- Check the Install with Docker guide.
Option B. Build and start each container manually (longer - not recommended)
You have to follow these steps (respecting the order):

docker network create ac-network. All your docker containers will use it to communicate to each other. -
Launch one instance of the AzerothCore Dockerized Database
-
Build AzerothCore using AzerothCore Dockerized Build
-
Launch one instance of the AzerothCore Dockerized Authserver
-
Launch one instance of the AzerothCore Dockerized Worldserver
Memory usage
