+0. Build the containers locally to your desktop/laptop with:
+   - `docker compose build`
+      - The build process can take a while to complete.
+
+1. First start postgres so you can create the DB with the `diesel` command:
+	- `docker compose up postgres -d`
+	  * **Note** that postgres will store its db data in `./postgres/data`
+	- `psql -U postgres -p 5432 -h localhost -c 'create database sui_indexer_testnet'`
+	- run these in sui.git/crates/sui-indexer:
+      * `diesel setup --database-url=postgres://postgres:admin@localhost:5432/sui_indexer_testnet`
+
+2. Copy the fullnode.yaml and genesis.blob files for the network to use and put them in the `fullnode/config/` folder.
+
+3. `docker compose up fullnode -d`
+   - verify it's working by watching the logs with `docker compose logs fullnode -f`
+
+4. Once the full node is working, then start indexer with:  `docker compose up indexer -d`
+
+	- You will see the indexer catching up checkpoint by checkpoint until it's up to date and ready to serve requests.
+	  `docker compose logs indexer | tail -30`
