## Docker

If you fancy Docker, you can also run the CLI within a container.

### Configure

Modify the `docker-compose.yml` and add volume.
``cli-data`` volume is mandatory, you can add more volumes for your export directory.

Build the docker image
```shell
docker build -t ente:latest .
```

Start the container in detached mode
```bash 
docker-compose up -d
```

`exec` into the container
```shell
docker-compose exec ente /bin/sh
```
  
    
#### Directly executing commands

```shell
docker run -it --rm ente:latest ls 
```
