Dockerlings is an interactive learning tool and game that helps users learn Docker fundamentals directly in their terminal through bite-sized exercises and challenges. Designed for both beginners and developers who want a hands-on introduction to containerization, it gamifies common Docker tasks like managing images, containers, networks, and volumes so you can practice repeatedly without needing external tutorials or sandbox environments. The tool runs as a terminal application that presents interactive prompts and verifies your commands instantly, giving immediate feedback on whether you’ve completed the step correctly. Instead of reading static documentation, dockerlings turns learning into a mini-adventure where each successful command unlocks the next lesson, helping solidify understanding through practical repetition.
