I have been using Guix-generated reproducible Docker images for years. I'll never go back to using Docker directly.
Could you please elaborate what you mean by "runc-compatability layer"? And what about the docs requires clarification?
(I wrote the original Docker export backend for "guix pack", so I have an interest in improving this feature where necessary.)
- snicker7 5y agoI am referring to a hypothetical dockerless OCI compatability layer built on top of `guix shell --container` or `guix system container`. I sort of got this idea from runj [0], an attempt to create an OCI compatible runtime for FreeBSD jails. The main advantage is to use certain OCI-compatible tools (e.g. k8s) with Guix without needing to use Docker.
