 Docker Documentation
 ====================
 
-This directory contains the Docker user manual in the Markdown format.
-Do *not* edit the man pages in the man1 directory. Instead, amend the
-Markdown (*.md) files.
+This directory contains scripts for generating the man pages. Many of the man
+pages are generated directly from the `spf13/cobra` `Command` definition. Some
+legacy pages are still generated from the markdown files in this directory.
+Do *not* edit the man pages in the man1 directory. Instead, update the
+Cobra command or amend the Markdown files for legacy pages.
 
-# Generating man pages from the Markdown files
 
-The recommended approach for generating the man pages is via a Docker
-container using the supplied `Dockerfile` to create an image with the correct
-environment. This uses `go-md2man`, a pure Go Markdown to man page generator.
+## Generate the mange pages
 
-## Building the md2man image
+From within the project root directory run:
 
-There is a `Dockerfile` provided in the `/man` directory of your
-'docker/docker' fork.
-
-Using this `Dockerfile`, create a Docker image tagged `docker/md2man`:
-
-    docker build -t docker/md2man .
-
-## Utilizing the image
-
-From within the `/man` directory run the following command:
-
-    docker run -v $(pwd):/man -w /man -i docker/md2man ./md2man-all.sh
-    
-The `md2man` Docker container will process the Markdown files and generate
-the man pages inside the `/man/man1` directory of your fork using
-Docker volumes. For more information on Docker volumes see the man page for
-`docker run` and also look at the article [Sharing Directories via Volumes]
-(https://docs.docker.com/use/working_with_volumes/).
