I thought I'd share a few cool hacks built on top of Docker:<p>Hipache: <a href="https://index.docker.io/u/samalba/hipache/" rel="nofollow">https://index.docker.io/u/samalba/hipache/</a><p>Heroku buildpacks on Docker: <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/docker-club/SBn9K160bs8" rel="nofollow">https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/docker-c...</a><p>Ready-to-use OpenCV build with python bindings: <a href="https://index.docker.io/u/steeve/opencv/" rel="nofollow">https://index.docker.io/u/steeve/opencv/</a>
In addition to the public search index and support for data volumes, this release also includes an open-source version of the registry. So anyone can host their containers privately without depending on the central registry.
I recently asked for a recipe for running GUI apps e.g. browsers in dockers. Here's how:<p><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16296753/can-you-run-gui-apps-in-a-docker" rel="nofollow">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16296753/can-you-run-gui-...</a><p>(Yeah, it got closed. Oh well, Stackoverflow colour me surprised)
I'm glad Docker is getting this level of attentions. I like that they have focused on making building and managing containers easy, and that this functionality stands alone. Compare this to, e.g. Red Hat's OpenShift, which implements a similar container system but bundles it as part of a larger PaaS platform.<p><a href="https://www.openshift.com/wiki/architecture-overview" rel="nofollow">https://www.openshift.com/wiki/architecture-overview</a><p><a href="https://www.openshift.com/wiki/introduction-to-cartridge-building" rel="nofollow">https://www.openshift.com/wiki/introduction-to-cartridge-bui...</a>
I like the new description line of "Docker is an open-source engine which automates the deployment of applications as highly portable, self-sufficient containers" better than the old one: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5609995" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5609995</a>. "Improved, as promised" seems to a major theme here. :)
What's the catch? Where can I read something about the limitations of Docker? Where will it leaking through that you're running in a shared container?<p>I can see some things; the containers will be sharing kernel resources (FS/IO buffers, kernel config etc) but is that all?
