+# docker-compose example
+
+## Introduction
+
+The example provided [docker-compose file](docker-compose.yml) allows for:
+* building the container,
+* running the container in `NFS v4` mode only (`NFS v3` is disabled) - see more
+  in the
+  [customize NFS versions](../advanced/nfs-versions.md#customize-nfs-versions-offered)
+
+Following stuff gets mounted into the container:
+
+* `nfs-export` directory:
+
+```
+nfs-export
+└── debian
+    ├── a
+    ├── b
+    ├── c
+    └── d
+```
+
+* `exports.txt` file:
+
+```
+/export         *(rw,fsid=0,no_subtree_check,sync)
+/export/debian  *(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,sync)
+```
+
+## Build
+
+In order to build the container:
+
+```
+docker-compose build
+```
+
+## Run
+
+In order to run the container:
+
+```
+docker-compose up
+```
+
+## Test
+
+Check if we can mount the directory:
+
+```
+sudo mount LOCAL_IP:/ /mnt -v
+```
+
+In the command output we can inspect which `NFS` version was used:
+
+```
+mount.nfs: timeout set for Thu Jan 31 16:16:20 2019
+mount.nfs: trying text-based options 'vers=4.2,addr=LOCAL_IP,clientaddr=LOCAL_IP'
+```
+
+Inspect mounted directory content:
+
+```
+/mnt
+└── debian
+    ├── a
+    ├── b
+    ├── c
+    └── d
+```
+
+## Possible issues
+
+In case of the:
+
+```
+nfs-server    | ==================================================================
+nfs-server    |       STARTING SERVICES ...
+nfs-server    | ==================================================================
