     5  # Welcome to the Docker User Guide
     6  
     7  In the [Introduction](/) you got a taste of what Docker is and how it
     8  works. In this guide we're going to take you through the fundamentals of
     9  using Docker and integrating it into your environment.
    10  
    11  We’ll teach you how to use Docker to:
    12  
    13  * Dockerize your applications.
    14  * Run your own containers.
    15  * Build Docker images.
    16  * Share your Docker images with others.
    17  * And a whole lot more!
    18  
    19  We've broken this guide into major sections that take you through
    20  the Docker life cycle:
    21  
    22  ## Getting Started with Docker Hub
    23  
    24  *How do I use Docker Hub?*
    25  
    26  Docker Hub is the central hub for Docker. It hosts public Docker images
    27  and provides services to help you build and manage your Docker
    28  environment. To learn more:
    29  
    30  Go to [Using Docker Hub](/userguide/dockerhub).
    31  
    32  ## Dockerizing Applications: A "Hello world"
    33  
    34  *How do I run applications inside containers?*
    35  
    36  Docker offers a *container-based* virtualization platform to power your
    37  applications. To learn how to Dockerize applications and run them:
    38  
    39  Go to [Dockerizing Applications](/userguide/dockerizing).
    40  
    41  ## Working with Containers
    42  
    43  *How do I manage my containers?*
    44  
    45  Once you get a grip on running your applications in Docker containers
    46  we're going to show you how to manage those containers. To find out
    47  about how to inspect, monitor and manage containers:
    48  
    49  Go to [Working With Containers](/userguide/usingdocker).
    50  
    51  ## Working with Docker Images
    52  
    53  *How can I access, share and build my own images?*
    54  
    55  Once you've learnt how to use Docker it's time to take the next step and
    56  learn how to build your own application images with Docker.
    57  
    58  Go to [Working with Docker Images](/userguide/dockerimages).
    59  
    60  ## Linking Containers Together
    61  
    62  Until now we've seen how to build individual applications inside Docker
    63  containers. Now learn how to build whole application stacks with Docker
    64  by linking together multiple Docker containers.
    65  
    66  Go to [Linking Containers Together](/userguide/dockerlinks).
    67  
    68  ## Managing Data in Containers
    69  
    70  Now we know how to link Docker containers together the next step is
    71  learning how to manage data, volumes and mounts inside our containers.
    72  
    73  Go to [Managing Data in Containers](/userguide/dockervolumes).
    74  
    75  ## Working with Docker Hub
    76  
    77  Now we've learned a bit more about how to use Docker we're going to see
    78  how to combine Docker with the services available on Docker Hub including
    79  Trusted Builds and private repositories.
    80  
    81  Go to [Working with Docker Hub](/userguide/dockerrepos).
