Docker Hub is a service provided by Docker for finding and sharing container images.

It's the world’s largest repository of container images with an array of content sources including container community developers, open source projects and independent software vendors (ISV) building and distributing their code in containers.

Docker Hub is also where you can go to [change your Docker account settings and carry out administrative tasks](admin-overview.md).
