-`app.js` file in: `static/build/app.js`
+### Building the UI image

-To build the Docker image open a shell and change to the `ui` folder. Then run:
+The UI runs with Node.js and comes with it's own Docker

+is handled via Docker containers when running:
 
 ```bash
-docker build -t registry.opensource.zalan.do/acid/postgres-operator-ui:v1.2.0 .
+make docker
 ```
 
-Apply all manifests for the `ui/manifests` folder to deploy the Postgres
-Operator UI on K8s. For local tests you don't need the Ingress resource.
+### Configure endpoints and options
+
+The UI talks to the K8s API server as well as the Postgres Operator [REST API](developer.md#debugging-the-operator).
+K8s API server URLs are loaded from the machine's kubeconfig environment by
+default. Alternatively, a list can also be passed when starting the Python
+application with the `--cluster` option.
+
+The Operator API endpoint can be configured via the `OPERATOR_API_URL`
+environment variables in the [deployment manifest](../ui/manifests/deployment.yaml#L40).
+You can also expose the operator API through a [service](../manifests/api-service.yaml).
+Some displayed options can be disabled from UI using simple flags under the
+`OPERATOR_UI_CONFIG` field in the deployment.
+
+### Deploy the UI on K8s
+
+Now, apply all manifests from the `ui/manifests` folder to deploy the Postgres
+Operator UI on K8s. Replace the image tag in the deployment manifest if you
+want to test the image you've built with `make docker`. Make sure the pods for
+the operator and the UI are both running.
 
 ```bash
-kubectl apply -f ui/manifests
+sed -e "s/\(image\:.*\:\).*$/\1$TAG/" manifests/deployment.yaml | kubectl apply -f manifests/
+kubectl get all -l application=postgres-operator-ui
 ```
 
-Make sure the pods for the operator and the UI are both running. For local
-testing you need to apply proxying and port forwarding so that the UI can talk
-to the K8s and Postgres Operator REST API. You can use the provided
-`run_local.sh` script for this. Make sure it uses the correct URL to your K8s
-API server, e.g. for minikube it would be `https://192.168.99.100:8443`.
+### Local testing

+* the pod label selectors for port forwarding are correct
+
+When testing with minikube you have to build the image in its docker environment
+(running `make docker` doesn't do it for you). From the `ui` directory execute:
 
 ```bash
+# compile and build operator UI
+make docker

+```bash
+# manual deployment
+kubectl apply -f ui/manifests/
+
+# or helm chart
+helm install postgres-operator-ui ./charts/postgres-operator-ui
+```
+
+Like with the operator, check if the UI pod gets into `Running` state:
+
+```bash
+# if you've created the operator using yaml manifests
+kubectl get pod -l name=postgres-operator-ui
+
+# if you've created the operator using helm chart
+kubectl get pod -l app.kubernetes.io/name=postgres-operator-ui
+```
+
+You can now access the web interface by port forwarding the UI pod (mind the
+label selector) and enter `localhost:8081` in your browser:
+
+```bash
+kubectl port-forward "$(kubectl get pod -l name=postgres-operator-ui --output='name')" 8081
+```
+
+Available option are explained in detail in the [UI docs](operator-ui.md).
+
+## Create a Postgres cluster
+
+If the operator pod is running it listens to new events regarding `postgresql`
+resources. Now, it's time to submit your first Postgres cluster manifest.
+
+```bash
 # create a Postgres cluster
 kubectl create -f manifests/minimal-postgres-manifest.yaml
