+# Tiniest notebook stack #
+
+This is the tiniest possible docker image that can run a Jupyter Notebook. It
+is primarily meant for demo purposes where speed of pulling is important.
+
+Not recommended for non-demo uses!
+
+## What it gives you
+
+It is based on [Alpine Linux](https://alpinelinux.org/). It uses pip to install
+both the notebook and jupyterhub packages - the latter allows us to use this
+image for single-user servers in Kubernetes / Docker spawners.
+
+You can use pip3 to install packages (with `pip3` or `apk`) as root. There
+are no non-root users provisioned.
+
+## Basic usage
+
+You can run a notebook with:
+
+```
+sudo docker run  -it  --rm  -p 8888:8888 jupyter/tiniest-notebook
+```
+
+The default command is `/usr/bin/jupyter` (not `/usr/local/bin/jupyth`). For
+use with jupyterhub, `/usr/bin/jupyterhub-singleuser` is also available.
