Google Summer of Code 2025
In 2025 we collaborate with young developers under the auspices of the Google Summer of Code Programme. The aim of this project is to introduce developers to open source development and to add Docker support to the Consul Democracy software. Adding Docker support will be useful for any public organization who are not using Debian or Ubuntu on their servers, or for institutions who have adopted Docker as their preferred way to setup their servers to deploy Consul to production environments.

Descripción del proyecto
Dedicated Mentoring Program
Docker provides an effective way to deploy software solutions like Consul and it is gaining popularity. In this project we are collaborating with young developers admitted to the Google Summer of Code 2025 on adding full Docker support to our platform.
The aim of this project is to:
> make it possible to install and deploy Consul Democracy applications using Docker in the most simple way (probably with Kamal) and add a devcontainter for interration with Github Codespaces.
> introduce young developers to open source software development and collaborate on this concrete project.
> access young developer networks and gain visibility for the entire Consul Democracy project.
