About:
Docker Machine is a tool that enables you to provision and manage Docker hosts across various environments, including local VMs and cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and DigitalOcean. It automates the creation of machines with Docker Engine installed, streamlining the setup of distributed container environments. This fork is maintained by GitLab to specifically support their Runner's Docker Machine executor for autoscaling CI/CD infrastructure.
Key Features:
  • Provisions Docker hosts on multiple cloud providers and local hypervisors
  • Automates Docker Engine installation and configuration on new hosts
  • Seamlessly integrates with GitLab CI/CD for dynamic runner scaling
  • Provides a unified CLI to manage the lifecycle of remote Docker hosts
Use Cases:
  • Scaling GitLab CI/CD runners dynamically on cloud infrastructure
  • Provisioning multi-node Docker Swarm clusters for testing or production
  • Managing development environments that mirror production cloud setups
Alternatives:
  • Docker Desktop – Focuses on local development, whereas Machine is for provisioning remote or multi-host environments.
  • Terraform – A general infrastructure-as-code tool, while Machine is specialized for creating Docker-ready hosts.
