NAME

       docker.io - A self-sufficient runtime for linux containers.

SYNOPSIS

       docker.io [OPTIONS] COMMAND [arg...]

DESCRIPTION

       Docker  complements LXC with a high-level API which operates at the process level. It runs
       unix processes with strong guarantees  of  isolation  and  repeatability  across  servers.
       Docker  is  a  great  building  block  for automating distributed systems: large-scale web
       deployments, database clusters, continuous  deployment  systems,  private  PaaS,  service-
       oriented architectures, etc.

       docker.io runs in three ways:

       * as a daemon to manage LXC containers on your Linux host
              sudo docker.io -d

       * as a CLI which talks to the daemon’s REST API
              docker.io run ...

       * as a client of Repositories that let you share what you’ve built
              docker.io pull, docker.io commit

EXAMPLES

       docker.io
              list COMMANDS available

       docker.io --help
              list OPTIONS available

       docker.io run busybox echo 'Hello world'
              Pull busybox image, launch a container with it, execute echo inside, and greet
