+## Introduction
+
+This guide is two fold, ease of use for mining on Linux distributions and some extra security around mining as most of these miners have not had security auditing.
+
+At the end of this guide you will be able to sleep a little easier knowing that if the miner gets exploited it will not migrate to your OS.
+
+### Why Docker
+
+[Docker](https://www.docker.com/) is being used as it is the most well known and has the biggest chance to be already installed.
+
+The container I an using is [alpine-xmrig](https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnn/alpine-xmrig/) as per the name it is built on the [Alpine Linux](https://www.alpinelinux.org/) image.
+
+If you are interested in getting started with Docker, here are some really good starting references.
+* Arch Linux Wiki [Docker Page](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Docker)
+* Container Solutions [Security Cheat Sheet](http://container-solutions.com/content/uploads/2015/06/15.06.15_DockerCheatSheet_A2.pdf)
+* Digital Oceans [Dockerfile Howto](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/docker-explained-using-dockerfiles-to-automate-building-of-images).
+
+For distribution specific installation please refer to the [Docker Docs](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/) website.
+
+### Why XMRig
+
+[XMRig](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig) is just a really solid miner to me. Nice output and statistics, no flashy web-ui's or dependencies. The XMRig container is only ~4MB what makes it extremely portable. 
+
+#### Step 1: Mining with XMRig
+
+Run the following
+
+```bash
+# docker run --restart unless-stopped --read-only -m 50M -c 512 bitnn/alpine-xmrig -o POOL01 -o POOL02 -u WALLET -p PASSWORD -k
+# docker run --restart unless-stopped --read-only -m 50M -c 512 bitnn/alpine-xmrig -o pool.supportxmr.com:7777 -u 45CJVagd6WwQAQfAkS91EHiTyfVaJn12uM4Su8iz6S2SHZ3QthmFM9BSPHVZY388ASWx8G9Wbz4BA24RQZUpGczb35fnnJz -p docker:secret -k
+```
+
+#### Step 2: There is no Step 2
+
+You have already done everything you need to do. You are now mining in a docker container with XMRig `ctrl+c` to exit the miner or add `-d` just after `docker run` to background the miner.
