+## Docker
+
+Custom function may require [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) in order to build and bundle function's code. A deployment failing with `CustomFunctionProviderDockerError` error indicates that a custom function requires Docker but the Docker daemon was not found. In that case you need to provide a working Docker installation at runtime.
+
+### Personal sandboxes
+
+Ensure that Docker is installed on your computer and that Docker daemon is running. You can check if Docker daemon is running using the following command:
+```bash title="terminal" showLineNumbers={false}
+docker info
+```
+
+### Fullstack Git-based environments
+
+Amplify does not provide Docker daemon out of the box in branch deployments. However, you have an option to provide [your own image that meets Amplify requirements](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amplify/latest/userguide/custom-build-image.html) and includes a Docker installation.
+
+For example, the `aws/codebuild/amazonlinux-x86_64-standard:5.0` image ([see definition](https://github.com/aws/aws-codebuild-docker-images)) meets Amplify requirements and includes Docker installation.
