+
+Play With Docker gives you the experience of having a free Alpine Linux Virtual Machine in the cloud
+where you can build and run Docker containers and even create clusters with Docker features like Swarm Mode.
+
+Under the hood DIND or Docker-in-Docker is used to give the effect of multiple VMs/PCs.
+
+A live version is available at: http://play-with-docker.com/
+
+## Installation
+
+Start the Docker daemon on your machine and run `docker pull docker:1.12.2-rc2-dind`. 
+
+1) Install go 1.7.1 with `brew` on Mac or through a package manager.
+
+2) `go get`
+
+3) `go build`
+
+4) Run the binary produced as `play-with-docker`
+
+5) Point to http://localhost:3000/ and click "New Instance"
+
+Notes:
+
+* There is a hard-coded limit to 5 Docker playgrounds per session. After 1 hour sessions are deleted.
+* If you want to override the DIND version or image then set the environmental variable i.e.
+  `DIND_IMAGE=docker:dind`
+
