Documentation / Operations Manual

DuckDB has an official Docker image, which supports both the arm64 (AArch64) and x86_64 (AMD64) architectures.

Usage

To use the DuckDB Docker image, run:

docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd):/workspace" -w /workspace duckdb/duckdb

To use the DuckDB UI with Docker, enable host networking.

This setting forwards all ports from the container, so exercise caution and avoid it in secure environments.

docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd):/workspace" -w /workspace --net host duckdb/duckdb

Then, launch the UI as follows:

CALL start_ui();

To enable host networking in Docker Desktop, follow the instructions on the Host network driver page.
