Welcome to the discussion list for the Flocker project (https://github.com/ClusterHQ/flocker). Flocker is a lightweight volume and container manager. With it you can control your data using the same tools you use for your stateless applications. This means that you can run your databases, queues and key-value stores in Docker and move them around as easily as the rest of your app.

With Flocker's command line tools and a simple configuration language, you can deploy your Docker-based applications onto one or more hosts. Once deployed, your applications will have access to the volumes you have configured for them. Those volumes will follow your containers when you use Flocker to move them between different hosts in your Flocker cluster.

Flocker is being developed by ClusterHQ. We are a small team of engineers with experience running distributed systems and many of us are core contributors to the Twisted project.This project is under active development. You shouldn't use it in production. Contributions are welcome. We're looking forward to working on this project with you.
