The "**Host system**" must run on Linux 5+. Tested on Debian 11, Ubuntu 21.04, and Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS.

MikoPBX can be run in Docker using two main methods. The first method involves running the container directly using a Docker command with the necessary parameters. The second method involves using Docker Compose, which simplifies managing multi-container applications and allows the entire configuration to be described in a yaml file, making the deployment and maintenance of the system more convenient.
