Architecture

This CLI has the following high level design goals:

Provide a way for the Docker experience to be mapped to different container runtimes
Provide a way to automatically generate high quality SDKs in popular languages
Ensure that existing Docker CLI commands continue to work as before

These constraints resulted in the following architecture:

What follows is a list of useful links to help navigate the code:

The CLI UX code is in cli/
The backend interface is defined in backend/
- An example backend can be found in example/
The API is defined by protobufs that can be found in protos/
The API server is in server/
The context management and interface can be found in context/
The Node SDK is autogenerated (except for default endpoints managed by Docker Desktop), and can be found in docker/node-sdk
