Comment on Why is my home server using so much RAM for cache + buffer?
theterrasque@infosec.pub 5 days agoJust a small detail, docker containers aren’t vm’s and not running their own os. They run inside a jail under the host kernel

True, I was oversimplifying a bit. It’s not a full VM, but often it is a full OS depending on how the container was created. I’ve seen crappy containers that start with a full desktop version of Ubuntu for instance. They are often optimized installations for running virtually, but more for things like the base for VDIs, not individual application containers.
