+title: Quick Start
+description: Get TRAWL running with Docker Compose in under two minutes.
+---
+
+# Quick Start
+
+You need **Docker 24+** with the Compose plugin. That's the only prerequisite.
+
+## 1. Clone the repository
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/germondai/trawl.git
+cd trawl
+```
+
+## 2. Create your `.env` file
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+```
+
+Everything has a working default. See [Configuration](/getting-started/configuration) for the full reference.
+
+## 3. Start everything
+
+```bash
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+This starts three containers:
+
+| Container | Purpose                 | Port     |
+| --------- | ----------------------- | -------- |
+| `redis`   | Session cache backend   | internal |
+| `api`     | Browser pool + HTTP API | 8191     |
+| `web`     | Landing page & docs UI  | 3000     |
+
+The API takes **15–30 seconds** on first boot while it launches the browser pool and downloads Camoufox (only on first build). Watch progress:
+
+```bash
+docker compose logs -f api
+```
+
+You'll see:
+```
+[api] TRAWL starting on :8191  (pool: 3 browsers)
+[api] session cache connected  (Tier 2 fast-path enabled)
+[pool] browser 1/3 ready
+[pool] browser 2/3 ready
+[pool] browser 3/3 ready
+[api] ready — all 3 browsers warm
+```
+
+## 4. Verify it works
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://localhost:8191/health | jq
+```
+
+Expected:
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "ok",
+  "uptime": 28,
+  "pool": {
+    "total": 3,
+    "busy": 0,
+    "available": 3,
+    "restarts": 0,
+    "avgRestarts": 0
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## 5. Send your first scrape request
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8191/v1 \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "cmd": "request.get",
+    "url": "https://nowsecure.nl",
+    "maxTimeout": 60000
+  }' | jq '{status, url: .solution.url}'
+```
+
+A `status: "ok"` response confirms TRAWL is working. The **second request to the same domain** returns in ~500ms from the session cache.
+
+::: tip First request is slow — that's expected
+The first time TRAWL sees a domain it solves the Cloudflare challenge fresh (4–15s). Every subsequent request uses the cached session and returns in under 500ms. This is the whole point.
+:::
+
+## 6. Use the native API (optional)
+
+The `/scrape` endpoint returns a richer response than `/v1` — includes `tier`, `timings`, `sessionCached`, and more:
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8191/scrape \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"url": "https://nowsecure.nl"}' | jq '{tier, totalMs}'
+```
+
+## 7. Connect Prowlarr or Jackett (optional)
+
+In Prowlarr → **Settings → Indexers → FlareSolverr**, set:
+
+```
+http://localhost:8191
+```
+
+Done. No other configuration changes are needed. TRAWL implements the FlareSolverr v2 API exactly.
+
+---
+
+## What's running
+
+```
+localhost:8191  →  TRAWL API  (FlareSolverr-compatible + native endpoint)
+localhost:3000  →  Web UI     (landing page, visible in your browser)
+localhost:3001  →  Docs       (this documentation, served locally)
+```
+
+To stop everything:
+
+```bash
+docker compose down
+```
+
+To stop and wipe the session cache:
+
+```bash
+docker compose down -v
+```
