Mostly needs better alt text, but a few points require tidying up a bit as well.

| ### Prerequisites | ||
|
|
||
| Your server will need to be one of our AlmaLinux or Cloudlinux servers to operate Docker on Plesk. This can be seen in the System Overview panel on the right hand panel when you view the Websites and Domains page in Plesk. |

I think this whole prerequisite should go; the only options are AlmaLinux or CloudLinux, so we're just giving the customer extra (unnecessary!) work by asking them to check this

Obviously also remove the screenshot if we don't need them to check which OS they have 😉
| We also recommend that you read the [Plesk Documentation](https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/administrator-guide/plesk-administration/using-docker.75823/#setting-up-nginx-to-proxy-requests-from-domains-to-a-container) on the topic, although the below article will help you get setup using Docker on Plesk and if you run into any issues along the way, we have a [24/7 Helpdesk you can contact with your issues](https://help.layershift.com) | ||

| ## Installation |

This section needs revising on the basis that the Docker Extension is preinstalled on all (Layershift) servers now; so they just need instructions about how to find/open the extension, not how to install it.

Please make the alt text more descriptive and specific. For example:

Done.
The word tag was mentioned specifically since it a key technical word.

I think the key part here is to explain that the path on the left side is the VPS, and the path on the right side is where that gets mounted inside the container.
Perhaps something like this:
Volume mapping allows you to specify a persistent storage location for data used by your Docker Container. This data persists between redeploys of the container, whilst all other data within the container is ephemeral.
We recommend to store your docker volumes in a consistent path, such as within
/var/lib/docker/volumes. This is the location where that data will reside on your VPS.Therefore for our example Valkey container, we might use
/var/lib/docker/volumes/valkeycache.We mount that volume at
/var/lib/valkeyinside the container. This allows the container to read and write data in that location (but it cannot traverse above that path on the VPS).

and little more to mention the limit on being unable to escape the directory.

| ## License | ||
| Should you wish to manage multiple Docker servers from a single point, you will need to purchase the Remote Docker license. For more information please see the documentation or contact Support. |

I think including this kind of complicates life a bit more than necessary, but if we're stating it I think we can do so more clearly:
A paid license option is available to enable you to manage Docker containers hosted on multiple different servers from a single interface (please contact billing@layershift.com for assistance), but managing containers hosted locally by a single Layershift Managed VPS is included at no additional cost.

Small basic comment, I had made all the changes. Forgot to push commit before closing the windows and going to handle a ticket. If something seems like it should be there and it isnt. Please bare with me |
Not finished, re-doing my updates. If something is not there, it will be tomorrow.
