+## Building docs locally
+
+We provide a convenience script for building docs locally, using Docker;
+
+```bash
+./build-locally.sh
+```
+
+For now, this will only work for CFEngine team members - you need to be able to clone the private (enterprise) repos with SSH.
+
+When the script finishes, it gives you instructions for how to start a webserver and see the resulting docs page.
