-This is a image around the `kaniko` executor
\ No newline at end of file
+This is an image that wraps and extends `kaniko`. It contains the following tools:
+
+- [kaniko]: A tool to build images in Docker / Kubernetes
+- [crane]: A tool for managing container images (without the need to download them from registries)
+- [jq]: a lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor
+
+With this image you can build images without the need for Docker-in-Docker.
+The image is based on `alpine:git`, so you can utilize `apk` and `git` as well.
+
+If you use this image in GitLab CI, it automatically logs in with credentials provided in GitLab CI.

+
+## Usage
+
+GitLab Docs on usage of [kaniko](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/docker/using_kaniko.html).
+
+This image simplifies building with kaniko even further. `/kaniko/executor` and `/kaniko/warmer` are also
+aliased to `kaniko-executor` and `kaniko-warmer`.
+
+```yaml
+build:
+  stage: build
+  image: registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-build-images/kaniko
+  script:
+    - >-
+      kaniko-executor
+      --context "${CI_PROJECT_DIR}"
+      --dockerfile "${CI_PROJECT_DIR}/Dockerfile"
+      --destination "${CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE}:${CI_COMMIT_TAG}"
+  rules:
+    - if: $CI_COMMIT_TAG
+```
+
+## Environment variables
+
+- `BUILD_IMAGE_NO_MESSAGE`: per default prints a message with version information, set this variable to suppress it
+- `BUILD_IMAGE_NO_AUTO_LOGIN`: per default authenticating against the registry, set this variable to suppress this
