Awesome Docker, a map rather than a tool

There is no software to install here. This is a curated, categorized list of Docker resources and projects, kept in the awesome list tradition and maintained by whoever cares enough to send a pull request.

A list, not a program

The repository is exactly what its description says: a curated list of Docker resources and projects. No primary language shows up in the repo metadata because there is no code to speak of, just a maintained document under the Apache-2.0 license, holding around 36,600 stars. If you came looking for software to install, the thing you want is probably one of the links inside.

How the entries are arranged

Everything is grouped by category. Entries give you a project or resource name and a short description, which is enough to tell whether a link deserves a click. The categories reach across working with containers, from tools and projects to documentation and learning material, so the list works as a starting point whether you are hunting for software or reading up.

Where it lives online

The list has a homepage at average.joe.dev in addition to its GitHub presence. Having a browsable web version matters for a resource like this, since the point is discovery rather than cloning. Nobody needs a local copy of a directory of links.

The maintenance model

This is community maintained, following the awesome list format that hundreds of similar collections use, and it is open to contributions. That model has a known failure mode, lists going stale, and the format's only real answer is that anyone can submit an update when an entry rots. For a directory of links, that is about as good as maintenance gets.
