title: Categories in Docker Hub
|
||
description: |
|
||
Categorizing your Docker Hub repositories makes it easier for users to
|
||
find your images based on its use cases and content.
|
||
keywords: hub, images, content, categories, explore, search
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
You can tag Docker Hub repositories with categories, representing the primary
|
||
intended use cases for your images. This lets users more easily find and
|
||
explore content for the problem domain that they're interested in.
|
||
|
||
## Available categories
|
||
|
||
The Docker Hub content team maintains a curated list of categories.
|
||
The available categories are:
|
||
|
||
- **API Management**: Tools for creating, publishing, analyzing, and securing APIs.
|
||
- **Content Management System:** Software applications to create and manage digital content through templates, procedures, and standard formats.
|
||
- **Data Science:** Tools and software to support analyzing data and generating actionable insights.
|
||
- **Databases & Storage:** Systems for storing, retrieving, and managing data.
|
||
- **Languages & Frameworks:** Programming language runtimes and frameworks.
|
||
- **Integrations & Delivery:** Tools for Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD).
|
||
- **Internet of Things:** Tools supporting Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
|
||
- **Machine Learning & AI:** Tools and frameworks optimized for artificial intelligence and machine learning projects, such as pre-installed libraries and frameworks for data analysis, model training, and deployment.
|
||
- **Message Queues:** Message queuing systems optimized for reliable, scalable, and efficient message handling.
|
||
- **Monitoring & Observability:** Tools to track software and system performance through metrics, logs, and traces, as well as observability to explore the system’s state and diagnose issues.
|
||
- **Networking:** Repositories that support data exchange and connecting computers and other devices to share resources.
|
||
- **Operating Systems:** Software that manages all other programs on a computer and serves as an intermediary between users and the computer hardware, while overseeing applications and system resources.
|
||
- **Security:** Tools to protect a computer system or network from theft, unauthorized access, or damage to their hardware, software, or electronic data, as well as from service disruption.
|
||
- **Web Servers:** Software to serve web pages, HTML files, and other assets to users or other systems.
|
||
- **Web Analytics:** Tools to collect, measure, analyze, and report on web data and website visitor engagement.
|
||
|
||
## Auto-generated categories
|
||
|
||
> **Note**
|
||
>
|
||
> Auto-generated categories only apply to Docker Verified Publishers and
|
||
> Docker-Sponsored Open Source program participants.
|
||
|
||
For repositories that pre-date the Categories feature in Docker Hub,
|
||
categories have been automatically generated and applied, using OpenAI, based
|
||
on the repository title and description.
|
||
|
||
As an owner of a repository that has been auto-categorized, you can manually
|
||
edit the categories if you think they're inaccurate. See [Manage categories for
|
||
a repository](#manage-categories-for-a-repository).
|
||
|
||
The auto-generated categorization was a one-time effort to help seed categories
|
||
onto repositories created before the feature existed. Categories are not
|
||
assigned to new repositories automatically.
|
||
|
||
## Manage categories for a repository
|
||
|
||
You can tag a repository with up to three categories.
|
||
|
||
To edit the categories of a repository:
|
||
|
||
1. Go to the repository page on Docker Hub.
|
||
2. Select the pencil icon under the description field.
|
||
3. Select the categories you want to apply.
|
||
4. Select **Update** to save the changes.
