Install on Docker

Ensuring Docker is installed
We will NOT help with issues related to Docker, installation of Docker or otherwise, only Bastion related issues. 
Commands are denoted by the `$` in front of the command, lines that don't begin with `$` are example and expected output.
Ensure docker is installed on the system you intend to run bastion on:
$ docker run hello-world
​
Hello from Docker
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
If you didn't get the output as per above, ensure Docker has been properly installed. 
Prerequisites
This guide was written with using Linux commands, and assumes you are using a Linux machine.
Create volumes for the Bastion data to sit on, this is to ensure that bastion can both start correctly and save configuration data, such as prefixes and any settings you set.
Database files:
$ docker volume create bastion_data
Configuration files:
$ mkdir bastion_settings
To stay on the safe side, to check your volume was created properly, run:
$ docker volume ls
DRIVER              VOLUME NAME
local               bastion_data
and check the output.
Preparation
Pull the Docker image:
$ docker pull joshj23/bastionbot
​
Using default tag: latest
latest: Pulling from joshj23/bastionbot
Digest: sha256:13db470f4a2de34fd76e27c14d307595754c87cd9c1ce41e7a346336df507a06
Status: Image is up to date for joshj23/bastionbot:latest
Download the credentials.yaml and the configurations.yaml files and put them in the bastion_settings folder you created earlier. (if you created the folder with a different name, adjust accordingly)
cd ~/bastion_settings && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheBastionBot/Bastion/stable/settings/configurations.example.yaml && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheBastionBot/Bastion/stable/settings/credentials.example.yaml && mv configurations.example.yaml configurations.yaml && mv credentials.example.yaml credentials.yaml && ls
Ensure the output looks similar to the output below, the two files listed at the end are an essential part when configuring Bastion
$ cd ~/bastion_settings && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheBastionBot/Bastion/stable/settings/configurations.example.yaml && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheBastionBot/Bastion/stable/settings/credentials.example.yaml && mv configurations.example.yaml configurations.yaml && mv credentials.example.yaml credentials.yaml && ls

Configuring Bastion
At this stage, we need to configure Bastion.
You will not have a settings folder, instead use the folder created earlier, with the credentials.yaml and configurations.yaml files.
Head over to the Configure Bastion page and once configured, head over to the Run on Docker page
