Founders
Dockware is built and maintained by dasistweb, a Shopware partner since 2012 (currently at Gold level) and co-developer of Shopware 6 since 2018. We've been shipping Shopware projects for 14+ years. Dockware is the dev setup we built for ourselves first, then for the community.
The People Behind Dockware
Martin Weinmayr
Founder, Developer, CEO of dasistweb GmbH
Martin wrote the first version of Dockware. He shaped the architecture and solved most of the hard problems along the way. The reason Dockware "just works" for so many Shopware devs is usually that Martin already had a strong opinion on how it should work, long before the first Docker image was pushed.
He still writes code in the core of Dockware today. He also runs dasistweb, the Shopware agency behind the project. Long-time Shopware developer, Shopware 6 co-developer since 2018.

"We built Dockware because spinning up a fresh Shopware environment on a Monday morning shouldn't cost you two coffees and your good mood."
Christian Dangl
Founder, Core Contributor
Christian is a well-known name in the Shopware community. Conference speaker, PHP developer, and a solid contributor to Dockware v2. If you've opened an issue on GitHub in the last couple of years, there's a good chance you've talked to him.

Why Dockware Exists
Before Dockware, every new Shopware developer we onboarded lost two or three days on environment setup. Wrong PHP version, broken permissions, MySQL not talking to Elasticsearch, that one colleague's laptop where it "just works" for reasons nobody can explain.
We got tired of it. So we built our own Docker images. Opinionated, pre-installed with demo data, versioned per Shopware release. First just for us. Then the Shopware community asked us to open-source it. So we did.
Today Dockware is used by freelancers, agencies, and in-house dev teams across the Shopware ecosystem. It stays free, open, and actively maintained because we use it ourselves, every day, on real client projects.
