+# Azure SignalR Service Chat Sample
+
+This sample demonstrates how to use Azure SignalR Service with ASP.NET Core SignalR.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- .NET 8.0 SDK or later
+- An Azure SignalR Service instance
+- Git (for submodule dependencies)
+- Docker (optional, for containerized deployment)
+
+## Setup
+
+1. Initialize the required submodules:
+
+```bash
+git submodule update --init --recursive
+```
+
+2. Configure your Azure SignalR Service connection string:
+
+   - Update `appsettings.json` by replacing the empty connection string:
+
+    ```json
+    {
+      "Azure": {
+        "SignalR": {
+          "ConnectionString": "<your-connection-string>"
+        }
+      }
+    }
+    ```
+
+   ⚠️ **Important**: Make sure to set your connection string before building the Docker image or running the application.
+
+## Running the Sample
+
+### Option 1: Running Locally
+
+1. Build and run the project:
+
+```bash
+dotnet build
+dotnet run
+```
+
+You can also specify a custom port:
+
+```bash
+dotnet run --urls="http://localhost:5050"
+```
+
+### Option 2: Running with Docker
+
+1. Build the Docker image:
+```bash
+docker build -t chat-app -f samples/ChatSample/ChatSample/Dockerfile .
+```
+
+2. Run the container:
+```bash
+docker run -d -p 5050:5050 chat-app
+```
+
+Additional Docker commands:
+```bash
+# View running containers
+docker ps
+
+# View container logs
+docker logs <container_id>
+
+# Stop the container
+docker stop <container_id>
+```
+
+## Accessing the Application
+
+To access the chat application, open your web browser and navigate to:
+- `http://localhost:5050` (or the custom port you specified)
