# Operation on Docker

{% hint style="info" %}
The [Releases](https://github.com/Titannet-dao/titan-node/releases) section on our GitHub is the best place to get the latest binary releases and view the source code.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
**🚨Important Note🚨**

If you have participated in Herschel testnet earlier, you need to mannually clear previous node data. Otherwise the node will not be able to start. 🚨
{% endhint %}

```bash
rm -r ~/.titanedge
```

If you have never operated Titan node before, just follow the steps below.

## Step 1: Download the image

```
docker pull nezha123/titan-edge
```

## Step 2: Create your own storage volume

```
mkdir ~/.titanedge
```

<mark style="color:red;">`$storage`</mark> <mark style="color:red;"></mark><mark style="color:red;">is the storage path you want to configure.</mark>

## Step 3: Run the application

```
docker run --network=host -d -v ~/.titanedge:/root/.titanedge nezha123/titan-edge
```

## Step 4: [Bind the identification code](https://app.gitbook.com/o/asXLGZ9srI9ohwLLgXoB/s/6MWUoQBijnrc0tNWtAzG/~/changes/47/cassini-testnet/frequently-asked-questions/bind-the-identity-code)

```
docker run --rm -it -v ~/.titanedge:/root/.titanedge nezha123/titan-edge bind --hash=your-hash-here https://api-test1.container1.titannet.io/api/v2/device/binding
```

### Docker Tutorial: Impact and Handling of NAT Types When Running Docker on Machines with Public IP Addresses

#### Impact Description:

Operating Docker on machines with a public IP can result in a Nonat NAT type. This may hinder the capability to run multiple Docker instances. To mitigate this, consider the following steps.

#### Handling Methods:

#### 1. Removing Network Host Mode:

By default, using `--network=host` integrates the container directly with the host's network, leading to a Nonat NAT type. You can avoid this issue by removing this parameter, which restores the NAT type to its previous state.

#### 2. Modify Port Configuration:

To maintain use of a public IP, manually adjust the default port, changing it from 1234 to another suitable for your network setup.

#### Considerations:

* Before executing commands, ensure your network settings or port configurations are appropriately adjusted.&#x20;
* Post-adjustment, validate that the Docker container's performance aligns with expectations.
