Build Environments
CircleCI lets you customize the execution environment to match the needs of your software, using any Docker image, a Linux VM, or a macOS VM. Whether you’re building a website, a multi-platform mobile app, or systems software, CircleCI gives you a clean, customizable environment for every job.
Run your jobs in any Docker image
Each job on CircleCI can specify any Docker image as the runtime environment, including support for private images. Use one of our (pre-built images for most popular languages) or use your own image hosted on Docker Hub or other accessible registry.
