## Production
To use Docker in a production environment, you can run `lnd` by first creating
a Docker container, adding the appropriate command-line options as parameters.
To use Docker in a production environment, you can run `lnd` by creating a
Docker container, adding the appropriate command-line options as parameters.
You first need to build the `lnd` docker image:
```
$ docker create --name=lnd lightninglabs/lnd [command-line options]
$ docker build --tag=myrepository/lnd --build-arg checkout=v0.11.1-beta .
```
Then, just start the container:
It is recommended that you checkout the latest released tag.
You can continue by creating and running the container:
```
$ docker start lnd
$ docker run lnd [command-line options]
```
Note: there currently are no automated docker image builds available.
## Volumes

To choose a specific branch or tag instead, use the "checkout" build-arg. For example, to build the latest commits in master:
```
$ docker build . --build-arg checkout=v0.8.0-beta -t lnd:v0.8.0-beta
$ docker build . --build-arg checkout=v0.8.0-beta -t myrepository/lnd:v0.8.0-beta

To build the image using the most current tag:
```
$ docker build . --build-arg checkout=$(git describe --tags `git rev-list --tags --max-count=1`) -t lnd:latest-tag
$ docker build . --build-arg checkout=$(git describe --tags `git rev-list --tags --max-count=1`) -t myrepository/lnd:latest-tag
```
Once the image has been built and tagged locally, start the container:
```
docker run --name=lnd-testnet -it lnd:1.0 --bitcoin.active --bitcoin.testnet --bitcoin.node=neutrino --neutrino.connect=faucet.lightning.community
docker run --name=lnd-testnet -it myrepository/lnd:latest-tag --bitcoin.active --bitcoin.testnet --bitcoin.node=neutrino --neutrino.connect=faucet.lightning.community
