+Dockers default bridge networking does not support multi-node deployments. Use `--network host` so each container can communicate directly with other nodes.
+
+Run the following on **each node**

 ## Summary
 
-This article combines RustFS single-node single-disk containerization best practices, demonstrating in detail how to build RustFS images through Docker and deploy SNSD environments.
-This solution is easy to quickly start and experiment with, and can later be extended to multi-node multi-disk production-level clusters on platforms like Kubernetes, Swarm, etc. using the same approach.
+This article explains how to deploy RustFS using Docker with best practices, starting with a single-node single-disk (SNSD) setup and then extending to a multi-node deployment option.
