+## Overview
+
+[Docker](http://docker.com) Is a platform full of applications, called containers. Containers are isolated solutions and thus they don't have to depend on your environment. Making them portable and consistent throughout development, testing and production.
+
+You can download, install, use and share applications in the form of containers. You can find all the available containers on the [hub.docker.com](hub.docker.com) page.
+
+In this tutorial we will go through the steps of how to install, run and remove the [Hello-World Container](https://hub.docker.com/_/hello-world)
+
+## Goals
+
+- List the installed and running containers
+- Install a container
+- Run a container manually
+- Uninstall a container
+
+### Required Hardware and Software
+
+- [Arduino Portenta X8](https://store.arduino.cc/products/portenta-x8)
+- USB-C cable (either USB-C to USB-A or USB-C to USB-C)
+- Wi-Fi Access Point with Internet Access
+- ADB or SSH. [Check how to connect to your Portenta X8](docs.arduino.cc/tutorials/portenta-x8/out-of-the-box#controlling-portenta-x8-through-the-terminal)
+
+## Using Docker
+
+The Docker CLI comes with your Portenta X8 by default, you can check if the tool is installed by typing:
+```
+docker -v
+```
+
+***To use this tool, first of all you will need to connect to your device, check [how to connect using adb/ssh](/tutorials/portenta-x8/out-of-the-box#controlling-portenta-x8-through-the-terminal).***
+
+You can check the Docker reference documentation, which covers all the features of the tool in depth at [https://docs.docker.com/](docs.docker.com).
+
+The following steps shows how to install, run and uninstall the "Hello World" container.
+
+### Install A Container
+
+You will need to find your Docker container, on its Docker hub page it will show you how to install the desired container.
+
+https://hub.docker.com/_/hello-world
+
+```
+docker pull hello-world
+```
+
+![Docker CLI pulling a container](assets/docker-pull.png)
+
+### Run The Installed Container
+
+```
+docker run hello-world
+```
+
+![Docker CLI running Hello World app](assets/docker-run.png)
+
+***To be able to see your container with `docker ps -a` you will need to run it at least once with `docker run`***
+
+### Listing The Installed Packages
+List the installed containers with the following command: 
+``` 
+docker ps -a
+```
+
+![Docker CLI listing all the installed containers](assets/docker-ps.png)
+
+Keep in mind that you will need to get the `CONTAINER ID` to uninstall the container afterwards.
+
+If you didn't run your container you can also check if it's correctly installed by using:
+```
+docker images
+```
+
+![Docker CLI images](assets/docker-images.png)
+
+### Uninstall A Container
+
+First get the Container ID from the container list.
+
+Then use the remove (`rm`) command 
+```
+docker container rm <CONTAINER ID>
+```
+
+In this case we run `docker ps -a` and copy the `CONTAINER_ID` which in this case is `c44ba77b65cb`.
+
+***`CONTAINER_ID` changes its value every time you re-install them***
+
+![Docker CLI container uninstall](assets/docker-container-rm.png)
+
+If you run `docker images` again you will see that the container is not showing up anymore.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+In this tutorial you learned how to install a container onto your device, run it and manage it.
+
+### Next Steps
+
+- Now that you have the base of the workflow to use [Docker](https://docker.com), go to its docs page and make sure you understand all the features.
+- Look for a container from [Docker hub](http://hub.docker.com), install it and make your own application out of it.
+- Create a container to run your custom made application.
