Nuxeo Docker Image
The Nuxeo Platform can be installed on many operating systems by running the Nuxeo Docker image.
Using a Docker image has several advantages:
- It is OS-independent, can be run in any container runtime.
- It provides an abstraction layer that eases installation and administration. For instance, the Docker image embeds most of the external software needed by the Nuxeo Platform.
- It's what we're using internally at Nuxeo, especially in Nuxeo Cloud.
- Docker and the container ecosystem are widely maintained by the open source community.
