 This will generate the same configuration file as the legacy mode used, but
 will store it in `/data/homeserver.yaml` instead of a temporary location. You
 can then use it as shown above at [Running synapse](#running-synapse).
+
+## Building the image
+
+If you need to build the image from a Synapse checkout, use the following `docker
+ build` command from the repo's root:
+ 
+```
+docker build -t matrixdotorg/synapse -f docker/Dockerfile .
+```
+
+You can choose to build a different docker image by changing the value of the `-f` flag to
+point to another Dockerfile.
