 3. **Download Opaque**
 ``` bash
-$ git clone https://gitlab.ub.uni-bielefeld.de/sfb1288inf/opaque.git
-$ cd opaque
-$ docker-compose pull
+git clone https://gitlab.ub.uni-bielefeld.de/sfb1288inf/opaque.git

+docker-compose pull
 ```
 4. **Configure your instance:**
 For production environments it is recommended to activate and secure the Docker HTTP API. You can read more [here](https://gitlab.ub.uni-bielefeld.de/sfb1288inf/opaque_daemon).
 ``` bash
-$ mkdir logs
-$ cp nopaque.env.tpl nopaque.env
-$ <YOUR EDITOR> nopaque.env # Fill out the empty variables within this file.
+mkdir logs
+cp nopaque.env.tpl nopaque.env
+<YOUR EDITOR> nopaque.env # Fill out the empty variables within this file. For the gitlab login either use your credentials (not recommended) Or create a gitlab token
 ```
-5. **Start your instance**
+
+5. Further development instructions
+Use the following command to allow docker to pull images from your gitlab registry. TODO: Check if this could also work wit a token?
+```bash
+docker login gitlab.ub.uni-bielefeld.de:4567
+```
+
+6. **Start your instance**
 ``` bash
 # Execute the following 3 steps only on first startup
-$ docker-compose run web flask db upgrade
-$ docker-compose run web flask insert-initial-database-entries
-$ docker-compose down
+docker-compose run web flask db upgrade
