 ### 3.1 Run the docker container
 
-The argument `/dev/vfio/` enables the Docker instance to access the VFIO device.
-
-The arguments `/dev/null, /tmp/kahawai_lcore.lock, and --ipc=host` and touch `/tmp/kahawai_lcore.lock` command are used for managing shared memory within IMTL, primarily for lcore management across multiple IMTL docker containers.
+#### 3.1.1 Run multiple docker container with SHM requirement
 
 ```bash
 touch /tmp/kahawai_lcore.lock
-docker run --privileged -it -v /dev/vfio/:/dev/vfio/ -v /dev/null:/dev/null -v /tmp/kahawai_lcore.lock:/tmp/kahawai_lcore.lock --ipc=host mtl:latest
+docker run -it \
+  --device /dev/vfio \
+  --cap-add SYS_NICE \
+  --cap-add IPC_LOCK \
+  --cap-add NET_ADMIN \
+  --cap-add SYS_TIME \
+  --cap-add NET_RAW \
+  -v /tmp/kahawai_lcore.lock:/tmp/kahawai_lcore.lock \
+  -v /dev/null:/dev/null \
+  --ipc=host \
+  mtl:latest
 ```
 
+Explanation of Docker arguments:
+
+| Argument | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| `--device /dev/vfio` | Access the VFIO device |
+| `--cap-add SYS_NICE` | For set_mempolicy |
+| `--cap-add IPC_LOCK` | For DMA mapping |
+| `--cap-add NET_ADMIN` | Optional, for kernel NIC configuration |
+| `--cap-add SYS_TIME` | Optional, for systime adjustment |
+| `--cap-add NET_RAW` | Optional, for AF_XDP socket |
+| `-v /tmp/kahawai_lcore.lock:/tmp/kahawai_lcore.lock` | For multiple instances lcore management |
+| `-v /dev/null:/dev/null` | For multiple instances lcore management |
+| `--ipc=host` | For multiple instances lcore management |
+
+#### 3.1.2 Run single docker container
+
 If you confirm that all IMTL processes will run within a single Docker container, you can disregard the settings related to shared memory. Simply execute the following command:
 
 ```bash
-docker run --privileged -it -v /dev/vfio/:/dev/vfio/  mtl:latest
+docker run -it \
+  --device /dev/vfio \
+  --cap-add SYS_NICE \
+  --cap-add IPC_LOCK \
+  --cap-add NET_ADMIN \
+  --cap-add SYS_TIME \
+  --cap-add NET_RAW \
+  mtl:latest
+```
+
+#### 3.1.3 Specify NIC devices for container
+
+If you only need to pass specific NICs to the container, you can use the following command to list the IOMMU group:
+
+```bash
+../script/nicctl.sh list all
+
+ID      PCI BDF         Driver          NUMA    IOMMU   IF Name
+0       0000:4b:01.0    vfio-pci        0       311     *
+1       0000:4b:01.1    vfio-pci        0       312     *
+```
+
+Then, you can specify the IOMMU group IDs to the `--device` argument:
+
+```bash
+docker run -it \
+  --device /dev/vfio/vfio \
+  --device /dev/vfio/311 \
+  --device /dev/vfio/312 \
+  --cap-add SYS_NICE \
+  --cap-add IPC_LOCK \
+  mtl:latest
+```
+
+### 3.1.4 Run with docker-compose
+
+Edit the `docker-compose.yml` file to specify the configuration.
+
+Run the service:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose run imtl
+# docker compose run imtl
 ```
