+# Docker Build System for Palladium Core
+
+Docker-based build system for creating Palladium Core binaries.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+cd docker-build
+chmod +x build-linux-x86_64.sh
+./build-linux-x86_64.sh
+```
+
+Binaries will be available in the `out/` directory.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker installed and running
+
+## Produced Binaries
+
+- `palladiumd`: Main daemon
+- `palladium-cli`: Command-line client
+- `palladium-tx`: Transaction utility
+- `palladium-wallet`: Wallet utility
+- `palladium-qt`: GUI (if available)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Permission errors:** Use `sudo ./build-linux-x86_64.sh`
+
+**Build failed:** Run interactive container for debugging:
+```bash
+docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd)":/src palladium-builder:ubuntu20.04 bash
+```
