More and more devices are also supporting Docker in their environments. This can greatly simplify the installation and upgrade of Remote.It. Our first implementation of Remote.It on Docker was based on the OpenWRT docker image with our Remote.It Device Package installed. This is called the "remoteit-agent". Our second implementation was a Docker Desktop Extension. Our Remote.It Docker Extension is based on the Alpine image and not only has the Remote.It Device Package installed, but it also has a node application that communicates with the Docker Daemon. Here is an illustration of an environment which has a Docker container with a web server, database, Redis, and Remote.It agent installed. ![](/files/Dta7c9pTDcVmfRU9c1gq) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.remote.it/software/docker.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
