I hope Rocket will be more stability oriented than Docker. After runing few hundreds containers on machine for almost a year know I would not chosen Docker again. Docker has stability issues all the time and it is taking months to solve them. Offering strace logs to developers without feedback and finally it was fixed by someone from outside the project. https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/7348 https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/7348 Allocating ports pops now and then every odd docker release: https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/8714 https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/8714 Even stupidest things like allowing to have more dockerfiles in one folder. https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/2112 https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/2112 Docker has own agenda and it is clearer and clearer.

> Even stupidest things like allowing to have more dockerfiles in one folder. Wow. That issue has been open for a long time.

  I've been involved in that ticket since the dark ages. There's a philosophical disconnect between how (some) people want to use Docker and how the maintainers want it to be used, and it comes to a head in that thread.

    I saw your articulate response in that thread. Thank you for that response. I don't need multiple dockerfiles right now, but if i invest more into docker, I will. I think your responses might have convinced shykes that the need won't be going away. There was a similar disconnect on data volumes a while ago that took some convincing before the discussion moved forward. It has always been trivial in OpenVZ to bind mount into a container (ie: share a very large read-only mount between containers).

    For anyone else trying to follow along (and still evaluating docker at a distance), start with this comment in that thread: https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/2112#issuecomment-39763037 https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/2112#issuecomment-39... It gets quite interesting, and it's still going 14 months later...
