Decision brief
Moby is an open-source project for building container-based systems, initially comprising components from Docker, focusing on code contributions, bug fixes, and improvements.
Good fit when
- When you need an upstream project for Docker and other container-based systems, offering a collaborative environment for open-source contributions.
- If you are working on new projects that align with the community goals and require reusable components from the Moby Project.
Avoid when
- If you are looking for direct support or feature requests for Docker products, as Moby is not intended for such purposes.
- When enterprise or commercial support is required, as Moby offers support on a best-efforts basis only, and you should consider Docker Desktop or Mirantis Container Runtime instead.
