command-line tool for controlling Docker

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

The Docker command-line tool allows you to control remote Docker hosts. You can use it to build docker images, start docker containers, execute commands inside containers, see running containers, and view logs. Note that Docker cannot be run natively on OpenBSD because it is Linux-specific, but you can run Linux+Docker in an OpenBSD vm. One description of how to do so can be found at https://www.tumfatig.net/2022/running-docker-host-openbsd-vmd/
