-Builder images for use by forgejo actions.
\ No newline at end of file
+Docker image for building Rust projects with Cargo.
+
+## Usage
+
+In a Forgejo action file, e.g. `.forgejo/workflows/test.yml`:
+
+```yml
+on: [push]
+jobs:
+  test:
+    runs-on: docker
+    steps:
+      - uses: https://git.kemitix.net/kemitix/rust@main
+        with:
+          args: test
+      - uses: https://git.kemitix.net/kemitix/rust@main
+        with:
+          args: build
+
+```
+
+## Contents
+
+- nodejs
+- clang-16
+- mold
+- rust
+- cargo
+- cargo-binstall
+
+## Linking
+
+To take advantage of the clang and mold packages, add the following to the `.cargo/config.toml` file in your project.
+
+```toml
+[target.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu]                                                
+linker = "/usr/bin/clang-16"                                                     
+rustflags = ["-C", "link-arg=--ld-path=/usr/bin/mold"]
+```
+
+## Binary size
+
+To reduce the size of the debug binary, add the following to the `.cargo/config.toml` file in you project.
+
+```toml
+[profile.dev]      
+debug = 0          
+strip = "debuginfo"
+```
