A curated list of Docker resources and projects

If you would like to contribute, please read CONTRIBUTING.md first. It contains a lot of tips and guidelines to help keep things organized. Just click README.md to submit a pull request. If this list is not complete, you can contribute to make it so. Here is a great video tutorial to learn how to contribute on Github.

Please, help organize these resources so that they are easy to find and understand for newcomers. See how to Contribute for tips!

If you see a link here that is not (any longer) a good fit, you can fix it by submitting a pull request to improve this file. Thank you!

The creators and maintainers of this list do not receive any form of payment to accept a change made by any contributor. This page is not an official Docker product in any way. It is a list of links to projects and is maintained by volunteers. Everybody is welcome to contribute. The goal of this repo is to index open-source projects, not to advertise for profit.

All the links are monitored and tested with a home baked Node.js script

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.

  • 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.
