+# Dockerfile for providing buildozer
+# Build with:
+# docker build --tag=buildozer .
+# In order to give the container access to your current working directory
+# it must be mounted using the --volume option.
+# Run with (e.g. `buildozer --version`):
+# docker run --volume "$(pwd)":/home/user/hostcwd buildozer --version
+# Or for interactive shell:
+# docker run --volume "$(pwd)":/home/user/hostcwd --entrypoint /bin/bash -it --rm buildozer
