#2The vision seems to be docker on top of rancher on top of docker? Afraid I can't see how this would help? Unless it's just to inspire "yo dawg" Xzibit jokes? b^)

#3I went to have a snoop around the code but all I can really see is installation files. Genuine question, is this project closed source?
I haven't really worked with Docker in anger yet - but I guess I could pull down the files / run it and then take a look inside to see how it works.
Is there a link to the original code? Is there a risk that projects are going to start to be released in a way where it's going to take jumping through a couple of hoops to see how they work?
I don't want to sound disparaging to the project (it sounds interesting). I was just curious in having a really quick glance at the code to see if it was something I wanted to keep an eye on.

Seems like some of the source code of different components are here: https://github.com/rancherio
* Agent: https://github.com/rancherio/rancher-agent
* Cattle: https://github.com/rancherio/cattle

I think it's more in the vein of "manage the docker containers you are deploying with rancher, which is itself another docker container to keep consistent with the entire environment being in docker"

A docker container can manage the docker installation on the host. This is done by binding the docker.sock from the host to the container with the following command line argument: `-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock`

#7Looking forward to the Volume Management and Load Balancing features. Keep up the good work.

Of course it can. The question is, why would you want to?

Guessing so that installation process is portable and isolated from original host.

#10Off topic to rancher maybe but how about [a tool for] treating (packaging) docker images as [Debian/rpm] packages, at least persistent images (images that are not one shot jobs) ?
Some of the images workflow as deploying/removing from a host, replacing existing images (upgrades), dependency management (app image v1.0 depends on Nginx image v2.0), metadata like OS startup scripts (pg image needs to start on boot) seems to already be covered by apt/rpm and that tools like Ansible/others leverage for deployments in infrastructures.
