+# Running Zulip in Docker
+
+Zulip provides an {doc}`official Docker image <docker:index>` for
+deployments that prefer to run services in containers. We recommend
+using it only if your organization has a preference for deploying
+this way; the Docker image moderately increases the effort required
+to install, maintain, and upgrade a Zulip installation, compared with
+the [standard installer](install.md).
+
+The Docker image supports two runtimes:
+
+- **Docker Compose** for single-host deployments. See the {doc}`Docker
+Compose getting started guide <docker:how-to/compose-getting-started>`.
+- **Helm charts** for Kubernetes deployments. See the {doc}`Helm
+getting started guide <docker:how-to/helm-getting-started>`.
+
+Zulip's [backup tool](export-and-import.md#backups) supports
+migrating between Docker and a standard installation, so you can
+change your mind later.
+
+For configuration, secrets, networking, upgrades, and other
+operational topics, see the {doc}`Docker documentation
+<docker:index>` in full.
