 The JupyterHub docker image can be started with the following command::
 
-    docker run -d --name jupyterhub jupyterhub/jupyterhub jupyterhub
+    docker run -d -p 8000:8000 --name jupyterhub jupyterhub/jupyterhub jupyterhub
 
 This command will create a container named ``jupyterhub`` that you can
 **stop and resume** with ``docker stop/start``.
