Playing with docker ...

Docker is an open-source platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of applications by isolating them into lightweight, portable containers. Containers are standalone executable units that encapsulate all necessary dependencies, libraries, and configuration files required for an application to run consistently across various environments.

Understanding the core technologies that power Docker will provide you with a deeper insight into how Docker works and will help you use the platform more effectively.

Docker provides a desktop application called Docker Desktop that simplifies the installation and setup process. There is also another option to install using the Docker Engine.
