## Relationship with Docker

The components and tools in the Moby Project are initially the open source components that Docker and the community have built for the Docker Project.
New projects can be added if they fit with the community goals. Docker is committed to using Moby as the upstream for the Docker Product.
However, other projects are also encouraged to use Moby as an upstream, and to reuse the components in diverse ways, and all these uses will be treated in the same way. External maintainers and contributors are welcomed.

The Moby project is not intended as a location for support or feature requests for Docker products, but as a place for contributors to work on open source code, fix bugs, and make the code more useful.
The releases are supported by the maintainers, community and users, on a best efforts basis only. For customers who want enterprise or commercial support, [Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/) and [Mirantis Container Runtime](https://www.mirantis.com/software/mirantis-container-runtime/) are the appropriate products for these use cases.

### Migrating from `github.com/docker/docker`

Replace the old import paths:

```diff
- import "github.com/docker/docker/client"
+ import "github.com/moby/moby/client"

- import "github.com/docker/docker/api/types"
+ import "github.com/moby/moby/api/types"
```

Note that v29 includes many breaking API changes (option structs, renamed methods, moved types).
See the [v29.0.0 release notes](https://github.com/moby/moby/releases/tag/docker-v29.0.0) for the full list of Go SDK changes.
