# DEPRECATED [DFBnc](https://github.com/ShaneMcC/DFBnc/) now provides docker images itself. Use the `shanemcc/dfbnc` image from Docker Hub for updates. ## Usage Create a named volume to persist data: ```bash docker volume create --name dfbnc-data ``` Pull the image for the desired version of DFBnc: ```bash docker pull csmith/dfbnc:0.4 ``` Start a container, exposing ports as needed: ```bash docker run -d --name dfbnc \ --restart always \ -p 33263:33263 \ -v dfbnc-data:/var/lib/dfbnc \ csmith/dfbnc:0.4 ``` The container exposes these ports: * 33262 (unencrypted IRC connection) * 33263 (encrypted IRC connection) To enable encrypted connections you will need to follow the instructions on the [DFBnc wiki](https://github.com/ShaneMcC/DFBnc/wiki/SSL-Listen-Hosts).
