+# Wyatt's stash of custom containers
+
+These are my custom containers that are for immutable Linux distributions. Since they are mine, they are opinionated and would only probably work for me.
+
+These containers are based on CoreOS, Fedora Linux, and Toolbox so the containers that listed in this repository are speifically tailored for those technologies. However, you may get these containers to work on other technologies as well (with enough elbow grease).
+
+## Base container
+
+The base container serves as the base for every other container in this repository. Installed in this container are `git`, `fish`, some Rust tools like `bat` and `exa`, some C development tools, and normal system administrator tools.
