Comment on My first seccam, now the Frigate mystery in LXC
trilobite@lemmy.ml 3 days agoAh right. Docker seems to have gained more ground than LXC if its the first time I come across it. I hadn’t realised they were similar, especially after I discovered that people are running docker in LXC …

They aren’t really competing in the same space. LXC is more comparable to jails or openvz in that they provide an os layer, Docker does not.
I recently saw docker described in a web comic where some poor dev was bemoaning that his software “worked on his machine”, and his teacher says “then we’ll ship your machine”, meaning Docker sets up a software environment for a project to work, nothing more.
Docker was at first based on lxc, but has since moved to its own libcontainer.
