some friends' adresses and start chatting!
 
-- In another terminal, go to the project folder and run.
+## Connecting a Desktop client
 
-```
-docker-compose exec lnd bash
-```
+As of the time of this writing, neither of the Desktop Sphinx clients can scan Relay QR codes, nor directly import the connection string (printed by Relay just above the QR code).
 
-Once you're given a bash, run `ping lnd` and take note of the IP, this is because we need to tell Relay where lnd is via the IP, this is a temporary measure due to the limitation of the grpc connection can only be done via IP and not domain name.
+To connect your Desktop Sphinx to your Relay:
+-  connect a mobile Sphinx client;
+-  open Profile in your mobile client;
+-  Export Private Key (key will be stored in your device's clipboard);
+-  send the private key to your Desktop and paste it to the connection input field.
 
-Edit your app.json file inside config and on the `production` key replace `node_ip` with the one from the ping.
+> You should see `[socket.io] connected!` in your Relay console output.
 
-Run Relay.
+## Troubleshooting
 
-```
-docker-compose up node_server
-```
+### Mobile Sphinx does not scan the generated QR code
 
-Create / Unlock your wallet
+- restart the Relay machine;
+- connect as `admin`;
+- switch to user `bitcoin` with `sudo su bitcoin`;
+- make sure `NODE_IP` environment variable contains correct `<IP>:<port>` values, `export` again if necessary;
+- `cd ~/sphinx-relay; npm run prod`
 
-```
-docker-compose exec lnd lncli create
+### Messages sent with your Relay are delivered empty or not delivered at all
 
-docker-compose exec lnd lncli unlock
+Make small manual lightning payments to the Sphinx.chat LND
+```bash
+$ lncli sendpayment --dest=023d70f2f76d283c6c4e58109ee3a2816eb9d8feb40b23d62469060a2b2867b77f --final_cltv_delta=10 --amt=5 --keysend
 ```
+Then make manual payments to your destination address.
 
-NOTE: All lncli commands need to be prepended with `docker-compose exec lnd`, this tells docker to execute **something** on the lnd container.
-
-## Without Docker
-
-You can run your own Sphinx node in order to have full ownership over your communication!
-
-### guide
-
-mynode users: here is a complete guide provided by someone who is running Relay at home: [MyNode Guide](https://github.com/stakwork/sphinx-relay/blob/master/install_guide_myNode_and_Raspiblitz.md)
+Make sure all payments complete successfully.
 
-### download
-
-`git clone https://github.com/stakwork/sphinx-relay`
-
-`cd sphinx-relay`
-
-`npm install`
-
-### dependencies
-
-sqlite3: `apt-get install sqlite3`
-
-### configure
-
-Make sure your LND is running with the `--accept-keysend` flag! If you are using lnd.conf file, add `accept-keysend=1`
-
-Edit the "production" section of config/app.json:
- - Change `macaroon_location` to the location of your LND admin macaroon
- - Change `tls_location` to the location of your LND cert
-
-Edit the "production" section of config/config.json
- - Update "storage" to point to where you want your DB file to live
-
-To connect to your app
- - `export NODE_IP=x.x.x.x` (you can use a domain name instead if you have that set up)
- - For extra security, `export USE_PASSWORD=true`
-
-### run
-
-`npm run prod`
+## Known issues
 
-When Relay starts up, it will print a QR in the terminal. You can scan this in your app (Android & iOS) to connect!
