+
+# Getting Started with Docker and Traefik
+
+Docker is a first-class citizen in Traefik, offering native support for Docker containers and services. 
+Whether you're using Docker Compose or running containers directly, Traefik provides a seamless experience for managing your Docker traffic.
+
+This guide shows you how to:
+
+- Install Traefik using Docker
+- Expose the Traefik dashboard
+- Deploy a sample application
+- Configure basic routing
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker 
+- Docker Compose (optional)
+
+## Install Traefik
+
+### Using Docker Compose
+
+Create a Docker Compose file. 
+This configuration:
+
+- Exposes ports 80 and 8080. 
+- Enables the Docker provider
+- Configures the dashboard with basic settings. Port 8080 serves the dashboard because we enabled `--api.insecure=true` (development use only)
+- Mounts the Docker socket for container discovery
+
+```yaml
+# docker-compose.yml
+services:
+  traefik:
+    image: traefik:v3.4
+    command:
+      - "--api.insecure=true"
+      - "--providers.docker=true"
+      - "--entrypoints.web.address=:80"
+    ports:
+      - "80:80"
+      - "8080:8080"
+    volumes:
+      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
+```
+
+Start Traefik:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+### Using Docker CLI
+
+Alternatively, you can run Traefik directly with Docker. 
+This command:
+
+- Exposes ports 80 and 8080 for web traffic and dashboard access
+- Mounts the configuration file and Docker socket
+- Uses the same configuration as the Docker Compose example
+
+Create a configuration file:
+
+```yaml
+# traefik.yml
+api:
+  insecure: true
+entryPoints:
+  web:
+    address: ":80"
+providers:
+  docker: {}
+```
+
+Start Traefik:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+  -p 80:80 \
+  -p 8080:8080 \
+  -v $PWD/traefik.yml:/etc/traefik/traefik.yml \
+  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
+  traefik:v3.4
+```
+
+## Expose the Dashboard
+
+Because we explicitly enabled insecure mode, the [dashboard](../reference/install-configuration/api-dashboard.md) is reachable on port 8080 without authentication. 
+**Do not enable this flag in production**.
+
+You can access the dashboard at:
+
+[http://localhost:8080/dashboard/](http://localhost:8080/dashboard/)
+

+
+## Deploy a Sample Application
+
+Create a whoami service:
+
+```yaml
+# whoami.yml
+services:
+  whoami:
+    image: traefik/whoami
+    labels:
+      - "traefik.http.routers.whoami.rule=Host(`whoami.localhost`)"
+```
+
+Apply the configuration:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose -f whoami.yml up -d
+```
+
+## Test Your Setup
+
+You can use the following curl command to verify that the application is correctly exposed:
+
+```bash
+curl http://whoami.localhost
+
+Hostname: 068c0a29a8b7
+IP: 127.0.0.1
+IP: ::1
+IP: 192.168.147.3
+RemoteAddr: 192.168.147.2:56006
+GET / HTTP/1.1
+Host: whoami.localhost
+User-Agent: curl/8.7.1
+Accept: */*
+Accept-Encoding: gzip
+X-Forwarded-For: 192.168.147.1
+X-Forwarded-Host: whoami.localhost
+X-Forwarded-Port: 80
+X-Forwarded-Proto: http
+X-Forwarded-Server: 9232cdd4fd6c
+X-Real-Ip: 192.168.147.1
+```
+
+You can also open [http://whoami.localhost](http://whoami.localhost) in a browser to test the application:
+
+![whoami application Screenshot](../assets/img/getting-started/whoami-localhost.png)
+
+If you navigate to the **HTTP Routers** section of the Traefik dashboard, you can see that the `whoami.localhost` route is managed by the Traefik Docker provider:
+
+![Traefik Dashboard HTTP Routers Section Screenshot](../assets/img/getting-started/docker-router.png)
+
+That's it! You've successfully deployed Traefik and configured routing in Docker.
