This guide provides documentation for Wickr IO Integrations. If you're using AWS Wickr, see [AWS Wickr Administration Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/wickr/latest/adminguide/what-is-wickr.html).

# Step 2: Configure the host
<a name="configure-host"></a>

Complete the following procedure to configure the host.

1. Connect to your EC2 or host machine and create a directory for your Docker volume. For this example, we'll use a directory in the current user's home, `~/WickrIO`. This directory will mount inside the container at `/opt/WickrIO`.

   ```
   cd ~
   mkdir WickrIO
   ```

1. Make sure that the `~/WickrIO` directory or your chosen directory is shared with Docker. For more information, see [Sharing local files with containers](https://docs.docker.com/get-started/docker-concepts/running-containers/sharing-local-files/).

1. Pull the public Wickr IO Docker image:

   ```
   docker pull public.ecr.aws/x3s2s6k3/wickrio/bot-cloud:latest
   ```
**Note**  
If you have a Docker image saved in in .tar format, you must load it using the following command before starting the docker container:  
`docker load -i {{image-name}}.tar`  
Replace {{image-name}} with the actual file name of your Docker image.
