Warden: CloudFoundry's Linux container library
- geku 13y agoWarden is similar to Docker, every container gets a read-only and a read-write filesystem assigned and Warden provides an API for creating and destroying containers.
- dallagi 13y agoIronically, Warden is also the name of the tool used in PC-BSD to manage FreeBSD Jails. http://wiki.pcbsd.org/index.php/Warden%C2%AE http://wiki.pcbsd.org/index.php/Warden%C2%AE
- _neil 13y agoProbably obvious, but there's another ruby project named Warden as well (handles user authentication): https://github.com/hassox/warden https://github.com/hassox/warden This project looks pretty cool, though.
- dallagi 13y agoYeah, I thought it was funny mostly cause FreeBSD Jails and Docker have really a lot of things in common
- andypiper 13y agojambay provides more info on Warden in this other HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6488258 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6488258
- geku 13y agothanks, much more accurate than my explanation.
- patrickg_zill 13y agoHas anyone used OpenVZ along with either ProxMox or the free openvz webpanel, as I have? With all the noise about LXC based solutions I wonder if some wouldn't be just as happy with OpenVZ.
- alinspired 13y agoopenvz doesn't seem to be known outside of hosting/hosters community, otherwise - it's quite a mature container engine
- shykes 13y agoThe ancestor of Docker at dotCloud ran on openvz. We moved to lxc in 2010 when it became usable. I think of them as mostly interchangeable except for the shared hosting use case where openvz has a head start (more time for more eyeballs to audit and fix it). Now the whole "openvz vs. lxc" distinction is pretty moot - linux has namespaces and cgroups. Everything else is a matter of choice of userland libraries and cli tools.
