Read the project’s introduction
Docker Roadmap Thank you for the interest in Docker and our products! This is the public roadmap for Docker Products and Services (Hub, Desktop, Engine, docker-compose, Build Cloud). Introduction We want to share with our customers what we plan to do early and often so we can get your feedback on if these are the right things for us to be focusing on. This also allows our customers to make early decisions based on what we are/are not building. See the roadmap » Contribute to our roadmap » Early Access to features For users of Docker Desktop interested in early access to new features please join our Developer Preview Program. Participate in User Research During these live feedback sessions we will often show work in progress features or ideas to get your input on, or ask you more about how you use Docker to discover any pain points when working with the product. We use these insights to help prioritize our roadmap and improve the user experience. Each session is typically 30 minutes to an hour. If you would like to take part in one of our user research studies please sign up and we will reach out to you when we have something to research or test. Security Please do not create a public github issue. If you discover a potential security issue in this project we ask that you notify Docker Security send your report privately to security@docker.com. Please do not create a public github issue. FAQs Q: Is everything on the roadmap? A: Almost everything related to features, we might keep the odd feature a surprise if we really aren’t sure about it. We also won’t be tracking all of our bugs here, we have separate repos for these: Docker Hub Docker Engine Docker Desktop Linux Docker Desktop Windows Docker Desktop Mac Docker Build Cloud Q: What do the roadmap categories mean? Shipped - Hopefully you are enjoying it! Give us feedback on how it is working! Almost There - We are applying the finishing touches. Things in this bucket you can expect to be shipped within 2-4 weeks. We're Writing the Code - Actively in development, we are trying to get this out to you in a good state as soon as we can. Investigating - We're thinking about it. This might mean we're still designing, or thinking through how this might work. This is a great phase to send how you want to see something implemented! We'd love to see your usecase or design ideas here. Q: Why are there no dates on your roadmap? A: Because we know things change and we want the room to do the right thing by fixing security issues as they come up or helping people out where they need. This means we might have to change our priorities and don’t want to let people down. Q: How can I provide feedback or ask for more information? A: Please open an issue in this repo! If the issue is a bug or security issue, please follow the separate instructions above. Q: How can I request a feature be added to the roadmap? A: Please open an issue! You can read about how to contribute here. Community submitted issues will be tagged "Proposed" and will be reviewed by the team. Q: Will you accept a pull request? A: We haven't worked out how pull requests should work for a public roadmap page, but we will take all PRs very seriously and review for inclusion. Read about contributing. We review these each week.

> As a platform for running production code it might be dead or dying, but as an ecosystem and a development tool it will continue to live and probably thrive. Not everyone needs an over the top Kubernetes cluster in production. I'm plenty happy using Docker Compose in production and foresee myself continuing to use it as long as Docker maintains it. There's even a WIP issue on their roadmap[0] to rewrite Docker Compose with Go to make it more consistent with their main CLI. Looks like full steam ahead to me rather than death. It's really nice having the same Dockerfile + docker-compose.yml get used in dev + ci and prod. There's no surprises and no massive amount of complexity.

In Docker's Second Death
From their roadmap, it does not appear they have really investigated this yet. [1] Rosetta 2 translates Mac apps and can deal with JIT, but I do not believe it will work through virtualization. It should be relatively light lifting to make Docker for Mac run an ARM linux installation and ARM-built containers. From there, you likely would want to strategically add multi-arch container support to the docker runtime. This might be implemented based on existing qemu containers [2] 1: https://github.com/docker/roadmap/issues/142 2: https://github.com/multiarch/qemu-user-static
In Introducing the next generation of Mac
I’ve done way too much investigation into this. They are fixing these issues finally[0] (I’m mc0 mentioned in the thread). It does absolutely suck and is mostly caused by hacks to support macOS inotify event propagation into the docker VM. They are also working on making a different system for syncing data using Mutagen[1] that should fix this completely. That being said, it is very usable today depending on the workload. 0: https://github.com/docker/roadmap/issues/12#issuecomment-652... 1: https://github.com/docker/roadmap/issues/7
