 ## What is a container?
 
 A container is a sandboxed process running on a host machine that is isolated from all other processes running on that host machine. That isolation leverages [kernel namespaces and cgroups](https://medium.com/@saschagrunert/demystifying-containers-part-i-kernel-space-2c53d6979504),

+title: Access a local folder from a container
+keywords: get started, quick start, intro, concepts
+description: Learn how to access a local folder from a container
+---
+
+This walkthrough shows you how to access a local folder from a container. To better understand some concepts in this walkthrough, complete the [Run multi-container applications](./multi-container-apps.md) walkthrough first.
+
+Docker isolates all content, code, and data in a container from your local filesystem. By default, containers can't access directories in your local filesystem.
+
+![Data isolation diagram](images/getting-started-isolation.webp?w=400)
+
+Sometimes, you may want to access a directory from your local filesystem. To do this, you can use bind mounts.
+
+Before you start, [get Docker Desktop](../../get-docker.md).
+
+## Step 1: Get the sample application
+
+If you have git, you can clone the repository for the sample application. Otherwise, you can download the sample application. Choose one of the following options.
+
+{{< tabs >}}
+{{< tab name="Clone with git" >}}
+
+Use the following command in a terminal to clone the sample application repository.
+
+```console
+$ git clone https://github.com/docker/bindmount-apps
+```
+
+{{< /tab >}}
+{{< tab name="Download" >}}
+
+Download the source and extract it.
+
+{{< button url="https://github.com/docker/bindmount-apps/archive/refs/heads/main.zip" text="Download the source" >}}
+
+{{< /tab >}}
+{{< /tabs >}}
+
+## Step 2: Add a bind mount using Compose
+
+Add a bind mount to access data on your system from a container. A bind mount lets you share a directory from your host's filesystem into the container.
+
+![Bind mount diagram](images/getting-started-bindmount.webp?w=400)
+
+To add a bind mount to this project, open the `compose.yaml` file in a code or text editor, and then uncomment the following lines.
+
+```yaml
+todo-app:
+    # ...
+    volumes:
+      - ./app:/usr/src/app
+      - /usr/src/app/node_modules
+
+```
+
+The `volumes` element tells Compose to mount the local folder `./app` to `/usr/src/app` in the container for the `todo-app` service. This particular bind mount overwrites the static contents of the `/usr/src/app` directory in the container and creates what is known as a development container. The second instruction, `/usr/src/app/node_modules`, prevents the bind mount from overwriting the container's `node_modules` directory to preserve the packages installed in the container.
+
+## Step 3: Run the application
+
+In a terminal, run the follow commands to bring up your application. Replace `/path/to/multi-container-app/` with the path to your applications directory.
+
+{{< include "open-terminal.md" >}}
+
+```console
+$ cd /path/to/multi-container-app/
+```
+```console
+$ docker compose up -d
+```
+
+## Step 4: Develop the application
+
+Now, you can take advantage of the container’s environment while you develop the application on your local system. Any changes you make to the application on your local system are reflected in the container. In your local directory, open `app/views/todos.ejs` in an code or text editor, update the `Enter your task` string, and save the file. Visit or refresh [localhost:3001](https://localhost:3001)⁠ to view the changes.
+
+## Summary
+
+In this walkthrough, you added a bind mount to access a local folder from a container. You can use this to develop faster without having to rebuild your container when updating your code.

+title: Containerize your application
+keywords: get started, quick start, intro, concepts
+description: Learn how to containerize your application.
+---
+
+When working with containers, you typically need to create a `Dockerfile` to define your image and a `compose.yaml` file to define how to run it.
+
+To help you create these files, Docker Desktop has the `docker init` command. Run this command in a terminal within your project folder. `docker init` creates all the required files to containerize your application. This walkthrough shows you how this works.
+
+Before you start, [get Docker Desktop](../../get-docker.md).
+
+## Step 1: Run the command to create Docker assets
+
+Choose one of your own applications that you would like to containerize, and in a terminal, run the following commands. Replace `/path/to/your/project/` with the directory containing your project.
+
+{{< include "open-terminal.md" >}}
+
+```console
+$ cd /path/to/your/project/
+```
+```console
+$ docker init
+```
+
+## Step 2: Follow the on-screen prompts
+
+`docker init` walks you through a few questions to configure your project with sensible defaults. Specify your answers and press `Enter`.
+
+## Step 3: Try to run your application
+
+Once you have answered all the questions, run the following commands in a terminal to run your project. Replace `/path/to/your/project/` with the directory containing your project.
+
+```console
+$ cd /path/to/your/project/
+```
+```console
+$ docker compose up
+```
+
+## Step 4: Update the Docker assets
+
+The `docker init` command tries its best to do the heavy lifting for you, but sometimes there's some assembly required. In this case, you can refer to the [Dockerfile reference⁠](/engine/reference/builder/) and [Compose file reference](/compose/compose-file/)⁠ to learn how to update the files created by `docker init`.
+
+## Summary
+
+In this walkthrough, you learned how to containerize your own application.

