It provides a “lego set” of dozens of standard components and a framework for assembling them into custom platforms.<p>Audience<p>Moby is recommended for anyone who wants to assemble a container-based system, this includes:<p>Hackers who want to customize or patch their Docker build<p>System engineers or integrators building a container system<p>Infrastructure providers looking to adapt existing container systems to their environment<p>Container enthusiasts who want to experiment with the latest container tech<p>Open-source developers looking to test their project in a variety of different systems<p>Anyone curious about Docker internals and how it’s built<p>Moby is NOT recommended for:<p>Application developers looking for an easy way to run their applications in containers. We recommend Docker CE instead.<p>Enterprise IT and development teams looking for a ready-to-use, commercially supported container platform. We recommend Docker EE instead.<p>Anyone curious about containers and looking for an easy way to learn. We recommend the docker.com website instead.
