 # Qocker-miqt
 
-Qocker-miqt is a port of Qocker to MIQT.
+Qocker-miqt is a user-friendly GUI application for managing Docker containers.
+
+This is a fork of [Qocker](https://github.com/xlmnxp/Qocker) ported to the [MIQT](https://github.com/mappu/miqt) library for demonstration purposes.
+
+## Building
+
+```bash
+apt install qt6-base-dev build-essential golang-go
+go build -ldflags '-s -w'
+./qocker-miqt
+```
+
+If your `docker` binary requires `sudo`, then
+1. Run `sudo docker` once to prime the sudo login cache; then
+2. Run `./qocker-miqt --sudo`. Then qocker will use sudo for all docker invocations.
