+To run the tests in an environment matching the CI setup:
+
+1. Build it
+
+```bash
+docker build . -f tests/Dockerfile -t lvgl_test_env
+```
+
+2. Run the tests
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/work lvgl_test_env "./tests/main.py"
+```
+
+This ensures you are testing in a consistent environment with the same dependencies as the CI pipeline.

 ## Running automatically
 
 GitHub's CI automatically runs these tests on pushes and pull requests to `master` and `releasev8.*` branches.
