 Purpose
 ###########
 
-This ``Dockerfile`` creates a sandboxed, runnable `Nikola
-<https://getnikola.com>`_ environment based on the latest official Arch
-package produced by the Nikola team.  This works in docker even if your
-host system is not running Arch.
+This ``Dockerfile`` creates a sandboxed, runnable `Nikola <https://getnikola.com>`_ environment built with the ``debian:stable`` image, Python developer packages, and the ``Nikola[extras]`` package installed.
 
+The decision to use ``debian:stable`` was influenced by `this document <https://docs.docker.com/engine/articles/dockerfile_best-practices/>`_ ::
+
+    Whenever possible, use current Official Repositories as the basis for your image. We recommend the Debian image since it’s very tightly controlled and kept extremely minimal (currently under 100 mb), while still being a full distribution. 
+
+This image works in docker even if your host system is not running Debian.
+
+Pull this image from `Docker Hub <https://hub.docker.com/r/dmmmdfll/nikola/>` with the command ``docker pull dmmmdfll/nikola``.

-* docker 1.8.0 (running on Ubuntu 14.04)

 ``username``, ``uid``, ``group``, and ``gid``.  This avoids problems with

 Limitations 
 #############
 
+**I have not tried a deploy. I am leaving the following limitation from the forked repo at https://github.com/rbrewer123/docker_nikola because it seems likely that the same would be true for this image**
+
 The only limitation I know of so far is using Nikola`s ``deploy`` command.
 I'm using Nikola with Amazon S3, and the ``s3cmd`` I use to deploy my site
 is not within the Nikola container.  Since it's a single command to deploy
