+
+Step 1: Clone the repo
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm.git
+```
+
+Step 2: Build the Docker Image
+
+Build using Dockerfile.non_root
+```
+docker build -f docker/Dockerfile.non_root -t litellm_test_image .
+```
+
+Step 3: Run the Docker Image

+Make sure config.yaml is present in the root directory. This is your litellm proxy config file.
+```
+docker run \
+    -v $(pwd)/proxy_config.yaml:/app/config.yaml \
+    -e DATABASE_URL="postgresql://xxxxxxxx" \
+    -e LITELLM_MASTER_KEY="sk-1234" \
