# deploy containers

Monitor can deploy any docker images that it can access with the configured docker accounts.
It works by parsing the deployment configuration into a `docker run` command, which is then run on the target system.
The configuration is stored on MongoDB, and records of all actions (update config, deploy, stop, etc.) are stored as well.

Deployment configuration involves passing file / directory paths, for more details about passing file paths, see the [file paths doc](/docs/file-paths).

```mdx-code-block
import DocCardList from '@theme/DocCardList';
