To use your own instance of Docker, start the "Docker" application in Labs Workbench. This will provide console access to your home directory.  You can docker build, tag, publish, and run all in your own isolated space.

Backing up your data

Important data should never be stored on the Labs Workbench environment. For disaster recovery purposes, user data is backed-up each night. However, this backup is intended for full-system disaster recovery, not individual user data recovery.

To download or backup copies of your own account data, please follow these steps:

• Open the File Manager application
