## New Contributors
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Daniel Finneran @thebsdbox from HPE added support for building vmdk images [#1357](https://github.com/docker/moby/pull/1357). There is discussion of extending this to producing VMX files in issue [#1366](https://github.com/docker/moby/issues/1366).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We continued to invite people to participate; if you have any suggestions for additional people who are interested please let us know.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Welcome everyone, looking forward to your contributions and working with you. Please open issues on github if you need help, or ask on #moby in the (Docker community slack)[https://community.docker.com/registrations/groups/4316].

## Projects
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
An additional project was added for adding SELinux support, which has been on the roadmap for a while. Tycho (@tych0) from Docker is currently working on this.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A WIP PR for the HPE OKernel work was added [#1373](https://github.com/docker/moby/pull/1373), this should be included with its runtime tools soon.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## This week
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The big change this week was reworking the command line tool, so it now has `moby build` and `moby run` options. The aim of the `moby run` option is to cover the simple cases
|
||||||
|
where you want to test out an image you have built; it is not intended as a production tool, just as a simpler workflow for testing. The aim is to have a default option per
|
||||||
|
platform, such as the hyperkit option there is for MacOS now, so we will add Qemu/KVM support for Linux and Hyper-V support for Windows. In addition there will be support for
|
||||||
|
optional drivers, such as local VMWare Fusion, as discussed in [#1357](https://github.com/docker/moby/pull/1357) which can have their own custom options; we will probably add the GCE
|
||||||
|
support here too to make it even simpler to run.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In addition to `moby build` and `moby run` we have previously discussed adding a `moby cluster` type option to simply create a cluster, by default with infrakit, essentially as a
|
||||||
|
simple infrakit wrapper. Again this is not intended for production use but just to run simple test and development cases. For production that plan is that `moby build` can produce
|
||||||
|
the artifacts you need for your production ops tooling.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A whole lot more code has been moved to Go code this week; in addition to the hyperkit bindings, some of the Docker containers that we were using for build have been removed. The next
|
||||||
|
change there is to rewrite the very indirect use of `riddler` running in a container that we started using in the old Editions code some months ago to a cleaner way. We plan to use more
|
||||||
|
image handling code from `containerd` in future for unpacking the root filesystems, as it should make the code much cleaner.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
More test code was added by Rolf in [#1363)(https://github.com/docker/moby/pull/1363), for testing the vsock and hvsock code we use a lot in Docker Editions. Dave Tucker (@dave-tucker)
|
||||||
|
from Docker is going to be working on configuring CI to run additional tests [#1336](https://github.com/docker/moby/issues/1336), so we get solid test coverage on different platforms
|
||||||
|
and can provide CI for projects and new platforms. This includes CI on both cloud and bare metal platforms, and the ability to test with VMs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We continued to move code around the repo; not everything is in the right place yet but it should become clearer where to find things, and some unused parts were deleted. We will
|
||||||
|
sprinkle READMEs around soon to help navigation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Containerd was updated to master; while Moby runs `containerd`, we are actually starting system services thought `runc` still, as the rate of change on `containerd` has been very
|
||||||
|
rapid. The [addition of container level Prometheus metrics](https://github.com/docker/containerd/pull/646) to `containerd` this week means that we will be able to get system
|
||||||
|
container metrics out of Moby once we switch, so will try to do this soon.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There was some more documentation added this week, but this continues to be a priority. We cleaned up some old issues, but more need closing.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Naming
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We are all quite fond of the "moby" codename this project has had since late 2015; see the [first commit](https://github.com/docker/moby/commit/0fa1e68dc65c5f484ce9c2851b5efa2c8617d4f9)
|
||||||
|
for the original plan. However this has always been a temporary name, and any suggestions for a permanent one welcomed. So do not be surprised if we rename the repo at some point soon.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Dockercon
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- there will be a talk by @justincormack on Moby (currently billed as containerd...)
|
||||||
|
- there will be a Docker Security talk with @riyazdf (`Secure Substrate: Least Privilege Container Deployment`) that will highlight Moby
|
||||||
|
- there will be a session and lots of time to talk at the Thursday summit - get in touch if you need an invite.
