 You should see `warning: use-installed-tools feature on, skipping compilation of C++ code` during the compilation, but otherwise the build will function just the same as if you compiled the C++ code, with the exception that it will fail if you don't have SPIRV-Tools installed correctly.
 
+## Docker Image
+
+The repo root contains a Dockerfile that builds rust-gpu and also provides the configured development environment.
+
+To build it, clone the repository and run the following in the root of the repository.
+
+```shell
+docker build -t rust-gpu-dev .
+```
+
+To access the container:
+```shell
+docker run -it --name rust-gpu-dev rust-gpu-dev bash
+```
+
+The container builds from the current source directory. If you make local changes, and then rebuild those changes will be reflected in the new container image.
