colinnolan/ubuntu-with-docker repository overview

⁠Ubuntu-Based Docker-In-Docker

Ubuntu-based versions of Docker-In-Docker⁠ images

⁠Overview

There are two ways to use Docker inside of Docker:

1. Docker-CLI-In-Docker (dcliind): An image with the Docker CLI, in which the Docker socket from the host machine is mounted and used.
2. Docker-In-Docker (dind): where the Docker daemon is installed and ran inside of a Docker image.

Both flavours are provided. The images are generated from the official Docker images⁠, which are based on Alpine.
