# Docker Supports Open Source

# Open Source is in our DNA

Docker is built for developers, by developers. We enable team collaboration, efficient packaging, and scalable distribution of open-source projects, all with a focus on trust and security.

Docker Hub Empowers Open-Source Innovation

## The Home for Open Source

Docker Hub enables open-source projects to thrive, providing a free, secure, and scalable platform to distribute and collaborate on containerized applications. With more than 24 millions of developers relying on Docker Hub, open-source maintainers can effortlessly share their work, streamline contributions, and ensure software remains accessible, secure, and up to date.

#### Free hosting and collaboration

Docker Hub provides free public repositories for open-source projects, making it easy for the community to share, manage versions and contribute.

#### Security and automation

Provides official images, vulnerability scanning and integration with CI/CD pipelines to keep containers secure and up to date.

#### Bringing CNCF to Docker Hub

CNCF leads the cloud-native ecosystem, defining best practices for scalable, modern applications. Docker Hub’s CNCF category highlights verified images from CNCF projects, providing developers with trusted, community-backed containers.
