+### Running in a container
+
+If you don't want to install anything locally you can just run `wws` from the `projects.registry.vmware.com/wasmlabs/containers/wasm-workers-server:latest` container image. All you need to do is:
+
+ - map a local folder with handlers to `/app` within the container
+ - expose port `8080` from the container
+
+Here is how to quickly run a container with an ad-hoc handler from the /tmp/wws-app folder:
+
+```bash
+mkdir /tmp/wws-app 2>/dev/null;
+echo 'addEventListener("fetch", (e) => { return e.respondWith(new Response("Hello from WWS\n"));});' > /tmp/wws-app/index.js;
+docker run --rm -v /tmp/wws-app:/app -p 8080:8080 projects.registry.vmware.com/wasmlabs/containers/wasm-workers-server:latest
+```
 ## Language Support
 
 Wasm Workers Server focuses on simplicity. We want you to run handlers (written in different languages) safely in WebAssembly. For interpreted languages, we add different interpreters:

+# Running in a container
+
+For convenience we have published a container image that contains Wasm Workers Server. It is available at `projects.registry.vmware.com/wasmlabs/containers/wasm-workers-server:latest`. Any container that runs it will get the `wws` binary, running and:
+
+ - looking for worker handlers in the `/app` folder
+ - listening on `0.0.0.0:8080` inside the container
+
+The image is based on `debian:bullseye-slim` + the `wws` binary. It includes support for the `linux/amd64` and `linux/arm64/v8` platforms. The image size should be around `~100MiB`
+
+## Running a local container
+
+A typical one-liner to run a local container for development purposes would look like:
+
+```bash
+docker run -v /path/to/handlers/on/host:/app -p 8080:8080 \
+ projects.registry.vmware.com/wasmlabs/containers/wasm-workers-server:latest
+```
+
+## Other usages
+
+Wasm Workers Server is stateless as far as the loaded handers are stateless (i.e. when they don't use the [Key / Value store](../features/key-value.md)). This makes the image very useful if you want to setup your own auto-scaling deployment.
