**The article is a guide for setting up a full node for the Allora network on Ubuntu 20.04 using Docker. It includes detailed steps for installing Docker, Docker Compose, and pulling the Allora network repository. The guide also explains how to start the node and check logs to ensure the node is running and synchronizing correctly. Here are the key steps summarized:  
  
1.Install Docker and Docker Compose.**

    sudo apt-get update
    
    sudo apt-get upgrade
    
    sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common
    
    curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg
    
    echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
    
    sudo apt-get update
    
    sudo apt-get install docker-ce
    
    sudo systemctl start docker
    
    sudo systemctl enable docker
    
    docker --version

    sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest | grep -Po '"tag_name": "\K.*?(?=")')/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
    
    sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
    
    docker-compose --version

**2.Clone the Allora network repository.**

    git clone https://github.com/allora-network/allora-chain.git
    
    cd allora-chain
    
    docker-compose pull
    
    docker-compose up -d

**3.Monitor logs to verify successful synchronization.**

    docker-compose logs -f

it will take 2-10hrs to synchronization,just be patient  
  
if you want check it’s done or not

    curl -s http://localhost:26657/status | jq .
