+## Getting Started
+
+1. Clone the repository and navigate to the directory
+
+```console
+git clone https://github.com/Lai-YT/todolist
+cd todolist
+```
+
+2. Create a docker container for the MySQL database
+
+```console
+./create-docker-container.sh
+```
+
+This will create a MySQL container named `todolist-mysql` with a database named `todolist`, serving on port `3306`.
+The default username and password are `root` and `root`, respectively. The data files of the database are mounted to the `./data` directory.
+
+For later use, you can start the container with the following command:
+
+```console
+docker start todolist-mysql
+```
+
+3. Run the API server
+
+```console
+go run todolist.go
+```
+
+There's also a frontend for this project, which was initially created by [themaxsandelin](https://github.com/themaxsandelin), modified by [sdil](https://github.com/sdil), and finally tailored by me. You can find it at [Lai-YT/todolist-frontend](https://github.com/Lai-YT/todolist-frontend).
