+# AC Database-only quick setup
+
+This tutorial explains how to quickly setup an instance of the AC Database.
+
+
+### Introduction
+
+Sometimes you need an AzerothCore DB up and running without having to setup the whole server,
+for example to use applications like [Keira3](https://github.com/azerothcore/Keira3) or similar.
+
+With this setup, you do **not** have to install MySQL server in your system.
+
+### Requirements
+
+The only requirements are git and Docker (including `docker-compose`).
+You can find the links to setup Docker for your operating system in the "Software requirements" category of 
+[this page](http://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/Install-with-Docker#setup).
+
+### Clone the AC sources
+
+You need to clone the AC sources somewhere in your machine and cd into it:
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk.git
+cd azerothcore-wotlk;
+
+```
+
+### How to quickly spin up an AzerothCore Database instance
+
+You can easily create an instance of MySQL server containing the AC database using:
+
+```
+docker-compose up ac-database
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can pass the `-d` parameter to run this command in detach mode:
+
+```
+docker-compose up -id ac-database
+```
+
+The default password will be `password` and the default port will be `3306`.
+
+If you want to chance those values, run the following:
+
+```
+DB_EXTERNAL_PORT=9000 DB_ROOT_PASSWORD=root docker-compose up ac-database
+```
