Docker 0.6: Events API, registry improvements, expert mode, security updates.
- shykes 13y agoHi everybody, this is quite a monster of a release: 378 commits by 40 different people :) Here's the full release pull request if you're interested: https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/pull/1628 https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/pull/1628
- nacs 13y agoI've been meaning to try this for a while now but the release of your new Ubuntu repo (as opposed to PPA, details here for other Ubuntu users: http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/installation/ubuntulinux/ http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/installation/ubuntulinux/ ) has convinced me to finally install. Congrats on the release. Love how fast the docker team is updating.
- shykes 13y agoThanks! Out of curiosity, what's your reasoning for preferring a custom repo instead of a PPA?
- golubbe 13y agoWhat makes this especially exciting for me is that >80% of those people are from the community (i.e. not dotCloud employees).
- timClicks 13y agoCan anyone point to an evaluation of the various orchestration/wiring tools mentioned in the post, e.g. "Orchestra, Shipper, Deis, Pipeworks, etc"?
- nickstinemates 13y agoI haven't seen one, Tim, but I'd love to see it. Will you volunteer? :)
- timClicks 13y agoAdded to weekend projects list. ETA mid-October.
- codexon 13y agoWhen is the AUFS requirement going to be removed? Ubuntu is going to drop it in the near future. So the idea of rebooting all servers to install a custom kernel with AUFS makes me not even want to try it.
- eikenberry 13y agoAny references on why they are dropping it and what they are replacing it with?
- nickstinemates 13y agoReplacing with <insert your choice here> via plugin[1] 1: http://blog.docker.io/2013/08/getting-to-docker-1-0/ http://blog.docker.io/2013/08/getting-to-docker-1-0/
- WestCoastJustin 13y agoI assume they are dropping it to allow much wider adoption. Docker makes use of AUFS for many of its cool features, like quickly spinning up containers, snapshots, diffs, etc. Ubuntu is dropping AUFS support in its stock kernels [1], and RHEL (CentOS, SL, etc) does not have support for AUFS in their stock kernels [2], and it is a major pain to try and add it (i.e. not even a simple recompile, you need custom patches, etc). So, given these two issues, you run the risk of alienating your user base pretty quickly.

- eikenberry 13y agoI was talking about why Ubuntu was dropping AUFS, not why docker was. I've been following the UnionFS area in Linux for awhile now and AUFS still seems to be the only viable option. So I was asking to find out if Ubuntu expects one of the alternatives to be ready soon.

- johnpmayer 13y agoIt's worth pointing out that there's now a digitalocean pre-configured image with Docker.
- nickstinemates 13y agoThis is so cool. I'll be picking one up.
- contingencies 13y agoGiven the recent thread I'm interested in what the security updates were given that the word security doesn't occur in the changelog. Can someone closer to the source please explain?
- nickstinemates 13y agoFrom the blog post: > We have tightened Docker’s default access control configuration, to make it more suitable for use on a host machine shared with untrusted applications. Running docker commands now requires either root privileges, or a user account included in the “docker” group. > This means that after upgrading to 0.6, you will need sudo to run docker commands. > Don’t worry, you can revert your configuration with the “-H” flag. Just make sure you understand the security implications!
