+# A simple script to run commands (e.g. build commands) in a Docker container.
+# It can be used for testing on platforms different from the host. For example,
+# the command
+# 
+# ./container-run.sh arm ./build test
+#
+# builds nissy and runs the unit tests in an ARM container.
+# The container images are based on Alpine Linux, see Dockerfile for details.
+# The images are built with a tag starting with 'localhost/nissy/'.
+# See below for a list of options.
