# Step 5: Configure the Docker File

The Docker file is used to build the TIBCO MFT Platform Server for UNIX container.

## Procedure

- Configure the Docker file based on your requirements.
  The Docker file performs the following functions:
  - Installs Linux version and debugging tools.
  - Sets environment variables that can be overridden by the Docker build.
  - Creates MFT groups and users.
  - Copies the Platform Server distribution. If you are running as a non-root user, make sure the directories have the correct rights and attributes.
  - Defines the user that the container runs under.
  - Sets the Platform Server CFROOT environment variable and create the bash_profile file.

  For information related to these configurations, see TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for UNIX User's Guide.
