+# Cron docker
+
+A Docker image for running a Cron daemon, actually running
+[Supersonic](https://github.com/aptible/supercronic).
+
+## Usage
+
+There are possible usage patterns for this image. The first is using it in a
+multi-stage image build as the source of the `supersonic` binary to incorporate
+in your own image like so:
+
+```
+FROM adarnimrod/cron as supersonic
+
+FROM alpine:latest
+COPY --from=supersonic /usr/local/bin/supersonic /usr/local/bin/
+```
+
+The other pattern is building on top of this image to run some periodic tasks
+like so:
+
+```
+FROM adarnimrod/cron
+RUN apk add --update --no-cache aws-cli
+COPY crontab /crontab
+COPY script /usr/local/bin/
+```
+
