+  <p>
+    Welcome to this instance of Nixery, an ad-hoc container image registry that provides
+    packages from the <a href="https://nixos.org/nix">Nix</a> package manager.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+    You can pull container images from this registry
+    at <code><span class="registry-hostname">nixery.dev</span></code> by appending any
+    packages that you need in the URL, separated by slashes.
+  </p>
+
+  <noscript>
+    <p class="cheddar-callout cheddar-tip">
+      <strong>NOTE:</strong> When pulling from a private Nixery instance,
+      replace <code>nixery.dev</code> in the above examples with your registry address.
+    </p>
+  </noscript>
+
+  <h2><a href="#demo" aria-hidden="true" class="anchor" id="demo"></a>Demo</h2>
+
+  <noscript>
+    <p>
+      The interactive demo needs Javascript to run, but you can just read the Usage
+      instructions below instead

+
+  <h2><a href="#usage" aria-hidden="true" class="anchor" id="usage"></a>Usage</h2>
+
+  <p>
+    These usage examples assume that you use Docker, but should not be much different for
+    other OCI-compatible platforms.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+    Pull an image from this registry, separating each package you want included by a
+    slash:
+  </p>
+
+  <pre style="background-color:#f6f8fa;padding:16px;"><span style="color:#323232;">docker pull <span class="registry-hostname">nixery.dev</span>/shell/git/htop</span></pre>
+
+  <p>
+    This gives you an image with <code>git</code>, <code>htop</code> and an interactively
+    configured shell. You could run it like this:
+  </p>
+
+  <pre style="background-color:#f6f8fa;padding:16px;"><span style="color:#323232;">docker run -ti <span class="registry-hostname">nixery.dev</span>/shell/git/htop bash</span></pre>
+
+  <p>
+    Each path segment corresponds either to a key in the Nix package set, or a
+    meta-package that automatically expands to several other packages.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+    Meta-packages <strong>must</strong> be the first path component if they are used.
+    Currently there are only two meta-packages:
+  </p>
+
+  <ul>
+    <li>
+      <p>
+        <code>shell</code>, which provides a <code>bash</code>-shell with interactive
+        configuration and standard tools like <code>coreutils</code></p>
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      <p><code>arm64</code>, which provides ARM64 binaries</p>
+    </li>
+  </ul>

+    How does this work?
+  </h3>
+
+  <p>
+    The short version is that we use the Nix package manager and an optimised
+    <a href="https://tazj.in/blog/nixery-layers">layering strategy</a>.

+    Should I depend on <code>nixery.dev</code> in production?
+  </h3>
+
+  <p>
+    While we appreciate the enthusiasm, if you would like to use Nixery in your production
+    project we recommend setting up a private instance. The public Nixery
+    at <code>nixery.dev</code> is run on a best-effort basis and we make no guarantees
+    about availability.

+    Who made this?
+  </h3>
+
+  <p>
+    Nixery was written by <a href="https://tazj.in">tazjin</a>, originally at Google.
+    These days Nixery is maintained by <a href="https://tvl.su">TVL</a>.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    Nixery would not be possible without the many people that have contributed to Nix and
+    nixpkgs over time, maybe you could become one of them?
