+Building with Podman
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To build the rendered HTML without installing dependencies locally, use
+`Podman <https://podman.io/>`__ with the included ``Dockerfile``:
+
+.. code::
+
+   podman build -t zcash-zips-render .
+   podman run --rm --userns=keep-id -v "$(pwd):/zips" zcash-zips-render
+
+The ``--userns=keep-id`` flag ensures that rendered files are owned by your
+user rather than root. To render only the ZIPs (skipping protocol PDFs):
+
+.. code::
+
+   podman run --rm --userns=keep-id -v "$(pwd):/zips" zcash-zips-render all-zips
