 ## Building with Podman
 
+The containerfile of either `mkdocs-git` or `mkdocs-git-multilang` can be build with [podman](https://podman.io/) by executing the following in the working directory (either `mkdocs-git/monolang` or `mkdocs-git/multilang`):
 
+``` shell-session
+sh$ podman build --network=pasta -f mkdocs-git.containerfile -t mkdocs-git:latest
+```
+
+An mkdocs-git container may then be deployed by specifying the git repository URL in the `GIT_REPO_URL` environment variable and additionally for the multilang version the list of languages in the `WIKI_LANG` environment variable.
