+## Development Environment
+
+For detailed instructions on setting up a local development environment, please refer to the [Development Guidelines](https://github.com/epinio/epinio/blob/main/docs/howtos/development.md) in the Epinio repository.
+
+### Updating the running Epinio server
+
+Every time a change is made in the Epinio source code, the binary running inside
+the epinio-server Pod has to be replaced with a freshly compiled one. This can
+be achieved by running the following command:
+
+```bash
+make && make patch-epinio-deployment
+```
+
+If Epinio is installed in a custom namespace, you need to specify it using the `EPINIO_NAMESPACE` environment variable:
+
+```bash
+EPINIO_NAMESPACE=my-namespace make && EPINIO_NAMESPACE=my-namespace make patch-epinio-deployment
+```
+
+This first compiles a new binary locally and then replaces the one running inside the Pod with it.
