Thanks, Docker is a great tool for booting up a container using LXC, you can refer to it as a very light vm focused on a specific task. You can script in minutes a way to boot a program by targetting a specific OS from any GNU/Linux
For instance here is a Dockerfile to - bootup an archlinux container - upgrading packages - copy a nginx conf file - clone sugarizer repository - expose nginx to port 80 on the host [ohayon_m@ohayon-m-thinkpad /tmp]$ cat Dockerfile FROM base/archlinux:latest RUN yes | pacman -Syy RUN yes | pacman -S gcc nodejs openssh mongodb supervisor nginx git COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf RUN cd /opt; git clone https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer.git RUN cd /opt/sugarizer/server; npm install RUN mkdir /opt/sugarizer/db EXPOSE 80 CMD ["/usr/bin/nginx"] [ohayon_m@ohayon-m-thinkpad /tmp]$ Each modification of a container is handled like a git commit so you can rollback at any time and launch specific snapshots. It has a "cache system". It will bootup almost instantly after the container is build. I see it like a great tool to setup an env without having to script install for every OS or if you don't want to install every lib/framework/etc in your OS just for some testing. It can be used in production and manage/scale with the new tools : Docker Swarm and Docker Compose Hope you'll find it usefull ! -- Michaël Ohayon Manager de l'Innovation Cloud et Mobilité Epitech Innovation Hub 2015-04-30 21:00 GMT+02:00 Gonzalo Odiard <godi...@sugarlabs.org>: > Hi Michaël, > Welcome! > > Few months later, I joined the Docker Paris Hackathon and had built >> Sugarizer and Sugar containers (with graphical support for the Sugar one). >> >> > Interesting.
