 Qlib provides a tool named `qrun` to run the whole workflow automatically (including building dataset, training models, backtest and evaluation). You can start an auto quant research workflow and have a graphical reports analysis according to the following steps:

+
+==================
+Build Docker Image
+==================
+
+Dockerfile
+==========
+
+There is a **Dockerfile** file in the root directory of the project from which you can build the docker image. There are two build methods in Dockerfile to choose from.
+When executing the build command, use the ``--build-arg`` parameter to control the image version. The ``--build-arg`` parameter defaults to ``yes``, which builds the ``stable`` version of the qlib image.
+
+1.For the ``stable`` version, use ``pip install pyqlib`` to build the qlib image.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    docker build --build-arg IS_STABLE=yes -t <image name> -f ./Dockerfile .
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    docker build -t <image name> -f ./Dockerfile .
+
+2. For the ``nightly`` version, use current source code to build the qlib image.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    docker build --build-arg IS_STABLE=no -t <image name> -f ./Dockerfile .
+
+Auto build of qlib images
+=========================
+
+1. There is a **build_docker_image.sh** file in the root directory of your project, which can be used to automatically build docker images and upload them to your docker hub repository(Optional, configuration required).
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    sh build_docker_image.sh
+    >>> Do you want to build the nightly version of the qlib image? (default is stable) (yes/no):
+    >>> Is it uploaded to docker hub? (default is no) (yes/no):
+
+2. If you want to upload the built image to your docker hub repository, you need to edit your **build_docker_image.sh** file first, fill in ``docker_user`` in the file, and then execute this file.
+
+How to use qlib images
+======================
+1. Start a new Docker container
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    docker run -it --name <container name> -v <Mounted local directory>:/app <image name>
+
+2. At this point you are in the docker environment and can run the qlib scripts. An example:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    >>> python scripts/get_data.py qlib_data --name qlib_data_simple --target_dir ~/.qlib/qlib_data/cn_data --interval 1d --region cn
+    >>> python qlib/workflow/cli.py examples/benchmarks/LightGBM/workflow_config_lightgbm_Alpha158.yaml
+
+3. Exit the container
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    >>> exit
+
+4. Restart the container
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    docker start -i -a <container name>
+
+5. Stop the container
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    docker stop -i -a <container name>
+
+6. Delete the container
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    docker rm <container name>
+
+7. For more information on using docker see the `docker documentation <https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/>`_.
