+## The bare minimum ClickHouse Docker image.
+
+It is intented as a showcase to check the amount of implicit dependencies of ClickHouse from the OS in addition to the OS kernel.
+
+Example usage:
+
+```
+./prepare
+docker build --tag clickhouse-bare .
+```
+
+Run clickhouse-local:
+```
+docker run -it --rm --network host clickhouse-bare /clickhouse local --query "SELECT 1"
+```
+
+Run clickhouse-client in interactive mode:
+```
+docker run -it --rm --network host clickhouse-bare /clickhouse client
+```
+
+Run clickhouse-server:
+```
+docker run -it --rm --network host clickhouse-bare /clickhouse server
+```
+
+It can be also run in chroot instead of Docker (first edit the `prepare` script to enable `proc`):
+
+```
+sudo chroot . /clickhouse server
+```
+
+## What does it miss?
+
+- creation of `clickhouse` user to run the server;
+- VOLUME for server;
+- most of the details, see other docker images for comparison.
