Docs
This is the public documentation repository for Docker, serving as the source of truth for technical guides, API references, and manuals. It functions as a structured technical documentation site designed to help users install and operate containerized environments.
The project operates as a community-driven knowledge base. Users contribute technical corrections and new content through a public version control workflow, utilizing a system of pull requests to maintain and improve the documentation.
The content covers a wide range of containerization materials, including a learning path for deploying and managing applications and detailed specifications for the Docker engine programmatic interfaces.
The site is built using markdown-based content authoring and a static site generation pipeline, with automated build validation to verify changes before they are merged.
