What’s the difference between Docker Engine and Docker Machine?
When people say “Docker” they typically mean Docker Engine, the client-server application made up of the Docker daemon, a REST API that specifies interfaces for interacting with the daemon, and a command line interface (CLI) client that talks to the daemon (through the REST API wrapper). Docker Engine accepts docker
commands from the CLI, such as docker run <image>
, docker ps
to list running containers, docker image ls
to list images, and so on.
