+## Running
+
+First and foremost, `podman-bootc` requires a *rootful* Podman Machine to be
+running, which is the default on MacOS and Windows.  On Linux, make sure to
+create a Podman Machine via `podman machine init --rootful --now` which implies
+that you need to run podman with `--remote` command to make built images
+available to `podman-bootc`.
+
+The core command right now is:
+
+```shell
+podman-bootc run <imagename>
+```
+
+This command creates a new virtual machine, backed by a persistent disk
+image from a "self install" of the container image, and makes a SSH
+connection to it.
+
+This requires SSH to be enabled by default in your base image; by
+default an automatically generated SSH key is injected via a systemd
+credential attached to qemu.
+
+Even after you close the SSH connection, the machine continues to run.
+
+### Other commands:
+
+- `podman-bootc list`: List running VMs
+- `podman-bootc ssh`: Connect to a VM
+- `podman-bootc rm`: Remove a VM
+
+### Architecture
+
+At the current time the `run` command uses a
+[bootc install](https://containers.github.io/bootc/bootc-install.html)
+flow - where the container installs itself executed in a privileged
+mode inside the podman-machine VM.
+
+The installation target is a raw disk image is created on the host, but loopback
+mounted over virtiofs/9p from the podman-machine VM.
+
+(The need for a real-root privileged container to write Linux filesystems is part of the
+ rationale for requiring podman-machine even on Linux is that
+ it keeps the architecture aligned with MacOS (where it's always required))
+
+In the future, support for installing via [Anaconda](https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/)
+and [bootc-image-builder](https://github.com/osbuild/bootc-image-builder)
+will be added.
