+# Docker for dbt
+This docker file is suitable for building dbt Docker images locally or using with CI/CD to automate populating a container registry.
+
+
+## Building an image:
+This Dockerfile can create images for the following target: `dbt-postgres`
+
+In order to build a new image, run the following docker command.
+```
+docker build --tag <your_image_name> --target dbt-postgres <path/to/dockerfile>
+```
+---
+> **Note:**  Docker must be configured to use [BuildKit](https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/build_enhancements/) in order for images to build properly!
+
+---
+
+By default the images will be populated with the most recent release of `dbt-postgres`.  If you need to use a different version you can specify it by git ref using the `--build-arg` flag:
+```
+docker build --tag <your_image_name> \
+  --target dbt-postgres \
+  --build-arg dbt_postgres_ref=<git_ref> \
+  <path/to/dockerfile>
+```
+
+### Examples:
+To build an image named "my-dbt" that supports Snowflake using the latest releases:
+```
+cd dbt-core/docker
+docker build --tag my-dbt --target dbt-postgres .
+```
+
+To build an image named "my-other-dbt" that supports Snowflake using the adapter version 1.0.0b1:
+```
+cd dbt-core/docker
+docker build \
+  --tag my-other-dbt \
+  --target dbt-postgres \
+  --build-arg dbt_postgres_ref=dbt-postgres@v1.0.0b1 \
+ .
+```
+
+## Special cases
+There are a few special cases worth noting:
+
+* If you need to build against another architecture (linux/arm64 in this example) you can override the `build_for` build arg:
+```
+docker build --tag my_dbt \
+  --target dbt-postgres \
+  --build-arg build_for=linux/arm64 \
+  <path/to/dockerfile>
+```
+
+Supported architectures can be found in the python docker [dockerhub page](https://hub.docker.com/_/python).
+
+## Running an image in a container:
+The `ENTRYPOINT` for this Dockerfile is the command `dbt` so you can bind-mount your project to `/usr/app` and use dbt as normal:
+```
+docker run \
+  --network=host \
+  --mount type=bind,source=path/to/project,target=/usr/app \
+  --mount type=bind,source=path/to/profiles.yml,target=/root/.dbt/profiles.yml \
+  my-dbt \
+  ls
+```
+---
+**Notes:**
+* Bind-mount sources _must_ be an absolute path
+* You may need to make adjustments to the docker networking setting depending on the specifics of your data warehouse/database host.
