# Docker Quick Start
> Note: This guide requires Docker version 17.09.0 or greater. Refer to the
> [Docker documentation][docker] for how to install it.
This guide will help you quickly get started running Docker containers using
gVisor.
First, follow the [Installation guide][install].
If you use the `apt` repository or the `automated` install, then you can skip
the next section and proceed straight to running a container.
## Configuring Docker
First you will need to configure Docker to use `runsc` by adding a runtime entry
to your Docker configuration (e.g. `/etc/docker/daemon.json`). The easiest way
to this is via the `runsc install` command. This will install a docker runtime
named "runsc" by default.
```bash
sudo runsc install
```
You may also wish to install a runtime entry for debugging. The `runsc install`
command can accept options that will be passed to the runtime when it is invoked
by Docker.
```bash
sudo runsc install --runtime runsc-debug -- \
--debug \
--debug-log=/tmp/runsc-debug.log \
--strace \
--log-packets
```
You must restart the Docker daemon after installing the runtime. Typically this
is done via `systemd`:
```bash
sudo systemctl restart docker
```
## Running a container
Now run your container using the `runsc` runtime:
```bash
docker run --runtime=runsc --rm hello-world
```
You can also run a terminal to explore the container.
```bash
docker run --runtime=runsc --rm -it ubuntu /bin/bash
```
Many docker options are compatible with gVisor, try them out. Here is an
example:
```bash
docker run --runtime=runsc --rm --link backend:database -v ~/bin:/tools:ro -p 8080:80 --cpus=0.5 -it busybox telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
```
## Verify the runtime
You can verify that you are running in gVisor using the `dmesg` command.
```text
$ docker run --runtime=runsc -it ubuntu dmesg
[ 0.000000] Starting gVisor...
[ 0.354495] Daemonizing children...
[ 0.564053] Constructing home...
[ 0.976710] Preparing for the zombie uprising...
[ 1.299083] Creating process schedule...
[ 1.479987] Committing treasure map to memory...
[ 1.704109] Searching for socket adapter...
[ 1.748935] Generating random numbers by fair dice roll...
[ 2.059747] Digging up root...
[ 2.259327] Checking naughty and nice process list...
[ 2.610538] Rewriting operating system in Javascript...
[ 2.613217] Ready!
```
Note that this is easily replicated by an attacker so applications should never
use `dmesg` to verify the runtime in a security sensitive context.
