# Introduction
The Prowlarr team does not offer an official Docker image. However, a number of third parties have created and maintain their own.
These instructions provide generic guidance that should apply to any Prowlarr Docker image.

# 1 Avoid common pitfalls
Ownership and Permissions
Permissions and ownership of files is one of the most common problems for Prowlarr users, both inside and outside Docker. Most images have environment variables that can be used to override the default user, group and umask, you should decide this before setting up all of your containers. The recommendation is to use a common group for all related containers so that each container can use the shared group permissions to read and write files on the mounted volumes.
Keep in mind that Prowlarr will need read and write to the download folders as well as the final folders.
