+## Docker
+
+This app includes a Dockerfile. Type `make docker.build` to build the
+Docker image.
+
+### Quick Start
+
+```bash
+make docker.build
+make docker.run
+```
+
+### Docker Image
+
+* Exposes port 80 for the web server
+* User document root is mounted at `/data/www`
+
+So to run the Docker image and have it listen on `localhost:8000` on the
+host and bind the user document root to `/home/user/www`:
+
+```bash
+docker run -p 8000:80 -v /home/user/www:/data/www blog
+```
+
+You may also run `make docker.run` to run the Docker image on port 8000 using
+the `./user-root` directory
