# Dynare Docker Containers We provide a range of pre-configured Docker containers for Dynare on [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/dynare/dynare), which include both Octave and MATLAB (pre-configured with Dynare already in the PATH) and all recommended toolboxes. These containers are ideal for using Dynare in CI/CD environments ([example Workflow for GitHub Actions](https://github.com/wmutschl/DSGE_mod/tree/master/.github/workflows)) or High Performance Computing clusters with either [Docker, ENROOT or Singularity](https://wiki.bwhpc.de/e/BwUniCluster2.0/Containers), see also this [post](https://forum.dynare.org/t/compiling-and-running-dynare-on-a-linux-cluster-running-centos-or-rhel/18039/7). To minimize maintenance efforts while ensuring high levels of security, reliability, and performance, our Docker containers are built from the official [MATLAB container base image](https://hub.docker.com/r/mathworks/matlab) using a custom [Dockerfile](https://git.dynare.org/Dynare/dynare/-/blob/master/docker/Dockerfile). Additionally, we provide an example [docker-compose file](https://git.dynare.org/Dynare/dynare/-/blob/master/docker/docker-compose.yml) for complete access to the Ubuntu Desktop via VNC. More information and instructions for customizations are available [here](https://git.dynare.org/Dynare/dynare/-/tree/master/docker). ## Supported tags | Tags | Dynare Version | MATLAB® Version | Octave Version | Operating System | Base Image | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | latest | 5.4 | R2023a | 5.2.0 | Ubuntu 20.04 | mathworks/matlab:R2023a | | 5.4 | 5.4 | R2023a | 5.2.0 | Ubuntu 20.04 | mathworks/matlab:R2023a | | 5.3 | 5.3 | R2022b | 5.2.0 | Ubuntu 20.04 | mathworks/matlab:R2022b | | 5.2 | 5.2 | R2022a | 5.2.0 | Ubuntu 20.04 | mathworks/matlab:R2022a | | 5.1 | 5.1 | R2022a | 5.2.0 | Ubuntu 20.04 | mathworks/matlab:R2022a | | 5.0 | 5.0 | R2021b | 5.2.0 | Ubuntu 20.04 | mathworks/matlab:R2021b | | 4.6.4 | 4.6.4 | R2021a | 5.2.0 | Ubuntu 20.04 | mathworks/matlab:R2021a | ## Issues Please use this thread to raise issues or problems you have with the containers. ---

It is amazing that you have produced pre-configured Docker images for Dynare, thank you so much! At the moment I am trying to run Dynare from these images, but when I give the command “docker run…” I am being told that “The license file specified does not exist”. This is really strange, as I have an individual academic license file with which I run MATLAB on my 2 laptops, and there everything works fine. I have checked both for dynare 5.4 version and for the latest version, and this issue exists for both images. I would grateful if you could help me to figure out how I can use these images. ---

> [@cvdk1983](#): > > The license file specified does not exist Could you post your complete docker run command? This sounds like you entered the wrong path… An example call with a personal license is given [here](https://git.dynare.org/Dynare/dynare/-/tree/master/docker#personal-license). ---

Thank you for your response, I have also emailed MatLab and it seems I have indeed given the wrong path. I am going to see whether I can get access now and come back if it still does not work.
