the following command:
@example
-guix pack -f docker guile emacs geiser
+guix pack -f docker -S /bin=bin guile guile-readline
@end example
@noindent
The result is a tarball that can be passed to the @command{docker load}
-command. See the
+command, followed by @code{docker run}:
+
+@example
+docker load < @var{file}
+docker run -ti guile-guile-readline /bin/guile
+@end example

+@noindent
+where @var{file} is the image returned by @var{guix pack}, and
+@code{guile-guile-readline} is its ``image tag''. See the
@uref{https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/load/, Docker
documentation} for more information.
