Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
``docker``, the Linux Container Runtime, runs Unix processes with
|
|
strong guarantees of isolation across servers. Your software runs
|
|
repeatably everywhere because its :ref:`container_def` includes any
|
|
dependencies.
|
|
|
|
``docker`` runs three ways:
|
|
|
|
* as a daemon to manage LXC containers on your :ref:`Linux host
|
|
<kernel>` (``sudo docker -d``)
|
|
* as a :ref:`CLI <cli>` which talks to the daemon's `REST API
|
|
<api/docker_remote_api>`_ (``docker run ...``)
|
|
* as a client of :ref:`Repositories <working_with_the_repository>`
|
|
that let you share what you've built (``docker pull, docker
|
|
commit``).
|
|
|
|
Each use of ``docker`` is documented here. The features of Docker are
|
|
currently in active development, so this documentation will change
|
|
frequently.
|
|
|
|
For an overview of Docker, please see the `Introduction
|
|
<http://www.docker.io>`_. When you're ready to start working with
|
|
Docker, we have a `quick start <http://www.docker.io/gettingstarted>`_
|
|
and a more in-depth guide to :ref:`ubuntu_linux` and other
|
|
:ref:`installation_list` paths including prebuilt binaries,
|
|
Vagrant-created VMs, Rackspace and Amazon instances.
