+ wget https://download.geofabrik.de/north-america/us/district-of-columbia-latest.osm.pbf
+
+You can now use Docker to load this extract into your local Docker-based OSM instance:
+
+ docker-compose run --rm web osmosis \
+ -verbose \
+ --read-pbf district-of-columbia-latest.osm.pbf \
+ --write-apidb \
+ host="db" \
+ database="openstreetmap" \
+ user="openstreetmap" \
+ validateSchemaVersion="no"
+
+Once you have data loaded for Washington, DC you should be able to navigate to `http://localhost:3000/#map=12/38.8938/-77.0146` to begin working with your local instance.
