This is a broad, convenient Docker command reference, but its quiet recent maintenance makes it worth checking commands against current Docker documentation before relying on them.
Good fit if
- You want a compact reference for Docker commands across containers, images, networking, Compose, and Swarm.
- You value having English, Russian, Persian, and Chinese README versions.
- You want to reuse or adapt the material under its MIT license.
Look elsewhere if
- You need a maintained, version-specific reference with recent releases and active command review.
- You need an interactive tutorial, executable tool, or automated Docker workflow rather than documentation.

Overview
DockerCheatSheet is a multilingual reference for Docker, adapted from the second edition of Painless Docker. It addresses the need to quickly find command examples for common Docker work, from running containers to managing images and Swarm services.
The repository is documentation, not a Docker client or course platform. Its README includes English, Russian, Persian, and Chinese versions, with examples for Linux, macOS, and Windows installation.
Key Features
- Provides commands for logging in to registries, searching for images, and pulling or pushing them.
- Covers creating, starting, stopping, inspecting, and cleaning up containers.
- Includes image-building, tagging, saving, loading, and removal examples.
- Shows network creation and container network connection commands.
- Includes Docker security guidance for building images.
- Provides Docker Swarm service and node commands, plus Docker Compose workflows.
- Offers multilingual README versions in English, Russian, Persian, and Chinese.
Use Cases
- Developers new to Docker can look up the command for a common container or image task.
- Operators can quickly check syntax for network, volume, cleanup, or resource-inspection commands.
- Teams using Docker Swarm can refer to examples for joining a swarm and scaling or updating services.
- Readers who prefer another supported language can use the translated README files.

Getting Started
Install Docker for your platform using the directions in the README, then use the cheat sheet to look up commands. The repository is documentation and has no separate setup command.
Considerations
The project is marked quiet: it has had no commits in the last 90 days and no release in the past year. It has multiple contributors, and contributor activity is not classified as concentrated, but there has also been no recent issue closure or pull-request merge activity in the measured period. Some examples may need verification against the Docker version and platform you use. The README provides installation links and command examples, but does not present a versioned compatibility matrix or automated tests.
