https://github.com/docker/cliThe command-line interface for interacting with the Docker engine. This repository contains the source code and build definitions for the CLI, including documentation on building from source, enabling experimental features, testing OpenTelemetry (OTEL) functionality, and managing the Docker API client and contexts.
docker builder command is used to manage build processes and build cache. It provides subcommands for creating images and cleaning up build resources.A virtual machine (VM) emulates a complete computer and imitates dedicated hardware, isolating an entire operating system.
Key differences from containers:
system command is used to manage Docker's high-level system resources and state. It provides subcommands for monitoring disk usage, viewing real-time server events, displaying system-wide information, and cleaning up unused data.The Docker Engine reference documentation is split into several key areas depending on your task:
docker run command and its flags.docker stack command is used to manage stacks in a Docker Swarm. A stack is a collection of services that can be deployed together using a Compose file. You can deploy, list, inspect, and remove entire stacks of services.docker trust signer command is used to manage the entities (signers) who are authorized to sign Docker images within a trust domain. It allows you to control which keys or identities can be used to provide cryptographic signatures for your images.The docker service command is used to manage services within a Docker Swarm cluster.
Important: This is a cluster management command and must be executed on a swarm manager node. It will not work on worker nodes or standalone Docker engines that are not part of a swarm.
docker manifest command provides subcommands to manage image manifests and manifest lists. A manifest list (often called a 'multi-arch image') allows a single name to refer to the same image built for multiple architectures (e.g., different OS/arch combinations).docker trust command is used to manage trust on Docker images, allowing you to sign images and manage the keys and signers used to verify image integrity.Docker uses specific terminology to indicate the lifecycle status of engine features. When planning migrations or evaluating feature stability, note the following definitions:
docker secret command is used to manage Swarm secrets. Secrets allow you to store sensitive data (such as passwords, SSL certificates, or API keys) securely in the Swarm cluster. These secrets can then be mounted into services as files in the /run/secrets/ directory within the container.
