title: Run Nwaku in a Docker Container
hide_table_of_contents: true
---
This guide provides detailed steps to build and run a `nwaku` node in a Docker container. If you prefer a pre-configured setup with a monitoring dashboard, see the [Run Nwaku with Docker Compose](/guides/nwaku/run-docker-compose) guide.
## Prerequisites
Ensure [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) is installed on your system using the appropriate instructions provided in the [Docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/).
## Get Docker image
The Nwaku Docker images are available on the Docker Hub public registry under the [statusteam/nim-waku](https://hub.docker.com/r/statusteam/nim-waku) repository. Please visit [statusteam/nim-waku/tags](https://hub.docker.com/r/statusteam/nim-waku/tags) for images of specific releases.
You can also build the Docker image locally:
```shell
# Clone the repository
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/waku-org/nwaku
cd nwaku
# Build docker image
make docker-image
```
## Run Docker container
Run `nwaku` in a new Docker container:
```shell
docker run [OPTIONS] [IMAGE] [ARG...]
```
- `OPTIONS` are your selected [Docker options](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/run/#options)
- `IMAGE` is the image and tag you pulled from the registry or built locally
- `ARG...` is the list of arguments for your [node configuration options](/guides/nwaku/config-options)
Run `nwaku` using the most typical configuration:
```shell
docker run -i -t -p 60000:60000 -p 9000:9000/udp statusteam/nim-waku:v0.20.0 \
--dns-discovery=true \
--dns-discovery-url=enrtree://ANEDLO25QVUGJOUTQFRYKWX6P4Z4GKVESBMHML7DZ6YK4LGS5FC5O@prod.wakuv2.nodes.status.im \
--discv5-discovery=true \
--rpc-address=0.0.0.0 \
--nat=extip:[YOUR PUBLIC IP] # or, if you are behind a nat: --nat=any
```
To find your public IP, use:
```shell
dig TXT +short o-o.myaddr.l.google.com @ns1.google.com | awk -F'"' '{ print $2}'
```
:::tip
We recommend using explicit port mappings (`-p`) when exposing ports accessible from outside the host (listening and discovery ports, API servers).

You have successfully built and started a `nwaku` node in a Docker container. Have a look at the [Node Configuration Examples](/guides/nwaku/configure-nwaku) guide to learn how to configure `nwaku` for different use cases.
