+
+## Build Docker Image
+
+**Important Note for Releases 1.101.0 and Later:**
+Building the n8n Docker image now requires a pre-compiled n8n application.
+
+### Recommended Build Process:
+
+For the simplest approach that handles both n8n compilation and Docker image creation, run from the root directory:
 
 ```bash
-docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 --build-arg N8N_VERSION=<VERSION> -t n8n:<VERSION> .
+pnpm build:docker
-
-# For example:
-docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 --build-arg N8N_VERSION=1.30.1 -t n8n:1.30.1 .
 ```
 
+### Alternative Builders:
+
+If you are using a different build system that requires a separate build context, first compile the n8n application:
+
+```bash
+pnpm run build:deploy
+```
+
+Then, ensure your builder's context includes the `compiled` directory generated by this command.
+
+
 ## What does n8n mean and how do you pronounce it?
 
 **Short answer:** It means "nodemation" and it is pronounced as n-eight-n.
