 Running Tribler in Docker
 =========================
 
-In order to run Tribler in Docker, create a file called ``Dockerfile`` and fill it with these contents:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    # libtorrent-1.2.19 does not support python 3.11 yet
-    FROM python:3.10-slim
+In order to run Tribler from docker you only need a few steps.
+We assume you have ``docker`` installed.
 
-    RUN apt-get update \
-        && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends libsodium23=1.0.18-1 \
-        && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
+Currently, only running the (unstable!) ``latest`` release is supported.
 
-    # Then, install pip dependencies so that it can be cached and does not
-    # need to be built every time the source code changes.
-    # This reduces the docker build time.
-    COPY ./requirements-core.txt /app/tribler/core-requirements.txt
-    RUN pip3 install -r /app/tribler/core-requirements.txt
 
-    RUN useradd -ms /bin/bash user
+Preparation
+-----
 
-    # Create default state and download directories and set the permissions
-    RUN chown -R user:user /app
-    RUN mkdir /state /downloads && chown -R user:user /state /downloads
+Fetch the docker image:
 
-    # Copy the source code and set the working directory
-    COPY ./src /app/tribler/src/
-    WORKDIR /app/tribler/
+.. code-block::
 
-    # Set to -1 to use the default
-    ENV CORE_API_PORT=20100
-    ENV IPV8_PORT=7759
-    ENV TORRENT_PORT=-1
-    ENV DOWNLOAD_DIR=/downloads
-    ENV TSTATEDIR=/state
-    ENV HTTP_HOST=127.0.0.1
-    ENV HTTPS_HOST=127.0.0.1
+    docker pull ghcr.io/tribler/tribler:latest
 
-    VOLUME /state
-    VOLUME /downloads
+Running
+-----
 
-    USER user
+Choose a SECRET key for the background communication with Tribler.
+In the following example, we use the key ``changeme`` (don't use this yourself).
+To run the docker image:
 
-    CMD exec python3 /app/tribler/src/run_tribler_headless.py \
-        --ipv8=${IPV8_PORT} \
-        --libtorrent=${TORRENT_PORT} \
-        --restapi_http_host=${HTTP_HOST} \
-        --restapi_https_host=${HTTPS_HOST} \
-        "--statedir=${TSTATEDIR}" \
-        "--download_dir=${DOWNLOAD_DIR}"
+.. code-block::
 
+    docker run -e CORE_API_PORT=8085 -e CORE_API_KEY="changeme" --net="host" -v ~/.Tribler:/state -v ~/downloads/TriblerDownloads:/downloads ghcr.io/tribler/tribler:latest
 
-To build the docker image:
+You can then open Tribler in your web browser at the URL:
 
-.. code-block:: bash
+.. code-block::
 
-    docker build -t triblercore/triblercore:latest .
+    localhost:8085/ui/#/downloads/all?key=changeme
 
+Notes
+-----
 
-To run the built docker image:
+This script binds the local "state" directory (this is where Tribler puts its internal files) to ``~/.Tribler`` and your downloads directory (where your downloads end up) to ``~/downloads/TriblerDownloads``.
+You can change these directories if you want to.
 
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    docker run -p 20100:20100 --net="host" triblercore/triblercore:latest
-
-Note that by default, the REST API is bound to localhost inside the container so to
+If you're planning on manipulating Tribler's internal REST API, you can access it through ``http://localhost:8085/docs``.
+By default, the REST API is bound to localhost inside the container so to
 access the APIs, network needs to be set to host (--net="host").
 
-To use the local state directory and downloads directory, the volumes can be mounted:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    docker run -p 20100:20100 --net="host" -v ~/.Tribler:/state -v ~/downloads/TriblerDownloads:/downloads triblercore/triblercore:latest
-
-
-The REST APIs are now accessible at: http://localhost:20100/docs
-
-
-Docker Compose
---------------
-
-Tribler core can also be started using Docker Compose. For that, create a ``docker-compose.yml`` in the project root directory:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    version: "3.3"
-
-    services:
-      tribler-core:
-        image: triblercore/triblercore:latest
-        container_name: triblercore
-        build: .
-        volumes:
-          - "~/.Tribler:/state"
-          - "~/Downloads/TriblerDownloads:/downloads"
-        ports:
-          - "20100:20100"
-        environment:
-          - CORE_API_PORT=20100
-          - CORE_API_KEY=TEST
-          - TORRENT_PORT=7000
-          - TSTATEDIR=/state
-          - HTTP_HOST=0.0.0.0
-
-To run via docker compose:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    docker-compose up
-
-
-To run in detached mode:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    docker-compose up -d
-
-
-To stop Tribler:
+Stopping
+-----
 
-.. code-block:: bash
+To stop Tribler, you should get the container id of your process and then stop it.
+You can view all active docker containers using ``docker ps`` and you can stop a container id using ``docker stop``.
+For most UNIX systems, the following command will stop your Tribler Docker container:
 
-    docker-compose down
+.. code-block::
 
+    docker stop $(docker ps -aqf ancestor="ghcr.io/tribler/tribler:latest")
