Manage Tethys-sponsored Docker containers. To learn more about Docker, see `What is Docker? `_.
.. important::
You must have Docker installed and add your user to the ``docker`` group to use the Tethys ``docker`` command (see: `Install Docker `_ and `Post-installation steps for Linux `_).
Additionally, this feature requires the ``docker-py`` library to be installed. Starting with Tethys 5.0 or if you are using ``micro-tethys-platform``, you will need to install ``docker-py`` using conda as follows:
.. code-block:: bash
# conda: conda-forge channel strongly recommended
conda install -c conda-forge docker-py
.. argparse::
:module: tethys_cli
:func: tethys_command_parser
:prog: tethys
