+# We're using a multistage Docker build here in order to allow us to release a self-verifying
+# Docker image when built on the official Docker infrastructure.
+# They require us to verify the source integrity in some way while making sure that this is a
+# reproducible build.
+# See https://github.com/docker-library/official-images#image-build
+# In order to achieve this, we externally host the rootfs archives and their checksums and then
+# just download and verify it in the first stage of this Dockerfile.
+# The second stage is for actually configuring the system a little bit.
+# Some templating is done in order to allow us to easily build different configurations and to
+# allow us to automate the releaes process.
