What is Moby?

Fedora, RHEL and CentOS

Fedora

RHEL

CentOS

The Difference Between Fedora, Redhat, and CentOS

● Run By RedHat (company)● Community driven● Focused on quick releases (~6 Month)● Stresses features and functionality● Free

● Based on Fedora● Run by RedHat (company)● Focused on long releases for stability● Stresses stability over features● Commercial (non-free)

● Based on commercial releases of RedHat (distro)● Run by the community● Basically RedHat without the cost or support

Goal of Moby

12

● “An open framework to assemble specialized container systems without reinventing the wheel.”

● Provides○ Library of containerized components○ Tools to assemble components into products○ Set of reference assemblies

What is Moby?

15

● Move to clearly separate Project from Product○ NO replacement for Docker the product○ Help to separate highly opinionated decisions (e.g. UI design)

● Move to breakup the monolith○ Going back to the UNIX philosophy

● The project just started○ A lot of discussions and work needs to be done

■ e.g. centralize the tooling that is already there

● Moby tool should be for general assemblies○ RancherOS○ Currently assembles bootable OS images (linuxkit/linuxkit)

Docker CE

16

● Docker Engine (docker/docker -> moby/moby)○ runC○ containerd○ Libnetwork○ ...

● Docker CLI (docker/cli)

31 May 2017 Jochen Zehnder @elft3r

Docker CE

17

● Docker CE Packaging (docker/docker-ce-packaging)○ Tools to build the single products

● ‘moby-components’ script (shykes/moby-extras)○ Tool to manage multiple upstream

repositories in one big repository○ uses components.conf

31 May 2017 Jochen Zehnder @elft3r

Conclusion

18

● Moby project just started○ Call for help of the community

● Separate project from product● No changes for the end user● Moby a tool to help build products (container systems)

○ First assembly: create bootable OS Images
