1. git clone https://github.com/strapi/strapi-docker && cd strapi-docker
2. Run using docker-compose up

Pull from Docker Hub

Then run image

Start a database (e.g. MongoDB)

docker run -e MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE=strapi \
           -v `pwd`/db/:/data/db \
           --name strapi-mongo \
           -d mongo

Start strapi

docker run -e APP_NAME=strapi-app \
           -e DATABASE_CLIENT=mongo \
           -e DATABASE_HOST=strapi-mongo \
           -e DATABASE_PORT=27017 \
           -e DATABASE_NAME=strapi \
           -v `pwd`/strapi-app:/usr/src/api/strapi-app \
           --link strapi-mongo:mongo \
           -p 1337:1337 \
           --name strapi -d strapi/strapi
