Docker Who

The names of Docker. When you create a Docker container, if you did not specify a name yourself, Docker will automatically generate a name for you. This generator lives here: https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/pkg/namesgenerator/names-generator.go

What many may not realize is the names are a tribute to renowned scientists from around the world past and present.

This tool is just a way to further pay tribute and provide a way for accessing the information about these scientists.

To use, take a name that was generated by Docker, e.g. romantic_wozniak, and run it as an argument to this program.

docker-who romantic_wozniak

or also

docker-who wozniak
