-# Preparing
+# Selecting the image
 
-Use the script ./prepare-docker.sh as it will copy the docker files under the
-binary distribution.
+This folder contains four different images for hosting your ActiveMQ Artemis instance in docker
 
-Below is shown the command to prepare the build of the Docker Image starting
-from the local distribution (from the source codes of ActiveMQ Artemis)
+- Alpine (latest) with JRE 11
+- CentOS 7 with JDK 11
+- Ubuntu (latest LTS) with JDK 11
+- Ubuntu (latest LTS) with JRE 11
 
-```
-# Prepare for build the Docker Image from the local distribution. Replace the 
-# {local-distribution-directory} with your directory.
-$ ./prepare-docker.sh --from-local-dist --local-dist-path {local-distribution-directory}
-```
-
-The output of the previous command is shown below.

-Well done! Now you can continue with building the Docker image:
-
-  # Go to ../artemis-distribution/target/apache-artemis-2.17.0-SNAPSHOT-bin/apache-artemis-2.17.0-SNAPSHOT
-  $ cd ../artemis-distribution/target/apache-artemis-2.17.0-SNAPSHOT-bin/apache-artemis-2.17.0-SNAPSHOT
+Among them, Alpine offers the least overhead and also has the smallest footprint thus offering a small attack
+surface.

+# Building
 
-Note: -t artemis-centos and -t artemis-ubuntu are just tag names for the purpose of this guide
+Go to `$ARTEMIS_DIST` where you prepared the binary with Docker files.
+All images are using a so-called Docker multistage build. This means that different docker images are used for
+building and running the application.
+This ensures that you don't have to prepare anything for building the images.
+It is enough if you have Docker installed.
 
-For more info see readme.md.
-```
+Dockerfiles with a suffix of build are used to build the application from your local source.
+Those without the suffix download it from the apache website and thus are much faster built.
 
-The command to prepare the build of the Docker Image starting from the official
-release of ActiveMQ Artemis is shown below
-
-```
-# Prepare for build the Docker Image from the release version. Replace the
-# {release-version} with the version that you want 
-$ ./prepare-docker.sh --from-release --artemis-version {release-version}
-```
-
-The output of the previous command is shown below.
