 For more information about using the experimental "rootless" image variants, see [docker-library/docker#174](https://github.com/docker-library/docker/pull/174).
 
+**Note:** just like the regular `dind` images, `--privileged` is required for Docker-in-Docker to function properly ([docker-library/docker#151](https://github.com/docker-library/docker/issues/151#issuecomment-483185972) & [docker-library/docker#281](https://github.com/docker-library/docker/issues/281#issuecomment-744766015)). For `19.03.x` rootless images, an argument of `--experimental` is required for `dockerd` ([docker/docker#40759](https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/40759)).

+Basic example usage:

+```console
+$ docker run -d --name some-docker --privileged docker:dind-rootless

 ## Where to Store Data
 
 Important note: There are several ways to store data used by applications that run in Docker containers. We encourage users of the `%%REPO%%` images to familiarize themselves with the options available, including:
