# Dockerized client

Unlike the Thin Client which you can download pre-configured from your dedicated instance, the [Dockerized Client](https://docs.meterian.io/the-client/the-meterian-client-dockerized) must be configured manually.

To ensure it runs a scan for your dedicated instance, prior to invocation ensure you set the following environment variables as such

<table><thead><tr><th width="211">Name</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>METERIAN_ENV</td><td>The subdomain of your site where your instance of Meterian runs (given the instance of Meterian running on <code>https://www.meterian.io</code> this would be set to <code>www</code>)</td></tr><tr><td>METRIAN_PROTO</td><td>The HTTP protocol of your site (when unset the default is <code>https</code>) (given the instance of Meterian running on <code>https://www.meterian.io</code> this would be set to <code>https</code>)</td></tr><tr><td>METRIAN_DOMAIN</td><td>The domain of your site (given the instance of Meterian running on <code>https://www.meterian.io</code> this would be set to <code>meterian.io</code>)</td></tr></tbody></table>

You can check that your client is correctly connecting to the dedicated instance executing the client with "--help", which will display the instance and the account it is connecting to.

```
$ export METERIAN_ENV=acme
$ export METERIAN_DOMAIN=meterian.uk
