    Discontinued :warning: This repository is deprecated and will be archived (Docker CE itself is NOT deprecated) see the https://github.com/docker/docker-ce/blob/master/README.md :warning:

    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?

  • engine

    Discontinued This repository is no longer in use. Starting with Docker Engine 20.10, active development, releases, and release-branches can now be found in the upstream https://github.com/moby/moby repository (by docker)

    It's interesting, in their own documentation, they seem to use the names docker-ce and docker engine interchangeably, so it seems like docker engine/community edition is free and open source under an Apache 2.0 License. https://github.com/docker/engine https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
