+### Using docker / running a daemon
+
+Nomad Network is automatically published as a docker image on Github Packages. Image tags are one of either `master` (for the latest release) or the version number (eg `0.1.7`) for the specified version number (as tagged in this git repo).
+
+
+```sh
+$ docker pull ghcr.io/markqvist/nomadnet:master
+
+# Run nomadnet interactively without installing it (with default config)
+$ docker run -it ghcr.io/markqvist/nomadnet:master
+
+# Run nomadnet as a daemon, using config stored on the host machine in specific
+# directories, and allowing access to specific numbered ports openned by nomadnet
+# on the host machine on the same port numbers.
+$ docker run -d \
