+# Docker images
+
+There are two `Dockerfile` files to build docker images, one to build an image with the mmengine package and the other with the mmengine development environment.
+
+```text
+.
+|-- README.md
+|-- dev  # build with mmengine development environment
+|   `-- Dockerfile
+`-- release  # build with mmengine package
+    `-- Dockerfile
+```
+
+## Build docker images
+
+### Build with mmengine package
+
+Build with local repository
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmengine.git && cd mmengine
+docker build -t mmengine -f docker/release/Dockerfile .
+```
+
+Or build with remote repository
+
+```bash
+docker build -t mmengine https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmengine.git#main:docker/release
+```
+
+The [Dockerfile](release/Dockerfile) installs the latest released version of mmengine by default, but you can specify mmengine versions to install expected versions.
+
+```bash
+docker image build -t mmengine -f docker/release/Dockerfile --build-arg MMENGINE=0.1.0 .
+```
+
+If you also want to use other versions of PyTorch and CUDA, you can also pass them when building docker images.
+
+An example to build an image with PyTorch 1.11 and CUDA 11.3.
+
+```bash
+docker build -t mmengine -f docker/release/Dockerfile \
+    --build-arg PYTORCH=1.9.0 \
+    --build-arg CUDA=11.1 \
+    --build-arg CUDNN=8 .
+```
+
+More available versions of PyTorch and CUDA can be found at [dockerhub/pytorch](https://hub.docker.com/r/pytorch/pytorch/tags).
+
+### Build with mmengine development environment
+
+If you want to build an docker image with the mmengine development environment, you can use the following command
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmengine.git && cd mmengine
+docker build -t mmengine -f docker/dev/Dockerfile .
+```
+
+## Run images
+
+```bash
+docker run --gpus all --shm-size=8g -it mmengine
+```
+
+See [docker run](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/run/) for more usages.
