# Running the Tines Tunnel on Docker

*[View on tines.com](https://www.tines.com/stories/docs/admin/tunnel/deploying-the-tunnel-on-docker-compose/)*

## Deploying Tunnel

The Tunnel container can be run with Docker using the example below or similarly with other container orchestration platforms.

```bash
docker run \
  --env TINES_TUNNEL_SECRET="secret" \
  tines/tines-tunnel:latest
```

The Tunnel service will utilize the routing and DNS services of the host it is deployed on.

## Using Tunnel

HTTP Requests can be sent through the Tunnel by utilizing the *"Use tunnel"* parameter in the configuration of a HTTP Request Action.

## Connectivity Requirements

The tunnel is built on [Cloudflare Tunnels](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-apps) and requires connectivity to Cloudflare to function. No inbound ports are required. See [Connectivity requirements](https://www.tines.com/stories/docs/connectivity-requirements/) for the firewall rules to allow.
