+# Docker images with cross compilers preinstalled
+
+This repository contains a series of Docker descriptions to create, and run, containers with cross compilers, and their needed SDKs for several environment.
+
+These containers open an SSH port and have rsync installed so they can be used with CLion and other remote IDEs.
+
+Each directory contains a `README.md` file describing the exact compiler, version, environment and target, as well as, if available, a `CMake` toolchain that autoconfigures everything.
+
+The images are also uploaded to [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/u/claunia).
