-# Overview
+# Deployment Assets
 
-The folder contains docker files for the `fuel-core` and for `fuel-core-e2e-client` binaries.
\ No newline at end of file
+This directory contains the container build assets for the `fuel-core` node binary
+and the `fuel-core-e2e-client` helper binary.
+
+## Files
+
+- `Dockerfile`
+  Builds a production-oriented `fuel-core` image.
+  The final image is based on distroless and includes the node binary together
+  with the chain configuration files fetched during the build stage.
+
+- `e2e-client.Dockerfile`
+  Builds a container image for the `fuel-core-e2e-client` binary used in
+  end-to-end and integration-style workflows.
+
+- `../docker-compose.yml`
+  Provides a minimal local setup for running a `fuel-core` node with a
+  persistent database volume.
+
+## Build The Node Image
+
+From the repository root:
+
+```sh
+docker build -t fuel-core -f deployment/Dockerfile .
+```
+
+The resulting image starts `fuel-core run` by default.
+
+## Run With Docker Compose
+
+From the repository root:
+
+```sh
+docker compose up --build fuel-core
+```
+
+This uses [`docker-compose.yml`](../docker-compose.yml) to:
+
+- expose GraphQL on port `4000`
+- mount a persistent Docker volume at `/mnt/db`
+- build the image from [`deployment/Dockerfile`](Dockerfile)
+
+## Build The E2E Client Image
+
+From the repository root:
+
+```sh
+docker build -t fuel-core-e2e-client -f deployment/e2e-client.Dockerfile .
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- These assets are intended for container-based local development and packaging.
+- Kubernetes manifests are not currently stored in this directory.
+- For operator-focused node setup guidance, see the Fuel node operator docs:
+  <https://docs.fuel.network/docs/node-operator/>
