+This is my ready to go setup for a PS2 OPL server.
+
+#How to get it up and running
+Edit compose.yalm's paths `/your-path-here/` to wherever you want.
+I personally clone this repo and set the path to it, so you can leave a copy of this repo alongside your games.
+
+you want to connect your OPL to you're server IP and not the docker's.
+enter GUEST in the user and leave password empty.
+
+something something acquired copies legal something something.
+
+general comments:
+I don't remember exactly why it was so much of a pain to get this server up on a pi5, or at least find the correct combination of docker image and smb config.
+but this one just werk^tm.
+This is an amalgamation of things I found on the internet, I don't remember where I got them so no credit will be given, my b.
