Hey, that sounds like a really great project. I would love to hear more! Feel free to email me at solomon@docker.com

Thanks for the kind words! Yes, we are actually working on exposing our high-level roadmap publicly. We are currently testing a public Trello board, but the choice of tool is not yet final. All of this is being discussed openly on the #dock

I'm really glad you brought this up! This topic is actually very relevant to what we're trying to do with Docker. Think of it this way: we (the creators of an open-source project) have built for our project an infrastructure capab

In addition to the funding, we have bet on a Linux-style development model where the project is not just open source but open design: ownership is federated across key individuals with strong ownership over particular subsystems, with very

Docker author here. I really doubt performance would be a problem. Namespaced linux processes access devices the same way every other process does: by getting a file descriptor to it and making syscalls against that. What we need to figure

You could build a matlab docker container and limit memory with 'docker run -m 512M delirium/matlab' :) See http://docker.io

What does a typical packer config file look like for building a docker container? I think of it as a useless abstraction on top of docker, but that's probably because I only generate containers and don't need the other packer targ

That's incorrect. Everything which makes this proposal suitable for clustering also works for links with the ambassador pattern. The difference is in how the local discovery is implemented (retrieve a local IP address and port vs. hard

Hi, Docker author here. This is a perfect example of how we're trying to design Docker: by looking for the right balance between evolution and revolution. Evolution means it has to fit into your current way of working and thinking. Rev

Docker has a facility to build containers automatically from source. As long as you have access to the source and it has a Dockerfile, you can rebuild the container itself after making all the changes you want (including security fixes).

Oops, sorry about that! We'll fix it.

Yeah, having a Darwin build of the docker client is useful but it's only the first step in our OSX support, we need to add a few more things before "zero to docker" feels really seamless on a Mac. Specifically we need to bund

You hit the nail on the head. This approach of containers as a "static binary on steroids" is a major aspect of my motivation in docker's design. I hope this will become more obvious as we progress in the implementation.

Yes, I literally mean from source. The source, in turn, can either 1) specify a base image to start from (keeping in mind the base image can recursively be itself built from source), or 2) start from scratch and contain all the starting bit

Just raw virtualbox - I point to the ISO as a virtual drive. It looks like they're also working on a script to automate this - like a mini-Vagrant but which always boots the same image :)

This "marketing vs. engineering" debate is much wider than just Docker, I think, and it's a big concern for me. My big worry is that Docker becomes a target of unfair criticism just because it's successful and hyped beyo

You're right, today there are many systems which cannot run docker. There are several things we are doing to remediate that. Obviously there are no miracles, if you run a kernel which doesn't support namespacing, you won't ge

Docker does this. * With docker build you can automate the building of a docker container from source. Simply add a Dockerfile to your source to specify exactly how to assemble it, step by step. This can be done with the high-level buil
