 Docker isn't a single piece of software, but rather several components packaged together. We are not going to go in-depth to all the components here, but there are a few basic ones you should have a working knowledge of. Docker isn't a single piece of software, but rather several components packaged together.

-The most basic way to launch containers from images is with the ''docker run'' command. This is fine if you are running a single stock container, but quickly becomes cumbersome as you start adding flags and more containers. You can make things easier by using [[https://docs.docker.com/compose/|Docker Compose]], which launches containers by reading the settings defined in [[https://docs.docker.com/compose/gettingstarted/#step-2-define-services-in-a-compose-file|preconfigured YAML files]].+The most basic way to launch a container from an image is with the ''docker run'' command.

 Finally there is [[https://hub.docker.com/|Docker Hub]], which is the biggest repository of Docker images. They are oftentimes distributed on other sites as well, such as GitHub. **//Be wary what images you choose to download, as many Docker images are not maintained very well, and are riddled with unpatched security exploits!//** Finally there is [[https://hub.docker.com/|Docker Hub]], which is the biggest repository of Docker images.
