+The official Node.js docker image, made with love by the node community.
 
 ## What is Node.js?
 
-Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.
+*from [node.org/faq.html](https://node.org/faq.html)*
+
+Node.js is a JavaScript platform built on Chrome's V8 runtime. This project
+began as a fork of Joyent's Node.js™ and is compatible with the npm ecosystem.
+
+Why? Node.js aims to provide faster and predictable release cycles. It currently
+merges in the latest language, API and performance improvements to V8 while also
+updating libuv and other base libraries.
+
+This project aims to continue development of Node.js under an "open governance
+model" as opposed to corporate stewardship.
+
+## Usage
+
+# How to use this image
+
+If you want to distribute your application on the docker registry, create a
+`Dockerfile` in the root of application directory:
+
+```Dockerfile
+FROM node:onbuild
+
+# Expose the ports that your app uses. For example:
+EXPOSE 8080
+```
+
+Then simply run:
+
+```
+$ docker build -t node-app
+...
+$ docker run --rm -it node-app
+```
+
+To run a single script, you can mount it in a volume under `/usr/src/app`. From
+the root of your application directory (assuming your script is named
+`index.js`):
+
+```
+$ docker run -v ${PWD}:/usr/src/app -w /usr/src/app -it --rm node node index.js
+```
+
+# Image Variants
+
+The `node` images come in many flavors, each designed for a specific use case.
+
+## `node:<version>`
+
+This is the defacto image. If you are unsure about what your needs are, you
+probably want to use this one. It is designed to be used both as a throw away
+container (mount your source code and start the container to start your app), as
+well as the base to build other images off of. This tag is based off of
+[`buildpack-deps`](https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/buildpack-deps/).
+`buildpack-deps` is designed for the average user of docker who has many images
+on their system. It, by design, has a large number of extremely common Debian
+packages. This reduces the number of packages that images that derive from it
+need to install, thus reducing the overall size of all images on your system.
+
+## `node:onbuild`
+
+This image makes building derivative images easier. For most use cases, creating
+a `Dockerfile` in the base of your project directory with the line `FROM
+node:onbuild` will be enough to create a stand-alone image for your project.
+
+## `node:slim`
+
+This image does not contain the common packages contained in the default tag and
+only contains the minimal packages needed to run `node`. Unless you are working
+in an environment where *only* the Node.js image will be deployed and you have
+space constraints, we highly recommend using the default image of this
+repository.
