+## Deploying Models in TabPy Docker Container
+
+To deploy custom models for TabPy running in docker container, first copy all
+python model files onto host machine.
+
+For example, `myFunction.py` is the model we want to deploy.
+Run following from the folder containing `myFunction.py` on host machine
+
+```console
+docker cp myFunction.py <container_id>:/app/scripts/myFunction.py
+docker exec -it <container_id> python /app/scripts/myFunction.py
+```
