+### Run in Docker
+
+Install [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) first, then run the following command to start a single node development chain. This command will firstly comipile your code, then start a local dev netork.
+
+```bash
+./scripts/docker_run.sh
+```
+
+If you just want to run the compiled binary,
+
+```bash
+./scripts/docker_run.sh ./target/release/node-template --dev --ws-external
+```
+
+Other commands are similar. Let's try purge the local dev chain here:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/docker_run.sh ./target/release/node-template purge-chain --dev
+```
+
+You can also check whether the code is able to compile or not,
+
+```bash
+./scripts/docker_run.sh cargo check
+```

 ## Advanced: Generate Your Own Substrate Node Template
 
 A substrate node template is always based on a certain version of Substrate. You can inspect it by

docker-compose.yml

+version: "3.2"
+
+services:
+  dev:
+    container_name: node-template
+    image: parity/rust-builder:latest
+    working_dir: /var/www/node-template
+    ports:
+      - "9944:9944"
+    environment:
+      - CARGO_HOME=/var/www/node-template/.cargo
+    volumes:
+      - .:/var/www/node-template
+      - type: bind
+        source: ./.local
+        target: /root/.local
+    command: bash -c "cargo build --release && ./target/release/node-template --dev --ws-external"

scripts/docker_run.sh

+#!/usr/bin/env bash
