+## Docker-packer-ansible
+
+This image aims to provide a usable packer image with ansible slipstreamed
+inside for easy utilization of Ansible Local/Remote builders!
+
+A few notes:
+
+* I've based off the most official Packer image, `hashicorp/packer`
+* This utilizes Alpine Linux which means its more nimble ;)
+* The entrypoint has been reset to the Docker default `/bin/sh/ -c` so this
+  image is more standardized for things like `gitlab-runner` or other
+  application.
+* I'll maintain tags which specify both packer+ansible versions, although I will
+  only update this as I need to for myself and my uses. Pull Requests are very
+  welcome and will be responded to as quickly as possible!
+
+
+#### Example
+
+Given you bind mount a directory `ami_build` which has your packer.json
+and related ansible scripts, something like this should work.
+
+```
+docker run -v /home/user/ami_build:/build -ti -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY=blah
+-e AWS_SECRET_KEY inanimate/packer-ansible "packer build packer.json"
+```
