Valuable Docker Links

Published: 24 Aug 2014 (latest update: 29 Oct 2017)

The Docker weekly email newsletter is a great service to stay tuned with Docker. You find great links, news, articles, howtos, manuals, and more, and all about Docker and its evolving ecosystem. Nevertheless, these informations are short-living. They are fading out of focus as the weeks pass by. But there are a lot of great posts which should be collected and presented in a more enduring way.

The links on this site are reviewed and updated weekly (very subjective).

Feel free to contact me if you think there are valuable links missing or if you aware of better links.

Warning: Links are not selected by objective criteria (this collection only contains links I find useful from a very personal point of view).

You may want to check similar pages like Awesome Docker or How to cook microservices to get further informations about Docker, Containerization and Microservices.
