> 
> I’m running ScyllaDB in Docker using the image `scylladb/scylla:5.4.3`, and I want to maximize performance by running the `scylladb_setup` script. Does this Docker image already handle performance optimizations, or are there additional tweaks needed?  
> Thanks!

> Ideally you would be running the Operator and simply running the performance tuning which makes it easier there, and keep using docker simply as a dev environment. Or just install scylla on the host OS instead
