Docker App is a CLI plugin and packaging framework that lets developers build, share, and run multi-service Docker Compose applications as a single distributable entity via container registries. It implements the CNAB standard and supports deployment to Swarm or Kubernetes.

Use cases

• package a docker compose app as a shareable image
• share multi-service applications on docker hub
• deploy compose apps to kubernetes or swarm
• manage runtime parameters separately from app definition
• promote the same app across dev qa staging and production

When to choose

• you need to package and distribute Compose-based applications via container registries
• you want CNAB-standard application bundles
• you must maintain a legacy workflow already built on Docker App

When to avoid

• starting a new project - the project is deprecated and no longer maintained
• you only need plain docker compose locally
• you want actively supported packaging - consider Helm or Porter instead
