Docker simplifies the packaging, distribution, installation and execution of (complex) applications.

These kinds of applications usually consist of many components which need to be installed and configured. This is often a time consuming and frustrating experience for users.

- tools for software collaboration like Gitlab or Gogs
- file synchronization platforms like OwnCloud or Seafile
Docker allows administrators or developers to package these applications into something called containers. Containers are self-contained, preconfigured packages that a user can fetch and run with just a single command. By keeping different software components separated in containers they can also be easily updated or removed without influencing each other. There are many more advantages of using Docker; the details of which can be found in the official Docker Documentation.
