Melbourne Docker User Group

# Welcome to the Melbourne Docker User Group

We are a local community for developers, students, and tech workers in Melbourne. It does not matter if you work at a large company in Cremorne or study at a university in Parkville. If you build software, this group is for you.

We know that software is changing fast. In 2026, we focus on more than just basic containers. We look at how Docker helps with Artificial Intelligence (AI), security, and building your own apps.

### Who is this group for?

You do not need to be an expert to join. We welcome:

• AI Creators: You use Python and Docker to run AI models and agents on your computer.
• System Builders: You manage large systems and care about keeping software safe and secure.
• Indie Developers: You build apps by yourself using simple, low-cost tools.
• Students: You are learning to code and want to understand the skills employers look for today.
• Vibe Coders: You are running agents and building new tools, but you want to keep things secure.

### What happens at our events?

We meet in person because face-to-face trust is important in the Melbourne tech village. Here is what you can expect:

• Live Demos: We prefer to show how things work instead of just talking about them. We like to see real coding, even if mistakes happen.

• Simple Explanations: We break down hard topics. We explain how AI agents talk to software and how to stop hackers.

• Career Growth: Meet people who can help you solve a problem or find your next job.

### Our Community Rules

We are a friendly space. There are no "bad" questions here. We believe in helping each other learn, from fixing a small error to building a large system.

Join us at our next meetup. Let’s build something together.