+description: Learn how to use Docker to run multi-container applications
+---
+
+If you've already completed the [How do I run a container?](./run-a-container.md) walkthrough, you learned that you must start each container individually. Imagine how great it would be if a tool could start multiple containers with a single command. That tool is Docker Compose.
+
+Before you start, [get Docker Desktop](../../get-docker.md).
+
+## Step 1: Get the sample application
+
+If you have git, you can clone the repository for the sample application. Otherwise, you can download the sample application. Choose one of the following options.
+
+{{< tabs >}}
+{{< tab name="Clone with git" >}}
+
+Use the following command in a terminal to clone the sample application repository.
+
+```console
+$ git clone https://github.com/docker/multi-container-app
+```
+
+{{< /tab >}}
+{{< tab name="Download" >}}

+
+{{< button url="https://github.com/docker/multi-container-app/archive/refs/heads/main.zip" text="Download the source" >}}
+
+{{< /tab >}}
+{{< /tabs >}}
+
+The sample application is a simple todo application built using ExpressJS and Node.js. The application saves all todos in a MongoDB database. You don't need to know any of these technologies to continue with the walkthrough.
+
+![The sample app architecture](images/getting-started-multi-container.webp?w=400)
+
+## Step 2: Dig into the Compose file
+
+View the files of the sample application. Notice that it has a `compose.yaml` file. This file tells Docker how to run your application. Open the `compose.yaml` file in a code or text editor to view what it contains.
+
+![Viewing the Compose file](images/getting-started-compose.webp?w=400)
+
+## Step 3: Run the application
+
+To run the multi-container application, open a terminal and run the following commands. Replace `/path/to/multi-container-app/` with the path to your applications directory.
+
+{{< include "open-terminal.md" >}}
+
+```console
+$ cd /path/to/multi-container-app/
+```
+```console
+$ docker compose up -d
+```
+
+## Step 4: View the frontend and add todos
+
+In the **Containers** tab of Docker Desktop, you should now have an application stack with two containers running (the todo-app, and todo-database).
+
+To view the frontend:
+
+1. In Docker Desktop, expand the application stack in **Containers**.
+2. Select the link to port **3000** in the **Port(s)** column or open [https://localhost:3000](https://localhost:3000)⁠.
+
+Add some todo tasks in the frontend, and then open [https://localhost:3000](https://localhost:3000) in a new browser tab. Notice that the tasks are still visible.
+
+## Step 5: Develop in your containers
+
+When developing with Docker, you may need to automatically update and preview your running services as you edit and save your code. You can use Docker Compose Watch for this.
+
+To run Compose Watch and see the real-time changes:
+
+1. Open a terminal and run the following commands. Replace `/path/to/multi-container-app/` with the path to your applications directory.
+   ```console
+   $ cd /path/to/multi-container-app/
+   ```
+   ```console
+   $ docker compose watch
+   ```
+2. Open `app/views/todos.ejs` in a text or code editor, then change the text on line 18.
+3. Save the changes in `app/views/todos.ejs`.
+4. View your application at [https://localhost:3000](https://localhost:3000) to see the changes in real-time.
+
+## Step 6: Delete everything and start over
+
+Having your configuration stored in a Compose file has another advantage, you can easily delete everything and start over.
+
+To delete the application stack:
+
+1. Open the **Containers** tab of Docker Desktop
+2. Select the Delete icon next to your application stack.
+
+![Deleting the application stack](images/getting-started-delete-stack.webp?w=300&border=true)
+
+After you delete the application stack, follow the steps from [Step 3: Run the
+application](#step-3-run-the-application) to run the application again. Note
+that when you delete the containers and run them again, any todos that you
+created don't persist.
+
+## Summary
+
+In this walkthrough, you ran a multi-container application with Docker Compose. You also learned how to develop in containers and how to delete the application stack along with all of the data.

