dockersh vs Flocker: What are the differences?
Developers describe dockersh as "A shell which places users into individual docker containers". dockersh is designed to be used as a login shell on machines with multiple interactive users. When a user invokes dockersh, it will bring up a Docker container (if not already running), and then spawn a new interactive shell in the container's namespace. On the other hand, Flocker is detailed as "Run your databases in Docker and make them as portable as the rest of your app". Flocker is a data volume manager and multi-host Docker cluster management tool. With it you can control your data using the same tools you use for your stateless applications. This means that you can run your databases, queues and key-value stores in Docker and move them around as easily as the rest of your app.
dockersh and Flocker can be categorized as "Container" tools.
dockersh and Flocker are both open source tools. It seems that Flocker with 3.19K GitHub stars and 287 forks on GitHub has more adoption than dockersh with 1.28K GitHub stars and 76 GitHub forks.
