"Repeatability is great, but who doesn't have that already?" Almost everyone. I think this is the heart of the misunderstanding right there. 99% of developers don't have access to a repeatable deployment system. When the

In docker's defense, it does much more than simply wrap lxc. It also handles logging, port allocation, container versioning, building containers from source code, data persistence, etc. Shipyard will have to re-implement all this (and

Speaking on behalf of the Docker project, I am very glad that the two first PaaS projects built on Docker happen to be led by Jeff, Daniel and Jonathan (for Flynn) and Gabriel's crew (for Deis). They are all active and helpful Docker c

The typical use case is to use Vagrant to spin up the machine which then runs docker. I wouldn't recommend managing Docker containers with Vagrant unless you're really heavily invested in a pure vagrant workflow and for some reaso

Yeah, it's hard to find the balance between "big picture" explanation and more concrete examples... This wiki page might help: it's full of various Docker resources: articles, tutorials, etc. https://github.co

Docker includes facilities for building, versioning, discovery, distribution and updates. So although it's very different from traditional package managers, yes, you can use it to distribute software.

Outside. It boots the server which will run your docker containers.

And it uses Docker as the package format. Awesome :)

In this case, the way to avoid fragmentation is not to merge but to standardize on the Docker APIs, just like Flynn does. Docker's job is to guarantee interop between PaaS-like components, so that you don't need to lock yourself i

Flynn apps are docker containers under the hood, so any docker container can be used to extend your Flynn deployment - including databases and pretty much any long-lived service you can think of. Take a look for http://index.dock

Believe it or not we (docker team) are not behind 80% of that PR - we wake up in the morning and find the stuff on HN just like you :) Not that I don't appreciate it - I just hope we can deliver on the high expectations!

Hi, I'm the lead maintainer of Docker. > The data? I can see postgres, redis or whatever being packaged up into containers, but what about the data that they use? Will there be attachable storage? Will you share some exposed resour

Docker will soon expose a simple API for service discovery and wiring. This will standardize 1) how containers look each other up and 2) how sysadmins specify the relationship. The actual wiring is done by a plugin, so you are free to choos

Docker does support setting arbitrary environment variables.

Yes it is very good news, especially for the Docker project. Docker is the reason I needed a CEO, and the reason Ben joined.

+1 on sticking to DEALER/ROUTER on top of a green-thread system like gevent. This is how zerorpc works [1], and it is the backbone of the dotCloud platform. Also note that most of the time PUB/SUB and PUSH/PULL are not a good

But you will only need 1 VM :) For realistic testing of a multi-component stack, performance gains start adding up very quickly. There's also the start/teardown time if you want to run tests from a clean environment repeatedly. In

I talked to Nick and we looked at what was causing the problems on his server. A few details on the investigation so far. 1. It's not caused by RethinkDB :) 2. It's not caused by cpu, ram or io load. The server is definitely takin

It worked for me 5 minutes ago.. But now doesn't work for me either. I think the demo server might be overloaded :)
