Hi, I’m looking at the now very outdated [Mautic Docker recipe](https://github.com/mautic/docker-mautic) repository… There’s no license specified. Is this repo made available under the same GPL v3 that the main Mautic project is? I’d appreciate clarification. Thanks.

I also have Mautic Dockerize here [https://github.com/mingfang/docker-mautic](https://github.com/mingfang/docker-mautic) and it’s been updated to the latest version today.

Docker is a tool that enables packaging software such as Mautic into an image file. Then anyone can simply run Mautic by referring to the image file url.

You can read more about Docker from the source [https://www.docker.com](https://www.docker.com).  
And if you Docker installed then you can run Mautic with one command like this for example.

```auto
docker run -p 80:80 --rm -it registry.rebelsoft.com/mautic
```

@mingfang well said. Without getting too technical, a Docker container is an image that lets you deploy an application in an OS virtualized environment, which includes any dependencies/libraries that are required for the app to run. It’s popular to call a Docker container a “lightweight VM”, but that’s an over simplification because a container shares the same kernel as the host OS.

As a service to the community, We maintain a Docker repository autoize/mautic that’s usually updated the day/day after Mautic comes out with a new release. [https://hub.docker.com/r/autoize/mautic/](http://example.com)
