Container intelligence with Docker

Three guides are on the way: building container images, using the Docker Desktop app day to day, and running a coding agent in a sandbox. The worked example throughout is the image behind this site’s own browser labs.

FOCUS AREA · IMAGES

Building images

Coming soon

Writing Dockerfiles that stay small and quick to rebuild, multi-stage builds that keep build tools out of the image you ship, and provenance attestations that record how an image was made. The worked example is hcw-lab, the image every browser lab on this site runs: one Dockerfile, two build targets, and every download checked against a pinned checksum.

  • Dockerfiles
  • Multi-stage builds
  • Provenance

FOCUS AREA · DESKTOP

The Docker Desktop app

Coming soon

Installing Docker Desktop on Windows, macOS and Linux, then using it day to day: running and inspecting containers, managing images and volumes, the settings worth changing first, and how the app relates to the docker command line.

  • Install
  • Containers
  • Images and volumes

FOCUS AREA · SANDBOXES

Running an agent in a sandbox

Coming soon

Docker Sandboxes run a coding agent in an isolated microVM on your own machine, with only the folder you give it. The recipe for pointing one at a landing zone from the Landing Zone Builder is on the browser labs page today.
