+# Build
+The following command will perform a build of a static binary for Linux.
+The result of this build can be used by a scratch Docker image. This reduces container size drastically.
+
+```bash
+CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux go build -a -installsuffix cgo -o server .
+```
+
+# Docker image usage
+
+You can start Docker container with the following command (make sure to replace `<USER>` and `<PASSWORD>` placeholders with your own credentials).
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name socks5-proxy -p 1080:1080 -e USER=<USER> -e PASSWORD=<PASSWORD> ocassio/go-socks5-proxy
+```
+
+# Special thanks
