## What it is
A Dockerized packaging of HashiCorp Consul, providing Dockerfiles and scripts to run Consul in containers. It was formerly known as progrium/consul, with that version preserved on the legacy branch.

## Use cases
- run consul in docker
- dockerized consul service discovery
- set up consul container for local development
- consul kv store in a container
- spin up consul cluster with docker

## When to choose
- you need a quick containerized Consul for local development or testing
- you want a minimal Dockerfile base for running Consul

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained image with recent Consul versions
- you want official support - use the official hashicorp/consul Docker image instead
- you need production-grade updates or security patches

## Facets
- artifact type: infra-config
- maturity: abandoned
- function: container-runtime, service-discovery, configuration-management, developer-tools
- domain: microservices, self-hosted
- platform: self-hosted
- tags: consul, docker-image, dockerfile, hashicorp, service-mesh, kv-store, devops, containers, docker, linux
