No....a container has to run on a host. The host and the container have to run the same OS. The benefits come from the container being able to share the resources of the host instead of virtualizing the hardware in it's entirety. I'm not actually sure how big the benefits are. I'm dumb I suppose. I'm not following. What Bill said makes the most sense. Like Wine for Windows apps on Linux, this thing bundles up the app and all of it's dependancies and resources into a portable container. You can then run that on any compatible OS? Is there a server that has to "serve" them? -Ty On Wed, Jan 21, 2015 at 12:33 PM, Josh Baird < [email protected] > wrote: <blockquote> No, it's a container that can be ran within existing operating systems.
