docker.io(1)

NAME
docker.io - A self-sufficient runtime for linux containers.

SYNOPSIS
docker.io [OPTIONS] COMMAND [arg...]

DESCRIPTION
Docker complements LXC with a high-level API which operates at the process level. It runs unix processes with strong guarantees of isolation and repeatability across servers. Docker is a great building block for automating distributed systems: large-scale web deployments, database clusters, continuous deployment systems, private PaaS, service-oriented architectures, etc.

docker.io runs in three ways:

* as a daemon to manage LXC containers on your Linux host
    sudo docker.io -d

* as a CLI which talks to the daemon’s REST API
    docker.io run ...

* as a client of Repositories that let you share what you’ve built
    docker.io pull, docker.io commit

EXAMPLES

docker.io
    list COMMANDS available

docker.io --help
    list OPTIONS available

docker.io run busybox echo 'Hello world'
    Pull busybox image, launch a container with it, execute echo inside, and greet
