 Render files:
 
-    ./template.py --render

-By default, files are rendered into `files` directory in current dir.
+Files are rendered into `bootstrap/generated-dists` directory in current dir.

-Build docker images:
+Just calculate the sha1sum for consistency checks:
 
-    ./docker.py --build
+ bootstrap/template.py --sha1sum
 
-Tag docker images:
+The checksum needs to be added as `SAMBA_CI_CONTAINER_TAG` in
+the toplevel .gitlab-ci.yml file.

-Push docker images(you need to have permission):
+As a gitlab-ci user, I can use this tool to build new CI docker images:
 
-    docker login
-    ./docker.py --push --prefix registry.gitlab.com/samba-team/samba
+ After committing the result of calling `bootstrap/template.py --render`
+ and updating `SAMBA_CI_CONTAINER_TAG` in .gitlab-ci.yml, you can push
+ The branch to git@gitlab.com:samba-team/devel/samba.git using:
 
-the prefix defaults to `registry.gitlab.com/samba-team/samba`, and you can
-override it with env var `SAMBA_DOCKER_IMAGE_NAME_PREFIX`.
+  git push -o ci.skip git@gitlab.com:samba-team/devel/samba.git ...
 
-## User Stories
+ The `-o ci.skip` option means gitlab won't start a pipeline
+ for the just pushed branch.
+
+ Instead you would start a custom pipeline at:
+
+  https://gitlab.com/samba-team/devel/samba/pipelines/new
+
+ But you need to pass `SAMBA_CI_REBUILD_IMAGES=yes` as environment
+ variable. It means the pipeline runs the 'images' stage and builds
+ the new container images for all supported distributions and
+ uploads the images into the registry.gitlab.com/samba-team/devel/samba
+ container registry.
+
+ If you want to try to build images for the (currently) broken
+ distributions, you would pass `SAMBA_CI_REBUILD_BROKEN_IMAGES=yes`
+ in addition to the custom pipeline. Note the images for
+ the broken distributions are just build, but not uploaded
+ to the container registry. And any failures in the image
+ creation is ignored. Once you managed to get success, you should
+ move from `.build_image_template_force_broken` to `.build_image_template`.
+ And also add a `.samba-o3-template` job for the new image
+ in the main .gitlab-ci.yml file.
 
-As a gitlab-ci maintainer, I can use this tool to build the CI docker images.
-I can also automate it.
+ Over time we'll get a lot of images pushed to the container registry.
+ The approach we're using allows gitlab project maintainers to
+ remove old images! But it is possible to regenerate the images
+ if you have the need to run a gitlab ci pipeline based on an
+ older branch.
 
 As a Samba developer/tester, I can setup a Samba env very quickly.
 
 With Docker:
 
-    cd ~/samba
-    git clean -xdf
-    docker run -it -v $(pwd):/home/samba/samba samba-ubuntu1604:latest bash
+ cd ~/samba
+ git clean -xdf
+ docker login
+ docker pull registry.gitlab.com/samba-team/devel/samba/samba-ci-ubuntu1804:${sha1sum}
+ docker run -it -v $(pwd):/home/samba/samba samba-ci-ubuntu1804:${sha1sum} bash
 
 With Vagrant:
 
-    cd ./files/
-    vagrant up   # start all
-    vagrant up debian9  # start one
-    vagrant ssh debian9
-    vagrant destroy debian9  # destroy one
-    vagrant destroy  # destroy all
+ cd bootstrap/generated-dists/
+ vagrant up   # start all
+ vagrant up debian9  # start one
+ vagrant ssh debian9
+ vagrant destroy debian9  # destroy one
+ vagrant destroy  # destroy all
 
 Or a remote/cloud machine:
 
-    scp ./files/fedora29/bootstrap.sh USER@IP:
-    ssh USER@IP
-    sudo bash ./bootstrap.sh
+ scp bootstrap/generated-dists/fedora29/bootstrap.sh USER@IP:
