# Docker
You can run the bot as well as its dependencies as a series of Docker containers. However, the manual setup is still recommended if you want more control over the bot.  
To start, install Docker on your system via the instructions here: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/#server

Once you've installed Docker, you should clone the esmBot repo:
```sh
cd ~
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/esmBot/esmBot
cd esmBot
```
Modify the `.env` file as described in step 7 of the manual setup. Make sure to change the `DB` option to this, however:
```
DB=postgresql://esmbot:verycoolpass100@postgres:5432/esmbot
```
You should then modify the `config/servers.json` file to change the IP addresses of the servers to match the Docker containers. Example:
```json
{
  "lava": [
    { "name": "localhost", "url": "localhost:2333", "auth": "youshallnotpass", "local": true }
  ],
  "image": [
    { "server": "api", "auth": "verycoolpass100", "tls": false }
  ]
}
```
Finally, start the bot by running `docker-compose up -d`.
