About
Volunteers, building the boring parts properly
We are a group of like-minded enthusiasts from across the world who build and maintain the largest collection of Docker images on the web. At our core are the principles behind Free and Open Source Software. Our goal is easy-to-use, streamlined images with clear and concise documentation.

Principles
What every image gets
01
Standardised images
Every image is built on the same curated base. With s6-overlay each one is highly extendable, and shared base layers save you bandwidth and storage.
02
Regular updates
When an upstream application or its dependencies change, our pipeline rebuilds automatically. Version tags tell you exactly what each build contains.
03
First-class documentation
Every image ships with a clear, thorough setup guide, on GitHub and in one dedicated documentation space.
04
Real support
Whether you are new or a veteran, someone from the team or the community is around on Discord and our forum to help.
