+# Docker Sandboxes The Easy Way
+
+
+This repo provides a fast track to spinning up docker containers as
+"servers".  You can log into these and do most of the things you do an
+a "real" server or VM.
+
+# Things You Can Learn And Use From This
+
+* How to build a `docker` image from a "dockerfile"
+* How to use `ansible` to create and destroy running `docker` servers
+* How host and `ssh` keys are managed on a `docker` instance
+* How to enable `ssh` access to a `docker` instance
+
+But this is not a "toy" system.  What you see here is a public subset
+of what we use all the time here at the TundraWare Intergalactic HQ.
+We use this for software development, testing new distributed computing
+ideas, and doing custom builds in a sanitized environment.
+
+
+# Prep Work: What You Need To Do First
+
+The content of this repo assumes you have done several things:
+
+* You've got `docker` already running on your machine
+* You've made `docker` access available to your own login
+* You've got `ansible` installed on your machine
+
+
+# Quickstart For The Impatient
+
+Here's the 10,000 foot view of what you'll have to do once the
+Prep Work above is done:
+
+* Configuring sandbox hostname resolution
+* Build a `docker` image from a dockerfile
+* Use `ansible` to configure and start a `docker` network
+* Use `ansible` to start your sandboxes
+* Login to your running sandboxes
+
+
+# Configuring Sandbox Hostname Resolution
+
+Various parts of this repo assume that there are (up to) 10 running
+sandboxes whose names are 'docksand1` through `docksand10`.  For this to
+work, you have to configure name resolution to properly associate
+these names with their equivant IP addresses.
+
+Most likely, you don't have control of your DNS configuration.  The
+easy way around this is to add the entries you find in
+`dockerfiles/common/etc/dockersand.hosts` to your own
+`/etc/hosts` file.
+
+
+# Building The `docker` Image
+
+
+# Start The `docker` Network
+
+
+# Create The `docker` Sandboxes
+
+
+# Logging In
+
+These sandboxes are setup so you can login from your host machine into the running sandboxes
+using `ssh` keys. You will find the keys under `dockerfiles/common/.ssh/`.  There is also an `ssh`
+configuration stanza you can add to your own `~/.ssh/config` to get your client to use the
+proper key.
+
+However, it is also possible to login using name (`test`) and password (`test`).
+
+Once you are logged in, you can promote yourself to `root` using the `sudo` command without any
+further password required.
