 # grafana-build-container
-Grafana build container
 
-## Description
+These are the sources for the Docker image that we use for the Grafana build containers. The image source itself
+is in Dockerfile, but there are supporting scripts such as the Makefile, for building images.
 
-This is a container for cross-platform builds of Grafana. You can run it locally using the Makefile.
+The image is based on Debian Stretch, since we want an older Linux distribution (Stretch has long-term support into
+2022) to build binaries that are as portable as possible.
