 ### Using Docker
 
-The h_da thesis template ships with two Dockerfiles that create [Docker](https://www.docker.com) container used to compile the LaTeX code. One container - build by the [Dockerfile.travis]( https://github.com/mbredel/thesis-template/blob/master/Dockerfile.travis) Docker file - is used by the Travis-CI infrastructure to compile the thesis template and check its integrity at every commit. The other one - created by the [Dockerfile.local](https://github.com/mbredel/thesis-template/blob/master/Dockerfile.local) Docker file - might be used to build the Docker container that allows to compile the LaTeX code on your local machine without the need to install any LaTeX files.
