Define your CI/CD environment with Docker

Semaphore has expanded its capabilities to allow Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) to run in any Docker image, supporting a wide range of technology stacks that operate with Docker. This enhancement leverages Docker's popularity in cloud application deployment by enabling developers to use consistent environments across development, CI/CD, and production, simplifying the process compared to using raw Docker commands. Semaphore facilitates the combination of multiple Docker containers into a single, networked environment, making it easier to manage complex projects that require various services. Users can define agents with customized Docker images and utilize Semaphore's container registry, which includes optimized pre-built images for CI/CD, while also supporting both public and private registry access. Although Docker-based agents are now integral to Semaphore's offerings, traditional Linux and macOS platforms will continue to be supported, with the Docker approach recommended for projects requiring significant software customization. Developers are encouraged to explore Semaphore's documentation to fully utilize these new Docker-based capabilities.
