### Troubleshoot a crashed container

If you try to start a container with an invalid configuration or command, you
can use Ask Gordon to troubleshoot the error. For example, try starting a
Postgres container without specifying a database password:

```console
$ docker run postgres
Error: Database is uninitialized and superuser password is not specified.
       You must specify POSTGRES_PASSWORD to a non-empty value for the
       superuser. For example, "-e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password" on "docker run".

       You may also use "POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust" to allow all
       connections without a password. This is *not* recommended.

       See PostgreSQL documentation about "trust":
       https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/auth-trust.html
```

In the **Containers** view in Docker Desktop, select the ✨ icon next to the
container's name, or inspect the container and open the **Ask Gordon** tab.

### Get help with running a container

If you want to run a specific image but you're not sure how, Gordon might be
able to help you get set up:

1. Pull an image from Docker Hub (for example, `postgres`).
2. Open the **Images** view in Docker Desktop and select the image.
3. Select the **Run** button.

In the **Run a new container** dialog, you should see a message about
**Ask Gordon**.

The linked text in the hint is a suggested prompt to start a conversation with
Ask Gordon.

### Improve a Dockerfile

Gordon can analyze your Dockerfile and suggest improvements. To have Gordon
evaluate your Dockerfile using the `docker ai` command:

1. Navigate to your project directory:

   ```console
   $ cd path/to/my/project
   ```

2. Use the `docker ai` command to rate your Dockerfile:

   ```console
   $ docker ai rate my Dockerfile
   ```

Gordon will analyze your Dockerfile and identify opportunities for improvement
across several dimensions:

- Build cache optimization
- Security
- Image size efficiency
- Best practices compliance
- Maintainability
- Reproducibility
- Portability
- Resource efficiency

## Disable Ask Gordon

### For individual users

If you've enabled Ask Gordon and you want to disable it again:

1. Open the **Settings** view in Docker Desktop.
2. Navigate to **Beta features**.
3. Clear the **Enable Docker AI** checkbox.

### For organizations

If you want to disable Ask Gordon for your entire Docker organization, using
[Settings
Management](/manuals/security/for-admins/hardened-desktop/settings-management/_index.md),
