+
+Instructions for running the `testnet-onboarding-api` using [laconic-so](https://git.vdb.to/cerc-io/stack-orchestrator)
+
+## Setup
+
+* Clone the stack repo:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so fetch-stack git.vdb.to/cerc-io/testnet-onboarding-app-stack
+  ```
+
+* Setup required repositories:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-onboarding-app-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/onboarding-api setup-repositories
+  ```
+
+* Build the container image:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-onboarding-app-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/onboarding-api build-containers
+  ```
+
+  This should create the `cerc/testnet-onboarding-api` image locally
+
+## Create a deployment
+
+* Create a spec file for the deployment:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-onboarding-app-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/onboarding-api deploy init --output onboarding-api-spec.yml
+  ```
+
+* Edit `network` in the spec file to map container ports to host ports as required:
+
+  ```bash
+  network:
+    ports:
+      testnet-onboarding-api:
+        - '3000:3000'
+  ```
+
+* Create a deployment from the spec file:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-onboarding-app-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/onboarding-api deploy create --spec-file onboarding-api-spec.yml --deployment-dir onboarding-api-deployment
+  ```
+
+## Configuration
+
+* Inside the `onboarding-api-deployment` deployment directory, open `config.env` file and set following env variables:
+
+  ```bash
+  # Your sumsub application token
+  SUMSUB_APP_TOKEN=
+
+  # Your sumsub secret key
+  SUMSUB_SECRET_KEY=
+
+  # Optional
+
+  # KYC level of access token being generated (default: basic-kyc-level)
+  KYC_LEVEL=
+
+  # TTL for the generated access token in seconds (default: 600)
+  TTL_IN_SECS=
+  ```
+
+## Start the deployment
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so deployment --dir onboarding-api-deployment start
+  ```
+
+## Check status
+
+* To list down and monitor the running container:
+
+  ```bash
+  # With status
+  docker ps
+
+  # Check logs for the server
+  laconic-so deployment --dir onboarding-api-deployment logs -f testnet-onboarding-api
+  ```
+
+## Run
+
+* Generate an access token for a user:
+
+  ```bash
+  curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/generate-token \
+    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+    -d '{"userId": "JamesBond007"}'
+
+  # Expected output:
+  # {"token":"generated-access-token"}
+  ```
+
+## Clean up
+
+* Stop the deployment:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so deployment --dir onboarding-api-deployment stop
+  ```
