## `%%IMAGE%%:<version>-cli`

This image contains the Docker client command line interface (CLI) and Docker CLI plugins like `buildx` and `compose`. This is useful if you need to interact with a remote Docker engine but aren't planning to run the Docker engine in the container.

# Image Variants

The `%%IMAGE%%` images come in many flavors, each designed for a specific use case.

**Note:**: The `*stable`, and `*test` tags have been deprecated since June 2020 (see [docker-library/docker#179](https://github.com/docker-library/docker/pull/179)) and were no longer updated in December 2020 when Docker 20.10 was released. The alternative to `stable` is to use `latest` (there was no difference when it was deprecated). You can also use the `cli`, and `dind` tags to get the latest Docker CLI or engine, respectively. The alternative to the `test` tags is to use the `rc` tag or a tag with `-rc` in it. The `rc` tag is only updated when there is an active pre-release and will not point to the same thing as `latest`.
