LXC 3.0.0 has been released

https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/lxc-3-0-0-has-been-released/1449

two things are very beautiful and remarkable:

1) new build system: https://github.com/lxc/distrobuilder

it would be great to see it integrated with the proxmox web interface

2) oci container; translate: can pull images from docker hub.

there are already plans around these two features?

The second one is very remarkable.

What for exactly? We already provide templates for all major OS.

Those are optimized for docker,so I think you should run them inside docker.

yes obv but not a tool for making template or modify an existing one (yes debootstrap but not exactly user friendly).
My idea is:
the distrobuilder tools is like ansible yaml, so we can build a part of web interface to interact with distrobuilder and create template;
in the beginning time only for add package, after config files etc

Those are optimized for docker,so I think you should run them inside docker.

i don't understand this, a docker file i just bunch of customization on libcontaier/runc.. (https://www.opencontainers.org/)
this is the future of container protocol/lib/spec or not?

thanks for your time and sorry for my bad english

I really like Docker and I am a heavy user, but it does not quite compare to lxc to me. You run a single app inside a docker container, no init system, nothing else. With lxc, you get the whole OS stack and can run complex apps (classical LAMP,...) including config management, updates and so on. But if this works, I'll test it for sure

DAB is okay, but too limiting. Having a generic tool would be great, also in terms of development, as its spread onto more shoulders

we'll take a closer look at whether distrobuilder fulfills our needs soon. I don't think any of us are opposed to having a general purpose wrapper around the various distro bootstrapping tools, and if distrobuilder works well enough, we will evaluate packaging it in addition to or instead of the existing *ab packages.

LXC templates contains a complete operating system (fully functional), whereas docker container are just a bunch of files. So I don't really think docker is the future.

Depends...i think it's 2 different tools for different use cases...i like to use both of them but mixing up might not be a good idea.
