docker
Although running Docker inside Docker is generally not recommended, there are some legitimate use cases, such as development of Docker itself. Docker is an open-source project that automates the deployment of applications inside software containers, by providing an additional layer of abstraction and automation of operating-system-level virtualization on Linux, Mac OS and Windows.
