+# Nomad-in-Docker Image
+
+The [`Dockerfile`](Dockerfile) in this folder creates a Docker image that contains Docker and Nomad.
+
+Running the image requires the following Docker options:
+
+- Allow Nomad to use mount: `--cap-add=SYS_ADMIN`
+- Allow Nomad to use bind mounts: `--security-opt apparmor=unconfined`
+- Add access to Docker daemon: `-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock`
+- Map port to host: `-p 4646:4646`
+
+A complete command to run the container is as follows.
+
+```shell
+docker run --rm --name nomad \
+  --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN \
+  --security-opt apparmor=unconfined \
+  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
+  -p 4646:4646 \
+  nomad-ci
+```
