+# Quickstart for Terra Devs
+
+This document is intended for folks who need to do basic JobManager maintenance
+in support of its use in Terra. 
+
+## Running JobManager Locally
+
+These are the minimal steps you need to take to get JobManager running locally in 
+Docker, showing state from a local Cromwell instance. It combines steps from the 
+main README and Cromwell server README.
+
+### Check out and configure JobManager
+
+```
+$ git clone https://github.com/DataBiosphere/job-manager.git
+$ cd job-manager
+$ ln -sf cromwell-instance-compose.yml docker-compose.yml
+```
+
+### Set CROMWELL_URL env var
+
+JobManager relies on a `CROMWELL_URL` environment variable to find Cromwell.
+Set this to `http://IP_ADDR:8000/api/workflows/v1` where `IP_ADDR` is your machine's 
+IP address. We need the broadcast address, because if we use `0.0.0.0` or `localhost` Docker
+will try to connect to itself.
+
+For example:
+```
+$ ifconfig | grep inet | grep broadcast
+    inet 192.XXX.Y.ZZZ netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.XXX.Y.255
+$ export CROMWELL_URL="http://192.XXX.Y.ZZZ:8000/api/workflows/v1"
+```
+
+### Start JobManager
+
+```
+$ docker-compose up
+```
+Once you see `webpack: Compiled successfully.` you should be able to access JobManager
+at http://localhost:4200, and state of your local Cromwell should be reflected there.
+
+## Releasing JobManager in Terra
+
+Start by following release instructions in [the README](README.md#build-docker-images-and-releases).
+Once the new version exists in GCR and Github:
+ * Update version in [dsp-jenkins](https://github.com/broadinstitute/dsp-jenkins/blob/master/src/main/resources/FirecloudAutomatedTesting.conf)
+ * Update version in [terra-helmfile](https://github.com/broadinstitute/terra-helmfile/blob/master/versions/app/dev.yaml)
