-# README for Docker Image Build and Publish Workflows
+# 🖥️ GNS3 VNC Appliance Template
 
-## Overview
+> **Base Image**: `git.merith.xyz/gns3/base-vnc:latest`  
+Create custom VNC appliances for GNS3 with automatic startup scripts.
 
-This repository contains two GitHub Actions workflows that automate the building and publishing of Docker images to an OCI registry. 
+---
 
-### Workflows
+## 🚀 Quick Start
 
-1. **On Commit to Main**
-   - **Trigger:** Activates on commits to the `main` branch (tags are excluded).
-   - **Purpose:** Builds and publishes a Docker image for each commit.
+1. **Clone the template**:
+```bash
+git clone https://git.merith.xyz/gns3/vnc-template.git
+cd vnc-template
+```
 
-2. **On Tag Push**
-   - **Trigger:** Activates when a new tag is pushed.
-   - **Purpose:** Builds and publishes a Docker image for the tag and tags it as `latest`.
+2. **Customize your appliance**:
+```dockerfile
+FROM git.merith.xyz/gns3/base-vnc:latest
 
-## Prerequisites
+## ADD YOUR CUSTOMIZATIONS HERE ##
+RUN apk add --no-cache firefox-esr xterm
 
-- **Secrets Needed:**
-  - `OCI_TOKEN`: Your OCI registry token.
-  - `OCI_USER`: Your OCI registry username.
+## END CUSTOMIZATION ##
+COPY ./entrypoint.sh /entrypoint.sh
+RUN chmod +x /entrypoint.sh
+```
 
-## How to Use
+3. **Configure startup** (`entrypoint.sh`):
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# Start your applications automatically:
+firefox &  # Launch in background
+xterm      # Keep terminal open
+```
 
-1. **Clone the Repository:** Get a local copy of this repository.
-2. **Modify Dockerfile:** Update the `Dockerfile` for your application.
-3. **Push Changes:** Push changes to the `main` branch or create a new tag.
-4. **Check Workflow Status:** View the Actions tab in Forgjo to monitor workflow runs.
+4. **Build and push**:
+```bash
+docker build -t your-registry/vnc-firefox:latest .
+docker push your-registry/vnc-firefox:latest
+```
 
-## Notes
+---
 
-- Ensure your Docker environment is compatible with multi-platform builds if necessary.
