# Guidelines for creating and documenting official repositories # Official Repositories on Docker Hub
## Introduction The Docker [Official Repositories](http://registry.hub.docker.com/official) are
a curated set of Docker repositories that are promoted on Docker Hub and
supported by Docker, Inc. They are designed to:
Youve been given the job of creating an image for an Official Repository * Provide essential base OS repositories (for example,

planning to create an Official Repo, you can think of these guidelines as best starting point for the majority of users.
practices for image creation generally.
This document consists of two major sections: * Provide drop-in solutions for popular programming language runtimes, data
stores, and other services, similar to what a Platform-as-a-Service (PAAS)
would offer.
* A list of expected files, resources and supporting items for your image, * Exemplify [`Dockerfile` best practices](/articles/dockerfile_best-practices)
along with best practices for creating those items and provide clear documentation to serve as a reference for other `Dockerfile`
* Examples embodying those practices authors.
## Expected files and resources * Ensure that security updates are applied in a timely manner. This is
particularly important as many Official Repositories are some of the most
popular on Docker Hub.
### A Git repository * Provide a channel for software vendors to redistribute up-to-date and
supported versions of their products. Organization accounts on Docker Hub can
also serve this purpose, without the careful review or restrictions on what
can be published.
Your image needs to live in a Git repository, preferably on GitHub. (If youd Docker, Inc. sponsors a dedicated team that is responsible for reviewing and

place openly on GitHub where participation is encouraged. Anyone can provide
feedback, contribute code, suggest process changes, or even propose a new

built `FROM` the non-`ONBUILD` image.
* The `ONBUILD` image should be specifically tagged, for example, `ruby:
latest`and `ruby:onbuild`, or `ruby:2` and `ruby:2-onbuild`
### A short description All Official Repositories contain a **User Feedback** section in their
documentation which covers the details for that specific repository. In most
cases, the GitHub repository which contains the Dockerfiles for an Official
Repository also has an active issue tracker. General feedback and support
questions should be directed to `#docker-library` on Freenode IRC.
Include a brief description of your image (in plaintext). Only one description ## How do I create a new Official Repository?
is required; you dont need additional descriptions for each tag. The file
should also:
* Be named `README-short.txt` From a high level, an Official Repository starts out as a proposal in the form
* Reside in the repo for the “latest” tag of a set of GitHub pull requests. You'll find detailed and objective proposal
* Not exceed 100 characters requirements in the following GitHub repositories:
### A logo * [docker-library/official-images](https://github.com/docker-library/official-images)
Include a logo of your company or the product (png format preferred). Only one * [docker-library/docs](https://github.com/docker-library/docs)

width)
* Square or wide (landscape) is preferred over tall (portrait), but exceptions
can be made based on the logo needed
### A long description There are also subjective considerations during the review process. These
subjective concerns boil down to the basic question: "is this image generally
useful?" For example, the [`python`](https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/python/)
Official Repository is "generally useful" to the large Python developer
community, whereas an obscure text adventure game written in Python last week is
not.
Include a comprehensive description of your image (in Markdown format, GitHub When a new proposal is accepted, the author becomes responsibile for keeping

descriptions for each tag. The file should also: Repositories team becomes responsibile for publishing the images and
documentation on Docker Hub. Updates to the Official Repository follow the same
pull request process, though with less review. The Official Repositories team
ultimately acts as a gatekeeper for all changes, which helps mitigate the risk
of quality and security issues from being introduced.

In terms of content, the long description must include the following sections:
* Overview & links
* How-to/usage
* Issues & contributions
#### Overview and links
This section should provide:
* an overview of the software contained in the image, similar to the
introduction in a Wikipedia entry
* a selection of links to outside resources that help to describe the software
* a *mandatory* link to the `Dockerfile`
#### How-to/usage
A section that describes how to run and use the image, including common use
cases and example `Dockerfile`s (if applicable). Try to provide clear, step-by-
step instructions wherever possible.
##### Issues and contributions
In this section, point users to any resources that can help them contribute to
the project. Include contribution guidelines and any specific instructions
related to your development practices. Include a link to
[Dockers resources for contributors](https://docs.docker.com/contributing/contributing/).
Be sure to include contact info, handles, etc. for official maintainers.
Also include information letting users know where they can go for help and how
they can file issues with the repo. Point them to any specific IRC channels,
issue trackers, contacts, additional “how-to” information or other resources.
### License
Include a file, `LICENSE`, of any applicable license. Docker recommends using
the license of the software contained in the image, provided it allows Docker,
Inc. to legally build and distribute the image. Otherwise, Docker recommends
adopting the [Expat license](http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/License:Expat)
(a.k.a., the MIT or X11 license).
## Examples
Below are sample short and long description files for an imaginary image
containing Ruby on Rails.
### Short description
`README-short.txt`
`Ruby on Rails is an open-source application framework written in Ruby. It emphasizes best practices such as convention over configuration, active record pattern, and the model-view-controller pattern.`
### Long description
`README.md`
```markdown
# What is Ruby on Rails
Ruby on Rails, often simply referred to as Rails, is an open source web application framework which runs via the Ruby programming language. It is a full-stack framework: it allows creating pages and applications that gather information from the web server, talk to or query the database, and render templates out of the box. As a result, Rails features a routing system that is independent of the web server.
> [wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_on_Rails](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_on_Rails)
# How to use this image
## Create a `Dockerfile` in your rails app project
FROM rails:onbuild
Put this file in the root of your app, next to the `Gemfile`.
This image includes multiple `ONBUILD` triggers so that should be all that you need for most applications. The build will `ADD . /usr/src/app`, `RUN bundle install`, `EXPOSE 3000`, and set the default command to `rails server`.
Then build and run the Docker image.
docker build -t my-rails-app .
docker run --name some-rails-app -d my-rails-app
Test it by visiting `http://container-ip:3000` in a browser. On the other hand, if you need access outside the host on port 8080:
docker run --name some-rails-app -p 8080:3000 -d my-rails-app
Then go to `http://localhost:8080` or `http://host-ip:8080` in a browser.
```
For more examples, take a look at these repos:
* [Go](https://github.com/docker-library/golang)
* [PostgreSQL](https://github.com/docker-library/postgres)
* [Buildpack-deps](https://github.com/docker-library/buildpack-deps)
* ["Hello World" minimal container](https://github.com/docker-library/hello-world)
* [Node](https://github.com/docker-library/node)
## Submit your repo
Once you've checked off everything in these guidelines, and are confident your
image is ready for primetime, please contact us at
[partners@docker.com](mailto:partners@docker.com) to have your project
considered for the Official Repos program.
