Welcome to Dockstore Documentation!

Note

Our code lives on GitHub at dockstore/dockstore and dockstore/dockstore-ui2.

Dockstore is an open platform used by the GA4GH for sharing reproducible and interoperable tools, workflows, and services. For tools and workflows, we support Common Workflow Language (CWL), Workflow Description Language (WDL), Nextflow (NFL), and Galaxy.

If this is your first time learning about Dockstore, we recommend starting with the Getting Started Guide. This will introduce you to the core concepts of Dockstore, leaving you with a good understanding of the platform. However, if you are simply looking to launch tools and workflows, we recommend going straight to the End User Topics or our quickstart guide.
