+## section-io specifics
+We forked a version of filebeats at v6.2.3.  In order to build an equivalent docker image
+we need to also use the Dockerfile that created the v6.2.3 that Elastic produces.
+
+The file `sectin-io.md` explains how to go about generating the Dockerfile along with the changes to a number of files in this fork.
+
 ## Description
 
 This repository contains the official [Beats][beats] Docker images from

+# Purpose
+These instruction outline the steps used to create the Dockerfile used
+to build filebeats for the section.io deployment.
+
+## TL;DR
+This is provided as step to create an environment from scratch on a VM
+that doesn't initially have docker running.
+
+- Setup a VM (ubuntu/xenial)
+- Get User and IP from VM (with bridged network or something that lets
+  you SSH and SCP to the VM).
+- Edit dev-local.sh with the USER and IP
+- Run ./dev-local.sh to push local files into VM via SCP
+- Ssh into the machine and run $HOME/install.sh which will add docker to the
+  machine and setup the docker group
+- With the ssh session then run $HOME/build.sh which will create the docker
+  image, then output to console the Dockerfile that was generated.
+
+## Sorter version
+Starting with a docker deamon running some environment such that the local
+docker can issue commands against.
+
+Simply run `./build.sh` which should `docker build` the image targeting the
+configured deamon.  The script will then also attempt to run the created
+image and simply output the generated Dockerfile.
+
+## Steps in Code
+See Dockerfile.build.  It hightlights the steps in Dockerfile format using a
+Python3 image.
