+# bootc is read-only when run in a default container
+
+Currently, running e.g. `podman run <someimage> bootc upgrade` will not work.
+There are a variety of reasons for this, such as the basic fact that by
+default a `docker|podman run <image>` doesn't know where to update itself;
+the image reference is not exposed into the target image (for security/operational
+reasons).
+
+## Supported operations
+
+There are only two supported operations in a container environment today:
+
+- `bootc status`: This can reliably be used to detect whether the system is
+  actually booted via bootc or not.
+- `bootc container lint`: See [man/bootc-container-lint.md](man/bootc-container-lint.md).
+
+### Testing bootc in a container
+
+Eventually we would like to support having bootc run inside a container environment
+primarily for testing purposes. For this, please see the [tracking issue](https://github.com/bootc-dev/bootc/issues/400).
