## What it is
The open-source repository containing the Markdown source for Docker's official documentation site at docs.docker.com. It covers Docker Engine, Docker Desktop, Compose, Docker Hub, Docker Scout, Sandboxes, and related APIs and CLIs, and accepts community contributions.

## Use cases
- learn docker basics and container concepts
- find dockerfile and compose file reference documentation
- look up docker cli and engine api commands
- contribute fixes to docker documentation
- learn how to install and configure docker desktop
- understand docker scout and hardened images

## When to choose
- you need authoritative, up-to-date documentation for any Docker product or API
- you want to contribute corrections or new content to Docker docs
- you are learning containers and Docker workflows from official sources

## When to avoid
- you need a runnable tool or library rather than documentation
- you need offline docs without building the site from source
- you seek documentation for non-Docker container runtimes

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, markdown
- domain: documentation, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: docker, containers, docs-site, open-source-documentation, contribution-guide, devops, web-server
