# Installing using Docker

If you're already familiar with Docker, you are probably looking for our official Docker images over [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/strapi/strapi).

## Step 1: Create a `docker-compose.yaml` file

Create this `docker-compose.yaml` file in an empty folder. <br>
A fresh new Strapi application will be created where the `docker-compose.yaml` file is located.

This docker-compose defines our database and Strapi service and links them.
