First Docker GitHub Action is here!
We are happy to announce that today Docker has released its first Github Action! We’ve been working with GitHub, looking into how developers have been using GitHub Actions with Docker to set up their CI/CD workflows. The standard flows you’ll see if you look around are what you’d expect: building an image, tagging it, logging into Hub, and pushing the image. This is the workflow we’ve aimed to support with our Docker build-push action.

How to deploy on remote Docker hosts with docker-compose
The docker-compose tool is pretty popular for running dockerized applications in a local development environment. All we need to do is write a Compose file containing the configuration for the application’s services and have a running Docker engine for deployment. From here, we can get the application running locally in a few seconds with a single `docker-compose up` command.

Docker Donates the cnab-to-oci Library to cnab.io
Docker helped with the development of all those components, but also worked with Microsoft on the cnab-to-oci library for sharing a CNAB bundle. This library is now used at least by 3 tools: Docker App, Porter and duffle, but also internally in Docker Hub. It successfully demonstrated how to push, pull and share description of a CNAB bundle on a registry. This work will be used as a base for the future CNAB Registries specification.

Docker was started as a project in the dotCloud company, founded by Solomon Hykes, which provided a PaaS solution. The project became so successful that dotCloud renamed itself to Docker, Inc. and focused on Docker as its primary product.

How We Solved a Report on docker-compose Performance on macOS Catalina
As a Docker Compose maintainer, my daily duty is to check for newly reported issues and try to help users through misunderstanding and possible underlying bugs. Sometimes issues are very well documented, sometimes they are nothing much but some “please help” message. And sometimes they look really weird and can result in funny investigations. Here is the story…

At KubeCon last November there was a meeting with Docker, Amazon and Microsoft to plan a collaboration around a new version of the CNCF project Notary. We held the Notary v2 kickoff meeting a few weeks later in Seattle in the Amazon offices. So why a version 2 now?

Faster builds in Docker Compose 1.25.1 thanks to BuildKit Support
One of the most requested features for the docker-compose tool is definitely support for building using Buildkit which is an alternative builder with great capabilities, like caching, concurrency and ability to use custom front-ends just to mention a few… Ahhh with a nice blue output! And the good news is that Docker Compose 1.25.1 – that was just released early January – includes BuildKit support!
