A Chef cookbook providing resources for installing the Docker engine and managing Docker images and containers as Chef resources. It is maintained by the Sous Chefs community and published on Chef Supermarket.
Use cases
- install docker engine with chef
- manage docker containers as chef resources
- pull docker images in chef recipes
- configure docker service on ubuntu or centos
- automate docker setup across a fleet of servers
- set up upstream docker package repositories via chef
When to choose
- you already use Chef Infra for configuration management
- you need declarative, idempotent management of docker images and containers
- you want community-maintained cookbook with broad Linux distro support
When to avoid
- you use Ansible, Puppet, or Terraform instead of Chef
- you need docker ecosystem tooling beyond the engine itself (e.g. cgroups, aufs)
- you want a standalone CLI or GUI for docker management
