+# ssh-chat docker
+
+Docker image of [ssh-chat](https://github.com/shazow/ssh-chat) by [shazow](https://github.com/shazow).
+
+# Usage
+
+Generate keys outside of Docker to keep persistence, and not get warnings:
+
+```
+$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -N '' -f ./ssh-chat-key
+```
+
+Run the docker image:
+
+```
+$ docker run -p 2022:2022 -v /ssh-chat-key:/ssh_key marcoslater/ssh-chat:latest
+```
+
+You may supply additional arguments to the image, example:
+
+```
+$ docker run -p 22:22 -v /ssh-chat-key:/ssh_key marcoslater/ssh-chat:latest --bind ":22"
+```
+
+# Development
+
+Improvements and ideas can be found on the projects issues section.
