* ### How do I boot a local image?



  To skip the download, rename your image to `boot.iso` and place it in an empty `/storage` folder.

  You can use a local file directly, and skip the download, by binding it in your compose file in this way:

  

  ```yaml

  volumes:

    - /home/user/example.iso:/storage/boot.iso

  ```



  Replace the example path `/home/user/example.iso` with the filename of the desired ISO file.
