+# website-serve Docker Image
+
+This is a simple `node:lts` based Docker Image with the `serve` fork of `@warren-bank` already preinstalled.
+It can be used to serve static files like websites.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use the `serve` process, run the following `CMD` at the end of your own docker image:
+
+```dockerfile
+CMD [ "serve", DIRECTORY, "-p", PORT ]
+```
+
+Replace the values for `DIRECTORY` and `PORT` accordingly.
+
+It is recommended to include a `serve.json` file inside the `DIRECTORY`. <br/>
+The syntax for this can be found [here](https://github.com/warren-bank/node-serve/tree/master/lib/serve-handler)
