 There are many ways to start docker containers. A simple setup that we use is to have a shared directory between the container and the host machine where you are running docker, and forward port 7500 from the host machine to the ssh port (22) in the container. The following command will accomplish this.
 <code>
-$ docker run -d -p 7500:22 -v /path/to/directory:/share async
+$ docker run -d -p 7500:22 -v /path/to/directory:/share cadtools
 </code>
 The ''/share'' directory in the container will correspond to the specified path on the host.

 Note that once the container is setup, you don't need to re-do those steps. You can simply pause the container to stop it, and resume it when you want to re-connect to it via ssh.
+===== Updating the container with the latest tools =====
+The container is not updated as frequently as the git repositories. To update the tools from within the container, use the following steps, running as ''root'':
+<code>
+$ cd /home/cad/actflow
+$ git pull
+$ git submodule update --init --recursive
+$ export ACT_HOME=/usr/local/cad
+$ ./build
+</code>
+The git repository for the [[:install_actflow|actflow]] repository is checked out in ''/home/cad/actflow''. The steps outlined above pull the latest code and build and install the tools into ''/usr/local/cad'' (the default location in the container).
