start your docker node

#Non production sample
docker run \
  -it \
  -p 9933:9933 \
  -p 30333:30333 \
  -p 30334:30334 \
  -p 9615:9615 \

#Production sample
docker run \
  -it \
  -p 9933:9933 \
  -p 30333:30333 \
  -p 30334:30334 \
  -v host_path:/container_path \
  --restart=unless-stopped \
  --name your_container_name \
  mantanetwork/calamari:latest \
  --base-path /container_path/data \
  --keystore-path /container_path/keystore \
  --name your_collator_name \
  --rpc-cors all \
  --collator \
  --rpc-methods=safe \
  -- \
  --telemetry-url 'wss://api.telemetry.manta.systems/submit/ 0'

Examples of these name and paths:

host_path:/container_path => ~/my-calamari-db:/calamari

your_collator_name => Community-Collator-1

You may want to consider the following:

if using http (not configured for ssl with certbot) for metrics, add ports -p 9615:9615 -p 9616:9616
add auto restart to ensure start on system boot or reboot --restart=unless-stopped
remove unsafe-rpb-external when you are ready for production
change rpc-methods to safe when ready for production --rpc-methods=safe
additional Kusama configuration. at the end of your command stack, add -- to designate Kusama configuration, then add telemetry-url -- --telemetry-url 'wss://api.telemetry.manta.systems/submit/ 0'

Ensure you can see a line of log like this:
