+## Running in Docker
+
+### Build the image
+
+```bash
+$ docker build -t vapor .
+```
+
+### Enter the iterative mode
+
+```bash
+$ docker run -it --net=host -v <vapor/data/directory/on/host/machine>:/root/.vapor vapor:latest
+```
+
+vapor data directory has three config files:
+
+- `config.toml`
+- `federation.json`
+- `node_key.txt`
+
+Then you can use bytomd and bytomcli following [Bytom Wiki](https://github.com/Bytom/bytom/wiki/Command-Line-Options).
+
+Use `exit` to exit Docker's iterative mode.
+
+### Daemon mode
+
+For example,
+
+```bash
+$ docker run -d --net=host -v <vapor/data/directory/on/host/machine>:/root/.vapor vapor:latest bytomd node --web.closed --auth.disable
+```
+
+__To list the running containners and check their container id, image, corresponding command, created time, status, name and ports being used:__
+
+```bash
+$ docker container ls
+```
+
+or
+
+```bash
+$ docker ps
+```
+
+__To execute a command inside a containner, for example:__
+
+```bash
+$ docker exec -it <containerId> bytomcli create-access-token <tokenId>
+```
+
+__To stop a running containner:__
+
+```bash
+$ docker stop <containerId>
+```
+
+__To remove a containner:__
+
+```bash
+$ docker rm <containerId>
+```
