 # Deploy Using Containers
 
 If you just want to play and there is a compiled version available on the [Archipelago releases page](https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/releases), use that version.

 Running the container can be performed using:
-`docker run archipelago --network host`

 The Archipelago web host requires access to multiple ports in order to host game servers simultaneously. To simplify configuration for this purpose, specify `--network host`.

 ## Optional: Git
 
-[Git](https://git-scm.com) is required to install some of the packages that Archipelago depends on.
-It may be possible to run Archipelago from source without it, at your own risk.
-
-It is also generally recommended to have Git installed and understand how to use it, especially if you're thinking about contributing.
-
-You can download the latest release of Git at [The downloads page on the Git website](https://git-scm.com/downloads).
-
-Beyond that, there are also graphical interfaces for Git that make it more accessible.
-For repositories on Github (such as this one), [Github Desktop](https://desktop.github.com) is one such option.
-PyCharm has a built-in version control integration that supports Git.
+Building the image requires a local copy of the ArchipelagoMW source code.
