Blueprints
This directory will contain the blueprints for base systems on the platforms that we support with LinuxKit.
These will be used for running tests, and for the low level parts of blueprints for higher level systems.
These include all the platforms that Docker has editions on, and all platforms that our community supports. The detailed blueprints will be addded soon for at least the following platforms. There are WIP versions in the examples/ directory.
- MacOS
- Windows Hyper-V
- VMWare
- KVM
- AWS
- Azure
- GCP
- BlueMix
- Packet.net
- ...
Docker for Mac
An initial blueprint for the open source components of Docker for Mac is available in docker-for-mac. The blueprint has support for controlling dockerd from the host via vsudd and port forwarding with VPNKit. It requires HyperKit, VPNKit and a Docker client on the host to run. The easiest way to install these at the moment is to install a recent version of Docker for Mac.
To build it with the latest Docker CE:
$ linuxkit build -name docker-for-mac base.yml docker-ce.yml
To run the VM with a 4G disk:
linuxkit run hyperkit -networking=vpnkit -vsock-ports=2376 -disk size=4096M -data ./metadata.json docker-for-mac
In another terminal you should now be able to access docker via the socket guest.00000947 in the state directory (docker-for-mac-state/ by default):
$ docker -H unix://docker-for-mac-state/guest.00000948 ps

Linux Containers On Windows (LCOW)
The LCOW blueprint has moved to its own repository.
