### Is Kitematic open source?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Yes! Our source code is available on
|
||
|
|
[GitHub](https://github.com/kitematic/kitematic). Kitematic is open source
|
||
|
|
software released under the Apache 2.0 license.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### How can I contribute to Kitematic?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We always welcome (and deeply appreciate!) new contributions to the project. The
|
||
|
|
best way to start contributing to Kitematic is to review our doc on <a href="https://github.com/kitematic/kitematic/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md">contributing</a>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### How does Kitematic work with Docker?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kitematic connects directly to a running instance of Docker and controls it via
|
||
|
|
the Docker Engine API.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Which platforms does Kitematic support?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Right now Kitematic works on macOS and Windows. Linux is planned in the
|
||
|
|
future. Review our product <a
|
||
|
|
href="https://github.com/kitematic/kitematic/blob/master/ROADMAP.md">roadmap</a>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Why does Kitematic collect usage analytics and bug reports?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kitematic tracks anonymous errors and analytics to help understand why things go
|
||
|
|
wrong and to help understand how users are interacting with the app so we can
|
||
|
|
continuously make it better.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can opt-out of this anytime via the in-app preferences.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### What we DON'T collect
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Personal information: any information that would allow us to determine a
|
||
|
|
specific user of Kitematic
|
||
|
|
- Information or data relating to code, containers, or Docker images opened via
|
||
|
|
Kitematic.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### What we DO collect
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Anonymous events for actions in the app. We never collect data associated with
|
||
|
|
events. For example:
|
||
|
|
- User searched for images (but not what the search query was).
|
||
|
|
- User created a container (but not which image, the name of the container or
|
||
|
|
any data involved)
|
||
|
|
- User opened the preferences pane
|
||
|
|
- User deleted a container
|
||
|
|
- Errors names, messages & stack traces (scrubbed for user names)
|
||
|
|
- Operating System, Kitematic and installed VirtualBox versions
|
||
|
|
|
||
