Oki, I've never looked at lxc, I was under the impression that docker used to build on lxc in the past. Is that not true any longer? Is there a template included for Arch? That would be quite nice because building the docker image for Arch is a bit ugly I'd say.... Finally, what about running a 32bit container on a 64bit host? I've not managed to find any indication that this is officially supported in docker, but it seems to work just fine. > > Docker has some nice attributes, in particular no need for root > > access.

Well, I'm probably imprecise here. What I meant was that after the service has been started (which requires root) any user in the docker group can start images. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@xxxxxxxxxxxx jabber: magnus@xxxxxxxxxxxx twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Goto labels should be left-aligned in all caps and should include the programmer's name, home phone number, and credit card number. -- Abdul Nizar
