# Gamma server under the hood

Gamma server runs under the hood on [Docker](https://www.docker.com/). Docker is a platform that performs operating-system-level virtualization, also known as "containerization".

## Docker image for Gamma

You can print docker images that are available on your machine using the docker CLI

```
docker images
```

If you've installed Gamma CLI successfully, you should see among the results something similar to

```
REPOSITORY          TAG                      IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
orbsnetwork/gamma   v0.8.0                   61057f923f89        2 weeks ago         426MB
```

Gamma CLI downloads this image automatically from [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/) with `docker pull`

## Running the docker image

When Gamma CLI is starting Gamma server, under the hood it's running

```
docker run -d --name orbs-gamma-server orbsnetwork/gamma
```

When Gamma CLI stops Gamma server, under the hood it's running

```
docker stop orbs-gamma-server
docker rm -f orbs-gamma-server
```

You can check if a docker container is currently running with

```
docker ps
```

And if it is, you can examine the logs of the container with

```
docker logs -f orbs-gamma-server
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.orbs.network/v2-contract-sdk/gamma-in-depth/gamma-server-under-the-hood.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
