+1. Connect to the host
+
+   ```sh
+   ssh <user>@<host>
+   ```
+
+2. Check the GPU driver (needs >= 560.28.03)
+
+   ```sh
+   nvidia-smi
+   ```
+
+3. Install Docker
+
+   ```sh
+   curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sudo sh
+   sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
+   exit
+   ```
+
+4. Reconnect
+
+   ```sh
+   ssh <user>@<host>
+   ```
+
+5. Install NVIDIA Container Toolkit
+
+   ```sh
+   curl -fsSL https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/gpgkey \
+     | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/nvidia-container-toolkit-keyring.gpg
+   curl -fsSL https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/stable/deb/nvidia-container-toolkit.list \
+     | sed 's#deb https://#deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/nvidia-container-toolkit-keyring.gpg] https://#g' \
+     | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-container-toolkit.list
+   sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y nvidia-container-toolkit
+   sudo nvidia-ctk runtime configure --runtime=docker
+   sudo systemctl restart docker
+   ```
+
+6. Check Docker sees the GPU
+
+   ```sh
+   docker run --rm --gpus all nvidia/cuda:12.6.3-base-ubuntu24.04 nvidia-smi
+   ```
+
+7. Clone the repo
+
+   ```sh
+   git clone https://github.com/bcc-code/transcriber.git
+   cd transcriber
+   ```
+
+8. Create storage
+
+   ```sh
+   sudo mkdir -p /mnt/storage/out
+   ```
+
+9. Configure
+
+   ```sh
+   cp .env.example .env
+   ```
+
+10. Pull and start
+
+    ```sh
+    docker compose pull
+    docker compose up -d
+    ```
+
+11. Check health
+
+    ```sh
+    docker compose ps
+    curl -fsS -w '\n' localhost:8888/healthz
+    ```
+
+12. Submit a test job
+
+    ```sh
+    curl -sS -X POST localhost:8888/transcription/job -H 'content-type: application/json' \
+      -d '{"path":"/mnt/storage/<file>","language":"no","format":"all","output_path":"/mnt/storage/out/test1"}'
+    ```
+
+13. Watch logs
+
+    ```sh
+    docker compose logs -f transcriber
+    ```
+
+14. Check output
+
+    ```sh
+    ls -lh /mnt/storage/out/test1
+    ```
