 We recommend using `clang++` with no optimizations for speeding up
 compilation and simplifying debugging.
 
+# Docker
+
+A Dockerfile is included. You can generate an image which contains a copy of p4c
+in `/p4c/build` by running:
+
+```
+docker build -t p4c .
+```
+
+On some platforms Docker limits the memory usage of any container, even
+containers used during the `docker build` process. On macOS in particular the
+default is 2GB, which is not enough to build p4c. Increase the memory limit to
+at least 4GB via Docker preferences or you are likely to see "internal compiler
+errors" from gcc which are caused by low memory.
