+
+```console
+docker start -ai open-jupyter
 ```
 
 ## What it does
 
 It starts a Jupyter Notebook at [localhost:8888](http://localhost:8888) without a password.
 
+## What's in the docker image?
+
+This docker image is build from `debian:stable` and contains:
+
+- A virtual environment (with Python 3)
+- Opengen [v0.8.0](https://github.com/alphaville/optimization-engine/releases/tag/opengen-0.8.0)
+- The [latest version](https://crates.io/crates/optimization_engine) of the OpEn rust solver is installed automatically
+- Jupyter notebook (runs automatically when the image runs)
+
+
+## How to open a terminal into the docker image
+
+Just 
+
+```console
+docker exec -it open-jupyter bash
+```
+
+This will open a bash shell to the docker image with name `open-jupyter`; this is the name we specified above when we ran the image (using `--name open-jupyter`). In this bash shell, the virtual environment on which the Jupyter notebook is running is enabled by default. 
+
+
+### How to run with specified volume
+
+Firstly, you need to create a volume. You only need to do this once (unless you want to create different volumes). As an example, let us create a docker volume with name `OpEnVolume`:
+
+```console
+docker volume create OpEnVolume
+```
+
+Next, let us run the image `alphaville/open:0.5.0` with the above volume:
+
+```console
+docker run --name open-jupyter \
+           --mount source=OpEnVolume,destination=/open \
+           -p 8888:8888 \
