Docker Architecture

Docker enables you to create and manage containers that run applications and their environments isolated from each other. Containers are lighter than virtual machines and start faster. They ensure that your applications work the same everywhere, regardless of the host system. Docker is particularly popular in self-hosting for simplifying service management.
