Open-Source Docker Book for Hacktoberfest

Hacktoberfest: Contribution Chronicles

This is a submission for the 2025 Hacktoberfest Writing Challenge: Contribution Chronicles

I published my book Docker and Kubernetes Security on October 1st, 2025. While I was talking to the Docker community about it, many mentioned that they want to write their own book and want to know more about my build pipeline.

I have used Markdown to write the book. It was then transcribed into LaTeX code and from there to PDF, ensuring a high-quality document for print.

Many also mentioned that the book is advanced, and they lack the basic knowledge of Docker to start with it. That's why I came up with this idea:

Let's create an open-source Docker book.

And this is what I did for Hacktoberfest 2025.

TL;DR

The repo is here:

It contains sample content (so far) and the build pipeline. I'll add the chapter contents in the coming months to create an open-source Docker book.

Contribute

Everyone is welcome to contribute. So far, the setup is local, but I'm working on a Docker-based build to make it platform-agnostic. If you have any questions, please write to me.
