Docker vs Hadolint: What are the differences?

Docker: Enterprise Container Platform for High-Velocity Innovation. The Docker Platform is the industry-leading container platform for continuous, high-velocity innovation, enabling organizations to seamlessly build and share any application — from legacy to what comes next — and securely run them anywhere; Hadolint: A Static Analysis Tool for Dockerfiles in Haskell. A smarter Dockerfile linter that helps you build best practice Docker images. The linter is parsing the Dockerfile into an AST and performs rules on top of the AST. It is standing on the shoulders of Shellcheck to lint the Bash code inside RUN instructions.

Docker can be classified as a tool in the "Virtual Machine Platforms & Containers" category, while Hadolint is grouped under "Container Tools".

Docker and Hadolint are both open source tools. It seems that Docker with 54K GitHub stars and 15.6K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Hadolint with 2.28K GitHub stars and 99 GitHub forks.

Chose

over
DockerDocker

lxd/lxc and Docker aren't congruent so this comparison needs a more detailed look; but in short I can say: the lxd-integrated administration of storage including zfs with its snapshot capabilities as well as the system container (multi-process) approach of lxc vs. the limited single-process container approach of Docker is the main reason I chose lxd over Docker.
