Hi,

We do not have docker. On that note I also do not know what from docker you actually would like to have. Docker offers a linux native way to define images and share them among the community. These images themselves are not docker. Docker thus has been transformed into a set of Specifications under the Open Container Initiative (OCI). Docker has infact become outdated and does not implement all OCI Standards cleanly anymore. The main problem is that docker was never intended for multi-os/multi arch images which are supported by OCI but are a clutch to use in docker. If you ever used docker on a Raspberry PI You know what I mean :) Any port of docker will have the same restrictions as docker on Arm or FreeBSD does. Meaning you will have to have natively compatible images.

The code that Volker posted is my attempt to implement OCI standard specifications on top of out Native tooling. Please be aware that it is alpha Quality and does only work when releases are made. Master is not Guaranteed to build. Contributions are welcome. Also please note that I am currently re planning how I want this to work and port this to Rust rather than Go as this has been become the future language choice in illumos for non gate and also illumos-gate tooling.

If you would like to use something more Production ready, we have zadm which while it does not implement the OCI specs offers the same workflow. We also have SmartOS from Joyent which is a Distribution specifically made for this kind of image based workflow.


Hope this helps

just didn’t know where to look).  ’preciate it

You might want to look at this:
