-## Initialize Validator Node
+## Docker container
+
+There are different commands to initialize a validator and to run a validator node.
+See "Docker" section in corresponding chapters.
+It is important to mount a host directory (`~/.laconicd` in this documentation) to `/root/.laconicd` directory inside the container, so all blockchain data, configuration and keys persist between container restarts.
+For running a validator node it is also required to publish container's port 26656 and (optionally) 26660 to the host.

 **Not required if you have already initialized before**

-**Required for `laconic_81337-4`**

-# Stop your node (in case it was still running)
