Pull the container image from docker hub:

$ docker pull jnowakowski/neutrino-preloaded

Run container in background:

$ docker run -tdi --name lnd jnowakowski/neutrino-preloaded

Use LND CLI to check if synced with blockchain:

$ docker exec -it lnd lncli getinfo
{
    "identity_pubkey": "03498859d328b0b63a720e9a4263a9f388b2e85a421afe69960d985473cd604bb4",
    "alias": "03498859d328b0b63a72",
    "num_pending_channels": 0,
    "num_active_channels": 0,
    "num_peers": 0,
    "block_height": 1282220,
    "block_hash": "0000000000000b4852211aaffd94ff94723f566dc4aabe893fe6dd5e98ba219c",
    "synced_to_chain": false,
    "testnet": true,
    "chains": [
        "bitcoin"
    ],
    "uris": [
    ]
}

Check container logs:

$ docker logs -f lnd

Get a new address, when synchronised (lncli getinfo show "synced_to_chain": false):

$ docker exec -it lnd lncli newaddress np2wkh
{
    "address": "2MycQn1S8pj7k8m9RzmJVksQyxAWp1Uzb7y"
}
