- :title: Welcome to the Docker Documentation
- :description: An overview of the Docker Documentation
- :keywords: containers, lxc, concepts, explanation
- Welcome

- ``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 documention 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.
- Enough reading! :ref:`Try it out! <running_examples>`
