+# Docker Containers BKMs
+
+## Installation
+
+Follow the [official guide](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) for your
+OS or distro.
+
+### Change location of the images on the system
+
+By default Docker stores images in `/var/lib/docker`, but that can be changed.
+
+Create a new file called `/etc/docker/daemon.json` and put the following
+content:
+
+```
+{
+  "data-root": "/path/to/data/root",
+  "exec-root": "/path/to/exec/root"
+}
+```
+
+### Running Docker without sudo
+
+Add your local user to `docker` group to be able to run docker commands without
+sudo.
+
+
+### Docker vs Podman
+
+Docker and Podman are very similar tools, that allow you to manage and run
+container images. Unlike Docker, Podman runs without a daemon and allows you
+to run containers without root permissions. The command line syntax is mostly
+identical for Docker and Podman. Choose whatever is available on your system.
+
+## SYCL Containers overview
+
+The following containers are publicly available for DPC++ compiler development:
+
+- `ghcr.io/intel/llvm/ubuntu2004_base`: contains basic environment setup for
+   building DPC++ compiler from source.
+- `ghcr.io/intel/llvm/ubuntu2004_intel_drivers`: contains everything from the
+   base container + pre-installed Intel drivers.
+- `ghcr.io/intel/llvm/sycl_ubuntu2004_nightly`: contains the latest successfully
+   built nightly build of DPC++ compiler. The image comes in two flavors:
+   with pre-installed Intel drivers (`latest`) and without them (`no-drivers`).
+
+## Running Docker container interactively
+
+The main application of Docker is containerizing services. But it also allows
+you to run containers interactively, so that you can use them as you would use a
+terminal or SSH session. The following command allows you to do that:
+
+```
+docker run --name <friendly_name> -it <image_name>[:<tag>] /bin/bash
+```
+
+This command will download an image if it does not exist locally. If you've
+downloaded an image previously, and you want to update it, use
+`docker pull <image_name>` command.
+
+## Persisting data
+
+### Persisting data with volumes
+
+Docker container images are read-only. When container is destroyed, all its data
+is lost. To persist data when working with containers (i.e. when upgrading
+container version) one can use Docker volumes.
+
+Creating a volume:
+
+```
+docker volume create <volume name>
+```
+
+Listing all volumes:
+
+```
+docker volume list
+```
+
+Mounting volume to the container:
+
+```
+docker run <options> -v <volume_name>:/path/inside/container <image_name> bash
+```
+
+Deleting a volume:
+
+```
+docker volume rm <image_name>
+```
+
+See [official documentation](https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/) for more
+info.
+
+### Passthrough a directory to a container
+
+Use `-v path/on/host:path/in/container` argument for `run` command to
+passthrough a host directory or a file.
+
+## GPU passthrough
+
+### Intel
+
+Add `--device=/dev/dri` argument to `run` command to passthrough you Intel GPU.
+Make sure you're a member of `video` group to be able to access GPU.
+
+### AMD
+
+Follow the [official guide](https://rocmdocs.amd.com/en/latest/ROCm_Virtualization_Containers/ROCm-Virtualization-&-Containers.html).
+
+### Nvidia
+
+Follow [these](https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/user-guide.html)
+instructions.
+
+## Changing Docker user
+
+By default all processes inside Docker run as root. Some LLVM or Clang tests
+expect your user to be anything but root. You can change the user by specifying
+`-u <username or uid>` option. All Docker containers come with user `sycl`
+created.
+
+## Managing downloaded Docker images
+
+List local images:
+```
+docker image ls
+```
+
+Remove local image:
+```
+docker image rm <image_name_or_id>
+```
+
+## Managing disk usage
+
+See how much space is taken by docker:
+
+```
+docker system df
+```
+
+Cleaning unused data:
+
+```
+docker system prune
+```
+
+See [official documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/system_prune/)
+for more info.
+
+## Building a Docker Container from scratch
+
+Docker containers can be built with the following command:
+
+```
+docker build -f path/to/devops/containers/file.Dockerfile path/to/devops/
+```
+
+The `ubuntu2004_preinstalled.Dockerfile` script expects `llvm_sycl.tar.xz` file
+to be present in `devops/` directory.
+
+Containers other than base provide several configurable arguments, the most
+commonly used are `base_image` and `base_tag`, which specify the base Docker
+image and its tag. You can set additional arguments with `--build-arg ARG=value`
+argument.
