IDOL 12.13

# Introduction

Docker is a platform that allows you to run and use containers, which are packages that contain pre-installed and configured software. Containers provide convenient building blocks to allow you to create complex systems more easily.

The IDOL Docker containers allow you to quickly set up a simple IDOL installation, without having to manually install or configure the IDOL components.

NOTE: This chapter assumes that you have installed and set up the Docker platform in your environment. It does not provide general information about how to use Docker.

For more information about Docker, refer to the Docker documentation: https://docs.docker.com/.

The Micro Focus IDOL containers each provide a single IDOL component, with a standard configuration. Micro Focus also provides several Docker Compose files to allow you to link these containers together in simple, standard systems. You can use these containers and Compose files as a starting point for building your own containerized IDOL system.
