What is it?

Dockerlabs is a learning resource for Docker, organized into beginner, intermediate and advanced tracks. It contains hundreds of step-by-step tutorials and labs covering images, Dockerfile instructions, volumes, networking, Docker Compose, Swarm, and security topics such as content trust, secrets, image scanning and swarm mode security.

The labs can be followed on Docker Desktop, and the project notes they can also be run in a browser without local infrastructure. Beyond the core workshops, it includes sections on Docker Scout, Docker init, Compose Watch and Compose Profiles, plus links to sample multi-service apps for Django, Flask, React, Express, Spring and more.

The project is an independent community effort started by Ajeet Singh Raina and maintained by contributors, and it is licensed under Apache 2.0.
