Docker Inc changed their requirements on the use of the name Docker. So we stopped packaging Docker directly on Fedora. Moby is the upstream project comprising a lot of what Docker is and will be. So we ship that in Fedora. Simultaneous with this we began working on splitting apart what was Docker into a series of smaller tools that could run any OCI/Docker Image in the same way that the Docker Daemon did. But with different security goals. Skopeo - Allows you to copy container images from any container registry to other types of container storage including other container registries. Think of this as scp for container images. Does not require root on the host to run. Buildah - Container image builder that allows the user to build OCI/Docker images and push them to contianer registries. Does not require root. Allows use of Dockerfile as well as simple bash scripting for creating container images. Can be run without any privilege inside of another container. Podman - Complete replacement of the Docker CLI. Implements almost all of the familiar commands from the Docker CLI with the same CLI. alias docker=podman, and your commands should work. Works rootless as well as root. Does not require a Daemon to be run. Really works well with Systemd. Also supports lots of advanced features like Pods. CRI-O - Container Runtime Interface Daemon for running Kubernetes workloads. Dedicated/optimized to Kubernetes. Does not support any other orchestrators. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
