-Quarkus Elytron Security with JPA
+Quarkus Security with JPA
 ========================
 
 This guide demonstrates how your Quarkus application can use a database and JPA to store your user identities.
 
-## Start the database
+## Run quickstart in developer mode
 
-You need a database to store the user identities/roles. Here, we are using [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org).
-To ease the setup, we have provided a `docker-compose.yml` file which start a PostgreSQL container, bind the network ports
-and finally creates the users and their credentials by importing the `import.sql` file.
+Quarkus provides developer mode, in which you can try this example. Just try:
 
-The database can be started using:
- ```bash
- docker-compose up
- ```  
+```bash
+mvn quarkus:dev
+```
 
-Once the database is up you can start your Quarkus application.
+Now the application will listen on `localhost:8080`.
+In developer mode quarkus will also start its own postgres database.
 
-Note you do not need to start the database when running your application in dev mode or testing. It will be started automatically as a Dev Service.
+## Run quickstart in JVM mode
 
-## Start the application
+### Start the database
 
-The application can be started using: 
+Now we need to start a [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org) database on our own.
+To set it up with docker:
 
 ```bash
-mvn compile quarkus:dev
+docker run -it --rm=true --name quarkus_test -e POSTGRES_USER=quarkus -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=quarkus -e POSTGRES_DB=quarkus -p 5432:5432 postgres:15.3
+```
+
+Once the database is up, you can start your Quarkus application.
+Application will fill in the users and their credentials on `StartupEvent`.
+
+### Start the application
+
+The application can be build & started using: 
+
+```bash
+mvn clean package
+java -jar target/quarkus-app/quarkus-run.jar 
 ```

 ### Integration testing
 
 We have provided integration tests based on [Dev Services for PostgreSQL](https://quarkus.io/guides/dev-services#databases) to verify the security configuration in JVM and native modes. The test and dev modes containers will be launched automatically because all the PostgreSQL configuration properties are only enabled in production (`prod`) mode.
