No docs for running on host system?

Only Docker?

Running it on your host system is easy:

pip2 install -r requirements.txt
python2 switchedrelay.py

However running it securely with a SSL reverse proxy, NAT routing, firewalled private networks, etc is a much more complex subject. Documenting it properly would require a tome of information, and I didn't feel I was up to the challenge.

In reality I think if people are motivated to run it locally they should have a look at the Dockerfile and scripts it uses, and adjust accordingly for their setup. To be somewhat blunt, if people aren't capable of doing that, they probably shouldn't be trying to run this, as it's quite easy to set it up in a very insecure configuration.

All that said, I'd be happy to accept a PR if you or someone else would like to take a crack at it.
