awesome-docker is a hand-crafted list for high-quality information about docker and its resources. It would be nice if it is related or compatible with docker in some way. But if it's awesome, let's us know why and you're good to go!

  • Each item should be limited to one link, no duplicates, no redirection (careful with http vs https!)
  • The link should be the name of the package or project or website
  • Description should be clear and concise (read it out loud to be sure)
  • Description should follow the link, on the same line
  • if you want to add more than one link, please don't do all PR on the exact same line, it usually results in conflicts and your PR cannot be automatically merged...

Please contribute links to packages/projects you have used or are familiar with. This will help ensure high-quality entries.

Quality standard

Note that we can help you achieve those standards, just try your best, be brave. We'll guide you to the best of our abilities.

To be on the list, it would be nice if entries adhere to these quality standards:

  • Generally useful to the community.
  • A project on github with a beautiful readme and plenty of examples is considered high quality.
  • Clearly stating when an entry is relating to (Linux) containers and not Docker.
  • Clearly "what is it" i.e. which category it belongs. Just try your best, we'll help you if needed.
  • Clearly stating "what is it for" i.e. mention the problem it solves. Just try your best, make it clear for the next person.
  • Solves a real problem (even a small one).
  • If it is a WIP (work in progress, not safe for production), mention it. (Remember the time before Docker 1.0 ? ;-) )
  • Always put the link to the github project instead of the website!

To be on the list, the project must have:

  • How to setup the project
  • How to use the project (examples)

If your PR is not merged, we will tell you why so that you may be able to improve it. But usually, we are pretty relaxed people, so just come and say hi, we'll figure something out together.

New Collaborators

If you just joined the team of maintainers for this repo, first of all: WELCOME!

If it is your first time maintaining an open source project, read the best practice guides for maintainers.

Here are the few things you need to know:

  • we don't push directly to master, we create a pull request. Every entry has to be reviewed.
  • how to tell if a project should be on the list, read this file CONTRIBUTING.md
  • to ask a contributor to make a change, just copy paste this message here and changes a few things like names and stuff. The main idea is to help people get to quality.
  • If something seems weird, if you don't understand what a project does or the documentation is poor, don't hesitate to ask for more (see previous point).
