# Signing on to the administrative console (Docker deployment)

## About this task

When using Docker containers, the containers must be on the same Docker network to communicate properly.

## Steps

1. Start the PingDataConsole.

   The following command uses the `~/.pingidentity/config` environment file to configure common environment variables. See [Get Started](https://devops.pingidentity.com/get-started/introduction/).

   ```shell
   docker run \
      --env-file ~/.pingidentity/config \
      --name pingdataconsole \
      --detach \
      --publish 5443:8443 \
      --tmpfs /run/secrets \
      pingidentity/pingdataconsole:<TAG>
   ```

   The Docker image *\<TAG>* used in the example is only a placeholder. For actual tag values, see Docker Hub (<https://hub.docker.com/r/pingidentity/pingdataconsole>).

2. Sign on using the information in the following table.
