 Note that Docker images may contain device nodes. BuildStream elements cannot
 contain device nodes so those will be dropped. Any regular files in the /dev
 directory will also be dropped.

+Reporting `SourceInfo 
<https://docs.buildstream.build/master/buildstream.source.html#buildstream.source.SourceInfo>`_
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The docker source reports the URL of the docker registry as the *url*.
+
+Further, the docker source reports the ``SourceInfoMedium.OCI_IMAGE`` *medium* 
and
+the ``SourceVersionType.DIGEST`` *version_type*, for which it reports the 
content
+digest of the docker image as the *version*.
+
+Additionally, the docker source reports the docker image name through
+the ``image-name`` key of the *extra_data*.
+
+As such, after removing the scheme from the URL (i.e. remove ``https://``) the 
same docker
+image can be obtained by calling:
+
+.. code:: bash
+
+   docker pull <url-without-scheme>/<image-name>@<version>

Review Comment:
   > I'm just pointing out that this split between the registry url and the 
image name is a peculiarity in the buildstream plugin, and that no other 
implementation I know of presents the split in this way.
   
   This is not a peculiarity in *this plugin*. *This plugin* is normally 
configured by providing the registry URL and the image name separately, and 
frankly this *makes sense*.
