Docker Machine is a Go CLI tool that provisions Docker hosts on local VMs, cloud providers, or data centers, installs Docker on them, and configures the local Docker client to connect. It is now deprecated and archived by Docker.
Use cases
- provision docker hosts on cloud providers from the cli
- create a local virtualbox vm with docker installed
- manage multiple remote docker hosts
- configure docker client to talk to a remote daemon
- spin up docker engines in a data center
When to choose
- you maintain legacy infrastructure still provisioned with docker-machine
- you need to script creation of docker hosts on older cloud drivers
When to avoid
- starting new projects - the tool is deprecated and archived
- you want modern docker host provisioning - use Docker Desktop, cloud provider tools, or Terraform instead
