Roadmap: [Docker Open Source] Deprecate Docker App

[chris-crone]

Tell us about your request
The Docker App project started in mid-2018 with the goal of providing a packaging solution for Compose-based applications for our enterprise customers. With the company split at the end of 2019, we found that Docker App didn’t have a clear deployment story anymore. This led us to pause the project. We would now like to formally deprecate the project.

If you are an active user of Docker App, please let us know here about what you're using it for and how it's helping you.

Which service(s) is this request for?
Docker App

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?
Introduce more clarity about which open source tools we are developing actively, focus on tools that are being used and have active communities.

Are you currently working around the issue?
We are not maintaining this actively, but have not made it clear what the status and roadmap is.

If you'd like to continue using CNAB for packaging your applications, check out https://porter.sh

If anyone has questions about CNAB or migrating to Porter, definitely reach out on our mailing list, slack or forum. I’m a maintainer for both and am happy to help out however I can.

Here is a tutorial that walks you through the migration. It took me about 5 minutes to swap from Docker App's bundle definition file to Porter's, so hopefully it's a smooth transition for others as well!
