Build, Ship and Run Any App, Anywhere. We don’t have to worry about where our applications are running. If we neeed to do a server update, we don’t have to fear anymore. We can move away the applications running on this server very quickly. Then we can do server updates and afterwards if everything went well, we move back our applications to the updated server. With docker our application infrastructure became much simpler. dropbit therefore decided to share our experience with docker. From now on we will blog regularly about docker. In this first blog we just show some important commmands, you have to now. We are sure you will become fond of docker too. It’s just a matter of time.

This overview was thought just for our team initially. But why not sharing the list with you. If you have some more important commands to add to the overwiew, then just let us know.
