 # docker-gophernicus
-An Alpine based Gophernicus Gopher server Docker image
+
+An Alpine Linux based Docker image for the Gophernicus Gopher server (https://github.com/gophernicus/gophernicus).
+
+Do you just want to run a simple Gopher service? Do you not want to mess the hassle of setting up old-school inetd/xinetd/systemd sockets/etc? Are you already running all your other services as containers? Well so did I!
+
+This image runs Gophernicus via xinetd on an Alpine Linux base for a Docker image that weighs in at just a smidge under 7MB. Set your hostname, point your favorite volume at `/var/gopher`, bind port 70 and go!
+
+ex:
+```
+docker build -t gophernicus .
+
+docker run --name gophernicus \
+	--hostname <your gopher hostname> \
+	-p 70:70 \
+	-v <your gopher root>:/var/gopher \
+	gophernicus
+```
