+### Docker container
+
+A Dockerfile is included with the Gas source code to provide a container that 
+allows users to easily run Gas on their code. It builds Gas, then runs it on 
+all Go files in your current directory. Use the following commands to build 
+and run locally:
+
+To build: (run command in cloned Gas source code directory)
+          docker build --build-arg http_proxy --build-arg https_proxy
+          --build-arg no_proxy -t goastscanner/gas:latest .
+
+To run:  (run command in desired directory with Go files)
+          docker run -v $PWD:$PWD --workdir $PWD goastscanner/gas:latest
+
+Note: Docker version 17.05 or later is required (to permit multistage build).