+description: Learn how to persist data between containers
+---
+
+This walkthrough shows you how to persist data between containers. To better understand some concepts in this walkthrough, complete the [Run multi-container applications](./multi-container-apps.md) walkthrough first.
+
+Docker isolates all content, code, and data in a container from your local filesystem. When you delete a container, Docker deletes all the content within that container.
+
+![Data isolation diagram](images/getting-started-isolation.webp?w=400)
+
+Sometimes, you may want to persist the data that a container generates. To do this, you can use volumes.
+
+Before you start, [get Docker Desktop](../../get-docker.md).
+
+## Step 1: Get the sample application
+
+If you have git, you can clone the repository for the sample application. Otherwise, you can download the sample application. Choose one of the following options.
+
+{{< tabs >}}
+{{< tab name="Clone with git" >}}
+
+Use the following command in a terminal to clone the sample application repository.
+
+```console
+$ git clone https://github.com/docker/multi-container-app
+```
+
+{{< /tab >}}
+{{< tab name="Download" >}}
+
+Download the source and extract it.
+
+{{< button url="https://github.com/docker/multi-container-app/archive/refs/heads/main.zip" text="Download the source" >}}
+
+{{< /tab >}}
+{{< /tabs >}}
+
+## Step 2: Add a volume to persist data
+
+To persist data after you delete a container, use a volume. A volume is a location in your local filesystem, automatically managed by Docker Desktop.
+
+![Volume diagram](images/getting-started-volume.webp?w=400)
+
+To add a volume to this project, open the `compose.yaml` file in a code or text editor, and then uncomment the following lines.
+
+```yaml
+todo-database:
+    # ...
+    volumes:
+      - database:/data/db
+
+# ...
+volumes:
+  database:
+```
+
+The `volumes` element that is nested under `todo-database` tells Compose to mount the volume named `database` to `/data/db` in the container for the todo-database service.
+
+The top-level `volumes` element defines and configures a volume named `database` that can be used by any of the services in the Compose file.
+
+## Step 3: Run the application
+
+To run the multi-container application, open a terminal and run the following commands. Replace `/path/to/multi-container-app/` with the path to your applications directory.
+
+{{< include "open-terminal.md" >}}
+
+```console
+$ cd /path/to/multi-container-app/
+```
+```console
+$ docker compose up -d
+```
+
+## Step 4: View the frontend and add todos
+
+In the **Containers** tab of Docker Desktop, you should now have an application stack with two containers running (the todo-app, and todo-database).
+
+To view the frontend and add todos:
+
+1. In Docker Desktop, expand the application stack in **Containers**.
+2. Select the link to port **3000** in the **Port(s)** column or open [https://localhost:3000](https://localhost:3000)⁠.
+3. Add some todo tasks in the frontend.
+
+## Step 5: Delete the application stack and run new containers
+
+Now, no matter how often you delete and recreate the containers, Docker Desktop persists your data and it's accessible to any container on your system by mounting the `database` volume. Docker Desktop looks for the `database` volume and creates it if it doesn't exist.
+
+To delete the application stack:
+
+1. Open the **Containers** tab of Docker Desktop
+2. Select the Delete icon next to your application stack.
+
+![Deleting the application stack](images/getting-started-delete-stack.webp?w=300&border=true)
+
+After you delete the application stack, follow the steps from [Step 3: Run the
+application](#step-3-run-the-application) to run the application again. Note
+that when you delete the containers and run them again, Docker Desktop persists any todos that you created.
+
+## Summary
+
+In this walkthrough, you persisted data between containers using a volume. You can use this to persist and share data among isolated and ephemeral containers.

+---
+
+A container is an isolated environment for your code. This means that a
+container has no knowledge of your operating system, or your files. It runs on
+the environment provided to you by Docker Desktop. Containers have everything
+that your code needs in order to run, down to a base operating system. You can
+use Docker Desktop to manage and explore your containers.
+
+In this walkthrough, you'll view and explore an actual container in Docker
+Desktop.
+
+Before you start, [get Docker Desktop](../../get-docker.md).
+
+## Step 1: Set up the walkthrough
+
+The first thing you need is a running container. Use the following instructions to run a container.
+
+1. Open Docker Desktop and select the search.
+2. Specify `docker/welcome-to-docker` in the search and then select **Run**.
+3. Expand the **Optional settings**.
+4. In **Container name**, specify `welcome-to-docker`.
+5. In **Host port**, specify `8088`.
+   ![Specifying host port 8088](images/getting-started-setup.webp?w=250&border=true)
+6. Select **Run**.
+
+## Step 2: View containers on Docker Desktop
+
+You just ran a container! You can view it in the **Containers** tab of Docker
+Desktop. This container runs a simple web server that displays a simple website.
+When working with more complex projects, you'll run different parts in different
+containers. For example, a different container for the frontend, backend, and
+database. In this walkthrough, you only have a simple frontend container.
+
+![Docker Desktop with get-started container running](images/getting-started-container.webp?w=400)
+
+## Step 3: View the frontend
+
+The frontend is accessible on port 8088 of your local host. Select the link in
+the **Port(s)** column of your container, or visit
+[http://localhost:8088](http://localhost:8088) in your browser to view it.
+
+![Accessing container frontend from Docker Desktop](images/getting-started-frontend.webp?w=300&border=true)
+
+## Step 4: Explore your container
+
+Docker Desktop lets you easily view and interact with different aspects of your
+container. Try it out yourself. Select your container and then select **Files**
+to explore your container's isolated file system.
+
+![Viewing container details in Docker Desktop](images/getting-started-explore-container.webp?w=300&border=true)
+
+## Step 5: Stop your container
+
+The `welcome-to-docker` container continues to run until you stop it. To stop
+the container in Docker Desktop, go to the **Containers** tab and select the
+**Stop** icon in the **Actions** column of your container.
+

+
+## Summary
+
+In this walkthrough, you ran a pre-made image and explored a container. In addition to running pre-made images, you can build and run your own application as container.
