+## Security and Limitations
+
+### Security Model
+
+This application is designed to provide **safe, public terminal access** for demonstration purposes. The security model consists of multiple layers:
+
+#### 1. Restricted Shell
+
+When deployed in production (e.g., https://www.socktop.io), the application uses a restricted shell (`docker/restricted-shell.sh`) that:
+
+- **Allows only 2 commands**: `socktop` and `help`
+- **Blocks all other commands**: Rejects any attempt to run `ls`, `cat`, `bash`, etc.
+- **Validates arguments**: All arguments passed to `socktop` are sanitized to prevent command injection
+- **Prevents shell escapes**: Blocks metacharacters like `;`, `&&`, `|`, `$()`, backticks, etc.
+- **Blocks path traversal**: Prevents attempts like `../../../etc/passwd`
+
+**Example validation:**
+```bash
+# Allowed
+socktop -P local
+socktop -P rpi-master
+socktop ws://192.168.1.100:3000
+
+# Blocked with error message
+socktop $(whoami)          # Command substitution blocked
+socktop ; /bin/bash        # Shell metacharacter blocked
+socktop -P ../etc/passwd   # Path traversal blocked
+```
+
+#### 2. Argument Sanitization
+
+The restricted shell validates all input using regex patterns:
+- Profile names: Only `[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+` characters allowed
+- WebSocket URLs: Only `ws://` or `wss://` with safe characters
+- No environment variable expansion
+- No special characters or shell operators
+
+**Security testing**: Run `./scripts/test-shell-security.sh` to verify all 35 security checks pass.
+
+#### 3. Container Isolation
+
+- Runs inside Docker container (cannot access host system)
+- Non-root user (`socktop` user)
+- Limited resources (CPU/memory limits configurable)
+- No privileged operations
+- Read-only configuration mounts
+
+#### 4. WebSocket Security
+
+The WebSocket endpoint (`/websocket`) is secure by design:
+- Command spawned is **hardcoded at server startup** (via `--command` flag)
+- No way to change which shell is spawned via WebSocket connection
+- No HTTP headers or request parameters influence the spawned command
+- Direct WebSocket connections get the same restricted shell as browser connections
+
+**The Terminado protocol only supports:**
+- `stdin` - Send input to terminal (goes through restricted shell)
+- `stdout` - Receive output from terminal
+- `set_size` - Resize terminal (validated to u16 row/col numbers only)
+
+There is no protocol message type that can bypass the shell or execute arbitrary commands.
+
+### Reporting Security Issues
+
+If you discover a security vulnerability that bypasses the restricted shell or container isolation, please report it via:
+- GetTea Issues (for non-critical issues)
+- Direct contact to maintainer (for critical vulnerabilities)
+
 ## Credits
 
 This project was originally forked from [webterm](https://github.com/fubarnetes/webterm) by Fabian Freyer. I chose this as a base because other projects were way too complex. His project was simple and easy to understand, but it was not well maintained. I have updated it to modern packages and heavily customized it to display a working demo for socktop.

 This directory contains configuration files that will be mounted into the Docker container at runtime.
 
+## Docker Usage
+
+When using Docker (via `docker-compose.yml` or `scripts/docker-quickstart.sh`):
+
+1. **Files are mounted directly** to the proper locations in the container:
+   - `alacritty.toml` → `/home/socktop/.config/alacritty/alacritty.toml`
+   - `catppuccin-frappe.toml` → `/home/socktop/.config/alacritty/catppuccin-frappe.toml`
+   - `profiles.json` → `/home/socktop/.config/socktop/profiles.json`
+   - `*.pem` certificates → `/home/socktop/.config/socktop/certs/`
+
+2. **Files are read-only** in the container (mounted with `:ro` flag)
+
+3. **To update configuration**: 
+   - Edit files in this directory on your host
+   - Changes are immediately visible in the container (no restart needed for most configs)
+   - For some changes, restart may be needed: `docker-compose restart` or `scripts/docker-quickstart.sh restart`
+

+- **Permissions**: Must be `600`
+- Optional - add as needed for your systems
+
+**Note**: If no certificates are provided, the container will still work for local monitoring.
+
+### 4. Docker-Specific Notes
+
+- Files are mounted directly from this directory to their final locations in the container
+- Files are mounted read-only (`:ro`) for security
+- Certificate permissions should be `600` on the host before mounting
+- For local testing, you can comment out the certificate mounts in docker-compose.yml
+- Without certificates, the container will still work for local monitoring
 
 **`rpi-worker-1.pem`**
