agreed - redis is a single binary with minimal dependencies, this seems like so much more work for no gain.

- akerl_ 12y agoI'm comparing "statically compiled redis" with "statically compiled libcontainer + redis container", which appears to be what this is. I can see a lot of benefits for statically compiling something, redis included, I just don't see what the addition of libcontainer provides.
- b0ba1lle 12y agoIt provides just as much addition as running redis in a docker container. As for the "libcontainer explicitly doesn't claim security as a feature" do you have a source for this I'm curious ? Running things in containers provide isolation and should provide an extra layer of security (I no expert so prove me I'm wrong :) ). In the future it can provide resources isolation (CPU, memory ...). Also, at scale, I don't know anyone who is ready to setup namespaces and stuff manually.
