Docker is becoming increasingly popular among software developers, operators and enterprises as a software container platform. Containers package software in a format that can run isolated on a host operating system. Bundled with only essential libraries and settings, Docker renders lightweight, efficient, self-contained systems that run identically wherever deployed.
Optimizing the platform’s functionality begins with mastery of the core Docker commands. This cheat sheet is a reference for the most basic Docker commands that address installation, Hub interaction, and working with containers and images.
As of this writing, the recommended Docker installation is Docker Community Edition (Docker CE). See the official docs or our How to Install Docker guide for more details.
