# Photon on Docker To create a Docker container image we need a Dockerfile that describes the base image and packages to be installed on the image. A Dockerfile lets you define and then create an image that can then be used to create container instances. A Photon Dockerfile is located at following location: ```$HOME/workspace/photon/support/dockerfiles/photon``` ## Build new Photon Images To build new images you should have built all Photon RPMS using ```make all``` or ```make iso```. Also, the docker service should be running in the background. The ```./make-docker-image.sh``` command takes the path of the local repo and the type of image (i.e. minimal, micro or full) you want to create. ```cd $HOME/workspace/photon/support/dockerfiles/photon``` ```./make-docker-image.sh $HOME/workspace minimal``` ## Running the Photon Container ```docker run -it photon:minimal```
