`OSGeoLive <http://live.osgeo.org/>`_ is a self-contained bootable DVD, USB thumb drive or Virtual Machine based on Lubuntu,
that allows you to try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything.

It is composed entirely of free software, allowing it to be freely distributed, duplicated and passed around.

It provides pre-configured applications for a range of geospatial use cases, including storage, publishing, viewing, analysis and
manipulation of data.

It also contains sample datasets and documentation.

To try out the applications, simply:

* Insert DVD or USB thumb drive in computer or virtual machine.
* Reboot computer. (verify boot device order if necessary)
* Press :guilabel:`Enter` to startup & login.
* Select and run applications from the :guilabel:`Geospatial` menu.

`OSGeoLive <http://live.osgeo.org/>`_ is an `OSGeo Foundation <http://osgeo.org/>`_ project.
The `OSGeo Foundation <http://osgeo.org/>`_ is a not-for-profit supporting Geospatial Open Source Software development, promotion and `education <http://www.geoforall.org/>`_.

Introducing main concepts
.........................

A container image is a lightweight, stand-alone, executable package of a piece of software that includes everything needed to run it: code, runtime, system tools, system libraries, settings.

Docker containers running on a single machine share that machine's operating system kernel; they start instantly and use less compute and RAM.

Containers can share a single kernel, and the only information that needs to be in a container image is the executable and its package dependencies, which never need to be installed on the host system.

Multiple containers can run on the same machine and share the OS kernel with other containers, each running as isolated processes in user space.

The following tutorials will introduce the use of Docker community edition on:

* :doc:`Ubuntu 18.04 </install/core/docker/ubuntu>`

* :doc:`CentOS 7.0 </install/core/docker/centos>`

GeoNode provides also an advanced stack of Docker containers for a more stable, production-like setup:

* :doc:`SPCGeoNode </install/spc/index>`
