 ## Usage and examples
 
 The OpenShift client depends on the [Kubernetes Python client](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/client-python.git), and as part of the installation process, the Kubernetes (K8s) client is automatically installed.
 
+In the case you are using Docker, you will likely need to share your `.kube/config` with the `openshift-restclient-python` container:
+
+```
+docker run -it -v $HOME/.kube/config:/root/.kube/config:z openshift-restclient-python python
+```
