+## Local Docker Testing
+
+Local Jitsi testing uses the official Docker Jitsi release. The downloaded Docker files and generated runtime config are ignored by Git, while PoliticTalk overrides stay tracked in this repo.
+
+First install and start Docker Desktop. Then:
+
+```bash
+cd /Users/amardeep/work/pg/jitsi
+./scripts/local-jitsi-setup.sh
+./scripts/local-jitsi-start.sh
+```
+
+Open:
+
+```text
+https://localhost:8443/pt-local-test
+```
+
+The local browser may show a self-signed certificate warning. That is expected.
+
+When editing local override files or assets:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/local-jitsi-sync.sh
+./scripts/local-jitsi-restart-web.sh
+```
+
+To stop local Jitsi:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/local-jitsi-stop.sh
+```
