What is Docker

Docker is an open platform for developers and sysadmins to build, ship, and run distributed applications. Consisting of Docker Engine, a portable, lightweight runtime and packaging tool, and Docker Hub, a cloud service for sharing applications and automating workflows, Docker enables apps to be quickly assembled from components and eliminates the friction between development, QA, and production environments. As a result, IT can ship faster and run the same app, unchanged, on laptops, data center VMs, and any cloud.

Docker Images

Base Tools

Tools and applications that are either installed inside containers or designed to be run as a sidecar

amicontained - Container introspection tool. Find out what container runtime is being used as well as features available by @genuinetools
Chaperone - A single PID1 process designed for docker containers. Does user management, log management, startup, zombie reaping, all in one small package. by @garywiz
ckron - A cron-style job scheduler for docker, by @nicomt
CoreOS - Linux for Massive Server Deployments
distroless - Language focused docker images, minus the operating system, by @GoogleContainerTools
docker-alpine - A super small Docker base image (5MB) using Alpine Linux by @gliderlabs
docker-gen - Generate files from docker container meta-data by @jwilder
dockerize - Utility to simplify running applications in docker containers by @jwilder, @powerman
GoSu - Run this specific application as this specific user and get out of the pipeline (entrypoint script tool) by @tianon
is-docker - Check if the process is running inside a Docker container by @sindresorhus
lstags - sync Docker images across registries by @ivanilves
NVIDIA-Docker - The NVIDIA Container Runtime for Docker by @NVIDIA
Ofelia - Ofelia is a modern and low footprint job scheduler for docker environments, built on Go. Ofelia aims to be a replacement for the old fashioned cron. Supports configuration from container labels and/or configuration files.
SparkView - Access VMs, desktops, servers or applications anytime and from anywhere, without complex and costly client roll-outs or user management.
su-exec - This is a simple tool that will simply execute a program with different privileges. The program will be executed directly and not run as a child, like su and sudo does, which avoids TTY and signal issues. Why reinvent gosu? This does more or less exactly the same thing as gosu but it is only 10kb instead of 1.8MB. By ncopa
sue - Executes a program as a user different from the user running sue. This is a maintainable alternative to ncopa/su-exec, which is the better tianon/gosu. This one is far better (higher performance, smaller size), than the original gosu, however it is far easier to maintain, than su-exec, which is written in plain C. Made by Akito
