--- Comment #6 from Mateusz Kwiatkowski <kwia...@panic.pl> --- (In reply to Samuel Karp from comment #5) > Docker, Inc. sponsors an "Official Images" program that publishes images to > Docker Hub. The program is managed on GitHub [1] and would enable a FreeBSD > developer to be in control of the images. The advantage of going through the > "Official Images" program is the use of a short name that most of the > container ecosystem will recognize (for example, "docker pull debian" > implicitly pulls the "Official Image" of Debian located at > docker.io/library/debian [2]; FreeBSD could have the "freebsd" short name). That's what I'm thinking about as a long term goal of OCI@FreeBSD project. I think that for that matter core team should be engaged. Ed is already subscribing this issue so let's wait for his input. > I'm still new to FreeBSD, so my apologies for asking a stupid question.

I have been running jails with base systems lagging several major versions behind host system and 99% of software was working fine. I only recall problems with network related apps from base like netstat, sockstat - there were probably some struct changes. Backwards compatibility is one of FreeBSD's selling points but I think that spec should include os.version and by default refuse to launch old images in sake of security and to encourage users to run supported versions. > I believe Luca was referring to the image spec [7], which already includes > os.version in the index platform object. I'm generating OCI images [8], but > not currently including os.version. Ok, I agree. I'll add it to my images. > For the runtime config, agreed! I'd be happy to collaborate on this with you. I think I already asked on Github, but I'll repeat. :-) What do you think on creating #freebsd channel in OCI Slack? We can also have #freebsd-oci on freenode if you prefer IRC. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
