# Welcome to the Docker user guide
|
||
|
||
In the [Introduction](/misc) you got a taste of what Docker is and how it
|
||
works. In this guide we're going to take you through the fundamentals of
|
||
using Docker and integrating it into your environment.
|
||
|
||
We’ll teach you how to use Docker to:
|
||
|
||
* Dockerize your applications.
|
||
* Run your own containers.
|
||
* Build Docker images.
|
||
* Share your Docker images with others.
|
||
* And a whole lot more!
|
||
|
||
We've broken this guide into major sections that take you through
|
||
the Docker life cycle:
|
||
|
||
## Getting started with Docker Hub
|
||
|
||
*How do I use Docker Hub?*
|
||
|
||
Docker Hub is the central hub for Docker. It hosts public Docker images
|
||
and provides services to help you build and manage your Docker
|
||
environment. To learn more:
|
||
|
||
Go to [Using Docker Hub](/docker-hub).
|
||
|
||
## Dockerizing applications: A "Hello world"
|
||
|
||
*How do I run applications inside containers?*
|
||
|
||
Docker offers a *container-based* virtualization platform to power your
|
||
applications. To learn how to Dockerize applications and run them:
|
||
|
||
Go to [Dockerizing Applications](/userguide/dockerizing).
|
||
|
||
## Working with containers
|
||
|
||
*How do I manage my containers?*
|
||
|
||
Once you get a grip on running your applications in Docker containers
|
||
we're going to show you how to manage those containers. To find out
|
||
about how to inspect, monitor and manage containers:
|
||
|
||
Go to [Working With Containers](/userguide/usingdocker).
|
||
|
||
## Working with Docker images
|
||
|
||
*How can I access, share and build my own images?*
|
||
|
||
Once you've learnt how to use Docker it's time to take the next step and
|
||
learn how to build your own application images with Docker.
|
||
|
||
Go to [Working with Docker Images](/userguide/dockerimages).
|
||
|
||
## Linking containers together
|
||
|
||
Until now we've seen how to build individual applications inside Docker
|
||
containers. Now learn how to build whole application stacks with Docker
|
||
by linking together multiple Docker containers.
|
||
|
||
Go to [Linking Containers Together](/userguide/dockerlinks).
|
||
|
||
## Managing data in containers
|
||
|
||
Now we know how to link Docker containers together the next step is
|
||
learning how to manage data, volumes and mounts inside our containers.
|
||
|
||
Go to [Managing Data in Containers](/userguide/dockervolumes).
|
||
|
||
## Working with Docker Hub
|
||
|
||
Now we've learned a bit more about how to use Docker we're going to see
|
||
how to combine Docker with the services available on Docker Hub including
|
||
Trusted Builds and private repositories.
|
||
|
||
Go to [Working with Docker Hub](/userguide/dockerrepos).
|
||
|
||
## Docker Compose
|
||
|
||
Docker Compose allows you to define a application's components -- their containers,
|
||
configuration, links and volumes -- in a single file. Then a single command
|
||
will set everything up and start your application running.
|
||
|
||
Go to [Docker Compose user guide](/compose/).
|
||
|
||
## Docker Machine
|
||
|
||
Docker Machine helps you get Docker Engines up and running quickly. Machine
|
||
can set up hosts for Docker Engines on your computer, on cloud providers,
|
||
and/or in your data center, and then configure your Docker client to securely
|
||
talk to them.
|
||
|
||
Go to [Docker Machine user guide](/machine/).
|
||
|
||
## Docker Swarm
|
||
|
||
Docker Swarm pools several Docker Engines together and exposes them as a single
|
||
virtual Docker Engine. It serves the standard Docker API, so any tool that already
|
||
works with Docker can now transparently scale up to multiple hosts.
|
||
|
||
Go to [Docker Swarm user guide](/swarm/).
