Docker containerization is used to segregate various services required by this application.
To begin, docker can be installed on the host machine using the following approaches:

**Legacy Windows:**
The `virtualbox <https://www.virtualbox.org/>`_ hypervisor needs to be installed, to facilitate
the installation, and configuration of docker, for systems that do not meet `Windows <https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/>`_
minimal system requirements:

- `docker toolbox <https://docs.docker.com/toolbox/toolbox_install_windows/>`_

**Community Edition**

- `windows <https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/#download-docker-for-windows>`_
- `ubuntu <https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/>`_
- `centos <https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/centos/>`_
- `mac <https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/install/>`_
