[[https://docker.org][Docker]] is a set of platform as a service tools that use OS level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers. Containers are isolated from one another and bundle their own software, libraries, and configuratuion files. [[https://docs.docker.com/compose/][Compose]] is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a YAML file to configure your application services. Then, with a single command, you create and start all of the services from your configuration. [[https://docs.docker.com/machine/][Machine]] is a tool that lets you install Docker Engine on virtual hosts, and manage the hosts with ~docker-machine~ commands. You can use Machine to create hosts on your local box, company network, data center, or on any cloud provider.

[[https://nixos.org/][NixOS]] typically stores the current machine configuration in =/etc/nixos/configuration.nix=. In this project, this file is stored in =/etc/dotfiles/hosts/$HOSTNAME/...=, and imported, along with the generated hardware configurations. This ensures that multiple host machines can share the same modules, and generating new host definitions is trivial.

[[https://docker.org][Docker]] is a set of platform as a service tools that use OS level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers. Containers are isolated from one another and bundle their own software, libraries, and configuration files; they can communicate with each other through well-defined channels.
