Docker doesn't require you to run an entire distro in your container. It's what a lot of people do out of the box because it's convenient and familiar. But as far as docker is concerned your container can be a single static b

That's correct (I'm the @solomonstre in question :). We do our best to not imply the contrary by accident. Docker is a clean slate which incorporates all our operational learnings from dotcloud - but it is a full rewrite and this

Hey Craig, speaking on behalf of the docker project: we are busy filling the "docker gap" you speak about. There are currently many businesses aspiring to offer infrastructure to docker users. What we're doing is giving the

I really like this approach to the gender imbalance problem: grow the pool, don't lower the bar. I think this is the way to go, and I hope that more tech organizations will think of it this way.

Most of the action is on the #docker irc channel on Freenode.

There is an ongoing project to bundle Docker with Tiny core linux, which is even more lightweight than coreos. Meanwhile there is also work to add clustering capabilities to docker.

Docker is compiled statically so will definitely work on busybox :)

We recommend using vagrant as a simple vm management tool, to quickly get a simple VM on your machine. If your host can already run docker containers, you don't need vagrant.

by shykes 13y ago
The dominant workflow in docker-land is to ditch the Vagrantfile, use a Dockerfile instead, and sometimes use Vagrant when it helps you get a VM up and running with docker on it (but that Vagrantfile is typically the same across all proje

I am flattered, but we are already well funded and are not currently looking for new investors. However if you're feeling generous I can point you to a few people who have been making awesome contributions to Docker on their free time.

> One thing that confuses me with Docker is that how do you configure your containers to communicate with each other. Docker now supports linking containers together: http://blog.docker.io/2013/10/docker-0-6-5

Timing is definitely part of it. Being too early can kill you. If you think your idea is awesome but too early, my advice is to keep trying for as long as it takes. Docker was not my first attempt at solving this particular problem :) [1] [

There is a new feature of Docker called Links which allows you to organize your stack in multiple containers and "link" them together so they can discover and connect to each other. There's a great explanation here: http:&

We spent 3 months going door to door, making demos to people I knew were working on similar projects or looking for one. We had a good reputation in the ops and systems engineering community because of our work on dotCloud over the last 6 y

Me and my team work full-time on a popular open-source project. Based on our collective experience I can tell you about 3 different ways. - The first way is to become a key contributor and maintainer for an open-source project with signific

Those are not mutually exclusive :) dotCloud is quite stable and mature, so running and maintaining it at the quality standards of our customers (including support, 24/7 ops, bug fixes, etc.) requires surprisingly little resources. Lit

That was the exact purpose of the introductory line " Brought to you courtesy of our legal counsel. " :) Coincidentally we just tweaked the language to match Apache and OpenSSL. It's pretty similar, but doesn't specifica

It depends on your definition of "back-burner". DotCloud might no longer be one of the most innovative PaaS, adding features left and right like it used to - but there's no reason it can't continue to be a reliable place

There is definitely a hack :) You should join the #docker channel on irc (freenode) and ask for keeb or jpetazzo, they can help you out. If they don't, someone else probably will. People are very nice and useful there.

Hey, sorry to hear that you didn't get docker to work! If you want to try again, feel free to come by our irc channel, #docker on freenode. The people there are very nice and will be happy to help you out.
