Re: Docker Tutorials
#2I've been trying to follow docker since I first saw it here on HN and I love the concept. I think I have a fair idea of what it is and how it works, but I think it will take some time for me to really wrap my head around the concept of containers vs VMs, though I think I have a decent grasp of the basics.
I think what will really help, and what I think is sadly missing from this list, is a good series of examples of what I could accomplish with docker, and how I would go about accomplishing those things.
Or, it may be that docker is not necessarily aimed at me, or is currently out of my depth.

That looks like what I'm after, thank you.

In case the way I word it helps, containers are a very similar concept to FreeBSD jails or Solaris Zones - so once you get what a container is you may appreciate some of the power that already existed in those systems. It's essentially a partition of the system: picture a kernel, but an additional instance of the network stack for each container, a certain mount-point that becomes the "root" file system for all actions inside that container, etc.
In the end you get very similar functionality to a VM, but because it's just partitions of a kernel it's much more integrated than some third-party hypervisor. This lets you do things like inspect processes that are inside your containers as though they were native processes, etc...

#6Docker will be amazing for development over VMs once they get bindings: https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/pull/602

Thanks, that cleared it up for me at least.

I recommend reading https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroups/cgroups.txt and the per-namespace documentation linked to at http://lxc.sourceforge.net/index.php/about/kernel-namespaces...

If you're having trouble wrapping your head around containers, look for documentation on LXC, not docker.
