+### Running Solr in Docker
+
+You can run Solr in Docker via the [official image](https://hub.docker.com/_/solr).
+
+To run Solr in a container and expose the Solr port, run:
+
+`docker run -p 8983:8983 solr`
+
+In order to start Solr in cloud mode, run the following.
+
+`docker run -p 8983:8983 solr solr-fg -c`
+
+For documentation on using the official docker builds, please refer to the [DockerHub page](https://hub.docker.com/_/solr).  
+Up to date documentation for running locally built images of this branch can be found in the [local reference guide](solr/solr-ref-guide/src/running-solr-in-docker.adoc).
+
+There is also a gradle task for building custom Solr images from your local checkout.
+These local images are built identically to the official image except for retrieving the Solr artifacts locally instead of from the official release.
+This can be useful for testing out local changes as well as creating custom images for yourself or your organization.
+The task will output the image name to use at the end of the build.
+
+`./gradlew docker`
+
+For more info on building an image, run:
+
+`./gradlew helpDocker`
+
+### Running Solr on Kubernetes
+
+Solr has official support for running on Kubernetes, in the official Docker image.
+Please refer to the [Solr Operator](https://solr.apache.org/operator) home for details, tutorials and instructions.
+
 ### Gradle build and IDE support
 
 - *IntelliJ* - IntelliJ idea can import the project out of the box.
