 ### Reproducing the image
 
-For a simple way to reproduce a Dangerzone container image, either local or
-pushed to a container registry, you can checkout the commit this image was built
-from (you can find it from the image tag in its `g<commit>` portion), and run
-the following command in a Linux environment:
+For a simple way to reproduce a Dangerzone container image, you can checkout the
+commit this image was built from (you can find it from the image tag in its
+`g<commit>` portion), and run the following command in a Linux environment:
 
 ```
-./dev_scripts/reproduce.py <image>
+./dev_scripts/reproduce-image.py --source <image>
 ```
 
 This command will download the `diffoci` helper, build a container image from
 the current Git commit, and ensure that the built image matches the source one,
 with the exception of image names and file timestamps.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> If the source image is not pushed to a registry, and is local instead, you
+> can prefix it with `docker://` or `podman://` accordingly, so that `diffoci`
+> can load it from the local Docker / Podman container engine. For example:
+>
+> ```
+> ./dev_scripts/reproduce.py --source podman://dangerzone.rocks/dangerzone:0.8.0-125-g725ce3b
+> ```
