I use [Oh My Zsh](https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh) with the [Docker plugin](https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki/Plugins#docker) for autocompletion of docker commands. YMMV.

### Best Practices

Docker documentation: [Best practices for writing Dockerfiles](https://docs.docker.com/articles/dockerfile_best-practices/)

Best to look at [http://github.com/wsargent/docker-devenv](http://github.com/wsargent/docker-devenv) and the [best practices](http://crosbymichael.com/dockerfile-best-practices.html) / [take 2](http://crosbymichael.com/dockerfile-best-practices-take-2.html) for more details.

[Bridget Kromhout](https://twitter.com/bridgetkromhout) has a useful blog post on [running Docker in production](http://sysadvent.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/day-1-docker-in-production-reality-not.html) at Dramafever. There's also a best practices [blog post](http://developers.lyst.com/devops/2014/12/08/docker/) from Lyst.

If you use [jEdit](http://jedit.org), I've put up a syntax highlighting module for [Dockerfile](https://github.com/wsargent/jedit-docker-mode) you can use.

## Layers

The [versioned filesystem](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aufs) in Docker is based on layers. They're like [git commits or changesets for filesystems](https://docs.docker.com/terms/layer/).

Note that if you're using [aufs](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aufs) as your filesystem, Docker does not always remove data volumes containers layers when you delete a container! See [PR 8484](https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/8484) for more details.
