 You can build an image that runs `laminard` by default, and contains `laminarc` for use based on `alpine:edge` using the `Dockerfile` in the `docker/` directory.
 
-Keep in mind that this is meant to be used as a base image to build from, so it contains only the minimum packages required to run laminar. The only shell available by default is sh and it does not even have ssh or git. You can use this image to run a basic build server, but it is recomended that you build a custom image from this base to better suit your needs.
-
 ```bash
 # from the repository root:
 docker build [-t image:tag] -f docker/Dockerfile .
 ```
 
-You can also build a docker image using a bash script provided in the root of the repository. You should already have docker installed on your machine for this to work.

-```bash
-# from the repository root:
-./docker-build.sh [(OPTIONAL) tag {default:latest}]

-This will build an image from from the Dockerfile in `docker/` tagged as `laminar:${tag}`.
