Wine/CrossOver work under Docker under SL 7 the same as it would under VirtualBox with a full install of say MS Win 8.1 (soon MS Win 10)? Docker containers run on Linux (the kernel) so, no, if your application requires honest-to-badness MicroSoft Windows don't plan on using Docker. Can one make

On a different (albeit related) thread, the recommendation was made to use Docker to port alien applications and environments (presumably with the ISA and basic machine components used by SL7) to SL 7. Looking at the Docker documentation and license (license reproduced below), this seems

Using containers is nothing like using a fully virtualized kernel. It's using cgroups, kernel namespaces, and selinux to isolate applications within Linux and make them easier to deliver. So you can't run a windows app natively in docker. You'd have to run Wine in docker and execute your
