+This page describes how to run Pulsar-connected services of Transitdata locally
+
+## Requirements
+
+* Docker
+  * Optional: Docker Compose
+
+## Dependencies
+
+* Pulsar (used by all services)
+  * You can use [this script](https://github.com/HSLdevcom/transitdata/blob/master/bin/pulsar/pulsar-up.sh) to run Pulsar in Docker
+* MQTT broker (for services publishing data over MQTT)
+  * You can use [this script](https://github.com/HSLdevcom/transitdata/blob/master/bin/mosquitto_broker/mosquitto-broker-up.sh) to run Mosquitto in Docker
+* Redis (for services using Redis)
+  * You can use [this script](https://github.com/HSLdevcom/transitdata/blob/master/bin/redis/redis-up.sh) to run Redis in Docker
+
+## How to run Transitdata
+
+1. Check the [architecture diagram](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HSLdevcom/transitdata/master/transitdata_data_flow_drawio.png) to see which services you want to run
+3. Build Docker images for necessary services or use ones from hsldevcom Docker Hub
+   * Docker images are named `hsldevcom/<service name>`, e.g. `hsldevcom/transitdata-vehicleposition-processor`
+1. Set up necessary dependencies
+   * At least Pulsar is needed, see READMEs for other dependencies
+4. Start Docker containers for all services with necessary environment variables
+   * All services need at least `PULSAR_HOST` and `PULSAR_PORT` variables, which default to `localhost` and `6650` respectively
+   * Also `PULSAR_CONSUMER_TOPIC` and `PULSAR_PRODUCER_TOPIC` might have to be changed from the defaults
+    * The idea is to create a pipeline where services read data from a certain topic and write to another
+   * Check other environment variables from services README or `src/main/resources/environment.conf` file
+
+### Docker Compose
+
+Docker Compose might be helpful when running Transitdata locally as it allows defining all services in a single file. Here's an example for running services for publishing GTFS-RT vehicle positions:
+
+```yml
+services:
+  pulsar:
+    image: apachepulsar/pulsar
+    ports:
+      - 6650
+      - 8080
+    environment:
+      PULSAR_MEM: "-Xms512m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=1g"    
+    command: "bin/pulsar standalone"
+  mosquitto:
+    image: eclipse-mosquitto:1.6.3
+    ports:
+      - "1050:1883"
+      - "9001:9001"
+  hfp_mqtt_pulsar_gateway:
+    image: hsldevcom/mqtt-pulsar-gateway:develop
+    environment:
+      - PULSAR_HOST=pulsar
+      - PULSAR_PORT=6650
+      - "MQTT_TOPIC=/hfp/v2/journey/"
+      - MQTT_BROKER_HOST=tcp://mqtt.hsl.fi:1883/
+      - "MQTT_CLIENT_ID=transitdata-local"
+      - "MQTT_ADD_RANDOM_TO_CLIENT_ID=true"
+      - "PULSAR_PRODUCER_TOPIC=hfp-raw"
+      - "MAX_MESSAGES_PER_SECOND=1800"
+    depends_on:
+      - pulsar
+  hfp_parser:
+    image: hsldevcom/transitdata-hfp-parser:develop
+    environment:
+      - PULSAR_HOST=pulsar
+      - PULSAR_PORT=6650
+      - "PULSAR_CONSUMER_TOPIC=hfp-raw"
+      - "PULSAR_CONSUMER_SUBSCRIPTION=hfp_parser"
+      - "PULSAR_PRODUCER_TOPIC=hfp"
+    depends_on:
+      - pulsar
+  vehicleposition_processor:
+    image: hsldevcom/transitdata-vehicleposition-processor:develop
+    environment:
+      - PULSAR_HOST=pulsar
+      - PULSAR_PORT=6650
+      - "PULSAR_CONSUMER_MULTIPLE_TOPICS_PATTERN=persistent://public/default/hfp"
+      - "PULSAR_CONSUMER_SUBSCRIPTION=vehicleposition_processor"
+      - "PULSAR_PRODUCER_TOPIC=gtfsrt-vp"
+    depends_on:
+      - pulsar
+      - hfp_parser
+  gtfsrt_mqtt_gateway:
+    image: hsldevcom/pulsar-mqtt-gateway:develop
+    environment:
+      - PULSAR_HOST=pulsar
+      - PULSAR_PORT=6650
+      - MQTT_BROKER_HOST=tcp://mosquitto:1050
+      - "MQTT_TOPIC=gtfsrt/dev/fi/hsl/vp"
+      - "PULSAR_CONSUMER_TOPIC=gtfsrt-vp"
+      - "MQTT_RETAIN_MESSAGE=false"
+      - "MQTT_HAS_AUTHENTICATION=false"
+      - "PULSAR_CONSUMER_SUBSCRIPTION=mqtt-gw-vehicleposition"
+      - "MQTT_CLIENT_ID=gtfsrt-vp"
+    depends_on:
+      - pulsar
+      - mosquitto
