Is CraftCMS free and open source?
Not by the OSI definition. CraftCMS is source-available rather than open source: its code is public under the Craft License, which is not an OSI-approved open-source license. This is a custom license: the source is public, but it adds conditions that OSI-approved licenses do not, such as limits on commercial, hosted or production use. Read it before you deploy. Check the license in the repository before using it commercially.
Can I run CraftCMS with Docker?
CraftCMS does not list an official Docker image. It installs natively (PHP), so follow the install steps in its README or look for a community-maintained container.
