Docker (software)

Docker is an open-source project that automates the deployment of Linux applications inside software containers.

Description

Quote of features from Docker web pages:

Docker containers wrap up a piece of software in a complete filesystem that contains everything it needs to run: code, runtime, system tools, system libraries – anything you can install on a server. This guarantees that it will always run the same, regardless of the environment it is running in.
