# Node
The Fluence protocol is implemented as the Fluence [reference node](https://github.com/fluencelabs/fluence) which includes the
* Peer-to-peer communication layer
* Marine interpreter
* Aqua VM
* Builtin services
and more.
Builtin services are available on every Fluence peer and can be programmatically accessed and composed using Aqua just like any other service. For a complete list of builtin services see the `builtin.aqua` file in the [Aqua Lib](https://github.com/fluencelabs/aqua-lib) repo. 
To find out how to create your own builtin service, see the [Add Your Own Builtins](tutorials\_tutorials/add-your-own-builtin.md) tutorial.
## Node distribution
All infrastructure-related information is kept in [fluencelabs/node-distro](https://github.com/fluencelabs/node-distro) repository on GitHub.
Node is distributed as a docker container [fluencelabs/fluence](https://hub.docker.com/r/fluencelabs/fluence). Version information can be found on the [releases page](https://github.com/fluencelabs/node-distro/releases) in GitHub.
It comes with IPFS, AquaDHT and TrustGraph bundled.
### How to run a node
Just a simple docker run:
```
docker run --rm -e RUST_LOG="info" -p 7777:7777 -p 9999:9999 fluencelabs/fluence
```
Or take a look at the [docker-compose.yml](https://github.com/fluencelabs/node-distro/blob/main/docker-compose.yml) in the node-distro repository. It starts node with a web dashboard to explore deployed services.
```
docker compose up -d
```
