For a more full fledged use case FRRouting may be the way to go. We are using Quagga here mainly to maintain internal routes with iBGP and route reflectors. This is a fairly simple use case. Quagga is available in the default package mana

We have been working on a simplified container build system which does away with layers altogether. [1] The use of layers at the build stage adds a lot of needless complexity with very little benefits and users really need to step back and

We need to spin up a lot of VMs of various Linux distributions for testing Flockport and we found the existing tooling too heavy and involved. In the end we rolled our own solution that is much more lightweight, uses QEMU directly and provi

What is wrong with Docker? This does not address any technical or other shortcoming and only seeks to replace one set of over engineered tools with another with the exact same problems. [1] The is yet more of the ecosystem continuing to pus

This is where containers can help. Ubuntu ships with LXC and its relatively simple to download an Alpine Linux container and then install Nginx and you are set. Alternatively Flockport [self plug] provides an open source app store [1] for L

@vikrant Glad to hear that! Networking in Linux is incredibly feature rich and the LXC team have done a great job on container networking.

Layers are integral in Docker, layers were pushed as enabling reuse, composibility, 'immutability', every 'run' statement is a layer. They are not an implementation detail. Managing all these layers adds complexity and i

Docker was based on LXC and there are some important differences that should be more well known. The main difference is LXC boots an init in the namespace as the first process so you get a standard OS environment with multi-process support.

Layers are interesting but the benefits of layers are vastly overstated, you can achieve the same without layers and the overhead and complexity in image management. Piling layers upon layers to build a container is a really bad idea and a

Thanks for the feedback. This is far from negative. There is definitely value in comparative docs that lets users get a quick overview, and we will put one together. However we also want to start new conversations in the community about con

Glad to hear you are aware of Flockport. Flockport was initially conceived as an app store for LXC containers. This was still in the early days of containers when the awareness was just building. We always wanted to do more and our early vi
