+**Compact Box Docker Image README**
+=====================================
+
+**Overview**
+------------
+
+The Compact Box Docker image is designed to simplify file operations and examination of volume contents. This image is built on top of the official Alpine Linux image and includes a set of essential tools for file management.
+
+**Usage**
+---------
+
+To use the Compact Box Docker image, follow these steps:
+
+### 1. Pull the Image
+
+First, pull the Compact Box Docker image from the registry:
+```bash
+docker pull compact-box
+```
+### 2. Run the Container
+
+Run a new container from the image, mounting a volume at `/mnt`:
+```bash
+docker run -it --rm --name compact -v nc4_files:/mnt compact-box
+```
+Replace `nc4_files` with the name of your volume.
+
+### 3. Access the Container
+
+You will be logged into the container as the root user. You can now perform file operations and examine the contents of the volume at `/mnt`.
+
+**Tools Included**
+-----------------
+
+The Compact Box Docker image includes the following tools:
+
+* `bash`: The Bourne-Again SHell
+* `wget`: A command-line utility for downloading files from the web
+* `rsync`: A command-line utility for synchronizing files and directories
+* `mc`: The Midnight Commander file manager
+* `sudo`: A command-line utility for running commands with superuser privileges
+* `vim`: A text editor
+* `zip`: A command-line utility for compressing and decompressing files
+* `curl`: A command-line utility for transferring data to and from a web server
+
+**Volume Configuration**
+----------------------
+
+The image configures the `/mnt` directory with the following permissions:
+```bash
+chmod 755 /mnt
+```
+This allows the container to read and write files in the volume.
+
+**Default Command**
+------------------
+
+The default command for the container is `bash`, which logs you into the container as the root user.
+
+**Example Use Cases**
+--------------------
+
+* Examine the contents of a volume: `docker run -it --rm --name compact -v nc4_files:/mnt compact-box`
+* Copy files from the volume to the host machine: `docker run -it --rm --name compact -v nc4_files:/mnt compact-box rsync -av /mnt/ /host/path/`
+* Download a file from the web and save it to the volume: `docker run -it --rm --name compact -v nc4_files:/mnt compact-box wget -O /mnt/file.txt http://example.com/file.txt`
