# Run AzerothCore with Docker
*This readme it's a summary of the AzerothCore docker features.*
Docker. is a software that performs operating-system-level virtualization, allowing to wrap and launch applications inside containers.
Thanks to Docker, you can quickly setup and run AzerothCore in any operating system.
The **only** requirement is having [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/) installed into your system. Forget about installing mysql, visual studio, cmake, etc...
### Installation instructions
To install and AzerothCore using Docker, you have two options
#### Option A. Using Docker Compose (very easy - recommended)
- Check the [Install with Docker](https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk/wiki/install-with-Docker) guide.
#### Option B. Build and start each container manually (longer - not recommended)
You have to follow these steps (**respecting the order**):
1) Create a Docker Network: `docker network create ac-network`. All your docker containers will use it to communicate to each other.
2) Launch one instance of the [AzerothCore Dockerized Database](https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk/tree/master/docker/database)
3) Create an image of the [AzerothCore Dockerized Build](https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk/tree/master/docker/build)
4) Launch one instance of the [AzerothCore Dockerized Authserver](https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk/tree/master/docker/authserver)
5) Launch one instance of the [AzerothCore Dockerized Worldserver](https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk/tree/master/docker/worldserver)
### Memory usage
The total amount of RAM when running all AzerothCore docker containers is **less than 2 GB**.
### Docker containers vs Virtual machines
Usind Docker will have the same benefits as using virtual machines, but with much less overhead:
