+
+```hcl
+resource "docker_image" "main" {
+  name = "codercom/enterprise-redhat-ubi9"
+}
+
+resource "docker_container" "workspace" {
+  count = data.coder_workspace.me.start_count
+  image = docker_image.main.name
+  name  = "coder-${data.coder_workspace.me.owner}-${data.coder_workspace.me.name}"
+  
+  # Add your configuration here
+}
+```
+
+### Extending This Image
+
+Extend this image with additional tooling and language packages:
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM codercom/enterprise-redhat-ubi9
+
+# Install Go
+RUN curl -L "https://go.dev/dl/go1.24.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz" | tar -C /usr/local -xz
+ENV PATH=/usr/local/go/bin:$PATH
+
+# Install Node.js
+RUN curl -fsSL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | bash - && \
+    dnf install -y nodejs
+
+# Add your tools here
+```
+
+### Building Locally
+
+```bash
+# Build the image
+docker build -f ubi9.Dockerfile -t coder-redhat-ubi9 .
+
+# Run interactively
+docker run -it --rm coder-redhat-ubi9
+```
