+## How to upload a snapshot bundle to your own instance of stackage-server
+
+You can upload snapshots to your own instance of stackage-server using
+[stackage-curator](https://github.com/fpco/stackage-curator).
+Here's how:
+
+Start your instance (e.g. run `stackage-server Development`)
+
+In a browser:
+
+* Log into your instance
+* Navigate to `http://your-stackage-server/profile`
+* Take note of both your username and auth token
+
+Edit your config/settings.yaml. Make sure your username is listed as an admin user, e.g.
+
+```
+admin-users:  
+- danburton
+```
+
+Restart your stackage-server instance if you changed its config/settings.yaml
+
+In a terminal:
+
+* Set the `STACKAGE_AUTH_TOKEN` environment variable to your auth token
+* run `stackage-curator upload2 your-snapshot.bundle --server-url http://your-stackage-server`
