docker-ce VS Docker Compose

Yes, Kubernetes, in fact, relies on a number of other free and open source software packages. As a base, it relies on the Docker container runtime and the CoreOS Linux distribution, and it utilizes other open source projects for a number of its components, such as etcd for distributed key-value storage. The tool's core and control plane are both built in GO programming language, making it a completely Go-based application. Kubernetes itself is an open source project and has been used as a building block for other open source projects.

Container images become containers at runtime and in the case of Docker containers - images become containers when they run on Docker Engine.

So I'm surprisingly ignorant on this but I'm curious if the full docker command line tool for linux is free and open source. It seems like https://github.com/docker/docker-ce is free and open source, but it's unclear to me if the docker community edition has other components which are not free and open source since this repository is deprecated. If the base verion is free and open source, why don't open source projects just re-implement equivalents of all of the other tools docker is providing at cost, to create a full free and open source suite?

Well, Docker CE comes with a huge Disclaimer of Warranty (https://github.com/docker/docker-ce/blob/master/LICENSE). I don't think we can complain. "I should have tested it before deploying to production" it's the right thing to say.

Not sure what you mean by "Go++" that's not really a thing. Docker's engine and tooling is primarily written in Go. You can see a copy of an older version of docker easily at https://github.com/docker/docker-ce/tree/master/components/. A number of other devops tools are written in Go, as are a number of microservices out in the wild.

Solutions are many, and could include Docker Compose, VS Code dev containers, Telepresence, Localstack or setting up temporary AWS accounts as a development environment for serverless applications.

Using Docker Compose to run Postgres and any third-party services locally provides a streamlined and consistent development environment. Developers can define services in a docker-compose.yml file, which enables them to configure and launch an entire stack with a single command. In this case, Postgres is encapsulated within a container with predefined configurations. Docker Compose also facilitates easy scaling, updates, and isolation of services, enhancing development efficiency and reducing the setup time for new team members or transitioning between projects. It encapsulates complex configurations, such as Postgres' performance monitoring and logging settings, in a manageable, version-controlled file, simplifying and replicating the service setup across different environments.

“Compose simplifies the control of your entire application stack, making it easy to manage services, networks, and volumes in a single, comprehensible YAML configuration file. Then, with a single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration file.” - Docker documentation

Docker,

This foundation now opens the door to even more powerful concepts. You can explore more advanced concepts such as container networking, streamlining the management of complex applications with Docker Compose, and how to make your application data persistent using volumes.

In many projects that are containerized, especially in cases where development is also done locally with docker-compose, teams often have two Dockerfiles, 1 for Development, the other for Production. If you happen to have multiple environments like pre-prod, staging and so on, some teams could have different Dockerfiles for these environments.
