Containerd: a daemon to control runC
- rwmj 11y agoWhy not use libvirtd, which does all that and a lot more, and is already present on just about every Linux distro? (more than likely already running on every Linux machine, if you are using virt or containers)
- binarycrusader 11y agoThis is just a guess, but I believe it's because of what you just said; "running on every Linux machine". Docker runs on more than Linux, and you need a solution that can manage containers everywhere.
- rwmj 11y agoFair enough, but libvirtd is written in C and reasonably portable and the project already ports all the client side stuff to Windows (so the project is not against portability patches, unlike, say, systemd-machined). Libvirtd has been around for 10 years so it's likely to be less buggy and better maintained than anything you can write from scratch.
