I always thought this was Orchard: http://www.orchardproject.net/ http://www.orchardproject.net/

I was also very confused, and the first google search for Orchard was the one you came across. My first thought was, "this is an .Net CMS, I thought docker was unix-based?" Then I was like, Okay, let's go see what "Fig" is. None of the links on the first search page were for Fig. I got everything from food websites, stock codes, to random content-spam URLs with Fig in it. I'm sorry, but these guys really picked bad names for their products. It's really ridiculous because those names have well-established meanings. Sure, if they get famous enough, their rankings will make their alternate-meaning of those words bubble up. But until then, they're invisible to most of the web. Heck, the linked article doesn't even have a link to Orchard, but rather to a blog post on their domain. If anyone really struggles, here are their links: http://www.fig.sh/ http://www.fig.sh/ https://www.orchardup.com/ https://www.orchardup.com/ *Edit: Searching for "Fig Software" led me to software companies with "Fig" in it, and some Facebook pages. Again, not the actual Fig I was looking for.

  Naming projects without any collisions is really hard to do, unless you like names like 'e31239'.

    I'm pretty sure the Orchard link wasn't there when I first read the article. I distinctly remember searching through the page for Fig and Orchard. The way I actually found Orchard was through the linked blog post near the bottom of the article, then cut out the blog part of the URL to go to their main domain.
