Overview
This guide contains step-by-step instructions on how to get started with Kleene.
The examples in this guide were run on FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE. Some of the things you'll learn and do in this guide are:
- Building images and the image development workflow.
- Deploy applications using containers in both single- and multi-container setups.
- Using volumes for persisting data across containers.
- Using networks for inter-container communication.
Note that this guide follows Docker's Getting started guide closely, so if you have previous experience with Docker, comparing the two guides gives a hands-on example on the some of ways Kleene differs from 'classical' container management.
In short: a container is an isolated instance of an image, and an image is a filesystem plus the configuration needed to run an application. See What is Kleene? for the concepts, or dive straight in.

In the next section, you'll containerize your first application.
