+Requirements
+------------
+
+* docker
+
+Docker
+------
+
+Docker supplies images of main Linux distributions from which one can build
+their own with a single configuration file `Dockerfile`. It looks like a
+virtual machine, but uses the kernel from your currently installed OS.
+
+Running
+-------
+
+ ./test.sh [-c] [-b [IMAGE_NAME]] [-r [IMAGE_NAME]]
+
+The `test.sh` script, run without arguments, executes these three steps:
+
+* rsync the agent directories and files to a directory inside each distribution
+directory - observation: this must be done because docker does not allow
+inclusion of directories by relative paths.
+* build/update all docker images - install requirements, build and compile the
+agent
+* run all docker images - run the agent inside the images, print the JSON
+generated in execution
+
+Building the images and the agent may take some time, so you can use the options
+
+* `-c` to copy (rsync) the agent into the distribution directories
+* `-b [IMAGE_NAME]` to build the docker image specified by IMAGE_NAME or all
+ of them if none specified
+* `-r [IMAGE_NAME]` to run the docker image specified by IMAGE_NAME or all
+ of them if none specified
+
+to execute only part of the flow. Of course, running will not work if the images
+have not been built once previously.
+
+Images
+------
+
+Currently tested images are
+
+* ubuntu
+* debian
+* opensuse
+
+
+Dockerfiles
+-------------------
+
+* Make use of Docker cache when trying stuff: avoid adding instructions
+before long-standing ones if possible. (For example: once docker executes `RUN
+apt-get update && apt-get install ...`, the resulting image is cached and
+subsequential builds with no changes before that instruction will not execute it
+again.)
+
+* Refer to best practices
+ * https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/eng-image/dockerfile_best-practices/
+ * http://crosbymichael.com/dockerfile-best-practices-take-2.html
