+It needs to run privileged since we need to run the `mount` command inside it. You can run it without the `--privileged` path if you're not planning to mount the QC's file system and just want to compile something.
+
+The `mount` folder is optional. But it's an easy way to get files from to host inside the container and vice versa.

+Another way is to use `docker compose`. In the `docker-compose.yaml` file, all volumes are already defined. This means you only have to define the update file in the `environment` section.
+
+To use this first run the service in detached mode
+
+```
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+After that you can attach to the container using
+
+```
+docker compose exec cortex-dev /bin/bash
+```
+
 When attached to the docker container's shell, there is one post-install step left. Run the following command:
 
 ```
