+## Working with Docker Images
+
+Components:
+  - Dockerfile
+  - Workflow for building Docker image
+  - Project build using Docker image
+
+Overview:
+
+The [Dockerfile](.github/Dockerfile) describes how to create an image for building the tt-mlir project file. It starts with a supported base image (Ubuntu 22.04) and installs the necessary packages. The purpose of the Docker build is to:
+
+  - Set up build dependencies
+  - Prepare the tt-mlir toolchain
+
+During the Docker build, the project is built and tests are run to ensure that everything is set up correctly. If any dependencies are missing, the Docker build will fail.
+
+This process also prepopulates caches for Python packages and the ccache cache in the image, which should make subsequent builds faster.
+
+### Building the Docker Image using GitHub Actions
+
+The GitHub Actions workflow [Build and Publish Docker Image](.github/workflows/build-image.yml) builds the Docker image and uploads it to GitHub Packages at https://github.com/orgs/tenstorrent/packages?repo_name=tt-mlir. The image name is tt-mlir-ubuntu-22-04, and we use the git SHA we build from as the tag.
+
+### Building the Docker Image Locally
+
+To test the changes and build the image locally, use the following command:
+```bash
+docker build -f .github/Dockerfile -t tt-mlir-ubuntu-22-04:latest .
+```
+
+### Pushing the Docker Image to GitHub
+
+Images built locally can be pushed to GitHub. First, we need to generate a PAT token with the "write:packages" access enabled. Go to GitHub -> Settings -> Developer settings -> Personal access tokens -> Generate new token.
+
+Authenticate with GitHub Container Registry:
+```bash
+echo "<my-github-pat>" | docker login ghcr.io -u <username> --password-stdin
+```
+
+Add a tag to the built image:
+```bash
+docker tag tt-mlir-ubuntu-22-04:latest ghcr.io/tenstorrent/tt-mlir/tt-mlir-ubuntu-22-04:latest
+```
+
+Push the image:
+```bash
+docker push ghcr.io/tenstorrent/tt-mlir/tt-mlir-ubuntu-22-04:latest
+```
+
+### Using the Image in GitHub Actions Jobs
+
+The GitHub Actions workflow [Build in Docker](.github/workflows/docker-build.yml) uses a Docker container for building:
+```yaml
+    container:
+      image: ghcr.io/${{ github.repository }}/tt-mlir-ubuntu-22-04:latest
+      options: --user root
+```
