+## TL;DR
+
+Run
+```
+id=$(docker run -d ungleich/nginx-letsencrypt-ipv6)
+docker logs ${id} 2>/dev/null | grep "^Getting certificate"
+```
+to create a docker container with full https enabled.
+**Attention:** You do need to
+[enable IPv6 in docker before](https://ungleich.ch/u/blog/how-to-enable-ipv6-in-docker/).
+
+## How it works
+
+Any computer with a valid IPv6 address can retrieve a valid
+certificate from [letsencrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/). This is
+possible due to the
+[has-a.name](https://ungleich.ch/u/blog/has-a-name-for-every-ipv6-address/)
+domain, which gives a name to **every possible IPv6 address out
+there**.
+
+In the docker container we retrieve its IPv6 address, turn it into a
+name and then request a certificate from letsencrypt.
+
+## How is this useful?
+
+Finally all your docker containers can be world wide reachable, fully
+secured without any manual configuration required.
+
+This way you can expose in-development containers directly to your
+customer or even locally test with https instead of http.
+
+## Why is this great?
+
+This is the first service that allows you to fully automated https on
+any docker container without manual intervention. You can just fire it
+up and https is running with an official certificate.
+
+## Developing on top of it
+
+You can also build your own container based
+on the
+[ungleich/nginx-letsencrypt-ipv6
+container](https://hub.docker.com/r/ungleich/nginx-letsencrypt-ipv6).
+Simply use the standard **FROM** statement in your dockerfile and
+enjoy a read-to-use-https-container.
