 =========
 
 The Go code in this repo depends on a number of Go libraries.
-These are vendored in to the `src/cmd/linuxkit/vendor` directory using [`vndr`](https://github.com/lk4d4/vndr)
-The `vendor.conf` file contains a list of the repositories and the git SHA or branch name that should be vendored
+These are vendored in to the `src/cmd/linuxkit/vendor` directory using [go modules](https://golang.org/ref/mod)
 
 ## Updating dependencies
 
-Update `src/cmd/linuxkit/vendor.conf` with the dependency that you would like to add.
-Details of usage of the `vndr` tool and the format of `vendor.conf` can be found [here](https://github.com/LK4D4/vndr/blob/master/README.md)
+Go modules should install any required dependencies to `go.mod` and `go.sum` when running normal go commands such as `go build`,
+`go vet`, etc. To install specific versions, use `go get <dependency>@<reference>`.
 
-Once done, you must run the `vndr` tool to add the necessary files to the `vendor` directory.
-The easiest way to do this is in a container.
+See the [go modules](https://golang.org/ref/mod) documentation for more information.
+
+LinuxKit vendors all dependencies to make it completely self-contained. Once `go.mod` is up to date,
+you must update the dependencies, either using your local go toolchain or in a container.
+
+## Updating locally
+
+To vendor all dependencies:
+
+1. `cd src/cmd/linuxkit`
+1. Run `go mod vendor`
