+This repository comes with a custom Docker image containing both Node-RED and the Seqera nodes, so that you can quickly launch a complete instance of Node-RED with everything you need.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This image is designed to be a reference only to get you started only.

-Simply create a new Studio with the _Template_ set to _Prebuilt container image_ and enter:
+The image can be found at (also with verioned tags):
 
 ```
 ghcr.io/seqeralabs/node-red-seqera:latest
 ```
 
+To run, you can use a Docker command such as the following:
+
+```bash
+docker run -p 1880:1880 ghcr.io/seqeralabs/node-red-seqera:latest
+```
+
+Please note that you will need to mount a local data folder to save progress, or save flows using _Projects_, in case you need to kill the container to upgrade or similar.
+See [the Node-RED documentation](https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/docker) for more details.
+
+## Seqera Studios
+
+In addition to the base Docker image, the repo has an image specifically designed to run within [Seqera Studios](https://docs.seqera.io/platform-cloud/studios/overview).
+
+To use, create a new Studio with the _Template_ set to _Prebuilt container image_ and enter:
+
+```
+ghcr.io/seqeralabs/node-red-seqera:studios-latest
+```
+
 Make sure that the studio is set to _Always keep the session running_.
 
 Your new Studio should launch with a complete Node-RED instance that's ready for you to customise and use with Seqera automation.
